Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Welcome all, KarenAus, Cinque and Texasrose53. This is a great group and does keep you motivated without trying to keep up with anyone except yourself.

Walked for a bit looking at houses with a friend. Now getting ready to take out my bike and maybe workout in the pool later.

20 minutes on the Gazelle Edge.

Short (21 minute) walk tonight since yesterday was a bit intense and today was generally busy.

I've been doing Fitbit challenges with other friends who have one to try to keep motivation up. It seems to help.

Welcome new ladies. We are very glad to see you over here & I love the visual of actually 'getting back into the saddle'......very cool!

I had a busy day; subbed, worked on the (endless) yard project, went to Barre & from there to a volleyball match (which my team thankfully won in 3 sets so that I could go home). Last week someone asked me about how we have a Barre class in small town North Dakota. One of my yoga teachers is always going all over the place to workshops, heard about it, decided it sounded interesting so took a class & got certified to teach it. Lucky for us!!!! So, if you belong to a fitness center, you might suggest it as a class that would draw interest.....or put a bug in the ear of one of your teachers.

The Wednesday Walking Women are going on a field trip to walk at a state park & look at all the leaves changing color. Should be fun!

This thread is great, period, Texasrose.

I went to a Barre class once but felt out of place among the women in their tutus and full makeup. The workout was very good though. The same teacher taught a jazz class next, which was more my pace attirewise, only there were too many moves getting on the floor and quickly back up. Ouch.

Last night was Women's Tango Night. There were only women in the class, except for the teacher. Walking with DD today.

Whew - you miss a week and pages and pages pile up! It's great to see such an active group. I'm working my way through the pages now, so if I've missed anything I'll get caught up.

We had a great time in Tennessee. The baseball wedding was fabulous - the brides is a Mets fan, so the bridesmaids were in Mets blue with orange bouquets. The groom is a Dodgers fan so the groomsmen had Dodger Blue ties and cummerbunds. Even their dogs got into the act - her pug had a little white doggie wedding dress outfit with a Mets logo on it, and the groom's basset hound had a doggie morning coat with the Dodger's logo on it. The flower girls were dressed in League Of Their Own type uniforms, and the flower petals they tossed were Mets and Dodgers colors. They were married outside, and there was a home plate at the spot where they were married. The groom's mom owns land on a hilltop with a fabulous view of the Smokey Mountains, and they have a couple of horses. It was so fun as the horses kept photobombing the wedding pictures! The reception tables had baseball decorations, and at every person's place was a little baseball helmet and a box of Cracker Jack! They had a food truck for the caterer, serving hotdogs, pulled pork sandwiches, cotton candy, etc. Guests were encouraged to wear baseball jerseys and many did. It was lots of fun!

The next day we drove through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg into Smoky Mountain National Park up to a peak where the Tennessee/North Carolina state lines run along the mountain ridge, so we were briefly in North Carolina by about 10 feet. I waved to you, Wonder - did you see me?

And yes, we did get exercise. We found a lovely state park with trails, so we did a 6 mile run on trails. Lots of inclines as we were in the foothills, so it was a good workout!!!

Been keeping up with our running clinic schedule - 6.5 miles Saturday, and 5 miles of track interval work last night. Whew!

As you can see, the pug was NOT at all happy in her wedding dress!

Where we went running - it's an old farmstead that's now a bird sanctuary.

Table centerpieces

Groom's cake (shaped like Dodger Stadium)

DH and me on top of Old Smoky - this one's for you, Wonder!

Nats, wedding sounds like it was tons of fun. Thanks for sharing details.

Leslie Sansone 4-mile walk this morning, now off to the pool. Oops, 85 degrees outside but looks like clouds moving in so maybe will bike instead. One or the other.

Nats, neat pictures! Looks like everyone had a great time (except the dog!).

Heidi, nobody in my class wears tutus OR makeup (it's 6:30 pm, so any makeup applied earlier in the day has worn off long before then). Yikes! I wouldn't have stayed either.

Zumba & yoga tonight.

3 mile walk with Leslie Sansone group this morning. May ride bike after Bible Study this afternoon.

2 hours moving about in pool. Ready to hit the bed and it's only 7pm.

Welcome to all the new ladies!

Nats: I thought that was you waving to me. The wedding sounds so unique and FUN!!! Love the picture of the pug.

Ruth: Oh my! I can't imagine.

Been busy painting/decorating more pumpkins for a fundraiser for the senior day care in town. Dd is helping me now. Just finished the 33rd one last night.

We had lots of rain but no flooding like the coast and areas of South Carolina. Yesterday and today have been beautiful so I walked/ran both evenings.

Mary the wedding looks like it was so much fun and the theme is right up your alley. My gosh Ruth, what a workout that must have been and an unexpected one at that. Sorry you've picked up a bug Claire hope it passes quickly. Wonderland glad you are safe.

Body Jam tonight.

Hi all-

Ran first mile in over a year! It went pretty well. Yay!

(My foot has been bothering me- stress fracture aches. I think fish oil might be helping. Also I took an ibuprofen in advance. ).

I'm on and off this board but so happy you all are doing so great! It's encouraging just seeing it in my favorites:)

Welcome, momwriter!

DH is out of town for the day, so the rock pile will sit until tomorrow. (I have a renewed respect for manual laborers!)

Today I subbed, took a long walk, & am now going to do a pilates DVD.

Happy Weekend!

I only get to exercise in the mornings. Early work meeting meant nothing for me today.

Tonight packing for Cub Scout camp out tomorrow. Wished I'd put on my phone in my running thing to count all my steps and flights of stairs. I know I haven't gone far, but way more floors than it currently shows. 2nd floor to basement to attic many times tonight is helping to make up for hardlymoving out of my desk chair all day.

Ruth 6tons?! Tell DH next time to order some heavy equipment to do with that.

Wonderland your pumpkins are amazing.
