Let's Post our Daily Exercise

badger and TwoHobbies - thanks for explaining the Voices!  I guess I've heard them already since that's what got me motivated to do 20 minutes on the stationary bike today!  Also more laundry today and a little walking around the grocery store.

Ann - I just recently looked into the LiveStrong classes, but haven't signed up yet.  I'd like to try them if they offer them when I'm able to go, but I think they are offered while I am at work.  It looks like a good program.

LilacBlue - congrats on the tulip planting!  I love tulips and was just thinking I should plant some this year.

Hi Ann!!! So happy to see you over here!!!!! We will pump you up!

Hi there. Ginger sorry about your F-I-L, hope you and your hubby are doing okay.

Welcome to Ann, Mel and Auroaya. It's been a while since I've been able to post regularly so I haven't had a chance to greet you yet. Hope you all begin hearing the voices loud and clear, some days it was the only thing that kept me exercising. 

Yesterday I spent most of the day in the kitchen doing down salsa, chili sauce and spaghetti sauce base. Only 8200 steps and no nighttime walk because I was bushed.

Today was better, played 18 holes with my DH, finished up the sauces, went to my gd's birthday party, and am now sitting on my kiester typing on the computer. 14,050 steps so far today.

Have a lovely evening.

thanks everyone. It was a rough weekend but my father-in-law passed away this afternoon and is no longer suffering. His lung cancer had spread everywhere! We will miss him but he is much better off. 

I did get in a 4.6 mile run this morning and found some running gear on clearance in kohl's so I am more prepared for cooler weather. 

I am so sorry, Ginger.

Ginger, may he rest in peace. My condolences to you and your DH.

The Voices - they are oh-so-sweet.

Walked in the woods with DH yesterday.

Wish I was allowed to vaccuum! There is a layer of black dog hair on my carpet.

Walked 5 miles last night, going to attempt week 2 of Couch to 5k today.

Ginger, very sorry for your loss.

Just catching up after my weekend adventure. I am so sorry Ginger about your FIL. I lost my mother that way, and fortunately she went sooner rather than later.

I am definitely feeling the two 50 mile rides each day, and especially yesterday which had rolling hills with the "up" direction going into a headwind. I had to walk two short sections. Fortunately, a tail wind for the last 10 miles or so. Just the most glorious country, and will post pictures later. Yesterday was a real banner day for activity as drove back 4 hours after doing the 50 miles. I took the longer route via Chinook Pass as I have never driven the entire road and it's only open 3-4 months of the year. When I saw the drops down to the valley below, I understood why no attempts to keep open. It may have been the shorter time-wise depending on traffic back via I-90.

Bed was very welcome after two days sleeping in a tent, but that was great fun. So was all the wine tasting, but I did less as opposed to more. There was no shortage of opportunities.

Before last year, I wouldn't have been fit enough to do yesterday's ride, so very proud of myself that way. This includes my 20s. Saturday's was just amazingly beautiful as we set off westward as we could see both Mt Adams and Mt Rainier in the distance, although more than 50 miles away. Yesterday, we had amazing views of the Yakima River as we took the highway back. Earlier, cycling past vineyards, hop fields, all sorts of dairy and beef cattle, and various crops.

The most fun will be saying when someone mentions something about the wine coming from, say the Wahluke Slope, being able to boast "I've cycled there".

Off to do my crunches routine and get dressed for work. I think I will do a couple more long rides this season, but no more events. I don't want to drive any long distances for a while either. About 800 miles in 8 days is enough. - Claire

Dear Ginger, so sorry to hear of your father in laws passing. You are all in my thoughts bad prayers.

Ginger, sorry to hear about FIL. May he rest in peace!

Zumba. Hectic day which isn't done yet, can not linger!

1 hour of LiveStrong class. Weight machines, stationary bike and walking. Felt good.

Ginger I am so sorry for your loss. 

Today would have been the 80th birthday of a dear friend of mine who I had not seen for many years and who passed away several years back so I did a 3 mile walk to local lake (and a little jogging) and sat and watched the young sailors finishing up for the day. My friend loved sailing and would have enjoyed watching and chatting to them. 

This morning I had 30 minutes of what I suppose would be some sort of cross or circuit training with a personal trainer. I have 2 more sessions left. Its a mixture of weights and cardio.  

Yesterday I did a 5k on the treadmill again. I just missed making 42 mins. I must have been a funny sight, huffing and puffing at the end!! Thought I would blow a gasket LOL

Can't face the scales though. I think I have likely gained another pound or two...

Great job getting out there today everyone! The fatigue really set in for me and the most I could manage was a mile walk with my dog.

GInger, sorry for your loss.  ((hugs))

Welcome Ann, this is a great group: supportive, encouraging & motivating.

Mary, so happy for your team!  Yes the Brewers lost but as you said, any day at the ballpark is a good day.  The Jumbotron showed the Nats piling on the pitcher (who's a WI native, we have to take our comfort somewhere LOL) at the end of the game. There was an article in the paper that described how the crowd roared with each pitch.  I smiled as I pictured you & M in Nats Park with ear-to-ear grins, hooting & hollering along with thousands of happy fans. 

Walked after supper last night.  Took today off work to drive DH to an appt.  Will walk later, once he settles in and sleeps.  We won't go out tonight so someone have a margarita for me! ♥ to all
