Hi everyone!
Another dreary day in paradise. I jokingly say that because in many ways it is paradise - good neighbors, quiet neighborhood, we built the house at the right time and got a lot of comps from the builder. I need to be grateful for these things. I find I can complain about the stupidest things and forget the big picture. Monday Afternoon: Adrienne Reed Power Yoga “Wide Angles” practice - this one had me sore this morning but in a good way. Today’s Workout:
Debbie: No worries – life gets in the way for sure! Glad you were able to get a couple of rides in on Sunday! Pat: Despite your hip trouble, you’re still able to find a way to get a good number of steps! I hope the steroid injection works. Any chance you need a hip replacement? DH’s best friend had both knees and hips replaced before he reached 50 or 55! Talk about worn out machinery… Happy that your niece had a successful workshop! If I lived closer, I would definitely check her classes out! Summer Breeze: It’s been super windy up here – I just saw someone’s empty Amazon box fly down my sidewalk! Thank you on the sofa and loveseat – we’re so excited as we don’t purchase furniture too often. I also ordered a new area rug that will go under the set. I have more moments of NOT getting things in order. Look inside one of my closets and it’s like “is she nuts?” Reminds of a Friends episode where Chandler finds Monica’s locked closet filled top to bottom with all kinds of stuff! That could be me! Donna: Good workouts and always varied! I need a dog to walk. It’s just that when it’s in the single digits or lower, I say no freaking way do I want to go out there to walk a dog! We were looking at the western states (warmer climates) and, sadly, California, NM, AZ, UT and NV all have major water issues. No water, wildfires – not a good fit when one is of a certain age! So, we’re staying put for now which means if we’re going to adopt a puppy, it should be sooner rather than later. Aging is such a weird thing! Sorry to go off on a tangent! Waves to Beth! Hope everyone is having a good day!

Waves to everyone! It looks like you all are also tired of the dreary weather and ready for Spring!
We are all pulling long hours at work, and I'm trying hard to get in my workouts. I had stopped the Firm Maximum Shaping workout around 30ish minutes and remembered how terrible I am with their dance choreography! Oh well, I'll pull in MR this week at some point. Last night I did Hamelin Inch Loss Course 6.7, https://vimeo.com/345547175, and was able to keep up fairly well. Those workouts do burn a lot of calories. It must be the intermittent cardio portions. I'm going to try to finish up tonight with a toning workout but I may just go to bed. Pat, I hope your hip feels better soon. Diane, oh yes, I remember Rachel McLish! She co-wrote a book with Joyce Vedral. I'll have to check that video out. Summer breeze, awesome about your walking. I haven't been out in weeks. Debbie, you sound super busy like me. Donna, nice workouts. I think it helps too when you have to walk the dog.

Hi!
Yesterday I got a nice dog walk in at lunch - it was almost spring-like. Today, so far: Jessica - Feel Good Fusion - Cardio workout - I can't believe this is from 2018. Time is flying. This had a lovely outdoor setting. I am keeping myself busy with Jessica by loosely following her playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...5k_owjNxBPGg1h But for today I didn't want to do the gliding workout, so I substituted another fusion style workout. Gliding is hit or miss with me. I have to be in the mood for it. When I wrap this up I think I will do her Walk Strong 1.0 Phase 2 rotation. I always found Jessica's rotations pretty easy to follow b/c she offers a lot of variety. Summer Breeze - I do have clothes from before my DD was born and from when she was a baby - I need to get rid of them. I don't know why I have them. I don't wear them. She is going to be 20 this year - if I haven't worn it in 20 years....probably time to go. Pat - I had to LOL about the shoulder pad outfits from the '80's. I don't think I have anythng w/ shoulder pads, but we shall see. My closet would be a lot better if I tossed out some stuff. Diane - how is Hello Fresh going? I assume you still have to grocery shop for other necessities, right? How many meals per week are you getting? I have been considering something like that since both DH and I hate grocery shopping....and cooking is hit or miss - have to be in the mood for it. Waves Beth! 90 minutes is a long workout. I generally like 30-45 min at one go and then I'll add something in - a walk, a stretch, etc. later in the day. Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |
