Well, I couldn't make myself work out on this last day of Feb. Was so busy crazy at work again, and had tons of stuff to do around the house. I am ready for February to be over, too. I'm done with it. I've felt like after Christmas would be so much easier, but it's been more busy and wacky. Oh well. Such is life. At least I'm walking a LOT at work!!

Hi everyone! I think I figured out what is causing my insomnia, it's my Allegra. I was wired again last night, how could that be possible after less than 2 hours sleep the night before?! I mean wired, not even that "I'm tired but can't sleep" feeling.

So since I haven't had much sleep, I went to the gym for a Body-pump class...eh. And ran 2 miles and took the dogs for 1 before I left, they wanted to go further but it was only 2* and Lucy was lifting her paws.

Heading out on errands...hope everyone has a great day!

Patty, I like the Body Pump classes I go to, but I've been to some BAD ones. Totally depends on the instructor.

Hi All! I've never liked February and am glad that today it is over! Bopper- are you liking your total gym- keep me posted cos my friend keeps telling me to buy one. Does DS do spring training. so glad it is time! On Daytona- anybody but Jimmie! Future- friends with pedometers say we walk 8 miles in a 12 hour shift. Crazy! Patty- how did DS make out? I am so rooting for him! he deserves credit fighting on and not hiding under his covers. Nomless-yup, March is looking very good! Canine- how are you? I hope a tad less angry! Judy- is the crazy weather affecting you? I have been doing betterbatvworkouts- I have been doing chalean or Kelly Coffey and LS or Rockin body. I have been varying the DVDs. I had stared Jillian but couldn't keep the schedule. I am gonna try this week. (Hoping!) Today had wind chill of 18 below then went up to a true 10. Tomorrow should be in 20's, heat wave! they had predicted a major storm for Sunday night but now say it will be light inland, more on the Cape. That's fine with me, Stay warm, give March a big welcome hug!

Morning everyone! I got 'some' sleep last night but much better than I have been! Can't believe I didn't figure that out sooner but like all my friends say, with everything else going on in my life, it isn't a surprise. But I knew something was different, I was wired!!

tony, he's doing great at the job, they told him he went through an entire weeks worth of training in the first morning and that he's going to be bored. But he's still bleeding a lot more than we had hoped at this point. He has some early hours too, has to be there anywhere from 4:30 to 6 and he worked Wed-Sat, has Sun off and back at 4:30 on Monday morning...ay. Not what his bod needs but he's pushing through.

I'm going to the gym this morning while my dil coaches her soccer team there. I'll either do a class and some weights or just run and do weights.

FUTURE, I've done Body-Pump before, it's okay. I just feel I can get a much better work-out with heavier weights on my own, in a shorter amount of time. But it was a change of pace and about all I was in the mood for after -2 hours of sleep. The lady next to me kept asking me questions about weights, I tried to be nice but I was really trying to get a good work-out in!

I've been walking with Leslie Sansone DVD's since Oct. I now walk 2 miles (30 mintues) each day. I get up and walk first thing in the morning. Then its done for the day.

I wear my pedometer each day and check at the end of the day how many calories, steps and miles I have done.

Re: March Exercise Thread

bopper — Sat, 01 Mar 2014 21:11:06 GMT

I have been doing exercise classes through Fitnessglo.com. I really like it. so many different classes to chose from. I really like it. Cheaper than a gym.

tony14smoke — Sun, 02 Mar 2014 04:47:47 GMT

Hi All- Quiet day today, tho I did LS and chalean. gearing up to maybe start Jillian. Bopper-where is DS, lucky guy! Patty- maybe now that DS has started the job and will have a routine, things will calm down for him. Future-walking is always good! Judy- hoping the weather did not get you! Nomless - are ya having a fun weekend? Hi barbarainnc and want to shop! See ya!

Re: March Exercise Thread

nomless — Sun, 02 Mar 2014 19:20:03 GMT

Hi to all, especially our new posters. We're happy to have you join in. I went to the gym yesterday, but it was too busy. I was going to do a dvd instead but...I didn't. I went today, wanted to do cardio, but felt I should do weights because I haven't done weights for a while. So I did both.....2 sets weights, then 30 min cardio. Boy, inconsistency really shows. It was hard. It's about 5 degrees out, but wow, the birds were singing to beat the band. They seem to think spring is right around the corner. I hope they're right. Hearing them sing cheered me up for a few minutes.

bopper — Sun, 02 Mar 2014 21:10:02 GMT

Hey all, well since Spring refuses to come here I decided to have a picnic in my own kitchen sitting in the sun, sunglasses, lawn chair, and a picnic lunch...so take that Winter

Tony he is in Arizona with Spring training...lucky guy. It was -13 here this morning.

Nomless you did good doing both! I have a ton of birds at my bird feeders...they are almost fighting for perches they are so hungry. Poor things...

want to shop I'll have to check out that site, thanks and welcome.

FUTURE hope you had a good weekend..

Pppmint did you sleep last night? Hoping DS has a good week and that Lucy makes the trip home OK.

Judy are you hanging in there?

Time change next weekend,,must indicate Spring right? We still are going to have single digits through mid week here. It is what it is, so make the best of it.

Have a great day!

That's interesting I just checked it out. Thanks for telling us about it.

I made it home...yay! It was quite the snow-storm for the first hour and 15-minutes...very poor visibility. They're already closing down the Allegheny and Shenandoah Valleys for tomorrow because they get so bad, said they'll get a plow out there when they can and try to open up a path.

All unpacked and first load done. Will do bedsheets and call it a day.

Worked out a lot yesterday and hard...my dil coaches soccer at a gym so I had 1.5 hours to burn there, then it was the calm before the storm so we got some miles in. Last night we had pizza and ice cream for our last night together...lol. I can't remember the last time I had Cherry Garcia. Dh said he could tell I've lost weight...might have to have it more often...lol!

It is always hard saying good-bye, especially when he's still having issues. Wasn't sure I should go but ds said he disrupted our lives long enough and he'd feel bad if I stayed longer. He said if the bleeding doesn't stop, he'll either try another round of steroids or he needs to make a decision about the next step. He's had the Methotrexate before but I think he'd try the Remicade instead...no good choices, all have terrible side-effects.

He told me what I mean to him and some other sappy things that were music to my soul. And held my hand while watching TV, there isn't anything in the world money could buy that even comes close to that.

Anyhoo, we had a lot of fun last night, sure wish we lived closer...so do they. I'm thankful to be home though and get things back in order here.

nomless — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:52:48 GMT

Patty, continued prayers for ds. The relationship you have with himand dil is awsome. Glad you had fun. Iwoke up att 5 am as ususal. I decide to go do a cardio workout, get it out of the way. I went to the gym and it was packed!! Couldn't believe it. Didn't stay, will go tonight. I wish it was easier to find a time to get 'er done.

Re: March Exercise Thread

Iluvlucy — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:43:12 GMT

Thanks nomless, yes, we are very close.

We're in the middle of another snow-storm and the worst is supposed to fall until 11 a.m. Snowin' n blowin'. Fed Govt was called off last night at 7, they never do that! My class was cancelled this morning so it looks like I'll be going out in this, just wish the winds weren't so bad. Lucy will not be happy to be left at home, will have to take her out for a short time when we get back.

She was so happy to wake up with mommy AND daddy in the bed, she went crazy. Then to go potty and have a bunch of snow to play in...she hit the lottery!

Have a good day everyone!!
