Hello all,
Kate, I'm so sorry to read the news about Justin. Sending {{hugs}} and thoughts and prayers your way. bee, I'm glad you got to be with family for awhile. Also crossing my fingers that your test comes back negative and you just picked up a cold on your trip. I know I seem to get a cold every time we fly except for really short hops, so hopefully that's what it is. FN1 and FOLV, interesting that you both get carsick on windy uphill roads. As one who grew up in the mountains, I'm glad I don't have that issue or I would have spent a lot of time feeling sick! However, I do get carsick if I ride in a car backwards, so sitting in the cars that have a rear facing back seat is a no go for me. FOLV, I giggled at your comment that snakes always have the right of way. My DH absolutely hates snakes and the hike would be over if he saw one and he would be ready to leave the state. Now he saw a panther on a bike ride in Florida and that didn't bother him and it could have done him more harm than a rat snake. Funny that he is a snake hater as I have found them fascinating since childhood and always wanted to go to the reptile house first at the zoo. That said, no reptiles in the house as pets for us. Oh, and with all your efforts with our group your name needs to be MamaVol. manley, those Caroline workouts sound good. I do like her so I'm glad to get some recommendations. Kate, I kinda think that Jari doesn't really do a lot of heavy weight lifting or it could be that she is backing away from presenting and putting other instructors forward. I like that workout and need to pull it out again and the guy (I think we were calling him "Jack" since we can't remember his name ) does a good job. BabyW, thinking about you and sending virtual hugs. Yesterday I did CL #84 ICE Total Body Compound Weights. It was good, got better when I remembered that the ICE series is intermediate and went heavier with my weights. Today I did some walking and that's it. My body was saying it needed a rest. Oh, I wanted to ask, is anyone considering the Cathe virtual roadtrip since it's no longer in person? Waves and hugs to all.

Hey All! Negative covid results so that makes me happy and not surprisingly somehow I don't feel sick anymore. Well honestly, my throat is still a bit sore but there's a lot more pep in my step!!
While I am attracted to the idea of the virtual road trip, I don't think I will partake. I have learned the hard way that I like to sign up for these kinds of things and then when they are happening I am busy with other things and it is just a waste for me. It does sound fun and tempting though!! I also had to laugh at the snakes having right of way comment! Spot on. manleym, I went back and read more thoroughly your Caroline workout comments -- they do sound good! I have made note and think I will try them. I was just setting up next year's calendar yesterday (academic calendar, sort of) and noticing that I started with some of the Caroline workouts as early as January last year. I was surprised at that -- would have guessed it was later in the year. Love the MamaVol name! This morning I did a workout from one of the three (yes, three!) barlates dvds I acquired during Mary's sale. Many of the workouts available on youtube but not all I wanted ease of playing. At any rate, today I did this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM8ryiK8-eg&t=149s Triple Burn Weights, it was called. I liked it and definitely felt the exercises she picked, but..... for upper body she only explicitly worked biceps and shoulders, so that was a little odd. I haven't done enough of her stuff to know if she would round out the work if I did the right workouts in the same week or whatever. Weather is cool here -- I know it won't last -- we will have indian summer still (hmm, I suppose that needs a new name these days) but I am enjoying it and it makes me want to bake everything and make soup, etc. I am a newish fan of the half baked harvest website for recipes and she has 40 (I think that's the number) favorite fall recipes and they all look so good! I do have pears and apples that need to be made into a crisp today, so think I'll do that later. Thinking about all of you with extra challenges going on now and sending out love and hugs.

Hello Watulans,
Bee I'm glad your test was negative. My husband recently had one too because he was feeling sort of achy with a sore throat. He has been vaccinated and his test was also negative. But it's so difficult to know because symptoms are very similar to a regular old cold. Linda your posts continue to make me laugh and smile. Finding the rat snake on your hike does not sound fun at all. Last year while on the lawn tractor, I spied two rat snakes hanging out of a tree in our back yard. I told my husband about them and he didn't do any weed whacking in the back yard the entire rest of the summer! He hates snakes more than I do! Luckily, this year we haven't seen any in the yard, but we did see one crossing the road on its way to our neighbor's yard. (which is right next to our yard, ha) Also want to thank Linda for the core awareness and recommendations you mentioned in the Fitchicks checkin. I know I need to make myself more aware of my movements and when I was in pain I was being very deliberate about my posture and how I moved. Now that my pain has basically subsided, I'm falling back into just doing things without thinking. Bad, bad, bad. I am expecting to be discharged today from therapy with a home exercise program. Hey to ChelePA and Nathalie! Hope you're both mending on track.

Quick check in to say Bee I'm glad your test was negative! Yay! I was thinking the other day that 2-3 years ago we would have called these symptoms "just that time of year." My MIL has a sinus infection and her covid test results were negative, but as Kim said, symptoms can be very much like "that time of year" junk. Kim glad your hubby's results were negative.
I'm going to pass on Cathe's virtual RT. Anyone (Cataddict or Horusosiris) did you do CL today? I liked it because I like using toys. It didn't seem as hard as some of her other bootcamp workouts, but it was still a good, solid workout. And it went quickly since there was a ton of different moves. Hugs and waves all around! |
