Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Scottie, great pictures. My niece and nephew had a collage of photos of the two of them made for my niece's senior year photos, and it's one of those keepsakes you have forever.

I'm counting the hour and a half I spent helping sweep and bag leaves today.

Nothing today.

Ginger - not in love with the CPAP yet but I think I'm sleeping better. Still sensing a bit of apnea so need to talk to the oxygen place and have them bump up the pressure to the next notch. I'm currently at the lowest end of what my sleep doc recommended. They can do everything remotely.

Night all

I am off to San Antonio for a week, so think exercise will be scarce. The group I am with don't do things like walk. Perhaps I can sneak in the gym. Hoping I can squeeze in a bit of something. Will be manning our table at the Society for Neuro Oncology conference. So very exciting to see what some of the best minds are up to.

I will be doing some airport walking today as going in via public transport. Got in a run yesterday. Bicycle is in the shop. I need a new cassette and chain, and great news is that the old cassette can't be exactly replaced. The replacement will have different gearing which will give me an extra low gear for hills!!! I have always had to work harder than everyone else, as I lacked the really low gear.

I am thinking about new skis too. Looked at them yesterday and a new set of what I need (lightweight, edges, boots with support) is $400.

I may not be using the bicycle for a while, based on temps around here. Skiing for Thanksgiving????

Catch up with everyone in a week. - Claire

A lot of house cleaning today, but hope to get a walk outside later when it cools off. This month is making records of being exceptionly hot in Florida. It usually is a little cooler by now. I am going to north Florida for 10 days over Thanksgiving, and looking forward to lots of walks with my daughter.

Happy Monday!

Week 3 Day 1 of C25K for me today

Lovely pix Mary.

I am sooo looking forward to hiking in the Okefenokee next week. Dd just got a new job (her first) so she's going to have to work next week and won't be able to join us. Also I lost sleep thinking about her staying here alone while we were at a cabin with little to no cell coverage (unplugging was the whole point). So I booked a suite about 30 miles from the swamp where dh and I and 13yo will have all the amenities and still be able to daytrip to the swamp. Oh well, maybe a cabin next year.

At the gym trying to regain 4th place in my work Fitbit group.

Scottie

Fitbit is awesome - last year I was riding my bike to work every day and my fitbit came off my wrist. I was crying on FB (I know y'all can't imagine that!) and someone said to contact FB, that they'd replace it. Yup. If you lose your Fitbit, they'll replace it. My dog chomped the little battery thingy, I'm wondering if they'll still replace it. Getting the 10k in, and then being about to work up past that feels so good! Once I can get around again, I'm either getting a new one or replacing the old one.

Y'all are so motivating. I'm walking the dogs twice a day. I'm *still* sore and hurting from that MRI guided biopsy and I just don't complain about pain too much. I actually listened and didn't dive into anything. I figured if I waited this long, I could just start from negative zero instead of zero. That way when I run a marathon it will mean that much more.

Hang in there, Patoo! When I get there, I will be your exercise partner!

Behind on my steps yesterday and today...on 13+K both days. Started to walk this evening but it was raining....so cut walk short....had a meeting to go to but didn't get home till 9:30 so not up to walking. The rain has turned to snow. Denver has a blizzard warning...hoping for a snow day tomorrow....but will get up early in case I'm not so lucky and will get my walk in...Need to make up for lost steps the next few days....

Next week I'll be in Toronto with my daughter as she is having surgery...Usually I can walk when I'm visiting so hopefully she will be feeling well enough for me to walk and she can walk with me. If not, I'll walk alone as long as she is okay

ThePrincess, thanks for your reply about Herceptin. I have a ton more energy with the last infusion of Herceptin and Perjeta, so I am hoping that even more energy returns with Herceptin only on Nov. 30th. Especially since I got my confirmation date for surgery... December 7th is BMX day! I've been walking, and doing normal mom stuff sine my last infusion.... Feels great to get out and exercise and get fresh air! Can't wait until the healing begins from surgery so I can really start to get back to where I need to be physically.

Again, so thankful for all of you out here!

Cheryl, hope to get to that point before long. Brother left this morning so now only have to get in the mindset to not let my sister derail me. We only have one car (she "loaned" hers to her DD) so if I go to do an activity, other than the nearby pool or ride my bike, she is stranded. She will be away Nov 22-Dec 8 so I will get some kind of a schedule going and she will need to fit herself into it when she gets back. It will work out eventually as these are just new lifestyle challenges for us.

Exercise today was just vacuuming and steam cleaning floors. Still need to do laundry but have a meeting later.

Night sculpted friends.

Yipee! Over 11,000 steps today!

Did 45 minutes of walking at the Y tonight.

Ruth, how do you like Barre classes? I took ballet many years ago, so barre sounds interesting to me. I'd have to join an actual exercise studio to take classes, though, so I'm a little hesitant to try it since it would be kind of expensive.

Dusted off my old Power90 DVD and did the "Sculpt" weights/strength workout. I've been so focused on running the last few months that I've really let my strength training go, so my goal is to get back to it at least once or twice a week.

OK - Lilac - I'll challenge you. Each of us has to do strength training at least once a week between now and the end of the year. We'll report in here. Game on??
