Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Ltitle snow for us. It's very cold out with the wind. No telling what I can squeeze in today!

good workout yesterday - 62 minutes treadmill with 23 one-minute jogs mixed in for a total of four miles. Followed that with 45 minutes on recumbent bike while watching a Netflix show on my phone for another nine miles.

Nothing today except packing for New Zealand trip. Will get in at least 2 hopefully 3 workouts before departure on Friday. Will get lots of walking in there and hoping for some good hikes as well

Welcome newbies - we love it when people find this most awesome thread. You'll get nothing but support and encouragement here 👍👍👍

Sweet, I am EXCITED for your vacation. My nephew spent a year in New Zealand and the pictures he sent home were stunning!

Let us know how your appointment goes on Tuesday, Varga.

DS and some friends are off to Las Vegas for a wedding; so we are in charge of the grand-puppy for the week. So far today it's lots of fetching and a walk in the snow.

Lots of walking today...windy and no sun so felt colder than the temp, but not complaining. Back to morning walks in the dark!

Sweet dream

Piscean, it is a crap shoot but there are ways we can reduce risks. For ER+ cancer it's obviously good to get estrogen levels down. I never had much fat, possibly like the woman you mentioned, but I probably had a lot of estrogen circulating in my blood if not stored in fat. I didn't exercise as regularly as I should nor did I have a fiber-rich diet to help metabolize excess estrogen. My tumor was 100% estrogen-driven, metastasized to the bone at diagnosis. Since then I've been exercising daily and getting at least 7 portions of fruit and veggies, preferrably organic, to minimize xenoestrogens.

Sweet, have fun in New Zealand! It is supposed to be the best country for retirement. I have to get there someday.

Still decluttering but managed some Tango in the morning for a change, then Body Jam tonight. Maybe a HIIT workout in between.

Had a nice walk yesterday in the preserve near our house with hubby. We had gotten about 5 inches of snow over the weekend, so walking was a little challenging. Expecting a lot more snow tomorrow. Off to the movies tonight to see The Shack. I have not read the book, but people tell me it was a good read, so I'm looking forward to the movie.

North and North East friends, stay safe. From the news it sounds like a whopper of a storm. Denver is so very dry....Its been several weeks since we've had any precipitation. Not that I want a blizzard, but we could really use some now or rain. Some of our biggest snow storms have been mid March through early April.

I haven't been good about getting out for a walk during the work day...just too crazy at work. But I'm trying to get a walk in when I get home. Plus after dinner.

Will try to check in later tonight.

It's beginning to look like it is going to take both me and hubby to shovel us out from all this snow.

OK, It was a good movie, but not a great movie. Friends I was with who read the book said the book is much better than the movie. One friend sitting next to me sniffled through most of the movie. However, it did not affect me that way (and I can cry over almost anything). Maybe because I was focusing more on the message - so my brain was working overtime rationalizing and examining the underlying themes. Putting the book on my list! And there was a coming attraction for the Zookeepers wife,another book that's on my list. So many books, so little time.

In the midst of the blizzard here - looks like the rain/snow line is trying to overtake us right now, so that means incredibly heavy shoveling - UGH! Winds have arrived but not too bad yet. We heat with wood and cook with propane so should be allright. Plus we got a generator a couple of years ago (never used!), maybe this will be the storm that does it. But I'm hoping the power stays on...

Pat, Ginger, M0mmy, and everyone else in the storm: thinking of you, stay warm and safe!

Hi All! I'm several pages behind. Welcome to the new ladies here. So glad you've joined us.

Winter decided to return. We even had a touch of snow on Sunday morning but by the afternoon it was all gone.

I've been walking/jogging regularly since the last time I posted. I'll be better about reporting!

Everyone in the storm path stay safe and warm. No snow here, but bitter cold (for us anyway) in the morning. Irony is that it with be 74 degrees on Monday for my surgery. Uggh.

Scottie

At least 12 inches of wet, heavy snow here. Lots of shovel and sculpt. Wide awake at 3am for some reason.

Have been catching up on all the posts. In answer to a question a while back, I was super-fit when diagnosed as just coming off a summer of cycling events including the 200+ mile annual ride to Portland. I got in four 5k runs over the past 5 days, but no skiing as was raining plus numerous road closures. I used the time to catch up on work and do most of my 2016 taxes. We are bringing on two new people at the nonprofit so things are hopping. Also, I have this recurring dream of technology that works!!!

I heard the frogs singing the last two evenings, so spring must finally be on it's way. I am blaming Phil for all the late winter storms.

Hoping to get up skiing on Sunday. I have a Saturday meeting, and suspect it's time to get my bicycle out as I can easily fit in a ride, rain or shine. Skiing is even better exercise than cycling. One of the new people at the nonprofit is also a cyclist, so it's fun being with someone who also does outdoor sports.

I will say one more thing about exercise. I know we are all interested in survival, but exercise is also important to quality of life. Things like energy, sleep, sex, clear thinking, appearance, mood. I certainly don't want to spend the rest of my days as a grumpy, dumpy, fuzzy thinking, miserable blob!!! I like being fit, high energy, positive, and on my game.

The only negative is that buying clothes is a lot more fun because they look better. Even if you don't lose one single pound!!

That's my story. Now back to the salt mines as a long day awaits. - Claire

I am. Did a little clean up today. Workout after dinner.

hi all and welcome VelvetPoppy. I read and enjoyed The Shack but haven't seen the movie.

coffeelatte, I am proud of you, too! Have you seen "This Girl Can" yet?

It's cold here too but I scurried over to the Capitol to walk yesterday and today. The floorperiod ended but the legis is holding hearings so the joint is jumping. 22,714 steps = 10.75 miles since last post a few days ago.
