Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Cute costume Mary! 

 My fitness age per the fitness test is younger than 20... 

Did incline training on the treadmill tonight plus weights. Happy Halloween to all my favorite spooks!

If you measure in centimeters instead of inches, your 'score' is a lot worse (I knew there was a reason why I always hated the metric system ....gosh I hate these emoticons, they look demented!).

Subbed & then walked in the trees, which was kind of spooky with no leaves. I am now getting lots of exercise running up and down the stairs answering the door for trick-or-treaters. DH finally went to the doctor today & got some drugs. I am hanging in there & staying as far away from him as possible!!!!

Congrats on finishing chemo, soriya. Give yourself a few days to get the crap out of your system....

Cute costume, Mary! I wanted to mention that my sister used to live in Colorado, hence the Broncos sweatshirt. I guess she got paid back for their win by having to watch the Vikings (her other favorite team) with a roomful of Packer Backers!! Ouch!

My fitness age was 47, real age 58. Seriously, you all are measuring your waist in cm, not inches, right? Because when I put in my waist measurement in inches, I was "younger than 20." Anyway, I just walked the dogs.

Cute costume, Nats.

Ruth, glad your husband went to the doc, how are you? Looks like you haven't gotten his bug yet.

Question for anybody who has implants. When you still had your expanders how much upper body exercise did you do, if any at all?

I walked tonight even though I was dodging trick or treaters most of the way. That was after I walked the grandkids around with my DIL first. Also did some upper body stuff on my total gym earlier in the day.

I am being cheap, and ordered a pedometer off of Amazon. It had almost 5000 reviews, and it was almost 5 starts, so I figured I would give it a try before I spend the money on a Fitbit, or a Nike Fuel.

thanks, ruthbru - how are you feeling today?

Congrats, Soriya!

Thank you, _ann_... One year our new fridge stopped working the week before Christmas. Our grown kids wanted to know what we were serving for Christmas dinner. We told them "whatever you bring - we have NO food on hand." That worked so well we were tempted to try it every year...

Thanks, heidihill - you're taking Tango lessons? Strap on that pedometer, Girl!!!

NatsFan - you make a cute baby panda! I remember dressing up at work - kind of miss those fun times...

Goldie - I didn't do much upper body stuff with my expanders in, but I did a lot of walking, biking, and water aerobics. I just modified the water exercises so I could do them.

Well, had a myofascial release massage this morning; felt SO much better afterwards. Went to the nursery and got a bunch of bedding plants for winter color; planted a few before dinner.

Pedometer shows 10,605 steps for today. Wish it was more - had Halloween candy for dinner!

Joy, thinking of your during this time that is difficult all the way around. Have you thought more about moving back to the states? Sending lots of hugs!

On the lighter side, here is how I interpret some of the new emoticons (feel free to add on):

 I have drunk some poison, or eaten spoiled food. Either way, I am about to throw up!

  I have gulped down too much wine, or hit my head against a wall and have a concussion....or maybe one thing led to the other.....

 Someone has stabbed me in the head with a nail!

Why don't you come up and see me sometime, big boy?

I am both very horny AND very crabby.....perhaps I'm a 50 Shades of Gray person?

ruth, LOVE your emoticon dictionary! Lol.

Walked around a huge antique mall for an hour. Not much for cardio, but it's a start back in the right direction.

Yep, Ruth, I think you nailed those new emoticons!

Walked the dogs today and did some housework which I'm totally counting.

Great news! The wine bar crowd LOVED the Pumpkin Ale stewed oxtails. Served with mashed potatoes and carrots. My friend who manages the place said that her chef husband was itching to go, and that I should take that as a compliment.

I woke up with the cold thingy that is going around. Just dragging a bit and a cough. Did my run anyway, but wasn't the most productive day I can remember.... Treating with leftover steak, veggies, wine, and a bit of brandy (plus chrysanthemum tea with honey, a sure sign things are less than optimal). I saved a bit of stew for myself, so may be very glad I did that tomorrow. Can't wait to sleep in.

Not sure about tomorrow. If 35 mph winds, I will bag cycling. But an interesting show at the Frye, and I would love to lay in more fall veggies.

Minimal candy, but at the same time, feel sorry for kiddies who were served "healthy alternatives". One day of indulgence per year! (Note: this should not stretch into months of eating Halloween candy.) It was actually fun eating cheese "bones" snacks. Not to mention, chocolate 'shrooms.

Winter is coming. Snow on Mount Rainier was just spectacular with the setting sun on it. So was the glorious color of the Puget Sound.

Snow in the mountain passes predicted for this weekend.....skiing is around the corner. YAY!!!!!! - Claire

Ruth, love the emoticon dictionary!

My husband is off from work on Friday and Saturday. On Friday we like to run errands to try and avoid crowds. On Saturday is our house day. I usually have a fairly good "honey do" list for him.

I only did some Pilates spot toning this afternoon, and then tonight I babysat my 2 grandsons. I am pooped. 2 little boys for 4 hours is enough exercise for anybody.

Blessings, I got rid of my candy too...lol

Last night I went to bed not feeling good and woke up feeling OK, BUT with no voice (which some would argue is not necessarily a bad thing ).

It was really nice out here so I walked for an hour (at a somewhat scraggily pace) and did a little pilates. Spent the rest of the day washing all the bedding & towels & lysoling every single surface in the house;  including light switches, phones etc. I can't decide if I should try to plow through all the mail next or sit down & enjoy being 'sick'...I do need my voice back so better behave. Next week, I have things that will involve me talking Monday through Wednesday!!!

Did a little mall walking after dinner at Outback. The weather outside is still pretty frightful.

Ruth, watch the voice. I lost my voice for 2 weeks last winter. Finally had to go to an ENT. Never did figure out what caused it, but they more I talked the worse it got. I was put on strict silence for 2 days...lol. My husband loves it.

Walked tonight. Not much else. I did cook a big pot of meat sauce, and then froze individual dinner's for my grandson's. They love my sauce, and their mom is so busy with working, and taking care of both of them, it's the least I can do.

lol. No Bloomin' Onion!! Salad and my fav Alice Springs Chicken. Yummy. Not sure of the calorie count, but we'll see what the scale says in the morning. But I used my juicer for brunch and had some toast to tide me over, soooooo.....(crossy-fingers emoticon)

Saturday treadmill and weights.
