No walking yesterday or today. I walked for years and years by myself. DH started walking w/me after he had his last hip surgery. I'm sure I moaned and groaned about how slow we were walking at first. We did get back to 4 miles an hour. I did 3.5 by myself. I walk with my eyes on the ground. When we walk together we look at a lot of things...bugs...worms...rabbits...squirrels. You know.
Working out w/our trainer today. She is upping my game.

Chris I am like that also. Do my best with others and the time flies by. I do go faster in the mall though. Even alone. I like walking at my moms. There are horses down the road who enjoy treats.
Today was a busy long day. Got in some steps at work. Not a lot though. There was a trial. A man who is accused of killing his mom.
Then I was late because of emergency hearings. Had a dessert to make for our Lieutenants retirement lunch. It is called better than Robert Redford cake. Or better than sex. Never made it before but she likes chocolate. Then a late shower.
Night all.

I had not workout w/our trainer Monday nor will I have one today. She is really sick. She still teaches classes at the gym so probably picked up something nasty there. That's one reason I'm happy I don't have a membership any more. Sara and I used to wipe everything down before and after we used it if we could. She learned that years ago teaching kinder and 1st grade kids who wipe their little wet faces everywhere!!
We also have not walked this week...too cold and windy for us Californians!!!
Pat and I are doing the recumbent after the boys are picked up. We have to wait because the recumbent bike is Ronan's spaceship to the moon and Mars.

10.2 recumbent miles yesterday in 45 mins. and 15.0 recumbent miles today in 62 mins. Don't know if I'll be working w/our trainer tomorrow or not.

Spaceship Chris! Muahaha. That is so silly. I can just see him flying off in it. You need some food weather gear. You would find it is fun. Like a challenge! -30 with a wind chill is not for the fair of heart. But after a few days like that 40 feels like a heat wave. I don't remember the temperature but the boys wanted to go for a walk. They were persistent. We knew it was to cold. But we bundled up, put their sweaters on them and went to the park. They were only about 3 minutes from the vehicle and all turned around and headed back to it. I sure do miss them good balls. Chris a little dog does not pull hard.
Having my own gym only has my germs. Some people should learn to stay home when sick. Key pads at stores are the worst! Germs. Should just wear disposable gloves everywhere! I am lucky I don't get sick to often.
Was in a nasty divorce trial today. Gal took their son and moved out of state. He called everyday for a year and was only allowed to see him once in almost 2 years and talk with him twice a month. He still does not know where they are. Judge will rule after she reviews the evidence more.
Treadmill for 30 minutes at a slow jog. Tomorrow is weights again. I hope your trainer feels better soon. Did I mention my daughter has a trainer? She sees him 3 times a week. I better kick it into high gear before she gets harder than her old mom! Lol

You ladies are so inspiring with your commitment to exercise!
Will only get to the gym 3 days this week...going after my coffee here this morning. Working from home on Fridays helps.
I'll off from work next week....just a few calls to take, so plan on working out each day...woo hoo. Maybe a Fitbit step challenge next week?
Karen1 -
Karen, you are on for the Fitbit Challenge...says the girl who is a slow-poke!!! When would you like to start? Saturday?? We will have Bean for the weekend, and he loves to walk. Sara is off all next week, so we will be walking during the week.
I wish the recumbent somehow counted as steps but nopey, nope!! Trainer is still sick. No workout w/her today. Must shop before recumbent today.
I agree w/you, Shelley, but they don't stay home...they want to share their misery with the rest of the planet. Sounds like an interesting trial you were at on Thursday. Wonder why she moved out of state. Will you get to hear what the judge decides?
FITBIT CHALLENGE STARTS SOON!!!!
Chris0 -
Chris...yes!! Let's start tomorrow! Want to do a 5 day challenge? I can kick it off tomorrow morning. Anyone else in?
Karen0 -
40 mins of elliptical this Friday morning.0
-
Me me me me! I want to join you guys. Send me an invite.
Chris I would have to remember to ask. I will try to remember. I am off next week also. Looks like we are off together. My treadmill counts steps. To bad about the bike. Maybe attach it to your ankle?
Shelley0 -
GREAT MINDS, SHELLEY!!!!!!! I was thinking that last night! I'm going to try and remember to do that when I get on it again. We'll be walking all this next week. Looking forward to a bit of sleepin' in and walking when the sun is up high in the sky. The recumbent will start up the 2nd, I think.
Okay, Karen, how do we do this?
Chris1 -
Will do Shelley and Chris!1

Ok.ladies. I set up a 7 day challenge for steps. You should have gotten an invite through Fitbit to accept. I had to update the app on my phone (didnt realize I was outdated)...it had a cool (build your own challenge) option. So fun! We can also add pictures and stuff. So go ahead and accept...and we will be off! Will be great to keep each other motivated over Thanksgiving!

I can't figure out where the version of Fitbit is :-)0
-
I went in to help and it said you're supposed to get a notification, but if you also go on that main screen of your Fitbit app which I posted you should see it there. Let me know if it works or not. We will figure this out!0

I see you in the challenge Chris!0

Pat figured it out. Going to keep him.
