Let's Post our Daily Exercise

I did Five Parks yoga for runners, which always kicks my butt. Hoping the air quality is improved enough to be able to run outside tomorrow.

Definitely need help in that department too.

I actually got to walk several times yesterday. Felt some energy return, not much, took a nap after. Felt good to get some real exercise. One day at a time. Beautiful weather here in south west Florida. Broke all kinds of records. I'm careful in sun, lots of sunscreen being that I'm only 2 weeks out from last chemo. Have a great day everyone. Still not much taste, I hope that returns soon. Hate not being able to taste foods and such.

Claire, Leavenworth look European indeed.

edj, hope you get out safely soon. It will be a crush at the airport, which is true even under normal circumstances. They sorely need a new airport. One is being planned much further away from Taal than the current airport.

Doing a no-sugar challenge and it's going well, except that I seem to be moving less. Hmmm. Off to the gym to fix that problem.

So glad to hear you're doing well, iwaveatcows!!

that is one awesome photo! Nice group!

Some planes are making it in. The problem with NAIA is they have just one long runway for the long haul flights so only one plane at a time can go in or out. And they need to get the planes that were stuck here out. She should definitely check w/ her airline.

She can also check this site which lists departures. She can filter by airline and date/time.

Wonder - I was cookie mom for both my daughters - I think 10 - 12 years total!!! I like how they sell now, door to door with the cookies instead of taking orders and having to go back!! Last year I ordered several boxes for my kids and the neighbor I ordered from never brought them over so I bought at a booth sale - I was worried that I wouldn't get them as cookie sales were almost over. I felt bad, but she lives right around the corner and she emailed me for my order. This year I'll only buy if someone comes to my door or at the grocery store. I haven't eaten girl scout cookies in a few years, so now I only buy if my kids want and hang onto them till they visit or I go see them!!! When my kids were still home (all 3) we would buy 2 cases (assorted cookies) and they would last the year. My kids loved having Thin Mints when everyone else was long gone!!

I've had this cold since Saturday and its not getting any better - Been coughing like crazy and now my nose is getting more stuffy/congested. It is wearing me out - been going to bed early. DH and I still need to get a walk in tonight - hope I'm up to it.

Last night I told our son that his dad and I were turning into wimps in the cold...he chuckled and said soon we would be like my late father complaining the house was cold with thermostat set at 80!!!

Just found out I have Shingles... ugh. Out of school until at least Tuesday. No exercise.I guess my body is forcing me to take a break.

Oh Ginger, that's awful! I've heard shingles are incredibly painful--hoping for a quick recovery for you.

Ruth - LOL about winter parking! We are lost without the painted lines. And I absolutely love the puppy pictures!

IWave - so great about your recovery and continued progress. Please share what the nutritionist has to say. I always have my ears open so that I can pick up tips along the way.

Ginger - oh gosh, sorry to hear about the shingles. Maybe it was caught early and won't be so bad?

Edj3 - hope you get home without delay.

Wonderland - I love the Cookie Monster cartoon. So cute!

Runnermum - wow, running on snow and ice. I'm sure you are used to it, but that does impress me. When I lived in a northern climate, I always tippy toed across snow and ice covered walkways and I probably held my breath and was so tense.

Krose53 - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191016131226.htm here is the link regarding new exercise guidelines that I think you are referring to.. The way I read it, they have lowered the amount of exercise needed for cancer survivors? That really surprises me. However, I read somewhere else (either Dr. Greger or Dr. Colin Campbell) that we need 90 minutes a day so I try to either meet or exceed that goal. I have always had the idea that if a little bit is good, more is better. So Krose53, maybe all we need is 90 minutes a week - maybe the key is that it is spread over multiple days so not too much time goes by without doing something. I am going to keep doing what I have been doing and try to improve in areas such as yoga. I just read that yoga strengthens your immune system which ties in with what IWave said.

So this morning, I did a little bit of weights, and I will go for a walk at lunch and hope to run outside in the neighborhood after work. And maybe if I say I will do a little yoga tonight, I actually will.

Regarding recommended exercise guidelines - I want to add that everyone should do the best they can. The amount and the method are going to vary from person to person, and ultimately one should be happy with their effort and take comfort knowing they do their best most days.

Ruth, I need to work on mixing it up more - adding more time to strength and toning.

Off on our RV trip. First night spent in snowy Pennsylvania, then a few days with my kids and families in the DC area. Currently in Charleston SC, and have had 3 days of incredibly long walks, 2 on the beach, and today in the city. The weather has been unusually warm here (70's), but that is changing tonight, high tomorrow around 50 - still, I'll take it. Still need to work in my rehab exercises and some general toning into my routine, but generally feeling a lot better.

Ginger - sorry about the shingles.

I've has this cold since Saturday night and it is kicking my behind!!! Seems to be getting worse - today a few people asked me if I was sick!!! I haven't had anything like this in some time. Sure hope my DH doesn't get it. At least I walked before work and after work (with DH). Will see if I'm up to one in a little bit.

I generally don't work Fridays, but I'm working on a case that I inherited (testing) and we have a pre-meeting tomorrow. I'll get a couple hours comp time.

I think I need chicken soup. I generally only make soup when its really cold or if its a meal by itself, but Going to make a small pot of chicken soup with lots of veggies for tomorrow night.
