Hi Everyone,

This morning I was feeling really stiff so I did:

Trifeccta Pilates - Wake up with Pilates and the 2nd half of the Tone, Burn & Stretch workout I started yesterday.

It is finally sunny and that should help a bit w/ our moods! Last night DD and I walked and we'll walk again tonight.

I may try to get a "spark" in this afternoon - I'm finding some short - 10-20 min - bursts help throughout they day.

Sherry - I'm glad you are feeling better! What a relief. I also did hear that Cerave has a tinted mineral sunscreen, it has gotten good reviews, so when I next venture out or place an order, I may try it.

wishiwasinhawaii - I'm glad I don't have to go in to the office any more. It just isn't worth the risk.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Donna

I took a walk this morning, about a mile and it took me 30 minutes. I went down our canal path, and it was a beautiful morning. Sunny and high 60's. It was nice to see people and smile and wave at them. I missed my doggies while walking. But I'm sure my cats don't miss them, lol.

I also pulled some weeds. I think I'm going to reorganize our games on shelves in our Arizona room.

I also made a Walmart run. I keep thinking I should have everything, but I'm low on kitty litter and Listerine. I had heard those things were hard to get, but fortunately, I found both of them. I've been reading that people are doing puzzles, I wish I had thought to pick one up. I did try Costco, as this morning is senior hours. The line was so long, I went to Walmart.

Donna, I will have to look for that sunscreen. Now I'm wondering if my itching is due to stress. I have a Eucerin lotion, a Dollar General Lotion and the CeraVe Lotion. The CeraVe Lotion was the only one that relieved the itching. And darn, I forgot to pick up a bottle at Walmart!

Hi Everyone,

This morning was back to Ellen with Fat Burning Fusion!

Yesterday I did a "spark" with Pahla B's Hot 100 Day # 1 and also took a walk with DD before dinner.

I may attempt another spark and a walk later today.

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy and sane.

This morning I did Jessica's you tube Total Body Barre. I also did 15 minutes of my own dumbbell moves while watching you tube. However, I must have strained something, because my lower back was really bothering me tonight. I did a you tube Essentrics workout: Stretch: Psoas, IT & Hips with Miranda Esmonde-White. It did help quite a bit, a lot of the soreness is gone.

Donna, I'm glad you got a walk in.

i,

This morning was:

Ellen's Barre Conditioning
Trifecta Pilates - Strength & Connection (1st half). I'm finding if I break up the longer Trifecta workouts it works well for me!

We will get a walk in outdoors and then I'll finish the Pilates workout afterwards.

Yesterday my "spark" was Trifecta Pilates - Standing Weights - which was a bit more of a traditional weight workout - it was only 15 minutes so it was a good one for a quick mid day workout. DD and I also took a walk.

Grocery shopping is interesting - we are doing delivery but you really have to plan ahead as it can take several weeks for your delivery to arrive - but I'd rather do that than go out and get stuff in the store. Once this is all over I may continue to do grocery delivery - I have always detested grocery shopping and if not for the shortages, this would be a good way of avoiding it!

Sherry - glad you felt better after CS.

I'm feeling like I should be finding projects to do around the house, but honestly just want to sit and relax!

Waves,

Donna

can I count cleaning house as a workout LOL

I did no workout today. I had no motivation, so decided to give myself a mental health day. I stopped reading the news, and scrolling FB. It's too stressful!

Donna, I noticed that Miranda is putting more videos on You Tube. Maybe that's one positive in this crisis! I was surprised at how difficult some of the leg moves were for me, I had some DOMS in my glutes today.

pgun, I would count it! A little housework is all I did today!

Hi Everyone,

This morning I did:

Ellen - Moving for Beauty
Trifecta Pilates - 15 Min Quick Pilates Routine

I did walk yesterday and finished some of the Pilates workout I had started in the morning. I think my sweet spot for Beth's workouts is 30 min. The longer ones tend to drag for me, but the shorter ones seem rushed.

Pgun - housework counts! I have some to do today!

Sherry - sometimes you just need a break. The news and everything is just overwhelming. I'm finding the weekends are hard for me b/c there is nothing to distract me so I tend to think about all of this and therefore worry about it all the more. Good job on finding projects to do around the house. I should do that on the weekends, but lately I just haven't wanted to do anything on the weekends except lay around.

Waves wishiwasinhawaii. I hope Pam is ok.....

I've been busy with yard work yesterday and today. The weather has been great so it was a good opportunity to get outside and do something other than worry about the virus! I didn't do a workout yesterday because I was outside all day, but today I did a short Jessica strength workout.

Donna, I've been ordering groceries online and it's been great! Like you said, I may just continue to do this once this mess is over. I put an order in today and assumed it would take days to get here, but it came in 5 hours!!! I was shocked.

Sherry, I'll have to check out Miranda's workouts on youtube. I agree about taking a break from the news. I've started checking the news in the morning when I first get up and then don't look at it again until after dinner. That's enough for me. Otherwise, it's just too overwhelming.

Time to watch Netflix!

Today was two shorter You Tube workouts, 15 Minute Total Body Strength Fat Burning Circuit, and the Best Thigh Exercises for Bad Knees. I find I can motivate myself to do a short workout, then I'm able to add another in.

I've also noticed that my lower back issues are most likely because I have weak abs, and I don't engage them. I really focused on engaging my abs this morning, and my lower back feels much better.

If I remember, I want to do a short Jessica yoga dvd stretch tonight.

I am planning on starting to paint my living room tomorrow. One wall at a time, so I don't over do it. We have vaulted ceilings, so that makes it more difficult. I won't be doing the ceiling, it's way too high, I can't reach it even with a ladder. I keep asking myself why I bought a house with vaulted ceilings, lol.

wishiwasinhawaii, getting outside definitely helps. I need to go on more outdoor walks.

Donna, it is hard to get motivated. I did better today, and did some laundry and housework, along with cooking.
