Thanks for joining me and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. Happy and Merry everything to you all! Hope you are all doing the things you love with the people you love. We are spending time with our favorite people in one of our happy places. Stay tuned for lots of sunset pics.Here’s a peek into my week.
Happy and Merry Weekly Run Down
Sunday-Beach walk + core
We were wiped from the travel day yesterday and enjoyed a lovely sleep in. There is nothing better than starting the day off with a walk along the beach. Thankfully it was not too crowded. These gorgeous sunset pics never get old!
Monday-morning walk + core + upper body and lap swimming
I love starting my day here with a peaceful walk along the water. That was followed by a core class and a short upper body class. We only have 10 pound weights here so I’m doing what I can and following my own holiday rule…Keep up the frequency of workouts even if I need to alter the intensity and duration of them.
Later, I remembered how much I love swimming laps here. We will see if I can keep that going this week as well.
Tuesday-morning walk + core + upper body class
It was another gorgeous morning for a walk along the beach followed by 2 core classes and an upper body class. I’m making due with only having 5 and 10 lb weights.
That evening we went to one of our favorite spots to watch the sunset and have a nice dinner. Nothing better than dining with your feet in the sand and water.
Wednesday-morning walk + core + upper body strength + swim
I took a longer morning walk over the monument for sailors. The sun did not cooperate with my photos. Later, It was another core class and a swim.
Thursday-morning walk + core
Merry Christmas to you all! I started off my day in paradise with another beach walk and core class. It was kind of a lazy ready by the pool day!
Friday-morning walk + core
It was another gorgeous day in paradise! I’m enjoying my morning walks along the beach listening to peloton walks and podcasts from Peter Attia. Later, we hung out at this exquisite spot for lunch.
Saturday-Today we are moving to the other side of the island and getting ready for our kids and their significant others to join us. Can’t wait to see them all!
Hope you all have had the chance to spend time with those you love and cherish this week too! Happy and Merry from sunny Aruba.
Lovely to see some sun in your photos! Hope you continue to have a wonderful time.
Thanks so much and happy holidays to you
It looks so beautiful and WARM there! Enjoy your time with your family and bring some of that sunshine back to the US. Please…
I will sure try!
As Wendy said bring done sun back to the US.
Our weather has been miserable.
So soak it up and enjoy.
will sure try to!
Your pictures are stunning – enjoy every second of your time in Aruba! Have fun with the kids this week!
yes I am excited to have them here
As always, what amazing photos! I love following along with your trip each year. It’s so great to see the sunshine and imagine having dinner on a beach at this time of year especially. Good job making due with what equipment you have! Love the lap swimming!
It’s our favorite time of the year with them all!
What a sunny & merry week on such a beautiful place!! Those sunsets (and sunrises? ) would have me never going inside 🙂 Enjoy week #2!!
The sunsets never get old and are so pretty over the ocean. Truthfully have not seen the sunrise 🙂
Sounds like a fabulous time!
I’m sure your consistent workouts are doing more than you think even if the weights are lighter than you can handle.
Enjoy your family time!
Yes that’s my plan! It’s good to give the body a break at the end of the year
Sounds like you are having a wonderful and relaxing holiday! Wishing you a happy new year!
thanks and happy new year to you!
AHHHH this looks amazing! Glad you are enjoying the beautiful weather. And yes- continuing with workouts even if you have to modify them is the key. Have fun with your kids!
thanks it has been a great week together
Looks like some relaxing times at Aruba! Being consistent and working with what equipment and opportunities we have while away is key. Enjoy those lovely beach walks!
Yes it was nice to have a break and the daily walks are so nice
Ah, it looks amazing. And what, there is sun? I have forgotten what that looks like. Such dreary weather here in Ohio right now! Enjoy your time there. Those dining spots look pretty great.
It’s been a nice and sunny few weeks!
Wow your trip looks amazing. I love that you’re still being active and love what you said about keeping up the frequency of your workouts, even if you vary time and intensity! So smart to keep a routine!
Enjoy the beautiful beaches and sunsets for ALL OF US!
the sunsets never get old!
