Happy Sunday, I did treadmill and rebounder today and some yard brush junk.  It's very hot and muggy so came inside and watching baseball.

@MickD thank you about Logan I think he is getting better and I'm thinking he twisted it or something.   I hate roots and they are all over the trail and when the fall leaves fall they cover them up and then I have to be so careful.  I hope you feel better.   Cleaning up dog barf is not how you want to start your day.   My dad had a really nice time here.  He told my sisters he had a first class meal and couldn't have had a better meal in any restaurant!   

Not much else here on a lazy Sunday so please take care of yourselfs and each other and we'll see you all tomorrow!

Happy Sunday!!!

@bopper Better than a restaurant....now that's a great compliment!

I am still feeling funky, but Steve and I did a nice trail run

Good morning, group.  Muggy yesterday and more expected today.

No class at my fitness center that I'm interested in on Monday's but if it weren't for the humidity I'd probably go in and walk the perimeter of the gym which is laid out the same as the track upstairs which can't be used because they had to spread out the equipment for social distancing.  I'll do something at home, I guess.  Minor strain on my back is an issue, too.  Not enough to whine about just to be careful.

Let's all try to relax a little bit.  I'm trying to not let seem exterior world issues not get to me too much but it's hard.

Hi everyone!!

I had a good 2 days off (Thurs and Fri) and a weekend in which I did nothing.  My mom went home yesterday and things are back to 'normal'.

Our filming session on Thursday was long and I was exhausted on Friday--so good think I took that day off.  Friday was on location at a major park in Denver.  It was actually pretty cool and we had a little cloud cover, so it wasn't brutally hot.  The show designer wanted to go out for margaritas after, but I knew that no restaurant would seat that big of a group, so my friend and I went home.  I'm kind of glad because I was so tired.  I cannot believe that my dance competition is in 2 weeks.

I've just about got my closet cleaned out (I have to move EVERYTHING).  I got rid of one bag of stuff and will probably have to get rid of about 50% of what is left.  I have a closet designer from Home Depot coming tomorrow to design it.  I'll need to order everything and  then have my friend's kid install it.  It will probably take 2 weeks to get the stuff here and I'm hoping said kid can get it installed the last week of August/1st week of September.  He's in a wedding the week of the 24th and I"m out in Minnesota for work.  Also, my life just got a bit more stress--my favorite dog sitter quit dog sitting.  I hate to have to look for another one.  One of my friends from junior high does it but she's a lot more expensive than my favorite.

I'm hoping to do a LaBlast class today.  It will be weird to not have to go to practice on Tuesday.

Have a magnificent day!!

Hi Everyone!  Didn't do anything over the weekend.  This morning I did 50 minutes of  Body Groove. 

Work is going to be very busy this week so may not be on much.  Take care!

Hey everyone Monday again.    I did Treadmill/ Rebounder using the Oldies music and did some dancing on the rebounder for about 45 minutes interchanging with the treadmill.  Then did The TG 50 Ab crunches and 25 Triceps with the Cables.   Did Rosalie Browns new workout called Single Single Double Double with the cables and loved that so will alternate that with her Go and Hold as that also has lower body in it.   Also did my Pilates.   I just yesterday started a Youtube channel to put my Pilates moves on as my group was asking me.  And I emphasized I was not an instructor and would never pretend to be and that I have never even taken a class but I got the gumption up and did it.  It's a short one but at least it's up and has some "likes" LOL.   

It rained so hard this morning, lots of thunder and sideways rain.  At some point the street lights came on.   I was on the treadmill at the time and if the power had gone out I kid you not I would not have been able to see my feet it was that dark in my basement.

More storms coming as my phone just alerted me. 

@Mmsfoxxie  I agree we have to find that relax space and just "BE"  Lets help each other in this area okay?   It's hard yes it is.  Sometimes I just need to be quiet,, no TV, radio, phone.   Just still.....

Stay safe everyone.   Waving to you all!

Morning, all.  

Boy, did we have a storm yesterday evening!  Extreme winds blew out power in many, many areas.  We had no power for almost eight hours!  The house next door had an extremely loud generator going so sleep was impossible.  Ironically, the storm wasn't too long....but even this morning, ComEd is still trying to restore power to some.  But, although I'm sleepy, I'm thankful.

I think I'll stay in because there are fallen trees and limbs everywhere according to reports, not to mention my fitness center might not have power yet.  Geeze, Mother Nature, we see you, calm down, lol.  I'm going to do walking in the house and call it a day, I think.

Have good day, everyone.

Good morning, all!

@Mmsfoxxie and @bopper , I was so worried about you guys when I heard there were derechos in the midwest.  We had one earlier in the summer and it took down power lines like crazy.  We were lucky in my neighborhood--they got the power restored in about 4 hours.  Some people were without for a couple days. It caused a lot of damage.

Got my LaBlast on yesterday--will have to miss today because I have the closet guy coming at 9 and I have to be on a conference call at 11.  That's okay--I can have some rest this week.

Hope you  are all hanging in there.  Remember to check in for your mental health!!

Happy Tuesday

I did treadmill, rebounder, a little dancing diddy i posted on FB haha and some Total gym and pilates.   Just came in from a doggie walk and now sitting down a spell.

My granddaughter is coming at 5 for a few hours as my son is golfing and DIL is working.  She's a hoot at 4 years old!

Those storms were pretty bad.  It was weird too because in town where my dad lives they hardly had a drop of rain...Us we had torrential rains and winds were very bad.   I don't want to see that again for a while.  Poor logan was so afraid.

Not much else here.   It's sunny and quiet on the home front today.

Hi everyone!

I've been on my 1.5 mile walk this morning and spent about 20 minutes moving stuff out of my closet in preparation for the new closet build out.  the guy ASSURES me that I will have more 'capacity' in the new closet.  I'm rather disgusted about how much I have and I am trying to clean out as I move, but it is hard.  I have a good will pick up scheduled for sept 1, but I don't think my closet will be done by then.  They said 4-6 weeks.  I hope it is sooner than that.

I have a dance lesson at 3:30 today and then my dance instructor is out of town at a competition this weekend.  The match is next week.  I don't feel at all ready.  Plus, we are filming all the dance solos over the next 3 weeks or so and I still need to learn the rest of the Viennese Waltz.  On top of all the match dances.  No wonder I'm exhausted.

Wednesday is noisy at my house--my lawn people come, plus the HOA lawn people are here.  I can't schedule any calls because it is so loud.

I hope you all have a terrific day.
