Body balance this afternoon and freestyle step tonight.

Gym closed early today and isn't opening until 7:30am tomorrow so no walk/jog for me in the morning. My tentative plan is to still get up early and pop a P90X dvd in - there are several that I've never tried and I figure God wants me to give it a whirl!

Great background on 'Hell', Dulci!
They cancelled school here today, and other things too, including exercise classes at the YMCA (happy about the first, bummed about the second). Back downstairs to the treadmill, Pliates Challenge, and Cardio Dance Party.

Cheryl , hope your foot feels better soon. Heidi, fingers crossed for you. Love the picture Ruth as well as the story of "Hell". Agree with Mary that while it is ridiculously cold here, we have nothing on ND or WI so I will refrain from whining about the weather. Hope hubby makes progress by leaps and bounds Mary.
Went to the gym after work today for 30 minutes on the Elliptical plus weights.

Heidi fingers. toes and eyes crossed for you and also a (((hug))) Mary I think you may have hit on a grand idea ... I should get a cast put around my belly, when it comes off on six weeks perhaps it would be smaller
all kidding aside I hope his PT goes well, tell Mark that I've heard that shoveling snow is very good PT 
Nihahi the pictures didn't post, I don't know what's going on but if I post from my ipad they come in sideways too, strange. Dulci I've never heard of corn dog casserole but mmmm sounds really good to me. Loved the Hell picture and story, too funny. Thanks for all the well wishes I ice'd and hot packed my foot and took ibuprofen and this morning it was much better and miraculously when I started dancing in Sh'bam it didn't bother me at al, I was shocked!!!!So as I say this morning I dd Sh'bam and tonight did a Body Pump class and then I went for a massage ahhhhh I feel floppy........
Everyone vortexing I hope you are all safe and warm

Great pix Claire, LOL at Hell freezing over, and Ruth new avatar!
Got my fingers crossed for you, HeidiHill.
Mary, hope your hubby heals fast.
Cheryl, glad your foot is feeling better.
It's so cold here that schools were cx yesterday and again today. City didn't pick up trash yesterday. Thankful for people who have to work outside, doing critical jobs like fixing water main breaks.
Sorry to say no exercise yesterday, came home and DH had supper ready. We ate and I crashed on the couch. Date night tonight!

hbcheryl - I'm jealous.......I soooooo miss Body Pump! I was a faithful 3x a week Body Pumper and then my gym quit doing the class for lack of participation. That class kept me so nicely toned and as buff as possible at my age! I haven't found anything to replace it that works with my schedule

Got to body balance this morning. Too much rain and wind to have a decent run.

I need an ice-covered, teeth chattering emoticon.
VERY thankful we have not lost power!!!

Ruth & Dulci - Love the Hell pic and backstory. Heidi - 5 sticks to get the needle in - how awful! That happened to me at my last colonoscopy - after 5 sticks I was in tears, and they also had to call the anesthesiologist to put in the needle. A few blood draws ago a tech had trouble, so she took a towel and soaked it in warm water, then wrapped around my elbow. Voila - a few minutes later she was able to hit a vein. Seeing that, I bought some of those hand warmer packets. Now, about half an hour before a blood draw, I'll activate the packet and put it on the inside of my elbow, securing it with an ace bandage. By the time they're ready to do the draw, the veins there have warmed and expanded and are much easier for the tech to hit. Hoping for great results on the scan. Cheryl - glad the foot is doing better - take care of it!
3 degrees here - Mikey is NOT happy about this turn of events at all. Fortunately he will use papers in times of emergency. Pilates DVD this morning, and I brought workout clothes to hit the treadmill tonight. Haven't planked for a week or so and tried this morning - I'd been up to 100 seconds, but barely made 60 today. Geez, you lose it fast!

Did the treadmill. Uninspiring but happy I did it.

I was off today and wanted to make the most of it. I went to WW for my monthly weigh-in, then went and bought some new running shoes. DH and I walked the dogs and I jogged for about another mile. Then it was nice to go to the gym without any time constraints. I usually go on my lunch break. I did upper and lower body weight training, spent a leisurely 20 minutes on the elliptical while reading a book on my kindle, then did some stretching in the jacuzzi, where it was much easier to work on my painful right shoulder's range of motion.
It's still cold for us here, but no complaints. I am ever mindful of my daughter, son-in-law and three little grandchildren in Iowa and my brother and his family in Nebraska.

It was sunny and a balmy -2 today. Nothing was cancelled so I happily went off to my YMCA Core and Pilates classes, which felt great (the pilates teacher just got back from spending a couple weeks in Hawaii and brought us all sand dollar necklaces, so sweet of her!).
The rest of the day has been spent undecorating the house....that is depressing, everything looks so BLAH when the decorations and lights are put away.....

45 minutes of yoga and some core stuff today. Surgery tomorrow, so other than some yoga, probably not much else. OR time isn't until 3:25pm, but have to be npo after midnight tonight....I'll have the energy of a slug tomorrow!!!!

Yes please come join us, we are a fun bunch
Best wishes for tomorrow Nihahi. S&S Beachbody sells an at home version of Body Pump it's called Les Mills Pump but it's danged expensive because not only do you get the DVDs but you get the bar and all the weights too, and my Sh'bam instructor Jericho is a featured prominently in them, oh and today I am really feeling my legs - all those squats and lunges!!! Mary you'll build back up but isn't it amazing how quickly you 'lose' it. Ruth I put away all my decorations on Sunday and yes it's depressingly boring now in the living room, I think I should redecorate in red it was so festive with garland and poinsettias everywhere.Tonight did Body Step class, I don't know about everyone else's gym but mine is crowded and lots of new people in class tonight it was great.

Helppppp! I just came across a thread titled: Beware: Athletes who choose reconstruction may regret it. The discussion is focused on the inability to return to previous levels of athletic ability after reconstruction using tissue expanders because of the changes to the pectoral muscles. As a runner and moderate weight lifter this really frightened me. If there is anyone here who has had the same surgery and has resumed their physical activity without impairment please post. I need the reassurance. I am hoping the complications are more the exception than the rule. Dulcigirl - Come through for me again!

Nihahi - good luck - check in when you can to let us know how you are - we'll all be thinking of you.
Yes, come to California for sun, fun, and Sculpted Sisters! As Cheryl and Ruth say, we are a fun bunch - it's always great to meet other Sculpted Sisters in real life!
I also took down the decorations inside this weekend, but the lamppost is still wrapped with garland and lights - I am NOT going out there in sub-freezing weather to take down those decorations!
30 minutes running on the dreadmill last night, and 30 minutes elliptical this morning.

Warrior,
I do not do a lot of upper body. And each of us has a different experience. So this is just me! It took me a good long while after my first exchange. I hated the way the pec muscles felt when doing moves like closing the back hatch on our mini SUV. For a variety of reasons I had a revision to smaller implants. (You can read my drama on the pic forum if you are super bored and need something to put you to sleep...) They have made me feel more comfortable physically and emotionally. I feel now (3 months out) that I am back to being me. My arms are not as strong as they used to be, yet, but I feel capable of doing everything I did before. I do not know how rockclimbers, etc. might be affected. Because of shoulder/hand issues I have not done pushups, etc in years anyway. I am just starting to use some resistence bands for arm work. There are some motions that still feel a bit odd because of the muscle squeezing the implant, but it does not hurt.
I hope that helps a bit!

Yes, thanks Dulci.

Love the Hell stories. Twohobbies, LOL on trying to remember the things you'll do. Good luck tomorrow, nihahi! Thanks for the tip, Mary, and to all for the finger workouts!
They found a benign vascular tumor on my kidney and I will need to have it surgically fixed it seems. The tumor board will get to deliberate on it this week, so will know more next week. Now my at risk arm is swelling. but my doctor says it should "wash away" in a few days. It meaning the contrast agent, I guess. I'm really glad I remembered to tell them not to stick me in that arm or it could be worse.
It was a sub for Zumba last night and it was not the same. But I still broke a sweat.
I'll have to look into that California meet-up. Sounds like so much fun! Plus I have a cousin I can visit in Napa Valley.

Yeah Heidi sorry you have to have the surgery but 'benign' is the the loveliest word you can hear at a doctors appointment. Yes please look into coming I'll come to LAX to pick you up and I'll even get you to a Jam class
