Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a walk outside & a quick upper body workout between appointments. The food store (2 of them) didn't have any brussel sprouts or frozen corn. I thought that was strange will try again tomorrow. If not will just sub for something else.

Belinda - Great job with Pilates full body. At least you weren't snowed in. Do you travel to a new city tomorrow? How is Sadie doing?

Cookie - It must be fun spending time with your Granddaughter. My Grandson loves to be wheeled in the stroller not sure what will happen when he walks.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! A rainy, drizzly day here. Trying to control chaos was my wo today! Well, it's just that there are a lot of folks here right now, and I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

Deb, mine loves the stroller also. She can walk, but loves the stroller. Since it was raining this afternoon, she had me pushing her in the stroller in the house! We couldn't find flour at the store and no brussel sprouts either!

Belinda, Where did you travel to - is it closer to your hometown? It's amazing how you manage to get your workouts in.
 
Happy Thanksgiving,

I did pilates core (20 min) early this morning before we heading to Kehlheim to meet up with my kids, than we all heading to Nuernberg. Both my kids arrived yesterday. We will spend a week with them in Nuernberg.Than DH and I will spent some time with my sisters.

Debbie - yes, we are going today to my hometown which is Nuernberg. Sadie is doing amazing. She is the best travel companion. We did get a lot of snow in Garmisch yesterday. It is a ski resort. It does look pretty.

Cookie - I am from Nuernberg. It feels good to stretch out my body in the evening. Plus, I don‘t feel bad eating so much food, lol. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm very thankful to have you two in my life. You inspire me, cheer me on, and are wonderful friends. We did a 5K this morning.

Deb, hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! Does your grandson like turkey?

Belinda, lucky you, to have family there, as well as have your family visit there. That Sadie is one lucky little dog.
 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!​

Hi,

I brought dinner to my Mom's today and spent it with my brother & older ds. Our younger ds works on Thanksgiving so they have a small dinner at home. I am exhausted from cooking and hope to sleep in tomorrow:) I am also grateful for the 2 of you and being able to share and be a part of your daily life.

Belinda - Great job with Pilates core. It sounds like you are having a great time. How exciting you will be visiting your hometown & joining your kids. Have a great time:) Do you still know people from your hometown?

Cookie - Amazing you did a 5k and hosted Thanksgiving:) We saw a video of him loving the turkey & especially the mashed potatoes. How about your granddaughter? I'm guessing you will have guests through the weekend.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! I've decided to count hosting as a workout. Today we had more visitors for the day, which means my poor dishwasher received a few more workouts, plus what we hand wash!

Deb, it is exhausting! But, I'm sure your mom, brother, and elder ds really appreciated it. the granddaughter loves food, but surprisingly, not mashed potatoes. Guests for the rest of the weekend. Tuesday we'll have a large get together at one of my sisters, and then Friday the town holiday parade goes past our house, so it will be a houseful again. My middle son returns to Spain on the 7th, so until he leaves, we'll have lots of company.

Belinda, glad you're having a fantastic time. Just hope you're taking care of yourself.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & upper body at the gym. We are going to dinner tonight. We have way too many leftovers even after giving my Mom & brother food.

Belinda - Safe travels to your hometown.

Cookie - I'm exhausted just hearing about your get togethers LOL, it is a workout!! Have fun soon you will be able to rest up.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I am still keeping up with Pilates. I am getting lots of steps in. Yesterday I had over 20K. Legs are feeling it.
Today we are going to Rothenburg an der Tauber. Later that evening we are meeting up with my family for dinner.

I will be back later tonight.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. My knee is swollen, same one but hurts in a different place. I'm not sure what's going on. I took some alleve.

Belinda - Great job keeping up with Pilates and so many steps! My legs/feet would be hurting. You are really on the move, but so many exciting events.

Cookie - Have fun with your family.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

Lots of outdoor walking today. We went to Bamburg to see the Seehof Castle and Altenburg castle.

Debbie - sorry about your knee. Ice and rest. I hope you feel better soon. My feet were hurting yesterday, I wanted to sit down and not move, lol. I wore my sneakers today. I feel much better.

Cookie - I was born and raised in Nürnberg. Honestly the only thing I am looking for is the food and the decorations. My DIL and my daughters fiancé are getting a kick out of the Christmas markets.

DD is having a wedding photo shot tomorrow around the castle. I can‘t wait to see it. Not sure what we all doing tomorrow?

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was the live yoga class with my neighbor's dd. I modified because of my knee and it worked out. Also wore a knee brace. We had unexpected light snow showers today. Too early for me:)

Belinda - It sounds like you are having a great time. Visiting the castles must be amazing. I am sure the photo shoot around the castle will be beautiful.

Cookie - I bet you had snow too.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Sorry for not checking in but it's been pretty busy here. Worked today and then had a large family dinner. We're supposed to get snow tomorrow.

Deb, that's curious about your knee. Have you considered going to a doctor for it?

Belinda, hope the photo shoot goes well tomorrow. What a beautiful setting for a lovely event.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. I'm a little nervous that we are in the month of December already.

Belinda - Hope you are having a nice day!

Cookie - I'm sure you have been very busy. Will they still have the parade if it snows tomorrow? We are expecting a mix of snow & rain. I am trying to wait it out on my knee, but if it doesn't improve will go to the Dr.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

Yesterday was my 43th anniversary. We spend the last day with my kids. I had so much fun. I got a lot of steps in yesterday. It was my kids last day in Germany, we went last minute Christmas markets and buying gifts for families. DH and I decided to stay with my sisters in Nürnberg. We spent a few day‘s with my younger sister than my older sister. We had so much snow in Garmisch we didn‘t wanted to risk getting caught up in bad weather. Nürnberg is cold, no snow. My knees are so swollen from walking so much, we took it easy today. Not sure what we will do tomorrow? My sister took some time off work so we can hang out and talk.

This evening I did a Empowering Pilates (to strengthen your upper back, improve posture, and create better alignment.)

The time change is throwing me off with the live workouts. Tomorrow is a 7 am Pilates live class, I hope I can make it.

Debbie - December came quickly. Please don‘t wait to long to see a Dr for your knees.

Cookie - the photo shoot went well. They looked beautiful. I ended up running into the photo shoot, the lady took a picture for me with DD and her fiancé.I ask her if she could take one on my phone, she said I can take it for me. That was very nice of her to do. The setting was lovely. It took them 5 hours. I can‘t wait to see the pictures.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Did some Essentrics today, but am feeling a little under the weather. It may be I'm just worn out from all the hosting and work at the same time. Snow here today. We have about 8 inches.

Deb, how's your knee after the walk? How long has your knee been bothering you? Hopefully by Friday, the snow should be cleared up, unless more comes. I don't remember them ever cancelling or postponing the parade, but who knows?

Belinda, the photo shoot sounds beautiful. That's great that your sister was able to take time off work to spend it with you. Take it easy on your knee.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym & upper body workout. My knee doesn't bother me when walking just when I do certain leg exercises. I will not be doing legs for a couple of weeks and see how it feels.

Belinda - Happy Anniversary!! A perfect place to spend it. How exciting you are spending time with your sisters. Great that you are getting in Pilates but I can see why you may skip the early morning ones. I'm sure the pictures will be beautiful, it was nice you were able to sneak in:)

Cookie - I'm sure you are exhausted, hopefully you catch up on sleep and feel better. I saw Phoenicia had 12 inches of snow, DH used to go skiing in that town when we were single. My knee doesn't hurt when I walk but I guess because I'm not bending it.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Another Essentrics day. Have a dr's appt in the morning, where I'm hoping to be cleared for working out again. Then off to do a conference.

Deb, glad the knee doesn't bother you when walking. What do you think it might be? Our driveway didn't get plowed til after 11 last night, so the road must have been quite bad. I heard the state police had advised folks not to travel some roads.

Belinda, did you make your Pilates class? I'm sure you're getting plenty of exercise with all the walking you do. Enjoy!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the treadmill & zoom yoga which I modified. I started decorating it seems like it will take me a few days.

Belinda - I'm sure you are enjoying time with your sister. When do you come home?

Cookie - Great job getting in Essentrics. Is the swollen all gone? I hope all goes well with your Dr.'s appointment. It's strange the pain started on the side of my knee, moved to the front and now it's only in the back of my knee. I think walking indoors and not doing leg workouts is helping me have less pain.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I am still keeping up with Pilates in the evenings. That is the only time I have to get something in. We are constantly doing something during the day. I didn‘t get the live class in at 7 am. Like I said, I do get a OnDemand in in the evenings. I also get in a lot of steps. We are staying with my younger sister until tomorrow than stay with my older sister until we leave on Monday.

Yesterday I did a posture/lower body workout. Today I will do a full body workout in the evening.

Debbie - I do enjoy my time with my sisters. We fly back on Monday morning. Great job on the threaTM and yoga.

Cookie - great job on Essentrics. Fingers crossed on getting cleared to workout.

I will be back.
 
'Evening! Got in a walk today, and boy is it cold here! Tomorrow is supposed to be even colder.

Deb, that's strange how the pain has shifted around. Hope the treadmill walking and no leg wo continue t help.

Belinda, a week with each sister, that sounds so nice. Enjoy your time together.
