WORKING OUT FOR DISNEY

Morning all! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Not bad here today. 55 and rain just let up. Sun trying to appear.
Back to weekly healthy eating and exercise after eating rubs for the Super Bowl.
Everyone get out and move some today! Have a good one!

Thanks, by the time I get to WDW I will be fully recovered and skinny again!

Whenever it snows in the UK the place grinds to a halt, most places just don't know how to cope with it, which is ridiculous as when I was growing up in the 70s in the Yorkshire we frequently had 8-10ft snow drifts, we had neighbours who ski'd to work, we were always prepared for it and just carried on. Nowadays, apart from the Highlands where people go to ski, the rest of the country has no infrastructure to cope with even a few inches of snow and it drives me crazy.

I'm glad somebody is having good weather!

We went to Aviemore in October ( that's where they do the skiing ) So expecting it to look like Aspen Colorado, it was like a summers day..Even took the ski lift to the top of the mountain, not a snow flake in sight...

That's because they are all at my house!

Thief..

Ah Master..It's all in the mind...The 8 mile walking the parks a day,means you can eat as many cuppies as you desire..

Namaste To ward off the pain brought on by the snow and ice coming tomorrow I started my day with over an hour of Shiva Rea's fluid power yoga and I'm feeling nice and relaxed considering what's to come tomorrow. I'm going out and doing 2 miles later dressed as that tire guy! LOL It's only 11 out but if I don't get out I'm going to go even crazier! Going raw today as I'm sure my diet won't be as good as I want tomorrow with the boys and Jim home tomorrow. I'm sure there will be a movie and popcorn involved at some point! Stay warm and safe and keep moving. And yes Mr. Ferret I'm hoping all the shivering will burn lots of calories, but I'd rather be burning them with my little commandos at Disney!

I must admit I am getting somewhat stir crazy right now, hubby dropped me at the hairdressers this morning (as I can't wash/dry my hair for the next few weeks due to not being able to use my right arm at all). Instead of him picking me up I was going to walk home for some fresh air, but although it is beautifully clear and bright here today and the hills are beckoning, it is very cold and I learned yesterday morning that if my shoulder gets cold it gets very sore, so I took the lazy option and got hubby to collect me and bring me home. Thankfully I am getting a bit more active and learning to do things one handed, everything is slower, even making a cup of tea as I can't even reach to open the fridge door with my right arm, but I am becoming a bit more self sufficient, which is good as I am on my own with our 2yr old for most of tomorrow! Iain can go into work late so can get the others ready for school and will be home in time to do dinner, but in between it could be interesting.

Morning all! Get outside some, Figgy. Sounds like you are getting cabin fever! I get it too! Can't stand to be cooped up for very long! LOL My cat had started getting it until we let her out on the screened porch this weekend to get some fresh air!
I don't see how people can stay inside all the time. It drives me nuts!
We are cloudy and back to 40s today.
At least I got my walk outside yesterday. Today it will be inside.
Dinner is going to be a salad.
Good for you MR Ferret, you are maintaining which is better than gaining!
King, how's the weather? Do you have any snow?
Everyone stay warm and moving!

Good luck and don't do too much too quickly!!!! No reinjuries allowed!

No snow Boomer..Gale force winds predicted..

We are expected to get 8 inches if snow over night, so I will most likely not be making it to the gym. I will however be dieting on our current in house supply of leftover tacos, spaghetti, frozen waffles, and Girl Scout cookies I can only hope the hubby will eat the majority of the latter!

Good morning!! It is sunny and the rain had passed!
Hang on to your hat, KF! Hope the wind goes away soon!
That's why I didn't order cookies this year, Katie! I put them in the freezer and kept pulling them out and eating them!
So didn't want to go through that this year! LOL
Hoping to walk outside today and weights.
Having granola I made and nonfat chobani peach Greek yogurt. My DH and I half the container. Lunch is salad. Dinner is sweet potato Mac and cheese. Haven't made it before and it is a healthy version!
Everyone have a great and magical day!! Move it, move it!!

Wedensday and it's 3.00pm..not ventured out...Tonight's dinner is home made steak pie.. ( think raglan road ) with creamed mash potatoes and beans..( winter food ) ...Keep warm..safe..and keep on dancing...

Well I have just cooked up a large batch of low carb flax seed pancakes, which are yummy and give me something to snack on when I'm bored. It's persisted down all day here so apart from taking the children to the school bus stop I haven't been outside. My dad is coming over tomorrow and if its dry we will walk to the park, my dad can push Lucy on the swings since I can't and then we'll get a coffee and walk back. If it's raining though we'll be staying indoors

Good afternoon, I made it through the storm and didn't lose power YEA! 5 indoor miles and 2 outside as it warmed up just a bit. I hate the cold but I hate staying in even more!!!!!!!!!!!! As we got over a foot yesterday I still have more shoveling left to do!!!!!!!!! 3 classes again tomorrow, so I'll really be moving and lifting then!!!!!!!! Stay warm and safe! Most of all have a magical weekend!

Well today was dry...Today I washed my 52 house windows..Today I repaired one of my chimneys..Today I prepared tonight's dinner..Smoked Haddock..garden peas..boiled potatoes..Tonight I'am gonna have a wee dram of whisky..Tomorrow is another day...

Hey guys!!! Sorry been doing my taxes!! My eyes are gone now!!
Sorry about all that snow, Figgy, but you can keep it! I am done with cold weather!
I bet it is pretty though. Put up a picture if you have time.
Ok King I am coming over for dinner. I haven't even started ours yet! LOL
Everybody stay warm and happy!!

I got outside today
It's been mainly dry, I did something daft this morning and decided to walk my toddler into town for a messy play session at the children's centre. Got there no problem, left at 10:30am but missed the bus home and decided to walk, halfway home 2yr old was tired and grumpy so at 12noon still nowhere near home and my dad was at our house waiting for us. Got sorted in end and decided to walk dog and toddler to park, I could take dog in left hand and dad pushed pram as that's something Dr specifically said I mustn't do. I let dog have a good run in woods as he's not had enough exercise since my operation either, dad took Lucy on swings etc. Then went to cafe for late lunch and walked home.
The fresh air and exercise have really improved my mood so feeling more positive. Hoping weather is dry on Saturday when my dad comes over again to help out.
I am still being good and sticking to my diet plan so hopefully cone Monday I will have lost weight and more importantly be a bit slimmer, working forwards fitting into my summer clothes.

To everyone else, stay safe whatever the weather brings

Just traded my car in for a boat..But with all these animals queuing up outside in twos, think I'll need a bigger one..Keep warm and safe folks,and keep dancing..

Hey guys!! It's Friday!!!
MR Ferret glad you stayed safe! Congrats on the weight loss!! You and the Mrs have a good weekend!
King Fergus make sure your boat doesn't leak! LOL
Have a great and dry weekend!! Just saw some video of your weather on the weather channel! Wild!!
We are working on the kitchen again. Supposed to rain anyway so a good time to do things inside.
Bad icy weather headed here next Wednesday:(
Dancing with Richard Simmons today and weights.
Be safe. Be dry. Move it.

Time out..Its Friday night .10.55..PM... The house is rocking....Winds are 80mph....Catch you all Saturday...

Good evening!

Well, after weeks of having to remain off the ankle (including reinjuring it several times and falling down the steps once because of it), I was finally able to crack it the other morning. Which means it's heeling enough and I can, very carefully and gradually, begin exercising again! So today I did two of the ten minute segments from my Pilates DVD. I'm pretty sore from just 20 minutes, but I guess it's because after weeks of doing nothing, something hurts. Hopefully tomorrow I can do a bit on the stationary bike. Cycling is supposed to be good and not reinjure it, so I'll try it, and if it hurts, stop. School keeps me busy otherwise. Oh, and it's been quite a snowy winter. Snowed again today with a possibility for more on Thursday. The professors are going crazy because of all the missed time.

Monday morning here in Scotland..An orange sunrise out of my castle window wakes me, and as I have a bowl of bran cereal I will walk today round my moat and sail across the loch....Hold the phone..Whit a lot of rubbish..Aye..I'll go for a nice brisk walk..

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
