Yesterday I was home from work sick and didn’t/couldn’t do anything, so no workout. I did go to work today and thought maybe I could do yesterday’s yoga/pilates workout, I got most of it done but had to take a couple of breaks and now I am really tired. Maybe should have done a shorter version 🙂
Hope everyone is well 🙂

You poor thing I am so sorry to read you weren’t well yesterday. At least you did try something. I find the Pilates and Yoga routine quite tough and you did really well to most of it. I hope you feel better today.

Glad you rested and honored your body Maureen! Hope you feel better soon <3
Days 44&45/Wendsday &Thursday yesterday was a busy , 3 house day with a little drama in the middle. My son was having a very bad day & being difficult for my parents so I had to leave work to take him to his work. Oh and my car is still acting up !The combo of stress, heat and tiredness brought on a wicked migraine. So I took a active rest day.                Today/ Thursday- no work today -my son had a drs appt to evaluate him for disability services. Before we left I did you tube yoga for belly, buns & tighs. It’s been a while since Ive done that one. It was a nice way to warmup my body after by hard day yesterday. After the drs appt & dropping my son at work (he is doing a unpaid intern) I did a 4 mile temp/ interval run on the trail. It was pure heaven . I haven’t been in the trail in about a month , I think it may be over a month. I have missed it. After my blissful run my car battery died!!yikes ! I think it time for a new one.  I hoping to do tone and flow later tonight . I will have no car tomorrow so we may walk to the beach we like frequent . We’ve never walked to it . That will definitely give me of steps.

You have certainly been busy and have got a lot on. It is wonderful to read how you still take care of yourself. Getting out on the trails is great therapy isn’t it?
Sorry to read about your car though. I haven’t driven for years as living where I do it isn’t necessary but I remember my cars when I lived here in the UK. I had a mini called Gertie and then a 2CV called Jane we often had to be recovered ho hum.
Enjoy your walk to the beach today.
Hey Jackie Mc and mholdsworth 😀
Just thought I would checck in even though I can’t do too much right now. Still following your posts and as always you both are amazing 🙂
mholdsworth you zip line adventure sounded so fun and I can’t think of anyone who deserved it more 🙂 <3
Jackie as always the UK sounds great. Is the aunt you mentioned the one that was having trouble with her eyes? How is she? Are your mom and D getting things situated for their new chapter?
Hope everyone is well and I hope someday to be back at it. My knees were starting to do a little better and then I had the Bruno Mars song Uptown Funk going though my head so I was dancing around being silly and messed them up again. I did ask a healthcare professional about the pain in my foot and she thinks it is probably arthritis and/or some late stage nephropathy from my chemo, think the and is arthritis or tendonitis……..the joys of getting older after having been so clumsy when I was young LOL 😀
Everyone keep up the great inspiration 🙂

Thanks for checking in ! It is great to hear from you & to know your following our posts . Sorry to read about your knee and foot pain. I did smile when I read the part about getting silly to uptown funk ! Our whole family gets silly when we hear that song. How is work ?

Hello Maureen it is wonderful to hear from you. You have such a great memory. It was the auntie who is losing her sight and it has gone totally in her left eye and she is losing it gradually on her right. She looks fabulous, dresses beautifully and is otherwise in great health and so positive and making the most of her life at 87 she is an inspiration.
Mum is great but her short term memory isn’t great. We have been having lots of super days out together and that helps a lot. She knows she needs to get out and enjoy her life and is touching base with her friends again. D is home again and is much, much steadier on his feet. He has helpers coming am, mid day and evening for a short while and that really helps.
I too am sad to read about your knees and your feet. I have never heard Uptown Funk but I am going to look it up on YouTube. How is your garden?
Day 53 and I have my mojo is back. I started my day with Upper Body partnered with Total Body Training. I used 4kilos for both my heavy and light sets. I am amazed at my progress. Last summer I struggled using 4kilos as my heavy set but now I am using them as a light set (although I sometimes struggle on some of those final reps). Enjoy your day everyone. 💪

Way to go Jackie !!!Great to hear of your progress!! Isn’t it a wonderful feeling.
Day 44/Tuesday- No am routine before my half day of work. Since I was leaving to go on my zip line adventure after work  I prepared items for dinner for my husband to reheat later at dinner time . I did this with my sons help .I love being in the kitchen with him. Time got away from me and I only had time to do 20 minutes of cardio step jam before having to leave.  The drive to our ziplining adventure was a long one it took 2 hrs, traffic was a bit of a nightmare . Thankfully we planned on that so we were right on time for our reservation. We had a blast!  It was a super hero / glo themed event. The 4 of us dressed up. We did lots of traversing different wooden obstacles ,some rope swinging &  ziplining. I was a bit disappointed that all of the harder ziplining  trails ( they were the reason I wanted to go to this facility)  were closed due to threat of weather and after our first trail climb the all medium trails closed . We did 2 easier trails before they had to suspend climbing due to apporching storms. This is a top notch facility and they did a terrific job keeping there eyes and ears on all guests .We only had enough time to do one more climb and were happy with our experience so we left and went to dinner . We all worked up a appetite and ate some yummy hamburgers at a fancy hamburger restaurant. It was a fantastic evening. It was wonderful catching up  and spending time with my freind and our daughters . My daughter is such a thoughtful young lady to have planned this for me.  Even though it’s now past midnight I’m going to take  15 minutes to do some yoga as ,my arms are already talking to me  from tonight’s tree top adventure.

What an amazing experience and how lucky you are to have such a wonderful daughter to organise and encourage you to do it. It sounds such fun but I do understand the facility’s caution about the weather. Perhaps, now you have the taste of this adventure you will go back.

Our town has a small facility that my daughter and I went to years ago . It was fun but unfortunately not worth the money we had to pay . The one we went to last night was worth the drive . It had far more choices and levels of difficulty. It was at least $30 less and an hour more climb time . Iwe will definitely go back .
I just started Walk 3 yesterday. I loved the fact you had a whole video on the foundations. I think that is forgotten about and sometimes if you don’t know them you don’t get the workout you should be getting. I did the Metabolic conditioning today loved it, I was sparkling like crazy. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Your great Jessica so up beat all the time you make it fun to workout. I do miss seeing Peanut on this new installment.
