Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

Hi, Pink, welcome! You and DH have had a great month exercising every morning! Good job. How nice to get it done and be ready for the rest of your day. I've tried to do mornings, but it doesn't work for me. I'm just not alert enough to do a good job. Yay that DH is done with chemo and doing well. That's awesome.

I've been really busy at work and in RL. I realized this morning that I didn't post yesterday. I missed a workout because I had a party to go to instead.

Bopper, I missed BL, too. I'll check to see if it's on OnDemand; I've missed 2 weeks and would like to catch up.

Patty, I hope you had fun with gf this morning. Have fun at all the parties! But, I suppose partying gets old after you've done so many. I bet Lucy would rather you just stay home. LOL.

Hi, Future, you're still busy, as usual, but how nice that you're getting in a date night. Enjoy.

My weekend will be pretty quiet, I think. I'm getting my hair cut in the afternoon, but that's about all I have scheduled. Oh, Patty, I hope you're happy with your new 'do.

Cater, hi to you, too. I hope you're enjoying the holiday season. Lots of good wishes to you.

I'm at work, and more stuff came in I need to do, so gotta go. Have a happy Friday, all!

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

I got off work early, so I did a long (for me) cardio session on treadmill then bike. I was going to go longer, but I got a cramp in my leg. I was able to work it out quickly by standing on that leg. Fortunately it wasn't too bad.

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

nomless, make sure you're getting enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium...great for leg cramps and usually make them go right away.

bopper...I used to watch them both and have lost interest in both. Survivor has been on a long time...can remember watching it back in Wisconsin on a vacation with my gf's years ago, can't even remember how long ago it was it was so long.

Okey...get your rest and you'll be back for the New Year!

Hi Pink...glad things are going so well and looking up for you and dh.

FUTURE...we're doing SPIN this morning too...I'll race ya!Wink Then the Boxing Skills and Drills class right after it so we'll be dripping.

I'm sore from the past few days so this should be interesting...kind of hard to take it easy while boxing. My gf was dripping sweat and said she didn't feel good because it's so hot in that gym...I just can't believe they can't do anything about it! {#emotions_dlg.mad}

They just said on the news that the East Coast is really being hit hard by the flu, more so than the rest of the country...that scares me so bad for my son. He's on those auto-immune suppressant drugs...ay.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

Thanks for the tips, Patty. I certainly am puzzled about the leg cramps. Today did weights and a little cardio. Did the bike for 25 min with now sign of cramping, thank goodness. Have a good Saturday, everyone. I'm heading out for a haircut. Cold and drizzly here but it's not snowing so it's all good.

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

I've been up since 2:50 so today will be a long day. It's supposed to be my day off but I'm thinking I might as well go for a run since I'm up early enough before church. I do think my bod might need the rest though, feeling sore all over...I'll play it by ear.

Oh boy, yesterday morning was not the best for me, nothing was going right. Couldn't find my gym card and I darn near lost my mind looking for it. I just got a new purse for Christmas and somehow, I left my gym cards in my old purse but was convinced I didn't...so didn't take kindly to dh's suggestion of that possibility...{#emotions_dlg.blushing}!

Then we get to the gym and I step on the mat in front of the glass doors as I'm walking in...the mat thrusts forward and my face smacks into the glass door!! And I had glasses on to make it even more embarrassing.

Party was very nice last night, had a good time. Got me some baby-lovin'...held 3 of them! Dh put one to sleep and he was out like a light! We're baby people...and animals, kids..love them all so much and they know it!!{#emotions_dlg.wub}

Waving to everyone, have a great day!

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

Good morning, all.

Yikes, Patty, your day will be a long one, starting it at 2:30! Good thing you didn't break your glasses when you ran into the door!

Well, I'm not happy with my haircut. I've had it pixie for a long time, and a few months ago decided to grow it out to a short bob. So yesterday she said "We're going for one length, righ?" My answer was "long layers." By that I meant (but didn't say) nearly one length, but layer the ends so it's loose and flippy. She took it to mean layered like I had it before, but longer than pixie. The result was she cut about 4" off, and now it's just a weird cut. The back is short and layered, but the sides are longer, covering my ears. Dang. Starting over with growing it out again. Oh, well. I've hated my hair styles for about 10 years, so this is nothing new. I've learned to just accept it, it is what it is, and it will grow. I hope before I die I can find a style I actually like, but I'm not sure that will happen. But it's only hair. My saggy, baggy face probably looks worse than my hair, LOL.

I have a lot to do today, probably won't get in a workout. Need to start answering Christmas cards I've received and need to cook food for lunches. My frig and freezer are packed full with no more room. Need to figure out what's in there and do a purge.

Make it a good day.

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

Happy Sunday all, watching football here and have a loaf of cinnamon bread in the oven. After the game we're taking Logan on the trial. It's getting windy out though, and starting to snow again...it's not cold though, 33 outside.

Pppmint I love babies and dogs too....I miss the baby smells ( well most of them haha) Sorry you were up so early, it will be a long day for you...you roll well with it though I must say!

Nomless I don't get many cards these days...I send a few out to people I never see though. We have left over beef stew for dinner but I am figuring out the week too as we will be eating at my sisters on Christmas Eve and my SIL's on Christmas day..

I recorded Holiday Inn and White Christmas so will try and watch at least one of those tonight.

Why is it getting dark and it's only 2:40 pm! Too many clouds...seems December is one of the cloudiest months of the year. At least now the days start to get longer, Hooray!

Have a great rest of your day!

Re: Welcome to the December Exercise Check In

Gosh, no visitors today?? I hope everyone is getting ready for a fun Christmas. I had a busy day. It rained all day. The drive home in the dark was unpleasant. It was hard to see in the dark with glare on wet streets. Got home late, missed my workout, and now heading to sleep. Night, all.
