Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week was still a bit stressful with my parents but ended on a better note. Good bye June!
Good Bye June Weekly Run Down
Sunday-floor Pilates
As my dad is still in the hospital, our Father’s Day celebration was not exactly what we had originally planned. However, we wanted to still celebrate my husband and my sister’s husband so we had a lower key BBQ lunch. Today was another fit it in Pilates class. Hope to get back to my regular schedule tomorrow.
Monday-core + upper body strength + lower body strength + tread hike
I really needed this 90 min workout today! Also really appreciated the squat jumps at the end. Later, I went to visit my dad who seems to be doing better past 2 days. He even took a little stroll around his floor with me and the walker. I have not seen him do that in a while. I’m more hopeful he might come from this at some point.
Tuesday-reformer Pilates class + tread walk
Today was my weekly Pilates reformer class and we did some new things that definitely a core challenge. It was pouring rain all day so my afternoon walk took place on the tread. But I got it done!
Wednesday-upper body strength
I had a bunch of stuff going on today so a 30 min upper body class was all I got in. Short but good! Later it was Mahjong day where I luckily won one game.
Thursday-standing core + full body strength + tread hike
I made up for yesterday’s short workout with a longer, more challenging stack today. The standing core class had some great balance exercises. My full body class had lots of step ups on the bench and drop sets of bicep curls. I finished off with a 30 min tread hike for some sweaty steps.
In good news-my dad was released from the hospital today and is resting comfortably at home. My sister and I were able to arrange some good home care help for him. He really wanted a male nurse (those are hard to come by!) but we think we have them set up. Thankfully, we all feel good about this set up-fingers crossed!
Friday-travel to Philadelphia
Now that my dad is home and we have them all set up, I kept my plans for a quick trip to Philly to visit one of my besties. She planned massages for us in the afternoon and boy did I appreciate that today! Somehow we walked about 24,000 steps!
Saturday-walking around Philly + stretch class
The weather was less than optimal with all day rain. We did not let that stop us from getting in another 25K steps again. The second part of girls weekend included a fabulous facial and afternoon shopping.
This was just the chill weekend with a friend that I needed. Good Bye June!
I’m glad to hear that your situation with your dad is hopefully getting better! It’s great you were able to still take your trip – sounds like lots of steps, girl time and massages was what you needes!
Yes, we are very relieved that he is well enough to come home thanks
Sorry about your dad. Glad is finally home and that you got away.
Hope this week goes well.
Thanks we are very thankful that he was able to come home
I’m so glad your Dad is home and you got to have your girls weekend. I’m sure it was much needed after all that worry.
Yes we are very thankful! It was nice to escape for a few days
It’s good to hear that your dad was released from the hospital and things seem to be falling into place with his home health care. Sending prayers for him to continue to feel better.
Your weekend away with one of your besties sounds like the best medicine for you! I remember meeting her in Portland, Maine that time we met-up with Darlene briefly!
Hope this coming week is less stressful.
Yes you did meet her in Maine! She is not thrilled that I am not running anymore but we had a nice weekend away
So glad your dad is home — what a relief. And wow, you still packed in such strong workouts. That Philly weekend sounded like the perfect reset. Here’s to a calmer July !
Thanks we are very relieved and yes a great reset for sure
Yes, you definitely needed a chill friend weekend this week! Very glad your dad is doing better.
What is up with all this rain? It seems like it’s raining everywhere but Florida, and this is supposed to be our rainy season! Anyway, nice job getting your workouts in (as you usually do).
Thanks we are very relieved that he was able to come home and it was nice to get away for the weekend
That’s great news about your dad getting home! I hope all goes well as he continues to recover. Glad you got your girls weekend…I’m sure it was a great getaway after the tough situation with your father.

Thanks so much we are very relieved
Good news about your dad!
You always get so much good strength work done. That 90 minute workout must have felt good!
Sounds fantastic with a girls weekend, and massage too! That’s something we all should get now and then when we train a lot.
Yes it was much needed for sure. we are relieved my dad is home for now
A Father’s Day that didn’t go as planned sounds heavy, but I really admire how you still carved out moments of normal life in between everything. So good that your dad is back home and you found a male nurse!
How is your mum dealing with all this?
Thanks we are relieved to have him at home and he seems to be doing well having the extra help at home. My mom has been able to relax an catch her breath so we are thankful for that
So happy to hear your dad is better and back home! What a relief… especially since you were able to go on your trip to see your friend feeling that he is in good hands!
It is definitely a relief! Thanks
I’m glad your dad was able to come home. How lucky you are that he’s open to having help!!!
Your girls’ weekend sounds fun.
Yes I think they are both very happy to have more help. They are getting him up at least 2x a day to walk a little which is just what he needs
Oh gosh. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he is doing much better and continues to improve!
Thanks this week is gong a little better
