Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Evening,

Today I did LMR core Fusion + 2 live zoom dance classes, one was with the fan veil. I also did pilates mobility.

Starting next week, I will re-evaluate my workouts. I am kinda burned out working out so much with everything that is going on with my live. My daughter just had surgery, they got the tumor out, her margins are still very high. She needs a 4th surgery next month. I pray that will be her last one. She is very worried, the last surgery she came out of anesthesia hard. My RP is too the roof. My knees are swollen again. I just don’t get it? My doc told me, eventually I a knee replacement. My husband has a lot of health problems. It just doesn’t stop :( Please keep DD in your prayers.

Debbie - we bought a Chevrolet trex last week for the RV. Not sure when we will pick out the RV? We also need to replace all our window shades and windows. It’s all on hold until I know what is going on with DD.

Hi Cookie - I hope you check in soon. Miss you.

Good night.
 
Hi.

We didn’t walk today it was so hot & humid. I just did cleaning in the condo and ate too much;). We leave for home tomorrow afternoon. My younger DS had emergency surgery to remove an abscess from his colon, he is taking it easy.

Belinda - My thoughts and prayers are with dd and your family. Your family is going through so much. Great job with LMR core fusion & 2 zoom classes. I can see why you want to reevaluate your workouts. I’m sure it’s stressful. Great that you found a car.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today was cleaning the condo before we left and walking at the airport. We were delayed 2 hours, it wasn't too bad. Surprisingly the plane was empty.

Belinda - I hope all is well, thinking about you & DD.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. I came home very late, was so tired from helping DD’s event in DC. It was very fun event.

Debbie - sorry about your delay. That is never fun. Safe travels.

I will be back later.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & going to the farmer's market & food store. I'm a little surprised how cold it is and our heat is running a lot.

Belinda - It sounds like you had a lot of fun helping DD with her event:)

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I did Pilates lower body = 23 min + Jessica Smith 20 min Lift: Lower Body Splits. I am trying to keep my weight workouts around 30 min. I will go for a walk shortly, Sadie needs to get her exercise too.

My plan the next few weeks is to keep my weight workouts around 30 min (do 2 or 3 a week). Depending on how I feel. Pilates I will do 5 times a week, need the mobility/stretching. Do my dancing Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, I love it. I also will try to walk more outside. I will do more JS workouts, not sure why I am not doing them more often. I don’t feel wiped out with her workouts.

Debbie - it is so cold here. It did got nicer in the afternoon. My heater is running too. Great job on your walk. I hope you found great stuff at the famers market. Ours is on Saturday only.

Hi Cookie.

Have a great Monday, everyone,
 
'Evening! I've missed you two! Skimmed over the past few entries, and am sorry to read about your challenges. We came home Friday, and it has been hectic trying to catch up with everything. Saw granddaughter on Saturday. Her brother is due next week already! Sunday was a visit with eldest ds and then a play. Today was dr's appointments and meetings. I need another vacation just from the past few days! I'm able to walk on flat surfaces and avoid stairs and most inclines.

Deb, sorry for all the rain you had while in FL. Hope your ds and dh are doing better soon. It was freezing in NJ on Saturday when we visited ds and his family. I wasn't ready for the dampness and wind.

Belinda, reevaluating your workouts sounds like a great idea. I'm sad and sorry to think my days of Cathe's challenging workouts are over, but guess it is just a different season in my life.
 
Hi,

Today was a leg workout at the gym. We also babysat for a few hours today. I think I have a UTI so made an appointment for the Dr. tomorrow. It's wiping me out.

Belinda - It's sounds like a good plan for your workouts. It is a nice mix and easily switched around as needed. It is a nice time of year to walk outside (at least in the afternoon). Penne did so much better today since it was cooler.

Cookie - You fit in a lot on your return from vacation. I'm sure your vacation was fun. I can't believe your GS will be here in a week. It will be exciting but lots of work I'm sure. My SILs helped out with my gs when we were away & my ds needed surgery and they couldn't believe how much work it was.

Goodnight:)
 
'Afternoon! Dr's appt, massage, a walk, and work. Have an online meeting to do starting shortly

Deb, it is a lot of work caring for a little one. Your ds and dil are very fortunate to have you. Hope you got in with the dr today. A UTI can cause a lot of issues. How is your son doing?

Belinda, I don't know how you keep up with all those workouts! Currently, I'm off all heavy weights and everything lower body. JS workouts are great for packing a lot in in a short amount of time and have a wide variety. How's your dd doing?
 
Evening,

Today I did live zoom dancing plus Pilates for posture. I also went for a walk.

Debbie - great job on your leg workout and walk. Yes, it’s beautiful for a walk. Sadie enjoys it too_Oh no… I hope your appointment went well today. How is your son doing?

Cookie - I been doing Cathe’s workouts for the last 5 months or longer. Just need shorter workouts, DD had cancer, they got the tumor out. Her margins are still very high. She is hanging in there. She needs a 4th surgery, next one is Nov 4th. I just don’t want to commit to long sessions at the moment. We also need to pick up our RV soon. DD is selling her condo in DC, we are helping her getting it ready for sale. Lots of work. Sadie is doing better, still needs to be monitored/vet appointment every few weeks. It’s just a lot.I agree, JS workouts are great for packing a little into a short amount of time. I hope your appointment went well. Great job on your walk.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was Cathe Kickbox & Upper body. We walked at the park. The Dr. is not sure if it's a UTI, they will be sending it to the lab for further testing.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dancing & Pilates, & walk. My son is improving, he meets with the surgeon for a follow-up later this week. Will you put the RV in winter storage or have it year round?

Cookie - You were very busy today, the massage sounds nice, guessing it was the best part of the day:) My son is feeling better, he has a follow-up this week. I was surprised he lost a bit of weight from all of this.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did a JS Upper body plus Pilates. Getting ready for a short walk.

Debbie - great job on KB & upper body. I hope you get the test results soon. Glad your son is improving. I hope his follow up appointment goes well next week. The RV is still in Red Bay, AL. We have to get it first before we put it in storage. Before we pick up the RV, we probably will stay in TN a few days before we heading home. We are waiting to get the base plate on the car to safely flat tow it behind the RV.

Flat towing, also called dinghy towing, four‑down towing, or simply toad towing, means hauling a vehicle behind your RV with all four wheels on the road, connected via a tow bar to a base plate. No dolly, no trailer, just your toad (aka towed vehicle) trailing smoothly behind your motorhome.

Waving Hi to Cookie.

'Evening! Rest day. Went to dinner tonight w/one of my sisters and her husband before they leave for winter warmer climates.

Deb, gladd your son is improving. It must be so worrisome having him go through surgery and losing weight. Did the dr give you anything in case it is or to relieve current symptoms?

Belinda, I'm so sorry you're going through all this, and esp with your dd. We're keeping her and you in our thoughts. You have a lot going on.
 
Hi,

Today was zoom yoga. I also took a short walk. My older ds is coming home tomorrow for my gs's birthday on Saturday.

Belinda - Great job with JS UB plus Pilates & walk. Is JS the instructor with the dog in her videos? You know all the ways & technical terms on how to trail your SUV:)

Cookie - It sounds like a nice time with your sister & BIL. We missed most of the snowbirds in FL, we saw 2 or 3 couples. We went to early this year or maybe they came later because of the hurricane. Does your sister come back for the holidays?

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

I did 2 live zoom dance classes plus Pilates core. DH and I went for a nice long walk this afternoon, have to take advantage of this weather.

Debbie - great job on your zoom yoga and walk. That is wonderful your DS is coming home today for the birthday on Saturday. LOL, we own RV’s for a very long time.

Cookie - I hope you’ve enjoyed your dinner with your sister and husband. Thank you about DD. Yes, we have a lot going on. Staying positive!

Good night.
 
'Evening! A short walk today and my pt exercises.

Deb, that's wonderful your ds will be here for your gs birthday! I'm sure you'll be taking lots of photos. Yes, this year she is coming back for Christmas. She has missed celebrating with her kids in the past and doesn't want to miss any more.

Belinda, a nice long walk in the fall sounds wonderful. Staying positive is the only way to manage life, in my opinion.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & legs at the gym. It was really nice out today.

Belinda - Great job with 2 zoom dance classes and Pilates core. You are right about taking advantage of the nice weather. I get so sad when the sunsets so early but still have another week before we turn back the clocks.

Cookie - Great getting in a walk & your PT exercises. Do you feel the PT exercises are helping? My Mom is currently doing PT for her back and leg.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

Live zoom dance. Plus Pilates 24 min + JS TB splits.

Debbie - I love this time of the year. The weather is perfect. Great job on your legwork out and walk

Cookie - great job on your walk and PT exercises.

Good night.
