Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Nihahi beautiful gorgeous pictures.  Maybe if I was looking at that I'd still appreciate snow but I'm looking at some dead grass and some piles of dirty icy snow and I can't wait for it to be gone.  I'm really hoping even though its still below freezing much of the time that we won't see any more.  Every year I have to remind myself that March is still winter.

Yesterday the only exercise I got was trudging through Target.  Today I did walk though.  Sweet, I have been suffering from unexplained fatigue.  I don't know if it was being half sick and daylight savings time or what but it has kicked my butt!

How awful about the freezer Ruth. 

For those struggling with fatigue, I hope it gets better soon. Maybe if we ever get any sunshine and Spring temps ......

Special shout out to Cheryl. Hope you are ok post earthquake. Thought of you as soon as I heard about it. 

Exercise for me today was an hour of shovel and sculpt plus a 30 minute treadmill walk at lunchtime. 

Edited to add "Happy Saint Patrick's Day" everyone !!!!

Ruth, you are too funny!  Nihali, love your pictures.  Interestingly when I look at pictures like the second one I get really queasy (sp?) as though I'm actually on the edge; almost dizzy.  pat01, I'm worse than you as I've been watching the classes, body sculpt, Zumba, Spin, forever and have been too chicken to join in.  Actually I did try Spin twice and my backside hurt so bad I didn't go back.  Maybe will get up the courage to try zumba or spin again.  The body sculpt has so many moves/positions that I really can't do because of my hip.  To modify it would have me inventing a whole different class!

Yesterday went to gym and did stat bike, treadmill and upper/lower body weights in quick 1-hour workout.  Tonight has only been housework, vacuuming and laundry.  Have also been battling intermittent fatigue. 

Snow did not get this far north in NJ - YAY!

Night my sculpted friends.

We posted this earlier, but just wanted to give one more shout out.....some of us are planning a California trip this spring. Badger, sweetandspecial, patoo and I are flying out to meet up with hbcheryl in Southern California. After a couple days, we will make our way up the coast and join Natsfan in San Francisco for a little Northern California fun. The dates are May 31 to June 8 (or any part thereof.....or longer, Natsfan is staying an extra day to go to a baseball game). If you're interested, PM one of us.  If you are already in California, let us know and we will try to figure out a way to meet up. Ann is going to do so!

Worked on core yesterday with the trainer - he gave me a routine I can easily do at home, and wants me to do it twice a week - this I can do!  Also got some elliptical in before training - I always find the elliptical very difficult, much prefer doing walk/jog intervals on the treadmill.  Some classical stretch this morning, and the sun is out, though very cold, but I see a lunchtime walk in my future.

sun......????? what's "sun"???? (sob).....

sorry for the stink, ruth....other than the vinegar and time routine....I've got no help for you. Maybe you could call an appliance store and ask them? You can get freezer alarms, that sound off when power fails, might be something to consider for the future?

5 km walk yesterday...hoping for a run, but we had "sneet".....(combo of snow and sleet)....now everything looks rather glazed over again.....and........it's snowing.......AGAIN......(sob, sob, sob).

Ruth - I've heard that you can crumple up newspapers and put them in a stinky freezer or fridge for a few days, and that will help take care of the smell.  

Brought workout clothes to hit dreadmill tonight.  I wish I could wave a magic wand and make the snow go away!

About Ruth's post and the California trip this June - I really hope some of you will consider joining us.  As wonderful as it is to get to know everyone on line, it's so much better being with everyone in person.  It's a fun, welcoming group - adverturesome and up for anything. 

i'm running around in a tizzy trying to get ready to leave on a 2-week bicycle trip to and through Mississippi; pack for winter?  Pack for summer?  Some climate in between?  In addition to that, i squeezed in a long walk & some PT.

Ruth--Febreze for the freezer?

To those of you upon whom it snowed: are the crocuses poking through anyway?

Ruth did you try bleach?  That would be my first try and then vinegar. 

Having a slightly warm spell so I walked with my son and dog this evening. 

A little walking today....but.....drumroll.....

It's supposed to be 50 tomorrow!!! So excited!!! I'm going to try the first day of the C25K program in our driveway. I have to avoid ice at the top, a puddle in the middle and a lot of mud at the end, but I WILL run outside!!!!!  (Mad face is because I wanted to start two weeks ago. Lol.)

Not sure if this link will work.....but I'm pretty sure the snowshoes and skis are done for now!!!!

sounds like a shameful waste of a good cuppa joe!

A walk with hills and weights today.

5K training, day one?

Completed. In the rain. (Liquid awesome from the outside??)

Ice, rain, mud, 37 degrees....Proud of myself! This NEVER would have happened in the first 47 years. Lol.

I looked out the window and a voice in my head said, "You can have results or you can have excuses. But you can't have both!" I think I'll ask DH to make me a t-shirt with that on it. 

Nihahi - wow - grizzlys!  I'll take my meek little black bears we get at our cabin any day - they're so shy you can chase them off just by banging a few pans together.  Can't do that with a grizzly, or at least live to tell about it. Dulci - fabulous workout!  You should be very proud! And you're right - that's a great mantra. 

Just scheduled my colonoscopy for April 8th - not looking forward to that prep again.    But I saw a report recently that said that the incidence of colon cancer has dropped significantly and they attribute it to more people having colonoscopies and polyps being removed before they cause issues.  My dad had (& survived) colon cancer, but that puts me into a higher risk category so I'm stuck going through it every few years.    

30 minutes elliptical this morning.  Yin yoga scheduled for tonight.
