Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Thanks mysunshine. I think you're right. I had an endoscopy once but they gave me twilight sedation. Ds has to have Gen. Anes. with intubation because of the asthma. We haven't told him yet. I'm hoping he'll ask questions Friday but if not we'll wait to tell him.

I'm now pathetically competing with 19yo dd on the Fitbit. We get weekly comparisons but it's soooo unfair. She gets to wear hers during soccer practice and totally puts me to shame. LOL

They need a water proof Fitbit that counts swimming. I'm taking that back up this winter to help with my ROM and overall recovery.

Walked around in the mall last night while hubby was at his dental appointment.

Just under 10 miles on the bike. Cooled down at home for about an hour but mid-90's here - time to head out to the pool.

Gonna do the workout I had planned for last night which got postponed because of hubby's dental appointment. At least I did some walking in the mall while he was in the dentist's chair.

Have been MIA just busy but keeping up with the exercise, did Grit Strength last Wednesday, Body Pump and Grit Cardio Thursday, Zumba Friday, rest day Saturday, Body Combat and Body Flow sunday, insane crazy zumba last night and Grit Strength this morning - my BFF is in from Tennessee so it's girls catch-up tonight at the Cheesecake Factory tonight.

There is a waterproof tracker called Moov, it's new on the market and not expensive. Outrunning your DD is gorgeous, spending time together creating memories is a wonderful way to spend your day. Patoo you sure are taking advantage of your surroundings. Scottie I get the "competition" bit, I compete with myself then I completely forget to wear it and get mad at myself - like today when I realized I didn't have it on and I was in a class where my heart rate jumps at the warm up and stays up till the cool down, oh well. Sweet so sorry to hear about your MIL. Nats that photo is eerily beautiful. Ruth I know what a wonderful person you are so I can only imagine the kind of teacher you were/are what a lovely testament to you all that she is your Homecoming Queen. On Saturday my friends and I went to a dance performance at a local Performing Arts School, firstly their theatre rivals any of the "big" ones around here and it has inspired me to be on the lookout for productions they put on - stars of stage and screen start somewhere so I intend to support these kids. LB sorry we weren't able to get together but it was lovely to speak with you while you were here and I certainly hope you weren't on AA cause I know someone who worked the LAX/LHR flight last week, best wishes for your next chapter, you will do great.

50 minute walk with my little grand-dog today.

Hi everyone, had a lovely walk around the lake this afternoon after a busy morning. About 7000 steps by bedtime, which is nearing my personal goal.

I do feel better when I move so I'm focusing on that.

Ruth, love the picture and story. Speaks volumes about the youth there.

Wil definitely try roasting some veggies after the tips!

Spent Sunday as a rest day but have been back to bootcamp tonight and last night. Tonight's class featured lots of Indian runs which are my least favorite exercise so tomorrow will likely be a walk to ease stiffness.

Have a good night all

PT and taxes today (yes I mean 2014 before extension runs out). I think both should count as exercise. Did manage 6,100 steps today.

Badger- I'm so sorry about Chris.

Cheryl - your schedule wears me out just reading about it. Ruth - a kettlebell workout would be nothing for you after hefting those cement blocks! Scottie - sweating over taxes definitely counts as a workout!

Last Nats game of the season for us last night. They lost (par for the course this year) but it was a lovely night, and even a bad night at a baseball game beats a good night pretty much anywhere else as far as I'm concerned! We took the Metro to Union Station, then walked down to the ballpark and back. It's about 2 miles each way, and one of my favorite walks because we walk in historic Capitol Hill, and as part of the walk we pass right next to the Capitol. We saw lots and lots of security being put in place because of the Pope - he's addressing Congress tomorrow, so they were already putting up security fencing and sealing off the area. The Capitol dome is undergoing a renovation and is covered in scaffolding. It looks kind of yucky during the day, but there's a neat effect at night - I took this last night as we walked by.

Badger, I am so sorry about Chris. I didn't know her but know of her and she seemed like a real spitfire. So, so sad.

Badger - so sorry about Chris. Pontiac Peggy from the arimidex thread just lost her DH to cancer too.

Ruth - quite a crowd today!

Another 45-50 minute walk with grandpuppy today. Hope to get clearance next week for at least slightly more strenuous activity. Fall weight loss challenge began at the office today so I went in for my official weigh- in. One word - CRAP!! Good thing is it's a percentage of weight lost measurement so I do have an advantage over many others starting out🙌

Outrunning - I had cording and later developed full-blown lymphedema. Unfortunately no one told me that some studies show that cording is associated with the later development of lymphedema, so I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. I would suggest that you find a qualified Lymphedema Therapist. Overdoing upper body can definitely trigger LE, and since you've had two nodes removed you're at an increased risk, so you definitely want to be cautious.

The LE section here on BCO is excellent, and there's a wonderful website about all things LE: http://www.stepup-speakout.org/ Here's their section on cording: http://www.stepup-speakout.org/Cording_and_Axillary_Web_Syndrome.htm

I'm staying out of DC today and tomorrow with all the Pope traffic nightmares!!!!! If I want to watch the Pope, I'll do it from the comfort of my couch.

Thanks Nats. I gave that a read. And here with only two nodes removed I thought I was safe from the lymphedema issues. Silly me.

I honestly don't know how you all do it - I've increased my walking ( double ) and tonight I'm completely exhausted.

Appreciate all the inspiration!
