Saturday -- chilly but nice winter's day.
My husband and I walked about 900 metres to a local grocery store and back plus a bit. Then we wandered around our yard.
And then I rode the trainer for an hour ...
Distance: 23.60km
Elevation: 203m
Moving Time: 1:03:44
Elapsed Time: 1:04:05
..................... Avg ................ Max
Speed ............. 22.2km/h ........ 54.0km/h
Heart Rate ...... 130bpm .......... 150bpm
Cadence ......... 79 ................. 123
Power ............ 89W .............. 201W
We need to set up trainer for my husband.
Problem: cannot put Bike Friday on trainer, but need step-thru of some sort.
I had hoped that I could adjust our JetBlack trainer so that the small wheels of the Bike Friday would fit. There is some adjustment, but not enough.
So now ... I either need to find a more adjustable trainer or locate a step-thru of some sort that will fit Rowan.
Or find a decent stationary bike, I suppose, but he'd like to use Zwift with me.

Rori I hope your project is completed soon. We are getting new carpet for our basement. I decided to paint it so it has been torn up for over a month. The carpet is ordered now so the end is in sight.Fortunately it is not in our main living area.
Allie have fun at the wedding.
Lenora good to see you post.

Greetings from Ohio!
Will be short as I need to get ready for work, but wanted to pop in. I agree with the being off this month. My DH keeps asking if I am okay.....I really am okay, just off. I did manage to get over 7 hours of sleep for the past 2 nights! Sure beats the 5 I had been getting
We have been working on the model a wiring since Wednesday after work. Massage was wonderful on Monday. Painted wine glasses with ladies group on Tuesday. I will have to post pic when get on computer. App won't let me Tonight I get to spend time with both my daughters at a Norwex party. Oldest will be spending night with me. No car shows this weekend as the shelby is at the beauty shop. At 11 years old, she needed some extra TLC. Have to drive yo Detroit on Monday for my husband's eye appointment. It is about a 3.5 hour drive one way. We go every 8 months.
Knee exercises? Tips? My right one still bothering me badly. Arthritis and an old injury.
Ladies.....you all continue to inspire me with your strengths, ideas, commitment, and love. Remember you are each special and important!
Prayers to those in need!
Congrats to all the successes!

Good morning all! Happy Saturday! DD and Joaquin's flight got delayed by almost two hours! They landed at 1:45 am and arrived home (my house) at about 3am. I woke up when I heard them come in. Joaquin was asleep, so we just tucked him in and all went to sleep. lol Hardest thing I ever did, getting back to sleep. I have been awake since 5:30, drinking coffee and waiting. But they are here, safe and sound! I wrote out DD's schedule in my agenda and seeing the parade of friends written throughout the week has shown me that I will have plenty of time with them. So I have mellowed a bit on the sharing thing!
Just made an omelet for DH, kind of hoping that the smell would wake up the baby; no such luck!
Rori- So glad to hear from you! Sorry about your DH's eye troubles, but happy you get to spend some time with your brother. Enjoy your day out!
Rebecca- I agree with the ladies who are urging you to find a choir/singing group to join! You love to sing and it would be a great way to meet people in the community plus give back! Sounds right up your alley!
Allie-Wow! That is a lot of steps! So sorry you are sore and I would imagine "bone tired!". Get some rest and hopefully a good night's sleep will have you feeling a bit better!
Heather- I can hear a little anxiousness in your words. I am sure you will be just fine. In fact, by the time I am writing this, your moment at the celebration will be over and I am sure you will have done your job beautifully! I feel for you with the funk our DH's go into when their team doesn't win. Cheers to your DH; next year is another chance for championship status!
Pip- Hugs for you and Kirby! Forgot to say Happy Birthday to your man! Happy Belated birthday Kirby! Hugs for you and your job situation.
Welcome to all of the newbies!
Sending thoughts of love, peace, strength and healing to all who need it! I have plans this week to make/grill alot and NOT splurge too much. But I have also decided to cut myself a little slack with the Lauren and Joaquin here. You know I will be taking pictures and will post a few here. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Thank you everyone who is sending me strength and love for my speech. I will carry you with me when I stand up and walk to the front. I've practised and I have good notes and I can always resort to the poem, US TWO, if I dry up! That won't happen of course. Just hope my papers don't shake too much.
I can do this, I've done it before, but I am always absolutely s******g myself before hand. I was listening to an interview with Maggie Smith the other day and she said she was always terrified. Judi Dench said the same thing. So I'm in good company. :bigsmile:
Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxx5 -
Heather - Good luck! You’ve got this!
KJ - Can’t wait to see photos! Enjoy every minute you can with the kids!
Machka - Can any of your cycling friends loan you what you need? Continued hugs and prayers.
I think I’ll go to the local farmers market this morning. It will get me out of the house. Hopefully my landscape guys show up this morning to finish. They left a big pile of dirt/mulch in the street and another on the side of our shop.
Happy Saturday!

Unfortunately, most of our cycling friends are scattered around the world. When I posted what we were thinking of doing, I've had 2 responses so far ... one from a cycling friend in Oregon and one from a cycling friend in Manitoba.
And it can be a little bit harder to locate what we need here in Australia. Shipping and all that.

Am going to make myself go to the mall and look for a pair of pants that fit. Hate, hate, hate shopping. Haven't been to the mall in over a year.7

Heather keep us all in your pocket! and have a wonderful time.
Kelly by the time I'm writing this, I'll bet you've gotten in a cuddle with Joaquin
Rori glad you checked in, the demo phase of every project is lousy, as is the healing portion of any procedure, sending and strength.
Ladies, you all could have predicted this I'm sure, the squirrel's have returned , they literally chewed through the wood around the metal screen to get back in the attic. Needless to say, I'm *&*#*# and will spend the day trying to not be angry with DH who is now barking ideas around. My idea? Bring back our wonderful handyman and let him take care of it, after all we paid him!!!

I'm new here and 53 years old. I lost about 29 lbs last year, but gained most of it back. I just restarted again about 3 weeks ago. I started out the first 1-2 weeks with the scale going down steadily then all the sudden it went back up 2 lbs and has been fluctuating up and down a pound or two at the same weight for about a week now. It has to be the monthly hormonal thing. I'm eating low calorie 1500 for my height, age, weight and physical activity. Low carb under 70 grams generally under 40-50 and drinking 80+ ounces or more of water a day. walking 30 minutes 4-5 days a week. Just so frustrating and discouraging, but I'm hanging in.9
