I started the new year great with a solid January. I exercised Mon-Fri the entire month with weekends off. It worked for me because I’m loving the FitOn app. Thanks Shelley for motivating me and going on this journey with me.
February I need to give nutrition and water more attention. Snacking is still an issue. Have to prep more healthy snacks and drink more water. I guess this is my Leap.

You are doing great, Kathy!
Had Collin Duty this morning then Ronan Duty this afternoon. Heavy clouds, wind and some rain.
Collin is starting to walk...taking three steps then down to a crawl. Sooo cute. When SIL got here to pick him up, they started playing with the Tiny Tots car...Collin was pushing it down the hall...SIL was walking backwards, guiding the car so Collin didn't run into anything. Up and down the hall over and over. So funny! Wish we had taken some pictures...maybe we'll do it again tomorrow and get a pic or two.

Hi Ladies!
At the end of my work trip heading to the airport now. Will be home in 15 hours and I can’t wait!! This was a long trip..:.11 days. Went to Brussels, Berlin and Budapest. First trip in my new role at work.
Eating out for 11 days has been difficult, but I tried my best given the options. Did some great walking throughout the trip and one hotel workout) Opted to sleep in…long days.
Will post some pics from Berlin. The Berlin Wall was powerful.
Looking forward to the reset of my body over the next week!!!

These are pics from the Brandenberg Gate (the here President Bush did the “Mr Gorbachev…tear down that wall” speech, as well as Checkpoint Charley…the US Checkpoint between East and West Berlin. My colleague and friend Eleanor is in the picture. We traveled together.

Great pictures, Karen!! Looks like you had fun.
Still positive...still bummed.
Chris1 -
Friday completed a stretch workout and strength workout along with 30 minutes on recumbent bike.
Welcome home Karen. Love your pictures.
Chris, Bummer about the positive test.
Rest day Saturday.
Going to my Godson’s 10th birthday party Sunday at Top Golf.
Great weekend ladies!
Kathy0 -
Karen so glad you are back. Do you ever wonder if there are still people who could carve stone? I saw the Berlin wall. And was shocked and excited when it came down. As always lovely photos.
Chris yes photos. Still positive? Are those tests expired? So sad.
Kathy high five! You are making such great habits.
Working out was tough today. My internet was awful. Wasted a lot of time trying to get it to work. Finally did at dinner time. And it was a rough workout. 4 super sets followed up with a 60 second muscle fatigue exercise after each set. No burgers though! Then did a stretch.
Went and saw Argyll today. Not a kids show due to violence and language. But a great who done it spy thriller. And a hilarious cat.
Paula you will love the cat.
Shell0 -
Chris - hoping the clear test is coming soon!
Shell - I do wonder whether or not there are still people who can do some of the carvings and other work. It's amazing to see some of these things and wonder first of all how it was done, and if anybody's passing the stand other people.
My jet lag is pretty significant as usual. Yesterday I was up at 1: 30am and today at 2:00. At least a little bit more time each day right?
I watched a really good movie yesterday. Nyad which is a story of the famous swimmer who broke a ton of records and finally conquered swimming from.Cuba to Floroda when she was 62 years old. Really really good movie. Annette Benning and Jodie Foster started in it. The thing I really liked about the movie was her relentless spirit and drive regardless of her age to accomplish what she wanted. If she can do it and swim a hundred plus miles we can do it girls!
I'm continuing to reset myself after being away for so long. Did a really good job with hydration yesterday and did a short walk. Today I do plan to go to the gym and probably yoga this morning. Got the house reset yesterday, paid bills and did food shopping. All the domestic stuff :-)
I believe the weather supposed to be really nice today and sunny so I would like to get outside for sure.
Happy Sunday!
Karen

Karen, tests are getting lighter...again!!! Thank you! Glad you are home.
Shelley, tests are new...ugh...
Hoping tomorrow's line is lighter or not even there!!!
I walked yesterday...5.85 miles in 119 mins to the ruins and back. I was going to walk to the post office today, BUT...the storm arrived...winds are fierce!! Folks put out their garbage cans for pickup tomorrow morning, but the wind is knocking them over and sending them into the middle of the street!!! Trash is flying down the street. Crazy! The rain was hard and sideways! Tomorrow we are supposed to have thunder and lightening, too.
Made soup and read today.
Chris2 -
Chris we were talking about the storm hitting California. Stay safe. We get high winds here. Usually it waits until our can has been emptied. New tests. Well darn I was hoping it was old tests.
Karen there really is no excuse for us not achieving our goals. But us. So let's stop lying to ourselves and make the needed changes. I said it. I feel better for that admission.
My triceps are sore from yesterdays workout. Nice feeling. Cleaned aquariums today. Filters, glass everything. They look great. Even gave the clams shell a good scrub.
Shelley

Shell - Right you are my friend. We know what we need to do. It's just a matter of committing to it and doing it.
I did go to the gym yesterday even though I don't feel great. Did 60 minutes on the elliptical and then a 20 minute peloton walk in class.
Struggling a little bit with the disc in my back. I think it was from carrying my carry-on over my shoulder on this trip. I get pins and needles shooting down my arm through my finger. I had this a few months ago and it went away and now it's back. The only difference is a trip so I think that's it. Probably need to figure out a different bag perhaps a backpack.
I was going to go in the office today but I slept pretty poorly last night so I'm going to work from home. Need to make sure I keep my house up here.
I'm doing a good job regrouping from eating out for 11 days.

Monday morning and I was so ready to get a workout in. I think the weekends off work for me. I did two FitOn workouts… a 20 minute full body stretch and a 20 minute upper body strength. I didn’t know how much my body needed stretching until I started doing them regularly. My first workout is always a stretch at least 10-20 minutes. Stretching has helped my left shoulder issues and my lower back issues. As a whole my body just feels better.
Shelley, you and Karen are both correct. We are our main obstacles and we all know what to do. We all struggle but continue as best we can with positive Covid tests, achey backs and family issues. Ladies I’m so proud of all of us for sticking with it and encouraging each
other. 😍
Going to do my KB abs workout this afternoon as well as 30 minutes on the recumbent.
Have a great week.
Kathy0 -
Karen you might benefit from the stretches here on FitOn. I know Kathy and I are. Pinched nerves causing tingling and pain are awful. Glad you are staying positive.
Kathy I usually do the stretches after the strength. I like to unwind. You are right. We should be proud for all the encouragement we give each other. It has been like having great pen pals without the stamps.
I did the same workouts as Kathy tonight. It was great. The instructors were great. Just all over good workouts. Even had some burpees. And I loved the back and hip stretches.
Shelley0 -
I walked to the post office and back yesterday IN THE RAIN AND WIND!! Ronan told me I had to go and to take an umbrella...I did...good thing, too! 5.60 miles in 115 mins.
My covid test line is much lighter. Pat is negative today, maybe I'll be negative tomorrow...OH, MAN! I hope so.
Chris

Today I completed two FitOn workouts a stretch and an upper body. Also did my kettle bell abs workout and 15 on the recumbent.
Shelley I skipped the Burpees of course. Still a member of the never ever burpees group…right Chris!!! 😜
Kathy0 -
I do believe I forgot to post reply yesterday. I worked the Commissioner meeting last night. Got up early and did a legs workout. It was really good. But tonight I was having trouble with the FitOn app.
Chris you are lucky to have listened to Romans good advice. How is that Vivid test? Hope it is clear. Pat still had Covid this entire time? Wow. Glad he is doing better now.
Kathy them burpees will not hurt you. Walk them back at first.
Off to bed now. Have a great Thursday.
Shelley0 -
Issues with the app yesterday. Only got in an abs workout and recumbent bike. Hopefully things will be better today.
Kathy1 -
NO BURPEES!!! None! That's the rule!
Shelley, Pat caught Covid before I did. This has been a long haul...don't want to do this again. I caught Covid about a week after I got over that horrible cold...ugh!!
Pat is clear of Covid this morning...I still have a light line...maybe tomorrow.
If everything goes well this morning, I want to walk after Collin is picked up. No rain today!!

Thursday a FitOn stretch with emphasis on the hips and an upper body strength workout. Recumbent 30 minutes.

Just got electricity and internet back today - been out since Sunday. Over a million people (California?) without power last week. Public Works, Fire and PGE crews have been all around fixing stuff. Their hard work is very appreciated.
I weighed myself and was pleasantly surprised to be under 250#. It's so easy to lose when I'm in keto but so hard to get on track. It's made more difficult by crippled knees but they're no excuse. Part of the street in front of my house isn't bad, so I'm gonna do short walks back and forth on the level part. Baby steps...
Chris, I hope you're negative soon.
Karen, Welcome home. I've enjoyed watching your travels on FB.
Kathy, You are inspirational.
Shell, Hugs. Adore you...
Paula1 -
Kathy, good workout!
Paula, glad you got everything back. We didn't lose anything up here. Lot of wind and rain, tho!
Both Pat and I tested negative for Covid this morning!!! I am so glad to be over that c@ap!! It bummed me out more than anything else. Four weeks of it was too many!!
Going to walk tomorrow.
Chris1 -
Paula I am very glad you have your power back. I was in Spokane many years ago during the ice storm. It was a lesson in humility. Hopefully you won’t have to ever endure it again
Chris I am doing the happy dance for you
Kathy I think I will download the workouts I plan on doing the next day and see if that allows me to do them even with internet issues. Fingers crossed
Got in 2 short but effective workouts today. And my one spot foxface arrived. Fingers crossed he survives.
Night my friends

Had a good week of self care...lost what I gained from travel (likely a lot of salt TBH)....and now looking to keep working toward my goal ...
Busy weekend.....but want to start it off with some exercise in a bit....
Hope everyone is feeling well this Saturday!
Karen2 -
Shelley, I am dancing with you!! Thank you!!
Beautiful today! 6.23 miles in 127 mins. The wind was cold but by the time I had a mile done, I had to take off my jacket and tie it around my waist!! It was a good walk! I'll get out there tomorrow, too!

I completed 2 FitOn workouts joint mobility stretching and a total body strength. My workout Friday was weak so I decided that I needed to workout either Sat or Sun. It’s been raining here in Georgia a lot and will continue tomorrow.
Have a great week ladies!
Kathy2 -
I got 5.29 miles in 110 mins to the post office and back this morning. There were a lot of folks out walking today. I met a couple of new puppies, too!! It was a nice day today.
Chris1 -
You are all such wonderful friends.
Chris I am so happy for you. About time you got a break. Nice walk
Karen salt really does mess us up. Glad you have it under control. Now to get that workout habit going again
Kathy great workouts. I am starting to track my workouts on paper. It just works better for me
Today’s workouts were great. Circuit workouts. Each ended with a type of cardio strength. I wouldn’t dare say the B word.
