Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Skied Sunday, Pilates Monday and yesterday, exercise bike Tuesday, and this evening will be our local bc ladies' exercise group. I'm on a roll!

Might try to work out tomorrow night.

Nice bird pix, Mary! I have two feeders: a wire cylinder with seeds for the finches & sparrows and a suet feeder for the woodpeckers. Love to watch them, so pretty. We have cardinals too but they, like the mourning doves, are too big to eat from the feeder so ground-feed on the spillage. We also have a clever and ambitious squirrel that can climb a metal pole to get at the wire feeder and paw out/lick up seeds from the bottom tray. He is successful, and fat.

Did a lot of reading today so took five-minute walk breaks every hour to stay alert (awake).

Scottie, My DH was in Atlanta this week for work. He said the weather was gorgeous yesterday. The weather in Denver can drop 40 degrees in a day. Spring one day and winter the next.

Its been cold this week...single digits in the mornings. Need to bundle up to get my morning walk in. After dinner I started out warm, but the end I was freezing. I use map my walk and not till I started writing this post did I realize I never turned it off...I've been done with my walk for over 90 minutes. Next week weather is going to be in the 50's

Ruth...sounds like you're having a great time in AZ.

Elliptical/bike/dreadmill circuit.

Got my first post surgery workout in. Started back into working out with 15 minutes.

Tuesday and Wednesday I went to yoga class. Today was a 30 minute walk with ny husband but darn cold and wintry. i can only hope it will jump start me off this weight loss plateau. Trying to lose some lbs I ganied and am almost there but totally stalled this week despite eating really well all week.

Beautuful Arizona pic and birdie pics.

I am stalled along with you ladies. Never got fully back onto my eating plan after the holidays. I have still been exercising but I am having muscle and joint pain, not sleeping well and I know my inflammation is up. I feel crappy so I eat crappy which is a vicious cycle...ugh

Pretty little downy woodpecker, Mary. We have a nesting pair in the old maple tree in front yard. Today saw a nuthatch.

This is a fun site from WI Dept. of Natural Resources on winter bird feeding - Environmental Education for Kids - EEK!

Bought a bag of organic tangerines, cut one in half, and put it out by the feeders. Hoping for some cardinals.

Did errands this morning and took a quick walk around the block. Logged nearly 7,500 steps per the just-surfaced pedometer. Devoting this afternoon to paperwork management. Need to declutter and finally have time to organize and either file or shred stacks on coffee table, kitchen table, and sideboard.

Zumba yesterday but could only participate at a much lower intensity due to knee pain. It seems better today so I am planning to take a walk.

Took my husband to the airport at 6:00 this morning. He's going to see our daughter. I was so tired when I got back that I laid down for an hour and closed my eyes. Haven't done much since except eat ice cream for breakfast and read the paper and be on fb, email and here. Oh yeah, I got a shower and did a load of laundry! Got to charge my phone then go for a long walk. Yesterday I got 30K steps! Walked so many places! Won't hit that again for a while. Have a great day

hi coffeelatte, glad to have you here. We are a diverse group here, all ages and stages, all levels of fitness. Have you seen This Girl Can video? It's great! I couldn't find the original YouTube video with the millions of views but here's a nice clear one on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/117922649

I walk and aim for 10,000 steps a day, so am one of the more moderate exercisers, but we're all awesome!

Cold enough this aft that I didn't want to walk to the grocery store for the onions I forgot yesterday. Drove there but then power walked the store for 30 mins. Put away groceries and got out for a brisk loop around the neighborhood park. Scalloped potatoes with ham for supper tonight mmm.

hmmmm... try this ...

Welcome coffeelatte (great name, by the way!). Whatever you can do is 100% more than not doing anything! It all counts (I am happy with 10,000 steps too). The weather has finally turned around in Arizona (boo hoo, we leave tomorrow), so I enjoyed a nice walk, and listening to a cowboy band on an outdoor patio. Here I am with a new friend with the Superstition Mountains in the background.

Thank you Badger, the video worked; however, the link to the community forum topic said it does not exist. I will try to find it. I have to be so careful with the arm but it feels so good to move. My husband and I went to the mall and walked today before it opened. It was a lot of fun. It was warm and there were a lot of other walkers. He was glad I talked him into it. We did about 6,000 steps and it felt great. I wear a vest with pockets so when my arm starts to ache from hanging down, I tuck it in the pocket and it really helps.
