On 1/11/2014 FUTURE said: Hey, all!! Went and saw Lone a Survivor last night. It was amazing, but hard to watch. Patty, tell you husband thank you for his service from me and give him a big hug, too! Same for anyone else with family that served. The story is just crazy, and I held up pretty well until the very, very end. I won't say much, so I don't ruin it for anyone. Woke up with a crazy headache, but popped some Advil and kept rolling. I lifted bis, tris, hams, and glutes today. Didn't have a ton of time, so tried to go a little heavier. Also did spin, of course, and cranked it in there, too. Had to run to two stores afterwards. Hubby and I are going to see a friend later, and we will probably pick up a late lunch. And we need dog food. Supposed to be 60 here today! Sure didn't feel like it earlier, though. Smiley Wink Ok, I need to get after a load of laundry. Hope you all have an awesome day!

Thank you FUTURE. It was very hard for dh to watch, he knew 2 of the ones killed...amongst other reasons I won't get into on a public forum. It was pretty true to life too except dh said the terrain is even rougher than they showed in many of the scenes...not the tree coverage that they had. And to think he has to do it "one more time"...ugh...I have a knot in my stomach.

Morning everyone.

Heading to the Health & Fitness Expo today. They supposedly have all the latest/greatest for you to try out, different crazes and classes that you can participate in. I want to try the kangaroo shoes and try out some new machines.

I think there is a body-building show today too...always fun to see.

Have a great day!

Hey all, not much going on here just football...did some cleaning in the basement and found a pair of workout shoes I don't wear much because they rub my ankle but put them on and ran a mile on the treadmill....

Kind of drizzling here and the snow is really heavy. Would have liked to clean in the garage but it's slushy and nasty in there from melting cars and not much fun to be out there so that will have to wait until Spring when everything dries out. Hubby got a new shop vac for his BD so we can vacuum the cars more easily also but once again will have to wait until Spring to hook it up..it hangs on the wall and has a 32 ft. hose which will be nice.

Pppmint hope you had fun at the Expo, how fun!

Now what is Logan barking at!!

Hi all! I have been doing Jillian and LS. So hopefully, back on track. Rain yesterday but 50, slow cool down this week. Bopper-I like that your area is pretty but not your cold. Patriots won - hoping to play San Diego next week but I doubt it. Looks like it'll be Denver-ick. Not happy that San Francisco won, either- sorry Judy! patty - I agree with future, thank you to husband and all military. Judy, feeling any better? Future-good workout report! Nomless- didn't you have a DVD player problem before? Ripkafan- hope you are at it! Canine-liked your fog excuse! I am gonna save it- foggy outside, can't see to walk, foggy brain -can't figure out what to do, foggy inside- can't see tv/DVD....What do you think? Amyb- welcome! What part of the northeast are you in? I'm in north central Ma. Well, I hope it is not a too tough of a Monday for any of you!

Okay, I am not bragging...really, I'm not...just feeling good because it's been a while. But I was on fire today!!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup} You know I rarely say anything like that because I don't want to sound like I'm full of myself plus I know there are plenty of people much stronger and a lot faster than I am...a dime a dozen, but I felt so good today and it's been a while since I put out like that!!

Even the strength training...we did 1-armed, lean-back pull-ups(kind of a push up but in opposite direction) on the straps, with the other arm we held a dumb-bell and did an over-head press with every pull-up...then lunge/squats with triceps then to rower for all-out 200 meter rows, then run back for another round of weights...that was my favorite set.

Then treadmill was insane. I did 2 all-outs at a 10 then my last one was at 7.5 at 5.5 incline...and this was at the end after he had killed us for 55 minutes! Fun class and I felt good so I feel like I'm coming back after my son's illness...finally.

Don't worry, I am not going to give a blow-by-blow play of every session but today rocked!! LOL! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup} I love this personal trainer too. I'm sure Wednesday they'll be mopping the floor with me but I'll take what I can get.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! Taking the peanut out again, it's too nice to sit in the house. She was such a good girl this morning, she jumped in her kennel by herself...first time eVer! I think that made me feel better too, she seems to be getting into my routine. Of course I had to take her out for her work-out first, but whatever it takes.

Morning, well isn't this cute??? I posted earlier and it's totally gone!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!

Now I'm riled up LOL

I did my treadmill this morning 3 miles of running at various speeds...

Gloomy here and almost raining..we have quite a bit of ice build up on our roof. I don't like to see that..but it's from the ice we had earlier.

Good Job Pppmint...you Rock!!!

Woohoo, Patty, congratulations on your awesome workout! It's fun to hear about it, glad you posted details.

Bopper, you did good, too!

Tony, what a memory you have. Yes, I did have a problem with my DVD player a few months ago, but a cleaning disk fixed it right up. It's working fine now...except with those new dvd's..which I returned.

Hi, Morganjen, welcome! It's always fun to have someone new join in.

Hi to Canine and Future and Judy and all our friends...hope you're having a good day.

My plan is to do cardio tonight.
