Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down today. Baby it’s cold out there this week! Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and fashion and life. I did attend a number of inaugural parties this past week. If that upsets you, feel free to ignore my photos.
Weekly Run Down
Sunday-Peloton full body workout + core + barre
I had access to a fabulous hotel gym that was surprisingly not too crowded. The best part was that I was able to try out some heavier barbells and weights than I have at home. It felt amazing! Later, we had some more inaugural events to attend. The weather did not cooperate with snow and sleet and freezing temps-it’s cold out there!
Monday-barre glute class + core
I only had time for a short workout today before getting dressed for another event.
Tuesday- peloton tread walk + core + barre
Back home and exhausted but it always feels good to move. I was happy to get back at it today. It’s still so cold here! We are not used to this weather.
Wednesday-Peloton wall + full body strength + core
It was nice to get back into my n normal Wednesday routine with a longer, harder workout. I had fun trying out these sparkly, ankle and wrist weights. I really like the extra challenge they offer for core and Pilates classes.
Thursday-Peloton hike + core
It was a balmy 11 degrees this morning and thus way too cold to go for my walk outside. The sidewalks around me are still a sheet of ice. Anyway, I did have a nice challenging tread hike.
Friday-Peloton hike + upper body + core strength
I felt good to get in a nice heavy strength workout. We donated a wine dinner at the American Heart Association auction a few months back and it was tonight. I was very happy with my table scape and it was fun to meet some new friends who won the dinner.
Saturday – outdoor walk + lower body strength
It was finally a balmy 33 degrees which seemed so much warmer. I really missed my outdoor time and was happy to get out for a nice walk before returning home to do some lower body strength.
It was a really cold week for us around here! I’m looking forward to a slightly warmer and much more boring week ahead.
Susanne says
Yay for some extra heavy weights! I know you’re much into that too.
I heard about the cold snap in the US… and it was part of what caused the bad storm we had this week. Hope it warms up for you soon. I can totally relate to missing the outdoors. I’m itching to go out walking but have only managed a few short walks during January because of weather.
Deborah Brooks says
I do miss the outdoors so much when I am stuck inside
Catrina says
You dress up really well, Deborah! You look amazing.
What did you make for the wine dinner?
Deborah Brooks says
thanks so much Cat! It was fun for a change. We had a pasta course and steak course it was fun
Darlene Cardillo says
You think it’s cold. Come visit me. Lol.
I hope it warms up for both of us.
Btw. You looked awesome for your parties.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks it was fun to dress up and go. Hope we both warm up
Wendy says
The cold seems to be a theme for all of us this week! It was in the 30s yesterday in Wisco and it felt like summer, lol
Deborah Brooks says
The 30’s does feel warm after what we have had
Marcia says
The extreme cold limited my time outdoors this past week as well. Yesterday it hit 40 and it felt amazing! Looks like a busy and fun week!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, I am ready for a boring week ahead
Debbie says
I was living vicariously through you and your lovely pictures over last weekend. You looked gorgeous! Glad it’s finally warming up. We escaped to Florida – we’ve had a couple of chilly days, but it’s turned a corner into the 70’s now.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks so much it was fun to dress up and go despite the weather. Hope you Fla weather cooperates for you
Coco says
How cool that you donated a wine dinner and got to enjoy it with friends. You do set a lovely table! Will you be around for Lawyers Have Heart this year?
Deborah Brooks says
thanks it was fun to do! I am not sure I have to check the date
Kimberly Hatting says
Such a busy week for you (and the hubby)! You guys look so elegant and dashing, how fun 😉 WHAT IS UP WITH THE WEATHER??? We’re all getting hit with cold and less-than-desirable conditions. At least we know it won’t last forever…right? I need to look into those wrist/ankle eights…they look like a great addition to ones fitness arsenal.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks we had lots of fun dressing up and going to some cool parties despite the weather. Yes, you know I love all the gear!
Jenny says
Hey, we didn’t vote for the same person but I would never ignore your photos! You look FABULOUS! And, you hosted this wine dinner? Your tablescape is amazing.
Nice job getting in your workouts despite the travel and the COLD. Hope it warms up a bit for you this week.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Jenny I appreciate that more than you know xo
Jenn says
That wine dinner looks phenomenal! I love the fairy lights.
Cold was the theme this week, I think. We all just are trying to get through it in whatever degrees we are enduring.
You look beautiful.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Jenn appreciate that! yes it sure was cold everywhere last week!
Cari says
Would never ignore your photos. I actually missed the Monday dress. That’s a fun one and would coordinate well with your iridescent weights I loved 😀 Glad the hotel gym was a good one, they can be so hit or miss. Glad you had a tropical heatwave today!
Love your table. So pretty. You are so the entertainer.
So great to catch up this week.xx
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and always great to catch up with you
Melissa says
You’re gorgeous!! You look fabulous in all those amazing dresses. Glad you got to enjoy a good hotel gym – you never know if it’s going to be anything more than a treadmill and 4 handweights lol. Sounds like you were cold like we were – but still warmer than negative 2 that we had earlier this week! Hopefully it continues to warm up and stay warm for you.
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Melissa! Yes not as cold as you were and we are warming up this week
San says
You clean up well 🙂 Glad you had a good week!
Brrr, what’s up with the cold temps in all the wrong places?
