What's My Workout?

One of the first blog posts I did was about what my workout was.  However, that has changed as my life has changed so I thought I would fill you in some.  I have been VERY honest with you guys and my motivations since May has been *ahem, cough, cough* lacking.  However, I still try/attempt/strive to get moving at least five days a week.  Here's how that looks. 
Monday/Wednesday/Friday (really whatever days end up working): A friend and I meet to walk/run for an hour.  We normally get 3 to 4 miles in.  Some days we are slower and some days we are faster.  I love it because we also get to catch up so the time flies.  
Tuesday/Thursday (really the opposite days of my walk) I attempt to do a dvd with either weights, Pilates, or Yoga.  I honestly LOVE this workout and have asked for this set for Christmas.

I have also just used several of the weight workouts that Lynette and I have posted here on this blog!  
My workouts have obviously changed as the challenge of looking for a house to buy added some stress.  Now the stress of packing and waiting on a closing date has settled over the house.  Added to that, my bootcamp membership expired and I didn't want to renew while things were up in the air.  Then, I bought a Groupon for a yoga studio and that expired.  So now I am just winging it, and I LOVE it!  I am working out at my own pace, whenever I have the time.  Some days I only have thirty minutes; other days I have longer, and that's okay!  
What are your workouts looking like?

My Great-Grandmother

Everybody has a character in their family.  You know the person that everyone respects and admires while they chuckle and love them at the same time.  For my family that was Nonnie.  
I got the pleasure of taking care of Nonnie before she died.  By being in that position I was able to get to know her a whole lot better.  Therefore, my respect and admiration for her grew.  
Nonnie was 99 when she died.  She was planning on spending her birthday on the beach and, "no it wasn't going to be in a, "d*** wheelchair!" 
Nonnie ate her vegetables, everyday; in real butter. 
She ate eggs, all of it not just the whites. 
The lady MOVED!
She did laps in the pool. 
When she could no longer safely get in the pool she walked.  
Yes, at the age of 99 she went for a walk with her walker around the neighborhood.  
When we went to the grocery store I had to literally jog to keep up with her.  
I want to be like Nonnie when I grow up, a mover and a shaker!
