@Mmsfoxxie  You go girl!  No guilt!  I'm about to match you.  

So I am sitting at work and my tracker finally ran low on the battery after almost two weeks.  I pulled off one of the bands and it is now charging in my USB drive.  

Could never do that with Fitbit! And I am not getting up from my desk without my steps not counting so I am sitting right here.  LOL

Hello, it's a busy day finalizing packing for me, when I have stuff like this on m mind I can't workout, I can't concentrate enough...not sure what exactly gets into me, I do have my 10,000 steps in though but not TG, like I said I couldn't concentrate.  I watched the funeral of President Bush and it was really good and great speakers.

Dads dinner last night went off without a hitch and he really enjoyed it, I was good and had salmon and salad but I did drink 2 beers  LOL...oh well....

Heading out tomorrow morning, saying Good bye to my Logan with a tear in my eye but will be home before we know it again.  At least the weather will be sunny and 50.  

Watching some Christmas movies now and trying to relax and not over think.

Be well everyone, if I can check in i will but if I"m not here keep it rolling along and I"ll be back on Tuesday!!!  

Adios!

Good morning, all.  Have a great trip @bopper.  Soon your worries will turn into enjoyment!

I have a Zumba Tone class this morning and then some grocery shopping to do.  Then back home for some housework, blah.

Have a beautiful day, everyone!

Morning everyone, we'll soon be out the door, wanted to check in for a last time first.  Woke to fresh snow and school closings.  I hope the roads aren't too bad, we're driving today and catching a plane tomorrow.

Ya'all stay well and enjoy your week!

Went to Power this morning which was a little light.  Had the front to myself for the most part.  I guess the cold weather is getting to everyone.  

Adonis was there but he got kicked out of his usual spot and wasn't happy about it.  For some reason the regulars are just booting other regulars out of where they like to be.  I don't get it.  I know no one's name is on the floor but if you know someone has set up there for years, why would you not just be respectful and pick another place if you want to move?  I did it and made sure it was an open spot and not a regular's.

Anyway, I went up in weight on biceps and did it again.  I am getting stronger and I like it.  I also did a really good job on the ab track so I think I am getting stronger there too.  

I also caught myself in the mirror since I was up front today and I look good!  I have done intermittent fasting since around June of this year when I got my 23 and Me genetic report back and I delved into my fat genes.  It works wonders for me. 

I actually just signed up for a free seminar on it in January.  Maybe they'll teach me something I don't know.  Maybe they won't.  It's free so what the heck? 

No Nudie today and Ms Rudeness and Uncle Vinny have been seriously MIA.  We did get a new person the instructor had us say hello too like this is Romper Room now.  She has the coolest dreds and cloth ribbon in her hair.  Maybe she'll stick with us in the 5am hour.  

Oh and I've been meaning to say this for a while but you know you're way too involved in this thread when you look at your instructor and want @DrKelli to show her how instruction is done and what music to play.  LOL

@JudyL  Hope you are getting through!    Still thinking about you.  

Have a great Thursday all!

Good morning, all!

@Laura14, that was a really nice thing to say.  I hope my own students think that about me!  We will be on the second week of the holiday playlist.  I hope that i have at least as many as I did last week.  It's more fun when you have at least 8 students.  I did get the 'missing' songs loaded and I double checked this morning, so I have a full playlist.  The students will have an option of a 'zumba' song or a holiday song for the song that was missing last week.

Yesterday was yoga and for the first time, I could actually do the forward fold without having to make a ton of adjustments because either I felt like I was suffocating or because I literally could not bend forward enough to get my face on the bolster.  I really enjoyed it.

Our company board meeting was yesterday which means a ****** ton of extra people in the office.  I got a special recognition certificate because our company finished first in sector (meaning against our peer group) in a big survey that is a requirement.  It takes me about a month to fill out the information and one of my co-workers has to fill out part of it and it's just a lot of work.  It's pretty impressive that we finished that well.  It puts a lot of pressure on me for next year though.

After I post this, I need to tear my office apart because I have misplaced notes from an audit that I did a year ago and I really need to get that audit completed before the end of the week.  I'm kind of embarrased it fell through the cracks.

Today of course is zumba and I hope I remember all the choreo.  I didn't do so well last night while practicing and one of the songs (the missing one from last week), I haven't done in a while, so I hope I've gone over it enough that I don't mess it up.

I hope you all have a great day!

So they just added Bootcamp at 5am at my gym on Mondays. 

Today they posted a video as to what that actually is. 

After viewing it, I will not be going to Bootcamp class at 5am on Monday.

@Laura14 yeah, I've heard about those Bootcamp classes.  Even if I was in shape, I'd be like you - no thank you!  HAHA

You and me @JudyL cheerleader section on the bleachers only.

I had to change my plans today so I didn’t get to my Zumba class this morning.  

But on my BEST day, I don’t/can’t  do a bootcamp!  Hecky, no, 😂.  I knew I couldn’t but embarrassed  myself this summer by stepping into one.  I think I lasted 15 minutes.  I was always either a movement behind everybody else or I couldn’t do the movement at all.  Then he had them go to the floor, put their legs back and do a push-up only to get up to do another movement, then quickly back to the floor.  Whew!   

At 71, if I can’t do it now, I never will.  Back when I did a lot of working out in the 1980s, I was Wonder Woman!  I did Jane Fonda, The Firm, Boxing.  Then I got a job outside of the home and quit working out.  Had to run home and cook, then help with kids homework.  

How does that song go?  “Those were the days, my friend, I thought they’d never end, we’d sing and dance forever and a day..........”
