Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Been off the boards for a few days and the only exercise has been lift, move, sculpt, as the new house is finished and I closed on Thursday. We've been moving small boxes/bins and today painted two walls (one in my room, one in sisters). One coat wore us out so will put second coat on each Monday, finish laundry/packing Tuesday, movers coming Wednesday. I did get out for a 5 mile bike ride this morning as I feel lost without some 'regular' exercise.

You all seem to be doing well and/or healing.

Night sculpted friends.

Went to see Patoo's new home today and it is really nice. She and her sister were able to pick colors and appointments and they did a great job! Now the fun begins!

Cheryl so sorry about your hurting your back. I am missing pix of all those cute guys that seem to surround you. Only kidding. Hope you heal rapidly . Patoo, congrats on the house.

Patoo - sounds like you're in the homestretch and will be settled soon. Cheryl - take care of that back. Badger - thanks for the Hank article. My Nats big controversy is that we still have the idiot closer who tried to choke the league MVP.

As for mattresses, we've had a SleepNumber for years. DH has scoliosis so his back is twitchy. It's been much improved since we got the mattress. I like being able to adjust it when I want. I usually keep pretty firm but when I was in AIs I'd make it softer to ease the joint pain.

The ankle held up and I was able to complete the 8k! I even finished 3rd in my age group. Of course, there were only 3 in my age group.

Just got back from seeing Zootopia - it is so much fun. It was Disney at its best - I can highly recommend it. And underneath it all, it has a good message, especially for our current times.

Here I am after the race! It was a St Patrick's Day Race Fest so there was a lot of green!

Thanks all. It is a lot of work but this should be my last move (Wednesday) ever! A friend who had not seen my sister for 30 years (they reconnected in December) has bought the lot next to ours so we get to go through the whole process again with her but this time we get to sit on the lanai and watch as her house goes up. She will live with us until complete (sold her DC historic home in 1 day!)

Packing, lifting and sculpt will be my exercise for the next few days.

Ruth glad you are feeling better. hbcheryl, take care of yourself. You don't want to do damage to your back that cannot be reversed. badger say HI to mom for me. How is your new place?

Thanks everyone my back is fine, the massage really helped,the girl I go to is a LM instructor but her day job is a sports masseuse and she is fantastic, my back hurt but when the massage was over it was actually my hip were the soreness came out. Congrats on the 3rd place finish Mary Badger say hi to your Mom from me too. Patoo be careful with all your bending and lifting and how fun to have reconnected with an old friend. SoCalLisa I'm going to a Suoer Q on May7th so I promise you some cute guy pics, hope your arm is finally healing up and great job on the steps, speaking of which, I'm glad I took the credit for my arm movement Fitbit numbers cause I've forgotten to wear it for the last 2 days and I've probably gotten in the 10000 each day.

Had one of those nights last night, went to bed early woke up at 1am and was awake for 3 hours then when it was time to get up I was wiped out so I missed my first class but made it to Body Combat.

Did yoga this morning, vegged out this afternoon & went to zumba tonight (where I stayed in the back row right next to the fan). I worked at about 70% of my 'normal'......but am trying to be good and smart.

Scottie, you will have to post some of your pictures when you get back. What parks are you going to? Sounds very fun!

I'm 3 pages behind and not even going to try to catch up. Haven't been getting in as many steps as I'd like to, but still getting 12-13K/day. I'm trying some new meds that have been wrecking havic with me, so have stopped them. Since cancer, if there is a side effect with a med, I get it!!! I tried a new anti-depressant related med and one of the side effects is more or less crawling out of your skin and low and behold that was me these past several days. I didn't take it today and I'm so much better. Waiting till my appt on Thursday to see what the doctor says. I;m about ready to say thanks but no thanks. She is pricey and I'm not getting where I want to be fast enough!!!

Its still spring weather here but winter is due back again on friday!!! just in time for spring!! and speaking of Saturday, my youngest turns 18!!! So excited for her.

Did a 25 minute workout last night.

Went to my Cardio Sculpt class this morning (luckily for me, the teacher was a little under the weather so took it easy on us). I think I will try Barre tonight.

Did close to 3 miles on the treadmill at the gym this evening. Felt good. Was able to go 4.3 miles and hour. I am getting there.

Oh my gosh, moving is tiring!!! Got in my 10,000 steps today and I'm beat. Full move tomorrow then clean old place in next few days and turn in keys. Will take my time unpacking because Rome wasn't built in a day and I want to get it right. We are looking at a 2 night Bahama cruise, maybe April, just to relax. Was told it costs less then $75./pp. After buying a house just might be able to afford that!

Patoo I love the photo of you on the lanai, congratulations on the move in. Ahh Karen those magic words 'not to snack' if only I could live by them Congratulations PNY slowly but surely. Heidi the funny thing about Jam is that if you go back and do some of the old releases they are really lame compared to what we're doing now.

Went to Zumba tonight.

Patoo - moving is hard, but once you get settled it's so nice to look around and enjoy everything you see. Have fun!

Half hour run yesterday after work. For some reason I never got into a rhythm and actually had to walk a lot of it, which is unusual for me. Oh well, some days are great, and some days you just don't have it. Plan on a good swim tonight so hopefully that will get me back into the groove.

Congrats on your new home, Pattoo! So exciting. Nats, glad to hear you were able to run your 8K. Nice work! You look great. I have a race this coming Sunday (the last in my winter series) and I'm a little worried. I've been battling a horrible respiratory thing for 12 days now. Lots of ick going around the office. Did a round of antibiotics and I'm feeling somewhat better, but I lost quite a few training days. And now I think my DH might be coming down with the same thing. Ugh! Ran 3 miles Saturday, 6 Sunday, 3 Monday, and a measly 1 yesterday. Ha! It was so windy yesterday, I almost blew away just trying to get that one in Ugly day again here--rain and wind. Will have to hit the dreadmill on my lunch hour. Not looking forward to it.
