Hi Ladies! Thursday's workouts were power yoga and walking. I forgot to tell you the other day that DH fixed our dryer! The issue was the heating coil. The wind has been relentless tonight. It's been worse than last night. Scary! We actually got a little bit of rain on Wednesday night and tonight we got a few snowflakes! I…

Hi Ladies! I had my GI appointment and based on what I told the nurse; she is sending me for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I might as well get both procedures done at once. It's been six years since I had an endoscopy and three since I had a colonoscopy. Not fun procedures, but I need to know what's going on with my gut. My…

Hi Ladies! Tuesday's workouts were walking and Yin. I've been struggling with digestive issues lately and feeling like I hate food and today was just my worst day, which made me realize it's my silent GERD (no burning). I think my med has stopped working. I finally called my GI doctor's office to set up an appointment. My…

Hi Ladies! Monday's workouts were walking, power yoga and CG Iron Day 15 - Full Body. Laurie, good idea to stop working out while your body heals. I'm sorry it is so painful when you lay down at night. Hopefully, you'll be able to take short walks soon. Chalene is a little bit obssessed with staying young and living…

Hi Ladies! What a weekend! We are thankful the storm didn't hit us hard. We had thunderstorms, wind and some rain, but no tornados. We were under tornado warning from 8PM Saturday night till 2AM Sunday morning. I spent the entire night watching the weather guy I posted a link for last week. He goes by Max Velocity. He is…

Hi Ladies! We had a thunderstorm system in the are are during the afternoon, which produced heavy rain and hail. The rain lasted for about one hour. It was good soaking rain! My workouts were walking and yoga. Laurie, I'm sorry you are feeling the injuries from that fall. Good idea to stretch and take pain meds. Sorry your…

Hi ladies, it looks like this storm is going to hit a good part of the country. This is a good weather guy to follow. https://youtu.be/blZN5v4dMPE?si=_cR3VyMkv2LtGgNS

Hi Ladies! Wednesday's workouts were walking and CG Iron Day 11 - Triceps and Back. CG kills the triceps with a dumbbell series, then moves on to dips. My triceps were fried, and I just couldn't do the dips! I didn't feel that my exhausted triceps could support me, so I did some kickbacks and resistance cable pulldowns.…

Hi Ladies! My workouts on Tuesday were walking and Tracy Steen Abs. DH might be retiring next month due to another trip to Boston just for a Sr staff meeting. Who knows if his boss will want to force him to go. His former boss never made him go to those meetings. There's a controlled burn going on in TN on a 75-acre area.…

Hi Ladies! I did lose my post! Bummer! We had a nice weekend. My workouts on Friday were Gentle Flow, Barre sculpting and walking. Saturday - walking. Sunday - walking and CG iron Day 10 - Biceps and Back. Monday - walking, Warm Yinyasa and CG Iron Day 11 - Legs. Laurie, great workouts! I'm glad you had a nice weekend!…

Hi Ladies! I got two hours of sleep on Wednesday, so I skipped lifting. I walked and did a Tracy Steen mobility workout. Laurie, great workouts! I can't believe Easter is late this year! My cat is doing better. We took the dogs for their physicals and the vet told us Gigi has another UTI. The vet said female cats and dogs…

Hi Ladies! Wednesday's workouts were walking and CG Iron Day-9 Total Body. Thankfully, we survived the storm damage free. We are still under a wind advisory through Thursday at 10AM. We only got about .3" of rain. Laurie, great workouts!! I can't believe Wednesday was Ash Wednesday already! Is it early this year? I love…

Hi Ladies! Tuesday's workouts were walking, Yin and CG Abs. The storm is pretty bad. The wind is scary strong. I can't even begin to imagine the damage it's causing. We are getting rain and I'm thankful for that. Our walls are mostly glass and the rain is hitting the glass pretty hard even though we have a wraparound…

Hi Ladies! Monday's workouts were walking, power yoga and CG Iron Day 8 - Glutes and Hamstrings. DH was able to fix the oven. I'm back in business! The storm we're expecting Tuesday night is supposed to give us 1-1.5" of rain. Laurie, great workouts! I'm OK with our stove, but it sure would be nice to get one with air…

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was good but incredibly busy. It got cold here again. We're getting hit by two cold fronts this week. Our oven died Friday night as I was taking out the bread that had just finished baking. The power went off on the stove and microwave above when I opened the door to get the…

Hi Ladies! My workouts on Wednesday were walking and CG Abs. Laurie, great job getting a workout in before work! I bet your DD's kitchen looks beautiful. It must be a relief to have it done before the baby arrives. It is true that you don't use momentum while sitting. Your sister must have quite a collection of sewing…

Hi Ladies! My workouts on Wednesday were walking and CG Iron Day 7 - Shoulders and Triceps. CG does the shoulder and Arnold presses sitting on a chair. I need to do this all the time because I'm able to lift heavier weights. Laurie, great workouts! Clearly your mom and your sister were prepared for your visit! LOL. How…

Hi Ladies! Tuesday's workouts were walking, Yin and CG Iron - Day 6-Quads. This quads workout should've been called The Bulgarian. There were a lot of Bulgarian sets! The kitty with the UTI is doing much better. My other female cat vomited blood the other morning so I'm taking her to the vet on Thursday. We're under high…

Hi Ladies! Monday didn't go as planned at all. One of my female cats has another UTI. We spent the afternoon was spent at the vet's. I had a headache and my eyeballs hurt by the time we got home. Needless to say, I didn't feel like lifting weights, so I did a Gina B Low Impact workout. Laurel, great workouts! We hit 66…

Hi ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was good and not as busy for a change. My workouts on Friday were Gentle flow yoga and Barre Flow. Saturday - walking. Sunday - walking and Tracy Steen Low Impact Hiit with baby weights. The weather was pretty good. Saturday was cold and cloudy. It looked like it was about to…

Hi Ladies! It is very cold here. I never wore a hat in Boston, but I'm wearing one here! LOL. I've never been so thankful to have a down coat. Next week will much warmer during the daytime, BUT the weather guy says that the polar vortex will send us more arctic air in March! NOOOOOO! My workouts on Thursday were walking,…

Hi Ladies! On Wednesday morning we woke up to about 1/2" of the white stuff. It was very airy, wet snow. It melted during the day. We got a little rain, but not the amount we were expecting. Thursday will be a very cold day. My workouts on Wednesday were walking, and CG Glutes. Laurie, great workouts!! We also hope the new…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were walking and Yin. The new Yin instructor worked on our hips and toes. My hips haven't felt this good in like EVER! I think it was the killer frog pose that did it. We hadn't done the frog pose in a very long time. Rain is due to start early Wednesday morning, and it may run over to…

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend! Ours was good and a little scary because we were under tornado warnings. The wind was blowing like crazy! The cold temps are back, but because there's no wind and is sunny, it doesn't feel too cold during the day. My workouts on Friday were yoga and Barre Sculpting. Saturday -…

Hi Ladies! Happy Valentine's Day! DH and I had a great time at the restaurant last night. It was a beautiful, romantic set up where we were seated. The food was delicious, and portions were quite generous. No doubt we got an amazing deal. I already told him we're going back for my birthday. LOL I had a great workout day. I…

Hi Ladies! I felt much better on Wednesday. I think it's because it wasn't damp and cold anymore. The rain was pretty relentless Tuesday and Wednesday night. As of mid afternoon on Wednesday we'd gotten 1.4 inches of rain. We might have 2 inches by morning. It's rained so much that I can't believe the rain gauge only…

Hi Ladies! The weather has been cold, wet and damp around here, and it hasn't been good for my bones. It's made me feel my rheumatoid arthritis big time, so I took it easy with my workouts, walking, Yin and abs. We are getting a lot of rain tonight, so I can see how flooding is possible. s of Tuesday afternoon we had been…

Hi Ladies! Monday's workouts were walking, power yoga and CG Iron Day 2-Upper Body. I am really loving the Iron workouts. We're under flood watch from Tuesday night through Thursday morning. I don't see how we are under flood watch because it doesn't look like there will be a lot of rain according to three weather apps.…

Hi Ladies! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was incredibly busy, but it was good. My workouts on Friday were walking, yoga and barre flow. I can't tell how much fun we had with the new barre class. The instructor turned it into a bootcamp style flow, and it was nothing like the barre we're used to. This was a full body…
