    Karen great going. I got home and found that my algae scrubber was not working. Had to trouble shoot it and get it back up and running. So by the time I did I just decided to be a bum!

    We just did 3.64 miles in 70 mins...however, it's probably not enough to work off all the pb and grahams I ate this morning!!! :D

    Busy Tuesday but found time to get in 2.2 miles in 35 minutes. I had to take my father for lab work yesterday and then he had a flat tire on his way to the park to go on his walk. A daughter’s work is never done. 😉

    Im going to try the dance workouts next. The next couple of days are supposed to be rainy and cold in Georgia. Recumbent and YouTube it is!

    Kathy I found one from Keoni, I think of him as the cat man, that you might like. Some cardio and upper arms.

    I did it last night and used my 5 pound dumbbells. I liked it. Just a fast workout. About 18 minutes. He showed the next move in a small window and also had the time left listed.

    Karen you would like it. And now you have tons of dumbbells to choose from. ;)

    Chris you really walk a lot. Fantastic. When my old guys are gone walking outdoors will be easier. It has been way to cold here though. In the negatives. :D My little Cooper likes to go with us. But then I just end up carrying him. Joey does not like going out of his yard now. Blindness does that to ones confidence. :( But the other two are ready for warmer weather.

    Looks like my post from a few days ago didn't get saved to this thread, so I'll try again:

    Karen, I clicked on the TikTok dance work out and discovered it was hip hop, wowwee! I love hip hop. My knee interfered with my ability but it sure felt good. That beat moves my body. Then I played it on loop just for background music. Nice.

    That got me looking at the other ones too, and Shelley, the Body roll cracked me up. He's great. I'm gonna need to practice though, he makes it look easy but not for me.

    Fun!
    Thanks!!

    Nice job Chris. Not sure in miles but I got in over 10,000 steps today. Then spent some time trying to feed one of my corals. It eats really slowly. I turn off the pumps and very carefully place food on it. And spend the next 15 minutes keeping a small goby (fish) from stealing it. The trachy would eat faster if the silly goby would leave it alone. This fish is less than 2 inches. He kept taking food away from the coral and disturbing it. Rocky thought it was funny. Argh!

    Time for a reset for me. So much going on exercise has not been a priority and I’ve been so tired from all the driving. I will get back to it consistently after Tuesday. Keep going ladies! I’m with you in spirit. 😃

    Shelley, your fish and coral sound like little kids...

    Kathy, you'll get back to it, no doubt about it.

    4.89 miles in 105 mins. We went up the hill behind the water tanks. We haven't been all the way up there in a really, really long time! The wind was fierce but not cold. A good walk.

    Chris & Shelley,

    It sounds like Silly Goby would be a good name for my kittencat too. She's such a little piggy, wolfs her food down then tries to steal from the adults. They just back off and look at her like "Well, harumph!" So we have to guard the feeing stations too.

    Such silly darlings, our babies are, n'est pas?

    I took yesterday as a rest day. Had a pretty intense adjustment at the chiropractor for my lower back. Wanted to let my back calm down a bit.

    Kittens are so sweet. Even when they climb up your leg! Lol. They have no control over their claws!

    Chris that sounds like fun. :p

    We attempted to fix a leak in our aquarium plumbing. Well it is a lot slower now. But eventually we will have to just do it all again. What a PITA! Did some yoga today. I still have a knot in my buttocks from falling on the ice.

    LOL, Karen and Chris don't I know it! Knot sure if I will ever get it out.

    Terrible how many folks are without power. We just are so dependent on it. I have solar panels. But they don't work well when covered in snow and it is overcast outside. So I am still on the grid.

    Karen that was some massive stepping! Nice going.

    I forgot I was the early person this week. I had Mon. & Tue. off. So I came in and did the building check in full uniform. What a pain. I did weights yesterday. Not many steps doing that.
