Michelle Bridges | Day With KT

Today’s 44 was great for balance work. I did squats with a knee raise.

Start with a dumbbell on one shoulder –

ready - make sure you try to look bored! — ready – make sure you try to look bored!

I did all 44 with the right side and then I moved the dumbbell to my left shoulder and did 44 more.

left side - side view — left side – side view

I love moves that provide some toning/strength work but also add in the balance challenge!!

Today was yet another day of Michelle Bridges. I like the program but I don’t think that I will keep doing it every day – too hard to fit in all of the other workouts I want to do.

Some weeks I feel more scattered than others and some days my brain just runs a million directions – today it is all over the place so I thought it would be a great day for some…..

* Thank you so much for all of the great advice on yesterday’s post!! I feel like I have a plan and way to deal with both issues now!!! (Side note: the first couple actually called early this morning and want to meet me AGAIN this morning to “go over details.” I told them that they can drop the contract and full payment in the mail drop and we can meet next week. I had my day already planned and the payment does not have to be hand delivered – plus, I am not going to invest more time until they actually pay.)

* Yesterday we got all the way to 45 degrees and some of the snow finally started melting!!!

look - you can see the grass!!! (even if it is brown) — look – you can see the grass!!! (even if it is brown)

* I had my yearly physical on Wednesday and my DR filled out this Heart Quiz on me. I WON!!! Well, maybe those were my words and not hers but still she was impressed! My LDL and HDL were both 79 which she said is amazing!! And my cholesterol was 158.

* My office (dining room table – same thing, right?!) is a complete and utter mess all the time!!!

Good thing we eat on our kitchen table!!!

* I’m thinking about starting a Bridal Bootcamp at our venue. It wouldn’t be just for brides but the name is catchier that way!!! I’m still working on details and ideas.

* Valentine’s Day is mostly just another day to me. My husband knows – I would far rather get a “mushy” card from him on some random day “just because” than a card on a day that society has turned into a commercial holiday! (just my personal opinion)

* Do you read the 3 Cheap Runners blog?

You should if you don’t – they always have some great stuff over there! And today, you really should check it out because while they are sunning themselves on the beach in the Dominican (I’m not jealous – much!) – I’m guest posting!!

OK – enough rambling for one day!!

What is something random in your world right now?

Happy Friday!!!

Today’s 44 was ~~a stupid choice~~ an elevated push-up with a clap. I used a chair for the elevation.

Clearly these are hard for me!! I think the fact that yesterday was also chest day in the Michelle Bridges program didn’t help!! I only did half (22) on my toes then I dropped to my knees so I could actually still do a push-up (without bending my body so much).

And, even though it’s only day 2, I think it’s safe to say that this Michelle Bridges 12 week program is going to be good for me. The soreness I’m feeling today is rare for me!!!

I am going to have to play around some to try and figure out how to do my daily 44, the February challenge with Taylor (which I’m very excited about!), this new program and plenty of solid running miles!!!

Yesterday the weather forecast for today looked something like the above predictions. The snow was supposed to start falling after midnight and by 6:00 am it was supposed to be coming down at the rate of 1.5″ per hour or more.

Instead, it looks like this outside. The backyard isn’t even covered and the snow on the ground is actually from late Friday night/early Saturday morning.

Barely covering the street and again most of it is because they did not plow on Saturday and we have just been driving on snow the past couple of days.

Even now, no snow is falling at all.

The over-reaction might have happened last night!!!

By dinner time we knew that school was cancelled for today. And, Chris actually got the day off because all Government offices had announced they would be closed today.

Now, don’t get me wrong, if school is going to be cancelled, I prefer to know the night before so that we don’t have to set alarms. However, if we don’t get any snow I think that maybe we could have had school today.

I guess we will just take our bonus day and enjoy it!!!

And, I’m definitely not complaining about the lack of snow – if we only end up with what is on the ground right now then I will be HAPPY!!!

Do you think the decision to cancel school should be made based on a weather prediction or what till it actually happens?
Is it a snow day for you?

Happy Tuesday!!!

An update on the snow –
