Congratulations on the new baby,Bopper!! So exciting. What's her name? Bet she's beautiful.

Rainy windy chilly here today. Angie and I did do a couple of miles in the woods yesterday. Gazelle and some light hand weights today.

Hi to everyone!

Hi everyone! Thank you all for the Baby Congratulations! She is beautiful. Her name is Maddie Nicole and she's precious...Grandma is in love with her! Nothing like a brand new baby to make you feel on a cloud!

This morning I did 10 miles on the Xbike and did the trail with Logan before our big snow storm moves in this afternoon. They said 10 inches tonight and 4-6 tomorrow so my trail will be all covered up and it will be hard going on the snowshoes to break it. Glad I did it today.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Be Blessed, Be Well, and Be Thankful!

Bopper, congratulatoons! I bet little Maddie is just a doll. Is Olivia happy to have a sister? So happy for you and your family.

Hi, NoTan, I hope your doing well.

We're snowed in here. Lots of snow this morning and most businesses planned to close today. I think that was smart, as conditions this morning were terrible. It's not bad now, though. I'm just laying low at home, enjoying the day off and reading.

I thought ght about doing Jcore today, but I haven't done it yet and thinking about it doesn't count.

Team Ninja is on tonight. I think Brent's team might be on. Hope so. I hope Kacy is on his team too.

Hi Everyone!

bopper- congratulations on your grandaughter!

Nomless- I'm glad you got your new job. I have no doubt that you will do great!

Patty- glad you are having a calm time.

Laura- you do crack me up!

No tan -Hi!

cater- good to see you.

Skylark- stay warm.

It has been such a quiet winter here, it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. We got none of the big storm last week. There is no snow in my yard.Yesterday was 60 degrees. A year ago we were on our third blizzard in less than three weeks and heading to beat the record for snow fall in a winter.

No major workouts, still puttering along and still flunking but I did go for a really long walk yesterday.

Keep at it, you guys! I am definitely a better cheerleader than team mate!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

bopper — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 16:10:54 GMT

Hey all, well we didn't get as much snow as they predicted. About 5 inches here but it is very heavy. My cardio was snowshoeing the trail which was kind of hard but beautiful. Then got back and shoveled off the deck and the walk. Hubby can snow blow when he gets home tonight.

Tony glad to see you and we will always appreciate a cheer leader! I can't believe you have no snow in the yard, seriously. We won't see grass until Mid May!

Nomless your day off at home sounds nice and peaceful. Olivia is very happy! Thank you

Notan, love seeing you here, thank you so much! She is a doll!

Not much else going on here....Enjoy your day!

Hi, everyone. Happy Wed.

Tony, how nice that ypu',re having an easy winter this year. You deserve a break after the horrendous winter last year.

My town opened today after yesterday's snow storm. Side streets are icy, but main roads are mostly clear. This time the city did a good job clearing the roads. They brought in a lot of private contractors and that helped a lot.

I just learned that Jillian has a reality show on E! I watched 15 min or so of episode 1 OnDemand. It didn't interest me.

My job is going OK. I'm busy all the time which is good. But there might be too much work for my 24 hours a week. I'll get faster as I figure things out, but my boss and I may have to rethink the tasks ... Are they all really necessary?

I'm not sleeping well, though. I keep having stressful dreams about not being able to do things I'm trying to do. A direct result of the new job, I'm sure. LOL. Tired, though.

Bopper, is Maddie home yet? I hope she's doing well.

Time for dinner, and I'll probably watch David tonigjt.

Congratulations bopper! That's a good way to start out the year for sure!

nomless, hopefully you'll get into a grroove. That was the only thing I didn't like about working part-time, it always turned into full-time work that I had to accomplish in part-time hours...lol.

tony, yes, after that horrendous winter you guys had last year, this is a nice break. No, it has not been 'calm' here...lol. Anthing but!

Skylark, glad you're feeling better. We've been up and down by 40* from one day to the next so the allergies, sinuses, and colds are in full swing here.

I started physical therapy yesterday for my neck, the pt was really nice and seems very competent. Hope it helps. I go back to Neurologist on the 10th. DS has been a little better this past week. One of their dogs is sick so my dil is taking off work today, he has a vet appt this morning. I'm worried about him now.

Still don't have a car....mine is in shop(yes, still from when they wrecked it) and we haven't bought a new one. It's been one fiasco after another. Think we found one though so hopefully we can cross one thing off our list.

I biked yesterday and the wind wasn't too bad when I left, but oh my word...it was over 40 mph at times on the way home. I felt like I was standing still at times!

Tomorrow is my pre-inspection(will be cleaning most of the day) and the insurance adjuster is coming to look at the damaged furniture from the leak/flood. It's getting down to crunch-time and we've been so busy with trying to buy a new car, we're behind the 8-ball.

Waving to Laura, cater, and anyone I've missed!

Happy Friday Eve everyone! We had more fresh snow last night, and it's very pretty...and prettier when the blue sky showed up and the sun, which we have lacked for so long...It really does a body good to see some sunshine on these winter dreary days.

I walked the neighborhood this morning and then started cleaning. Walked Logan around the block, and just finished snow blowing the driveway and the backyard where my birdfeeders are. Hubby will be happy he doesn't have to do that when he gets home from work.

Patty I hate biking in wind, and sometimes you start out and it's fine and all of a sudden it's like "what happened"...the wind starts...yes you do feel like your standing still. I hope the dog is alright, let us know and hope the inspection goes good too.

Nomless it's almost the weekend, hope you can enjoy some quiet time.

Waving to everyone!

Laura14 — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:13:14 GMT

All set to do my Pound class after work today. I plan to be in the front of the room so that no rude late people crowd my space again. I just don't get that. If you are late to a class, take the open spot up front. The people in the rest of the room are already using their space. Plus, I'm armed with two sticks. Not a good move, chicken.

Can you tell I need to destress? It's been quite a week. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and stays warm and happy.

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

bopper — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:58:52 GMT

Happy Friday, it's sunny here again and blue skies on white fresh snow. Walked the neighborhood this morning with Logan and the trail this afternoon with him. Then did 30 minutes with the BodyGym....

Neighbor is in Hawaii and I was looking at their photo's, so nice ...looks beautiful. I'll never know hahaha

Laura, that is rude for people that are late to do that. I'd be irritated too.

Nomless sorry the job is stressful at the moment...You'll get it down...I watched Jillian on E too twice, it's not that good seriously..

Patty hope your having a good day, you deserve one!

Cater, Tony, skylark, and everyone joining in, Be well, Be Blessed and Be Thankful!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:02:59 GMT

Well, thank goodness I was bored at work and just checked the gym's facebook site. They replaced my Pound class with something completely different. Really? This is just not my week!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

nomless — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:02:44 GMT

Laura, bummer that they're not having the pound class you were looking forward to. I hope you have fun anyway.

Patty, good news about DS. I hope his dog is OK. Good wishes, too, about the car, inspection, PT, and just everything.

Hi, Bopper, enjoy your day. You, too, Skylark.

I had lunch with a friend today, then did errands. Now it's time for a nap. It's cold and snowing, killing my motivation to go over to the workout room.

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

bopper — Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:31:57 GMT

Happy Saturday! Not much going on here, Hubby worked this morning, snow we're just doing stuff around the house...pretty quiet day. Sun was out earlier, now all clouds but it's in the mid 30's.

Tomorrow morning we are taking my dad to a Super bowl pancake breakfast so he's looking forward to that.

Laura to bad they changed you glass on you without saying anything! Is it a class they discontinued, your Pound class?

Nomless it's hard to get motivated in the cold...I hear ya! So ready for Spring...

Waving to all!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 00:41:40 GMT

They better have not changed it forever. They just started it and class is always full. They replaced it with a pilates barre class which does not appeal to me. It's the only full hour pound class I can get to. The others are during work hours. I'm guessing the teacher was sick. At least I hope it's a one time thing. I was beyond disappointed. I really needed to hit something!
