Today I did Yoga for Gut Health.

I am so excited that I finished the bulk of the data entry project yesterday at work. Time to get back to normal until the new system goes into effect but that's next year. I can't believe I don't have to go in early anymore or stay late. 

Birthday party tonight for my mom. We are eating Chinese and she asked for triple chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. Luckily I hate that kind of frosting so I may be skipping but we'll see. The cake came out almost too moist but it is what it is. 

At some point, I need to run to the store from work and get candles. May brave Walmart to get some Banza mac and cheese. That's chickpea pasta which I have become addicted too. If you cook it right, it's not that bad. Quick and easy dinner when you just want to be a kid again. Also may grab a new yoga mat there. I really love the Blogilates one Target has but I am not spending $45 on a mat. About $20 is my limit.

I also want to get my tracker out and going. Didn't want to start while chained to a desk because Amazon apparently docks points for being a slug and I want to make a good first impression. 😂 The slaves we've become to tech. Now the computer chip has an opinion about me too. 

Wow, I will shut up now. @JudyL heard about the earthquake and hope you're okay out that way. 

Waving to everyone on this happy Wednesday. I am here to pump you up! 😂 Have a great day!

 Morning! Our weather has been mild except for wind so between the rec center  and being outside, I've kept up with my exercise.

 Hair- I   don't color mine anymore and have changed to going to Great Clips. I never thought I would.. Hair is personal. And I  had a good stylist at an  Aveda salon- After she increased her prices to $80 for a hair cut.. I decided enough is enough.  I got mine cut at Great Clips and  haven't looked back.. They do exactly as I ask which is rare, because  my Aveda stylist always thought she knew more than me.  Which Is true to a point.  I don't have a complicated style.. medium length and it's in a pony tail most of the time.

  Sure, Great Clips and the like can be hit or miss and there are horror stories about them. But also true at more upscale salons. 

Today I plan to get outside in some fashion.. walking or biking. 

 And only thing left to do for Xmas is a few food items.

 Dec. birthdays are celebrated.

Have a good day everyone..

 @Laura14 - interested in your  tracker when you get it going!

@Laura14 - thanks for thinking of me!  The earthquake was up at the northern end of the state and I'm in the middle part of the state so never felt it.  Although the news did say some felt is pretty far south but no one here that I know felt it.  Which is fine by me.  Luckily there was no loss of life or major structural damage that I"ve heard.  6.2 is a good shaker though and definitely one that gets your attention.

@violet runner I will definitely report back. I am anxious to get it going. I am gifting one to my mom tonight so I am sure we'll get it going soon. My sister gets hers New Years Eve next week on her birthday. 

I have been debating cutting my hair. It's grown so long which I honestly like but it's tough to constantly put it up for work. I'm not sure what to do yet. It really looks good shorter and I think I may go ahead and cut it since I don't have the time to work with it. We'll see. 

Off to party. I did get my yoga mat. Shelf price was $19 but it rang for $22.  It's really nice and has alignment lines to help you. I think I am fine but every bit helps and it's a really nice one. Didn't realize it was a Gaiam so it should stay nice longer. At least it better for that extra $3! 

Have a nice night all.

Oh and @Mmsfoxxie I saw Chicago closed gyms again. Hope your place is not affected. I am beyond over this virus as are we all. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Hey all, today was 30 minutes on the reformer and 20 minutes on the Celli, lay down ab bouncing.   Shoveling and more shoveling.

My son now told us both his boys are vomiting at the same time... it never ends for them!

Sorry to sound like a scrooge but I will be glad when the Holidays are over!

Yoga for Social Anxiety this morning. That's pregaming for tomorrow's family Christmas with extended family who are difficult for me.

 I was up late due to the party last night so I am dragging today. Off to get through another work day. I feel like a hamster on a wheel these past few weeks. I need the holidays gone too.  Way too much to do.

Hope everyone has a great end of week. Stay safe and well.

Hi, everybody.  Hope you have your Christmas shopping done.  I didn't do any.

My grandkids get a check from me and my grown kids get a card, lol.  Two of my sons are way better off financially than me.  Then there's one son who is barely making it but I help if he asks me.  But right now, he's fine, too.  I've always hated shopping in crowds, even before Covid.

I didn't do any workout today.  Yesterday was a cardio day.  @Laura14, no, the new mandate doesn't effect my little town yet but usually we are right behind what Chicago does.  I don't think they are closing gyms...you have to prove vaccination.  Indiana is right next to me,too, and I normally go the fours miles there to gas up (they're cheaper) but since their numbers are high, I'm hesitating.  IMO, gas pumps carry more germs than anything.  I am so tired of this whole thing!  My daughter in law in Vegas is expecting in May and want me to come there for about a month to help out because there's no one to help out with the two girls they have.  This is the daughter in law that blocked me on fb.  Bi-polar.  I told them I could probably come for a week but I have to watch my husband who has medical issues.  But I want to help, so if things are ok with hubby, I'll be flying to Vegas in May.  This time she's going to a hospital that will give her a tubs ligation before she leaves.  See, guys!  This is why I slowed down on posting....what's on my mind is what I post about, lol.  

Happy holidays, partners in health!

@Mmsfoxxie We are seeing it here too.  My place of employment has a lot of people out because they are testing positive for the virus. Not sure what we are going to do tomorrow for staffing and it's one of the busiest days of the year. Here we go again. 

My mom is charging her Halo tracker while I type so we hope to have that up and going with one another soon.

My family celebrates Christmas tomorrow. I am sure I'll be posting before work tomorrrow morning but in case anyone is off for the holidays, enjoy, stay safe, and have a wonderful time with your family and friends.

Happy Christmas Eve eve!

I was up at at it early today as I had groceries to get and stuff to make.   Did 30 minutes of spinning with Kaleigh and then her Pyramid Lower body about 27 minutes.  Ouu my bummm

Made a pistachio dessert for tomorrow.  We're all getting pizza.  Don't care Haha

@Mmsfoxxie  I feel like you.  I could write all about how family can suck! I'm so sick of the drama and now my sons are telling me I need to get off FB. Its not good for me.  Okay doctor I"ll get right on that!!   I say "stay in your own lane"  

Well aren't I in the scroogy mood LOL

People just need to keep their mouths shut and not get into others business.  

Better go before I say more haha

Have a great night!

Merry Christmas Eve! I have baked two batches of cookies, baked the cake last night and now I am off to work. 

Did Yoga Joy this morning which was a vinyasa flow. Loved it. A lot of her routines were very similar this month but this one was different, quick and nice. I also did Yoga party last night so now I am two days ahead. Two off days if I want them.  

My family celebrates tonight so party, party. I am excited to eat real food. I've been subsisting on crackers and mac and cheese these past few weeks. I have been so busy. 

Have a wonderful day and enjoy the holiday!
