Let's Post our Daily Exercise

I am finally feeling better 😄. Whatever I had kicked my rear! I had a MO visit in Houston on Monday and everything looks good. What a relief!

Today I walked 4 miles at the walking trail. It felt good to get out and get my body moving.

Ruth- Happy Belated Birthday🎂🎂🎂! I love the St Patty's Day Pic of you ladies. It looks like a fun bunch. I am glad to hear you are feeling better. We are on break now, so I have been resting up from my two week bout w/ gook.

Patoo-You deserve a cruise after moving. My DH and I moved quite a bit, as he was in the military. It is exhausting work. Luckily it is all worth it, once you enjoy your new home.

Meljo- You are dedicated! I had that respiratory thing too and skipped out on some workouts. The coughing was just such a challenge.

Natsfan- Hope you get your rhythm.

Karen send the tape to me when you're done with it

Did Body Combat tonight with a girl who was a class participant and became an instructor, her very first class I love seeing these kind of transitions where people find their passion

Did a walk to Dunkin Donuts to get a smoothie this morning. Worked out last night.

Went back to the pool and got 11 laps in. Its definitely getting easier. I just find I cannot do any forceful strokes and have to stop after two laps for a few minutes.

Thankful its getting easier.

hi all and congrats all around. We all get an A. :-)

Made 'green bread' for a St. Pat's Day treat. Real easy recipe involving white cake mix and pistachio pudding. Good to bring to work as it makes people happy and if I share I only eat one small slice. Totally swamped but taking regular 10-min walking breaks to get away from my desk. No outside walks yet this week due to thunderstorms Tues and high winds Weds & today. There was a semi on its side on the way home from work yesterday, it got blown over in a strong sudden gust. Scary driving next to big trucks!

hbcheryl....I'll save the tape for you!!

I'm trying to drink more water at night....one draw back is last night I woke up 3 or 4 times to pee!! And that was only between 11:30pm and 6am!! I've already had 2 glasses of water since dinner....maybe I'll cut down on the snacking and the wine with more water, but then again, I might just float away!! I'd really like to shed the 7# I put on since September!!

Nothing on the calendar tomorrow.....just time for me to clean the house, cook, run errands and visit my mother!!! So thrilled to not have any appointments.....Making DD all her favorites for Shabbat dinner. Sunday I will bring Mom over for dinner. I told DD and DH that I was going to make pasta and DH said Mom won't be happy!!! I usually grill chicken or steak or some assorted grill....Mom loves that, but I really don't want chicken again and don't have any steaks. Maybe I can make hamburgers and hot dogs as Mom also likes those. DD said she doesn't care.

What day is DD going skydiving, Karen? Exciting and scary....I am afraid they would have to pry my hands off the door & give an enormous shove to push me out of the plane (but then, I am NOT 18!). Good for her!

I am going to yoga this morning & subbing this afternoon for the first time in forever. I am kind of excited because I miss seeing my school people if I'm gone too long. I believe I should be able to survive 3 hours of teaching prepositions to 6th graders.

I got lots of steps running up & down the steps of the school to the 6th grade wing on the 3rd floor. 6th graders are awesome, and so are 7th graders......8th graders are a little more dicey!

Karen: You are such a good Mom!

Hi All. I haven't done much this week bc I had a stomach thing going on. Better now (I hope!). Walked/ran this evening. Nice, dry 68 degrees. All that changes tomorrow.

This morning I helped set up for dd's friend's wedding which is tomorrow. It will be a very busy day tomorrow helping with the last final details!

hi all, I killed another pedometer so need to replace. Happier with the $20 one from the sporting goods store than the $5 one from BigBoxMart. Would get a bracelet-type tracker but don't like things on my wrists.

Going to "nest" this weekend. Been so busy haven't unpacked any boxes in a while. Want to get some of the glassware put away but need to wash first as was packed in newspaper. Will be glad to locate my Pyrex measuring cups.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Busy day, but with fun things and catching up. My friends did not come for dinner as their son is down with flu and fever. Corned beef will be just as good in 2 weeks time.

The FREE shredding truck was a short distance away today, so I went through everything and dragged over a big haul. So nice to get all that in hand. I had done some prelim getting the tax stuff together, so this was mostly a case of sorting through the remaining piles and keeping only the essentials. Less and less that you need to keep when you can get the same things online.

I went to the curtains place and got a rod for my new wall hanging. Not totally happy with the result, and think I will need brackets. But nice to have it up. Moved my other tapestry (copy of a late medieval one) to over my desk where I can actually see it. Now THERE is a step in the right direction!!

In between, I logged 27 miles on my bicycle. It was comforting to see those who obviously haven't done all that much over the past several months. They were ratted out by their spandex!

Got a note from where I am staying next weekend. The snow is holding so the skiing should be just fine. I am so psyched!

And yes, the wine bar party last night was beyond fun. Wonderful to see everyone and wonderful to catch up. Good times ahead.

Right now, waiting for my trout dinner to finish cooking. - Claire

Unpacked eight boxes yesterday but still didn't find my Pyrex measuring cups. Wine glasses, cordial glasses, Pilsner glasses, yes but not what I really want to find. Some items were packed in newspaper from the year 2000 so I haven't seen them for quite some time. Oh well, plenty more boxes to try.

Real pretty morning so headed out for a walk as soon as I finish my second cup of coffee.

Karen-Here is the difference between 18 and 18X3. I will not be sky diving, but instead enjoying a spa package. But a very happy birthday to your daughter.

I walked 45 minutes yesterday. More winter than spring this weekend but the frogs were singing loudly.

Good to see you Katcar. And no one is more boring than me ... 30 minute walk today!

3/20- 50 minutes of resistance training and core work, plus a whole lot of yard work today!
