Wind advisory here. Winds 20-30 mph with 45 mph gusts. Not such a nice day. March is definitely coming in like a lion here too, Katie! Temps aren't bad and they're saying 59 on Sunday but the wind is nasty.

Vannie, I'm afraid we sent you the wind! It's calmer now. Supposed to be in the 60's the next few days. I'm hoping it'll improve things. Right now it's greasy mud over ice. I took Belle for a very short walk today and I had to be really careful. She loved it though!

Sherry thanks on the weight loss. I definitely cut back on a lot of the processed foods. I'm trying very hard not to fall back into some of those patterns. Goodwill shopping sounds like fun! I love the idea of buying summer tops right now.

Waves to MT and Scarlett!

It was 84 here today. We are having a nice spring. It's supposed to cool down to the 70's next week. No workout today, but I did my volunteer filing in the office.

Vannie, that does sound like a strong wind. Take care and don't blow away!

Katie, I always lose weight when I stop eating the processed food. So hard to resist though.

Waves to MT and Scarlett.

This morning I did Minna Lessig's Fat Eliminator. This is six 4-minute circuits of strength then cardio. I haven't worked out in a few weeks and was surprised how much this got my heart rate up. I have always loved Minna and this was perfect for me today. Cyric and I walked just over 4 miles before the workout and I did Slim & Limber after it.

This morning I did Happy Yoga with Sarah Starr S1E2 and Classical Stretch S11E3. I have major DOMS from yesterday so I just wanted some easy movement.

I'm just calling this month a loss. I don't have my spreadsheet done and no idea when I'll feel like doing it so taking the month off.

I'm getting out and walking a little more. A few of my fav walking spots are still pretty squishy though.

Along with my reg. P.T. type exercises, I've been watching Jill Miller(TuneUpFitness) on youtube. She's on a vagus nerve relaxation tangent right now and they're actually pretty good. Amazes me how she's evolved as a teacher and her focus.

Vannie, not a bad idea to just wing it from time to time. You're still getting in some nice exercising and awesome that you and Cyric could go on a 4+mile walk!

It has been a hard month. We lost my mother-in-law on Wednesday. We were up the week before to see her and then back up again after we got the call. Very sad time for us. I could not have had a better second mom.

I'm so sorry, Vannie! Big hugs!

Vantreesta · 03-16-20, 06:43 PM

Thank you!

Leonana · 03-16-20, 09:07 PM

Vannie, I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother in law. Praying for your family.
