Thursday- Tae Bo Vol 2 - 950 cals
Friday- TBD (cardio of some kind)
It's been another week in Tight Legville and hard rehabbing has me bruised up. I will NEVER unintentionally skip PT on vacation again. The price I pay and for the length of time rehabbing vs. time off of the regular routine (with the equipment needed with me, I might add) isn't worth the pain. Erg.
But enough of all of that, let's get to...

Dementia, hallucinations contributed to Robin Williams’ suicide (This breaks my heart. Between the Lewy Body Dementia and the meds that his wife said he was complaining about making him feel 'unwell' prior to his death, he should still be here. Why on Earth would you give someone with his history of depression the kind of drugs they did? Sigh. Please God, let something good come out of his unnecessary death!)

We're going to a Christmas light show this weekend and watching DVR'd football which I think will be much more enjoyable. No commercials!
What do you guys have on the agenda?

Pretty good exercise week overall and you've got some great links, as usual. Can't wait to see who wins the goodies - they're going to love that stuff and it was fun picking it all out with you!
ReplyDeleteYes, very good exercise week. I just wish my feet/legs would cooperate and get over themselves. I know I'm trying to rehab on my own but given this is a new spot I haven't really dealt with much, I may have to break down in a week or so and have the doc massage and laser zap me.
DeleteI'm glad the video in the Shake Off link still works. I tried showing someone else last weekend and it was removed...
ReplyDeleteBoo! I hope Taylor's people aren't getting too strict about that kind of stuff because after I saw it, I then saw it everywhere which is only good publicity for people to buy her new album.
DeleteGood afternoon Anele,
ReplyDeleteI like your blog very much. I have some questions about Walk Away the Pounds.
a) Is it easy to follow? I watched a clip and it seemed so. I am not very good with complicated routines. I end up spending more time trying to understand the steps than actually working out.
b) Can it, eventually, be followed on mute? I prefer to listen to my own music while exercising (hence I usually just walk/).
Many thanks.
Apologies if this is a double post.
Happy weekend.
Dear Anele,
DeleteMe again. In the meantime, I read your review: http://successalongtheweigh.blogspot.com/search?q=Walk+Away+the+Pounds. Very informative. I was actually referring to Walk away the pounds 4 mile challenge (the dvd I might purchase) but to be honest I think my questions still apply. Many thanks once more.
WATP is perfect if choreography isn't your thing. She has 4-5 basic moves she uses in all of her walking videos: walking, kickbacks (hamstring curls), kicks, side steps and knee lifts. I can't vouch specifically for that particular DVD but she always says if you can't do any of the moves, just revert back to walking and follow along again when you can. I watch pretty much half of my exercise DVD's on mute because for some reason we pick instructors that can grate with their enthusiasm, if she's one of them for you, I'd say hers is probably the easiest to mute as long as you're paying attention.
DeleteHope that helps!
Wow Anele ... many thanks for the detailed and prompt reply. I will let you know how it goes. Many thanks :-)
DeleteGood evening. I hope you had a pleasant weekend. I did Walk away the pounds - 4 mile challenge - 3 times! It was great. SO easy to follow. I played it on mute first time round and I still managed to follow all the steps. thanks - Maria.
DeleteThat is an awesome week working out! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAlways lose the articles you post. The dog one was terrible! I would be SO MAD if an airline lost my dog and then offered me $200!? SERIOUSLY!?!? Also, love the one on lighting and weight loss. Makes you wonder...
Thanks!
DeleteYeah because $200 will ease the pain. *rolling eyes* The lighting on weight loss is interesting. I've read things before about how they'll manipulate posture, make them suck it in, etc to give the illusion of bigger results than what occur. Erg.
Ahem, I had an interview today and have a 2nd one next Friday... =o) I'm doing my Thanksgiving list tonight and shopping tomorrow along with some errands. I'm leading the meeting tomorrow morning so always a little nervous with that, but I'll be ok. The pups have gone to the dog park every day, but we're due to get some serious snow tomorrow--boooooooo! I am NOT ready for more than flurries right now! I watched the original A Christmas Carol lfrom 1951 ast night - loved it!
