Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 hiya! its time for a mid-week checkin! i have been very active this week so far... on saturday and sunday i spent many hours putting up outdoor xmas lights -- more hours on tuesday and today. around 18 hours total. geeze i have alot of lights, but finally they are all up and look great! now to do the indoor decorating this weekend... wheew!! i was surprised at how tired i was after doing all of the lights... lots of reaching and bending, climbing up and down the ladder, etc. my glutes are sore. while the weather was nice for outdoor decorating on saturday, i worked through a blizzard on sunday and high winds on tuesday and today. geeze, the things i do for christmas...lol. on sunday i actually did a video workout -- gilad's express workouts, disc 2. this is a variety of 10 min (or so) workouts... i did the whole disc which is about 65 mins or so. i really enjoyed this... it was fun and not overly challenging. enough to know that i had a workout but not enough to make me exhausted. i also walked for an hour with chinook on sunday. monday was shopping day and since it was so snowy here, i stomped around town with my snow boots on and was surprised that my legs were tired after that... they are kind of heavy boots. after slipping and falling down on ice and snow yesterday, i was happy to try out a new gadget today... these wiry spring-looking things that attach to the bottom of my crosstrainers so that i can walk on snow and ice without falling down. wow, i am really impressed... these things are flippin amazing!! i can even power walk in themand they do not mess up my form at all !! i wish that i had these a long time ago for walking outdoors in the winter here in the country. chinook and i walked for around an hour today and even though it was very windy and cold, i was all bundled up and felt great. since the outdoor xmas lights are up, i should be free to do another video workout tomorrow. the only thing that has been a bummer this week is that im fighting a cold virus. ive actually had a virus in my right eye for the last week and a half... it runs constantly, which is very annoying, and now the virus is moving into the rest of my head ::sigh:: im not letting it get the best of me though... life goes on!! :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 You have been a busy bee Carolyn!!!I'm so imprssed that you put up the lights yourself! I have a ton of x-mas lights that haven't been put up in YEARS.. My husband's job. Maybe I should take over and he can watch the kiddos... You inspire me!DarcyOn Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 6:27 PM, Festival City Concrete/ & Carolyn Visser wrote: hiya! its time for a mid-week checkin! i have been very active this week so far... on saturday and sunday i spent many hours putting up outdoor xmas lights -- more hours on tuesday and today. around 18 hours total. geeze i have alot of lights, but finally they are all up and look great! now to do the indoor decorating this weekend... wheew!! i was surprised at how tired i was after doing all of the lights... lots of reaching and bending, climbing up and down the ladder, etc. my glutes are sore. while the weather was nice for outdoor decorating on saturday, i worked through a blizzard on sunday and high winds on tuesday and today. geeze, the things i do for christmas...lol. on sunday i actually did a video workout -- gilad's express workouts, disc 2. this is a variety of 10 min (or so) workouts... i did the whole disc which is about 65 mins or so. i really enjoyed this... it was fun and not overly challenging. enough to know that i had a workout but not enough to make me exhausted. i also walked for an hour with chinook on sunday. monday was shopping day and since it was so snowy here, i stomped around town with my snow boots on and was surprised that my legs were tired after that... they are kind of heavy boots. after slipping and falling down on ice and snow yesterday, i was happy to try out a new gadget today... these wiry spring-looking things that attach to the bottom of my crosstrainers so that i can walk on snow and ice without falling down. wow, i am really impressed... these things are flippin amazing!! i can even power walk in themand they do not mess up my form at all !! i wish that i had these a long time ago for walking outdoors in the winter here in the country. chinook and i walked for around an hour today and even though it was very windy and cold, i was all bundled up and felt great. since the outdoor xmas lights are up, i should be free to do another video workout tomorrow. the only thing that has been a bummer this week is that im fighting a cold virus. ive actually had a virus in my right eye for the last week and a half... it runs constantly, which is very annoying, and now the virus is moving into the rest of my head ::sigh:: im not letting it get the best of me though... life goes on!! :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Carolyn, I hope you'll take pics of your xmas lights and place in your folder! 18 hours worth? Holy cow! Those wiry gadgets sound intriguing. Happy you had a hot date with Gilad, and I hope that virus leaves your system soon! A lot of people have a head cold at the office here, so you're not alone. There's something going 'round. Get well soon Cola Pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Oh! Ice skating is a TOUGH workout! Are you going to a rink or is there a place outside near you where you can do it? I've never done it outside, only at a rink, but I'd love to try it outside someday. Please report in! Triple axels, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
