thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week was a really toasty one! Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and life.
A toasty hot Weekly Run Down
Sunday-travel home from Philly
After another sticky morning walk in Philly and a delish brunch, I hopped back on the train and headed home. The train was full of FIFA fans from the Philly game and those heading back to DC for some of the other 250 celebrations. A quick Peloton core class got me my check mark for the day.
Monday-core + upper body strength + lower body strength + power walk
I was ready to get back to my typical hit it hard Monday schedule. Today’s lower body class was sneaky hard with split squats, off set dead lifts and jump squats.
Only a real idiot waits until 3 pm to go for a power walk in this heat. I guess I am that idiot! LOL my day just got away from me and I started off much later than planned. I survived!
Tuesday-Pilates reformer + stretch
Today was my weekly Pilates reformer class. I’m starting to get the hang of the terms and the breathing. Later, I met my mom and my sister for lunch and then we headed over to visit my dad. He is doing a lot better this week thankfully and has more energy.
Wednesday-core Pilates + full body strength + tread hike
I started off with a challenging core Pilates class followed by a toasty full body strength class. It was too hot to walk outside so I hopped on the tread for a hike. Later, it was Mahjong Wednesday. I had a good go of it and won 2 games.
Thursday-upper body strength + core + tread hike
oof! It’s 101 degrees in the shade! Needless to say, my hike was done on my tread. I did cool off in the pool for a while which was just perfect.
Friday-mat Pilates/core + lap swim
I had a double “play date” today. After doing my morning Pilates class, a friend came over to swim laps. The pool is the place to be when it’s over 100.
Later, 2 other friends came over for a little bubbly and pool mahjong. It’s the only way to beat the heat.
Saturday- core + full body strength + tread walk + stretch + lap swim
It’s another toasty one! I started my morning with a nice sleep in followed by a full body strength and indoor walk. Later, my friend came over to hang in the pool again. Happy 4th of July! I’m truly grateful to be living in our country and proud to be an American.
Sunday-today is my dad’s 88th birthday and I’m so happy that we are able to celebrate with him later today.
Bubbles and pool mah jang sounds amazing! I’m sorry the heat has been so brutal, but it sounds like you are making the most of it. I’m glad you can celebrate your dad’s birthday! happy birthday to him!
Thank you we are very grateful to be celebrating with him today
You’re doing really well with the mahjong! Is it hard to learn? I know absolutely nothing about the game.
Our dads are the same age! How nice that he is recovering so well! Enjoy your time together today.
It was not too hard to learn and so fun to play
Happy birthday to your dad! Glad to hear he’s doing better.
You’re lucky to have the pool–I’ve been spending my fair share of time indoors to escape the heat. Not exactly what I want to do in summer!
I don’t like having to do so many indoor workouts either. Hopefully this week is better. Yes we are so glad he is doing better
Wow, 101 in the shade is HOT! Well done getting all your workouts in and finding suitable alternatives for everything. I’m glad to hear your dad is better, and happy birthday to him!
Thanks so much!
It certainly has been toasty, but it looks like it’s going to cool off a bit this coming week.
Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July celebration yesterday! Ditto on being grateful to live in the USA and proud to be an American!
It’s good to hear that your dad is recovering and you were able to visit him on his birthday. Happy belated birthday to him!
Thanks we are happy to be celebrating with him today
Looks like it will cool down this week thankfully
Heat seems to be the theme of the week.
Lucky you with a pool.
And winning a bag jongg. I did not win this week.
Hope the weather cools down.
Looks like it should be a much better week
Happy Birthday to your Dad! It is great that you will be able to celebrate with him. <3
The pool is the place to be this week — or for me, in my cool basement with our turbo fan blowing on me!
Yes it has been challenging weather for sure . Thanks we are glad to be celebrating with him today
Happy birthday to your Dad! I’m sure your time together for this year’s celebration will be extra special.
We lived in our pool this week. I am toasty tan now! No laps were swum, but the floaty rafts got a workout 🙂
Thanks and yes the pool is the place to be
Happy birthday to your dad! I’m so glad he’s recovering.
Congratulations at your mah jong wins!
There’s nothing positive about this weather right now. I just need a break in the heat and humidity.
Thanks we are so glad too
Happy Birthday to your dad! I’m glad to hear he’s doing better. And, you’re really embracing the summer with pool mahjong! That sounds really fun. Thank goodness for treadmills and AC, right? Great job of getting your workouts in.
Hank’s we are happy to be celebrating with him today
Awh, happy birthday to your dear dad! I’m glad to hear he’s doing better! It’s also my oldest daughter’s bday today 😉 Looks like we all got hit with the extreme heat last week…good thing you have your pool 😉
Thanks and happy birthday to your daughter as well!
Uff, I don’t envy your hot and humid weather. I’d also opt for the treadmill.
Way to go on learning Pilates reformer! I have a friend who takes these classes and loved them.
I am so happy to hear your dad is doing better and you’re able to celebrate his birthday!
Thanks so much we are too 🙂
