Morning Everyone!  Got up this morning and did my PiYo workout.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day!  Gotta run - busy at work but wanted to say hi!

[nomless]

Hi, all.  Will keep this short because I have nothing to report due to a colonscopy this morning.  The procedure had to be aborted because my colon is curvier than most, I started coughing (both of these increase the risk of the scope rupturing the colon), my blood pressure dropped and my heart started racing. I'm thankful the doc stopped the procedure.  I ended up having to go for a CT virtual colonoscopy this afternoon. My system is a wreck being without food for 40 hours, no fluids for 12 hours and no sleep last night (had to do the prep overnight).  I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but I'll see how I feel in the morning.  I'll eat something again soon, will drink more water, and will head off to bed very soon.  Unfortunately, instead of getting results immediately as expected, it will take a few days.  Oh, well.  

I hope everyone had a good day.

Oh no nomless...ugh!  I hope you got some rest last night and are feeling better today.  Praying for a good report.  What an ordeal that turned into! 

HIIT(with weights) work-out this morning and cardio throughout the day.  Yesterday was weights, running, power-walking, hiking, and a short bike ride.  I'm afraid bugs may be a problem here...I ate more than my share. 

I also ran errands yesterday and can't find my laundry detergent...looked it up online, have to go to Walmart today.  Did all my laundry with the liquid so hope that isn't what made me itch all night long. 

Hope everyone is doing okay!  Waving...

Good morning all! A bit cooler today but it is still glorious out there. Dogwoods and weeping cherry trees are beginning to bloom in compliment to all the blazing gold forsythia. 

Nomless, oh my goodness - I hope you are nourished and hydrated and feeling better soon.  Thank goodness your doctor stopped the procedure. 

Wow iluvlucy that is an impressive workout.

Yesterday I did a series of standing yoga poses in my office then had a lovely outdoor walk.  I wanted to do a Margaret Richard workout with weights at home but DH wanted to treat to dinner at The 99 so that's what we did.  I need my Margaret fix, definitely on tap for tonight! And a friend loaned me a Mirabai Holland cardio DVD so I can see what she is all about. 

Waves all around - have a fit and healthy day!

Hi Everyone!  My alarm went off this morning and my body said "Are you kidding me?"  LOL so think I'll do my ab workout tonight when I get home.

Nomless - Oh my!  what an ordeal you went through.  Hope you are doing much better this morning.

iluvlucy - Great workout as always.  Eating bugs, yuck!  LOL

Pilateslover - going out to dinner is always a nice treat. 

Bought the pressure cooker TSV a week or so ago.  I've made 2 meals out of it and both have been disasters.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  But I won't be deterred by a silly machine!  Trying to eat healthier and hoping the pressure cooker will help in that regard.

Have a good day!  Guess I'd better get going here at work.

Hey all, Everyone is doing really well with their workouts, Hooray!

Nomless I am so sorry your procedure turned into more than you would have liked, not that you liked any of it but you know what I mean.  I hope you feel better,,,just rest you'll be back to working out soon..Please let us know, praying for good results

I got groceries this morning and had a Chiropractor appt, then came home and did a trail walk and some planks, and some weights..

Judy I have an old pressure cooker I bought from the Q but it isn't digital or anything, but I havent' used it a whole lot, but it's worked when I have.  I hope you have better luck with the next recipe.

Iluvlucy we have the bugs here too just haven't come out yet but they will be in full force soon, ruins sitting outside actually.

I wonder if Margaret Richards will get any new programs.  It's all funded by Public TV I think..she's trying though.  I like her.

Waving to everyone, making a new recipe for dinner so need to prep and get organized.  Have a great day everyone!

I think we all need to gather together and sit on this porch, who's in?  

[JudyL]

Bopper - I want to sit on that porch with a nice beverage - preferably with a little somethin' mixed in it..... )

I'm sure my disasters with the pressure cooker are operator error!  Good luck with your new recipe tonight.

[JudyL]

Came home and did a TurboJam Ab workout and now I'm relaxing and watching a show that I recorded - Grantchester.  It's a PBS mystery show that I absolutely love!  Hope everyone is having/has had a good evening.

Good morning all!

Judy, I'm sorry to hear your pressure cooker is not love at first sight.  Which model did you get?  I purchased an Instant Pot on Black Friday and it has turned out to be a lot more complex than I'd bargained for.  Some websites which have helped me a lot are www.hippressurecooking.com and www.pressurecookingtoday.com. 

Well Bopper I would love to sit on that beautiful porch!

Hoping Nomless is feeling better today.

Yesterday was the best in a long time, exercise wise.  I had a lunch break walk, and tried some of a Mirabai Holland level I cardio DVD that I have on loan.  Only about 15 minutes as I wanted to get to the Margaret workout! I did a full hour, full body workout and loved it. 

I hope everyone has a fit and fab day!!

I walked myself all over Florida in the past couple of days so no "official" work out but I did manage over 15,500 steps at Disney on Monday so it wasn't a total loss.  

I think I am going to try the short Ride class tomorrow morning to try and get back to some real cardio.  I was very happy with my bathing suit shopping so I want to make sure it still fits come summer.  

Congrats on all the fitness you guys have been doing and @nomless  big .  I'm thinking of you.
