@VeggieGirlforLife just curious what is the 4 mile super challenge?
It's an old Leslie walk. The full name is Walk Away the Pounds Express Super Challenge 4 Miles.2 -
@zichab : So right! I love the smell of fall. Leaves burning in the neighborhood. If the weather holds true this week, Hubby and I may get 1 last trip to the trail before he puts up the bike for the season. Crossing fingers that we can. He hasn't been able to ride in a few weeks because of rain. This weekend I start to prep the back patio and came across a mouse who was also prepping for the weather...trying to make a little home in an old patio cushion. We had a stare off and it decided to find a better property.
I woke up to temps in the mid 40's. A bit to chilly for an outdoor walk. I ended up doing a quick 10 minutes with Jessica Smith and her Bun & Thighs Circut Walk. 10 min and I'm waiting to go outside just to cool down.

After 113 days of walking at least 5 miles and over 11,000 steps I took a rest day yesterday. I felt my body needed it. Some little bones in my feet were hurting and I thought it best to rest. Feel better today. Today is Day 1 of the new streak.

@Americanbabydoll - Glad you are feeling better today! 113 days of walking 5 miles and over 11,000 steps: that's an amazing feat! 3

My revised goal for October is to make a plan to include strength circuits and also DVD or outdoors walking during the week. Looking back at my exercise journal for this year I've been actually doing something either purposely more active or exercise walks for 6 days a week with 1 rest day. Which has been my ultimate goal. So to change things up this month I'm focusing on forcing myself to include specific, planned rotating strength workouts. Also any extra things such as garden/ yard work or longer errand days with more walking involved will be on top of my routine DVD/ outdoors walking. I'm hoping to up my activity level this month 😅.
October 1: 1.5 hours yard & garden
October 2: 3 miles: 3 Fast & Fun Miles, 1 mini walk, 1 Walk Blaster
October 3: 20 min Fast Walk, Lower Body Circuit, 2 Walk Blasters
October 4: 20 min Fast Walk, Upper Body Circuit, 3 Walk Blasters
October 5: 3 Miracle Miles with band work, 2 Walk Blasters
October 6: Rest Day!
October 7: Lower Body Circuit, 20 min Fast Walk & Brisk and Steady Walk Blaster, Flexibility Walk Blaster c/d

@AnnofB -Oh those must be my hummingbirds!!! They have been at my feeders at the lake all summer and now they are gone! It is nice to know that they are with you.
@Deeder522 They are predicting 38, 37 and 36 nightime degrees for those of in the lower mitten this weekend! :noway: Frankly, they need to keep these temps in the UP until the grass stops growing and the leaves fall off down here. I can't rake leaves in 30 degree weather!!! :laugh:
WOW @texasgardnr you are doing great with your circuit training!!! I bought the Miracle Miles videos but have not gotten into them much. Do you like those workouts?

@zichab, I do like the Miracle Miles DVDs especially because of the band. I oftentimes use the band with other LS workouts. Each individual mile definitely does not have as much strength as I would like them to have (or thought they would have since they were a "miracle" mile :laugh:), but when used in "rotation" with other workouts or as part of a plan they are good.
Each mile has a focus. So today I did not do the lower body M.M. on the 4 mile disk.
The bands are available on Amazon:
"FOMI 7 Ring Stretch and Resistance Exercise Band | Back, Foot, Leg, and Hand Stretcher, Arm Exerciser | Portable | for Home or Fitness Center Workout, Physical Therapy by FOMI" . There are 3 different Resistance levels available.
I bought the green one to use for some of the lower body M.M. moves, and for some of the stretches using the band. And an extra blue one since they were available. They seem to be the same bands.

Thanks for sending them my way, ha-ha. I'm really laying on the sugar for them. Especially since I've figured out (finally) that too much sugar for me means extra strong hot flashes.

I had a lot of grading to do today both online and papers so I set the timer for 60 minutes and walked 15 minutes every time it went off. Oddly, I got a lot more grading done than I planned so apparently "oxygen for the brain" might actually be a thing! :drinker:
@AnnofB -If they are my hummingbirds, they like 1/4C of sugar to every cup of water with no food coloring. If they belong to my neighbor, they like red food coloring in theirs. This will probably be how you can tell! :laugh:
@texasgardnr Once I am back in good shape, I will rotate those in. I have the band that came with the DVDs, but maybe I should get stronger ones. When I first got them, I wanted to lose a few pounds and all that stopping for strength training was annoying, so I just set the box on the shelf. Next month, I want to rotate in Firm 30 2-3 times a week, so maybe Dec will be a good month to rotate in the MM 2 times a week and Firm 30 once a week. I'll see how much weight comes back off and how much stronger I am before deciding. Thanks for letting me know.
