working out for Disney

[Sans Souci]

Wait...you bought a set of DVDs and not all the content is on it? Of COURSE people want more of the 55 minute content. If you paid for it, you should have it!

I signed up for a 10 day trial of a streaming service. It's not the DVDs I bought last week. The streaming service is the one that's not giving the whole work out. The DVDs set I bought is fine.

Good morning Upper body weights and cardio so far. I didn't do any lower body because it's going into the 80s and I want to do as much walking as I can before my legs give out LOL I managed to get beans done in the slow cooker, a bunch of chicken and boneless pork grilled, potatoes roasted, pasta with sundries tomato sauce made and salad and veggies chopped yesterday so there's no cooking for me today Just some housework and laundry. Hello great outdoors!

Sun dried tomato sauce sounds delicious. Do you have a recipe?

 

[Sans Souci]

Hello-

I went for another long walk today, since it was another sunny, 80+ F day. I was going to do some cardio in the house, but I slept very poorly last, so I slept in a bit. I didn't feel up to a high energy workout, so I walked. My new clips for my barbell arrive tomorrow, so I am going to do Body Pump tomorrow. I am going to some nature trails tomorrow morning, too. It's going to top out at 70 tomorrow, but I'll take it!

Not really. i chop an onion and one box of mushrooms and water saute. Then in the food processor I put in about 4 ounces of sundried tomatoes, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic and a few tbsp of evoo and make almost a paste leaving just enough bits. Thne I add it to the onion and mushrooms cooking it just a bit then I add in a can of diced tomatoes and a bit of oregano and basil. Someday I'm going to have to take my time and measure food. LOL

Good morning today I started a 30 program, yoga with Adrienne (free on youtube) followed up by kickboxing. Strange combo by a strange person LOL I'm going walking again to enjoy the wonderful weather and spend some time with friends but nothing like yesterday. I'm so glad I had time yesterday I got out and did 11 miles It was so nice I didn't want to be inside. Today it's going to be just as nice but I have to conquer mount laundry and get some other things done I think the other part of going so far was just to prove I could do it. I hope everybody is doing well.

Hello-
I am in with Body Pump today. My clips came today and it was so nice not to have to stress about changing the weights on my barbell. We had one our of bathrooms remodeled last week and my son just broke the new shower door. He is 6' 2'' and 14 years old, so I think he's not in control of his larger body yet, but it is frustrating to have to shell out for another door. UGH.

Good morning 5 advanced miles (LS the one with weights and bands) and day 2 of 30 days of yoga. I have pizza left over from yesterday Portabella caps for crust and vegan cheese so that and salad will be dinner. A chocolate berry smoothie for breakfast with spirulina and protein powder for breakfast and a large Italian salad for lunch. Yea a no cooking for me day. The boys are another story. EEEKKKKK and somehow I still have laundry left to do. I'm putting away the flannel and fleece sheets and a few blankets yea spring is here. Have a great day and try and get out and enjoy if weather permits.

Oh!! Ok...That makes so much more sense!

Hello-

I did a different BodyCombat tonight. I think I will go back to the one I was doing before, just because there is always a learning curve with these. I did stand and watch in confusion at some points. I was still learning the other one I was doing, so I will stick to that.

Good morning. I got up and my hip was a bit stiff but not sore so I did day three of the 30 day yoga challenge. It's a good thing I did. My hips opened right up and felt really good. I don't know if I just got lucky or there is something to the order of the practices but I'll take it I then did 5 fat burning miles, plan a was Zumba but seeing my hip was a bit off when I got up I didn't want to do any moves that might have made it angry. I have a pineapple that needs to get cut up so some of it's going in a smoothie for breakfast. Lunch will be a salad and I think I may make soup for dinner. If it gets as warm as I hope I may make salad for dinner also.

It's been damp/humid, so maybe that is why your hip was sore? I am glad the yoga helped open up your hips.

Hello-

I am in with Body Pump. I was a bit sore from the cardio MMA I did yesterday in my arms, especially my shoulders. I almost didn't workout because I was so sore, but I gave it a whirl and I made it through. I bumped up the weights a bit and survived.

I have to get up at 5 tomorrow. My son's 8th grade trip is tomorrow and they are going to Springfield to see Lincoln's house, etc. He comes back at 9. He's probably going to be Mr. Grouch tomorrow. LOL

It was dry out here, I think I just slept funny. or it could have been that I sat in my dh's chair for a while on Wednesday (not comfy at all). Anyhoo it seems fine today.

That sounds like fun! Are you going with them?

Good morning. I'm in double digit mode! Time to spend the next 98 days building endurance. Lots and lots of walking I see a lot of cardio in my future LOL Today was LS 5 advanced miles and day 4 of the yoga challenge. I'm hoping the rain hold off long enough to get 5 miles in outside. If not I may do some Zumba. Nothing like getting ready to spend 12+ hours a day on my feet for days on end. oh who am I kidding I love it both the getting ready part and long vacation days.

Oh that sounds fun! I saw Lincoln's birthplace on a trip to Florida once. We drove everywhere and we would stop along the way to see historical or natural things. We saw Mammoth Cave, the Louis and Clark trail, Sacagawea's grave, Independence Rock, a museum where the first helicopter is supposed to be on display, but we never found the helicopter, a giant statue of the Jolly Green Giant....tons of stuff. I miss that.
My exercise was running around at the school helping out today. King's day is next week and the kids are free, so they did their celebrations today. So since I'm in the parent's group, I had to help peeling and cutting apples, making a sort of koolaid drink, and walking back and forth with serving trays. I have to go pick up popsicles in an hour for when the older grades get back from their track and field day. The younger grades only have half-days on Fridays, so we were done there. But, my hip is holding up really well. It's so weird now, because I got so used to always being in pain. Now it feels weird NOT to be in pain all the time. It's great, but just weird. I keep waiting for the pop.

@epcotisbest , been missing your delicious food (and other) pictures lately. Hope your camera didn't break, because I really look forward to those! The food pix inspire me to choose better options. (Although, Rome wasn't built in a day. I did have Cocoa Puffs and milk for breakfast this morning! )

Hope everything else is going well, too, and you're enjoying the spring.

 

[Sans Souci]

I think I am. It's much cheaper than the other service I am paying for and there is much more variety. There are yoga-ish classes, spinning classes, dance cardio classes, core classes, hiit classes, etc. I think this was the shake up I needed.

I am glad your hip is pain-free. That must be a relief with your upcoming WDW trip.

I have never been to Springfield despite living in Illinois most of my life. He had a really good time. My son has Asperger's Syndrome, so sometimes I worry about him on these types of trips. The school asked us if we wanted an aide to accompany him, but we declined this time. We want him to be more independent and he was fine.

Good morning day 5 of 30 done. 1/4th of the way LOL. It stopped raining so I got some walking done and am now heading back out. It's still a bit raw so some nice warm tomato soup is called for. I'm cheating by blending the tomatoes, onions, herbs and garlic and nuking them for a minute or so.
