Let's Post our Daily Exercise

This can be our motto!

Patoo - LOL on the combo of colonoscopy prep and untreated allergies - you poor thing. Hope all goes well and you have years before your next one.  Still - fabulous run - 11 minute miles for 12 miles is amazing.  Nihahi - good luck on the nip recon.  cdelv66 - hooray on getting that last drain out!

Lilac - thanks for the links to those online fitness sites.  I'm going to share them in this week's newsletter to my Rec Century Challenge participants. 

30 minutes yoga this morning. 

Wishing easy healing to all.

Today's exercise - an hour walk/hike with hubby and lots of preparations for Passover.

Happy Holidays to everyone for Easter and Passover.

Oh Patoo - so happy to hear it's all behind you!  No pun intended.  ROFL 

patoo - I'm anal enough (no pun intended...lol) that I calculated the percentage of my weight loss from colonscopy prep.  At that particular moment in time just before beginning the prep I was approximately 2.7% poop!  Guess there's a reason my eyes are brown .  Glad it all went well for you.

Warrior_Woman - you should do an Energizer battery commercial.  I think you could outdo that lame-ass bunny any day!

Great job, everyone!!!

I heard your voices, but we had a power outage this morning. High winds, limbs falling. 

I did not create liquid awesome because I had to work tonight...and no power = no shower!!! 

Omg, I hurt. Stupid back. Last Monday I bent down to pick up my runners and my lower back went twang. But I still went to class on monday and Wednesday. This morning I hobbled in to work and my boss says, enough of this go to the sports medical clinic - here's the phone number call now. 

So I did and doc says I separated my tailbone from my pelvis. All the muscley bits are inflamed and I am over stressing the ligaments to compensate. 

So it was exercise class day. I went and told the instructor what was up. She devised a new program till this clears up. 

Okay, 15 mins treadmill, 40 mins resistance and weights and 15 mins stretching. I know it's good for me but I do ache tonight. 

Patoo, sorry you had to go thru that but happy that it's over.

Still, wow, I say it again. Wow!!! Good going

Warrior Woman, can I be you when I grow up? Please?

Patoo, glad things came out ok .....lol

Nihahi, hope your nipple recon went well also. 

Warrior Woman, you are awesome! Stillrunning, sounds like you are ready for your half. Great times. 

Completed 30 minutes on the treadmill today after work. Scoot over Ruth so I can watch DWTS too!!!!

Happy Monday all.

I think loseit.com is going to recall my badges!

Didn't get a walk in today, but did get my last drain removed and made an appt for physical therapy.  Did anyone do PT after their breast surgery?

This morning did Sh'bam and tonight drove with a friend to a gym where my young Vietnamese friend was  part of a Body Combat launch team so did Body Combat. Tonight is my UK friends last night in the US so when I came home went out to eat ughhhhhh.

Cdelv66, I did a once a week pt for a year starting a month after surgery and found it helped greatly, especially since for me a side effect was frozen left shoulder.  Sarah my therapist was also very supportive as well during the mood swinging, vulnerable time (for me) of getting used to the life change.  Nice to see your pretty smile. Ann, I too would switch to running or power walking for the sake of giving your shoulder a chance to recover. Patoo, good to read all went well, Nihahi wishing you a smooth, easy recovery.  Mary/NatsFan, and Inspired, I thought those websites were amazing and go for it Mary - pass it on as we say elsewhere.

6:45am yoga and afterwards body balance at the busy gym this morning.

We FINALLY had a sunny weekend, and I made sure I got out.  Saturday was a Seattle day, so off to a funeral for one of the priests of my former church.  He succumbed to prostate cancer, so of course I had to ask the question of "why was I spared"?  Our former rector came down from Vancouver to give the sermon which was wonderful.  I think she is enjoying her new role as bish.

Lots of running around Seattle, and a major power walk from resale shop to church.  I wouldn't have made the service without  the running.  Then coffee with a friend and off to the wine bar.  I bus it in, as cheaper and no parking problems.  I think the 4 or so miles of power walking count as exercise.

Sunday was a 35 mile ride in the sunshine, and a 5k run yesterday evening post getting my estimated taxes out the door.  I think I have figured out the formula going forward: make more money/take cost out of my living expenses.  I think both will happen this year.  Quite sure about the first, and I had a great Q1.  Actually, I made more money last year than I had thought back in January, so ended up owing some taxes.  I got my big commission check just in the nick of time.

I am doing the tulip ride on Saturday.  That is always fun.  And I will follow church on Easter with an exploration of the path that runs along the Lower Snoqualmie River.  It's a dirt path, so need my hybrid.  Discovered it coming back via a new route from my Sunday ride.

Took care of the planters on my deck, getting rid of the dead foliage and adding in geraniums.  They look gorgeous now, which is not how I would have described them 24 hours ago.

Happy spring everyone!  I need to get moving for work, and because I have a dinner tonight.  Need to remove my bicycle from my car and put in my folding chairs! - Claire

Didn't get to see the eclipse as it was raining cats and dogs all night. I was sorry to miss it.

Pilates this morning.  My monthly manual lymph drainage massage is this afternoon.  I find that scheduling a monthly "maintenance" session to have a professional move accumulated lymphatic fluid out has been of great benefit to keeping my LE from flaring too badly, especially my truncal LE.  Of course I have to self-pay because insurance will only pay for PT when the goal is to make progress towards a resolution of the issue - maintenance sessions for chronic conditions are not covered.  Grrrrrr.

80 minute walk with my husband along the beach front.  The humidity is up and it was hot!

It was a bit much for me.
