Lets Post our Daily Exercise

hbcheryl, i love walking around 7pm or so around my neigborhood looking at christmas decorations.  but too bad there were no singing or giving out any candy. LOL   In the afternoon went to Target and Tilly's .....in the evening walked only 30 mins.

Marple - stupid LE!!  I hear you on avoiding the plank - I'm finally comfortable trying it now, but that's after a few years of gradually building up my upper body and arm strength. (I have arm and truncal LE.)  I still avoid yoga poses like downward dog.  Blessings - never heard of the Round Animal videos - what a hoot! Hope you're on the mend soon - so annoying to get a cold this time of year.   LOL on the yoga farts, everyone.  As we settle into every yoga class, one of my instructors always asks us to silently set an intention for the upcoming class.  There have been more than a few times when my intention is to please let me get through this class without farting!    Ruth - what fun to see your neighbor's child become a grown woman.  Annie - so sorry about the one DGD being sick, but it sounds like you still carved out your special time with her.  

Crazy weather lately!  Last Sunday when I did my run it was 30 degrees and FREEZING!!  Yesterday it was 65 degrees and humid as heck - not comfy at all.  But did my 4 miles anyway.  Power90 Sculpt this morning, plus 100 second plank.  I took a couple of days off from the plank challenge and I think the rest did some good as it didn't get ugly till the last few seconds this morning.  DH got his arm cast changed out this morning - he had a bright red one before, and just to be different, he elected a kelly green one this morning, so it's still a cheerful seasonal color.  He's in this one for two more weeks. 

Was MIA over the weekend as we have been enjoying holiday festivities. Spent 10 hours walking the mall shopping on Sunday and must have covered several miles, course I forgot to set my pedometer.....

Hit the gym today for 30 minutes on the Elliptical plus weights as I too have been partaking in the sweet treats lately. 

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. May the magic of the season stay with each and everyone all year long. 

35 mins walking with the kids.  Merry Christmas to you all lovely ladies!!!!

We got at least 8"  or more of snow starting late yesterday afternoon.  Very light, fluffy stuff with no wind so it really piled up.  If Santa's elves don't snow blow my driveway before I get home from work at noon I foresee some shoveling exercise for me this afternoon.  DH and girlfriend drove in from mid-Michigan (Mt Pleasant) in time for dinner but they did not have a good drive.  Glad they made it safe and sound.  I was up early (damn grand-dogs) so had time to shovel the porch and a path to everyone's cars before work, plus brushed the snow off DH's car and his girlfriend's car. My car was in the garage, PTL!

Everyone have a wonderful, blessed Christmas!

Cheryl - I'd say you got a great Christmas present from your onc!  What a great way to start 2014 being letrozole-free!  Dulci - stay warm!!  Those ice storms can be miserable.  Beautiful to look at, but treacherous to be in.  Hope you get power back soon. 

Happy Birthday to Me today!  I gave myself a present and turned off the alarm and slept in an extra hour instead of working out.  I know, Bad Mary, but if you can't sleep in on your birthday, when can you??  I'm 58 today - hard to believe as in my mind I'm still somewhere in my 30's.  Although there are some days when I feel like I'm 85!   [edited to add - I just remembered - 6 years ago I had my biopsy today - let's just say I've had better birthdays than that day!   ]

DH bought tix to a local theatre's one-man show of "A Christmas Carol" for tonight to celebrate my birthday. We saw it a few years ago and it was wonderful.  Dickens himself used to go around doing one-man performances of A Christmas Carol, and this actor bases his show on that, using only original words from the book.  It's a magical event.  

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone!!

Happy Birthday, Mary!!!

Congratulations, Cheryl!!

Stay safe and warm to all us stormy-parts-of-the-country ladies!

Happy Birthday Mary and wishing you a terrific day!

Dulic stay warm and cozy and good news indeed Cheryl!

Got to the gym this morning for body balance

Have a lovely Christmas Eve wonderful, fit, beautiful women!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!  Had a lovely day poking around Seattle and drinking some wine during the afternoon.  Staying up to hit Midnight Mass in an hour or so.  Got in a run today, and then at least 3 miles of walking. 

Ready to celebrate!!! - Claire

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Here is my Christmas Eve selfie...the house got down to 40 degrees. We've borrowed kerosene heaters (which give me headaches) but we're up to 50 in the living room now! I'm enjoying my kids being forced to stay out here with me. Lol. 

Oops! It's sideways. But you get the idea. My nose was cold. Ha!!!

Catalina Island in the background

The pier in the distance

Yay, Dulci! You were a cute Christmas elf, though.

I did way too many reps of fork lifting today, but I did go for a walk with DH and the dogs. Now I plan to do a few reps of wine glass lifting. Cheers!

Oooo - beautiful pix, Cheryl!  That beach looks so inviting!  Dulci - hooray for power!  Sweet- I bet you're going to love your Fitbit - I have a Fuelband (Nike's version of a Fitbit product) and I love it.  

I had a great birthday Christmas Eve- "A Christmas Carol" was wonderful.  Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

For those who celebrate Christmas, hope it was a good one.  And for those who don't, I hope you had a good day off.  We had a great low-key day of relaxing, topped off with a good Christmas dinner and wine.  I did manage to get out for a 4 mile run before all the feasting.  More crazy weather - it was 65 degrees Sunday when I did my run; yesterday it was 21 degrees!  But it was a crisp clear day with bright sunshine and beautiful winter blue skies, and I'd much rather run in the cold than in the heat. The park was almost completely empty - usually the trails are very popular, but yesterday I think I saw maybe 6 people the whole run.  But I did see tons of robins (!) and some cardinals - the males were magnificent in the sun - the red was so brilliant against the bright blue sky.  Then just at the end of the run, two beautiful deer walked by - so elegant and lovely.  

Now back to working off all those calories.   Power90 Sculpt today, plus 100 second plank. 

Good to read a relaxing day for all.  Cheryl,  looking at your photos makes meI homesick for nutty so cal.  DH ate a sparrows portion of christmas lunch, a wee, tiny bit of turkey, thimble size of 3 veg mash, 1 small brussel sprout and a tablespoon of stuffing but hey, he made his short term goal of eating lunch with us, so good on him and almost forgot, he drank a half cup of tepid tea and that really quacked his duck.  Got a ham in coca cola (Nigella recipe) baking in the oven and going to put potatoes dauphinoise to bake as well for Boxing Day dinner.

Happy to report I ran a 3k today 

It was sunny and really was restless to get out and blow out the cobwebs  We have had storms for the past 4 days and the road was flooded out in one part so I ran through two sheep pastures to bypass the road (flooded up and over the roadside verge) freaking the sheep out. I'll get to a couple of classes at the gym tomorrow morning.

I hate that Diet by Dental Problems Plan!

Thank you for the beautiful pictures, Cheryl....California Dreaming!

Lilac, glad your DH got to sample some yummy food.

My company has now come & gone. We really had a great, too short, time. My niece & I did make it over to the YMCA on Tuesday before the eating frenzy began, but the rest of the time was food, food, and more food (seriously, I gained 5 pounds in 2 days ).

This morning I took in all the recycling, FINALLY ordered my Christmas cards (oh well, better late than never, right?), and in a few minutes I will wrestle the cats into carriers and bring them to the vet for their annual shots (not, not, not fun), and THEN I will exercise. Does anyone me to send them some leftovers?
