    Good Morning ONE For All :)

    Here's some questions from my BLC weekly Captains Challenge <3 and my answers

    1)   Share any thoughts you have about how to know if your exercise is good/enough

    I feel rejuvenated and the energy lasts into the next day

    2) Evaluate your exercise  routine

    My weekly exercise routine covers the necessary areas with cardio, strength training, balance, and stretching.

    3) Share tips on how you make time for exercise.... 

    I try to give my exercise top priority, with a cardio routine after breakfast.
    The late mornings or afternoons are for my ST and other routines.
    Yes retirement B) has been a blessing for my exercising scheduling


    Nola, Barb, Joan, Eliz sending my ~ best wishes for a health loving day~

    Karen: Great questions! And I agree w/your assessments, too. That I feel energized, stronger, those are signs I am progressing w/my exercises. Yes, I include DV, ST, and stretching. All muscle groups get worked.

    Eliza: Stay safe. I pray for those impacted by the fires. So many tragedies over the span of the pandemic.

    Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner. Wahoo! Had a nice time. Such good food. Always leftovers!

    Poor Miss Lilly was not feeling so good last night. Seems better today. Upset tummy. Poor baby.

    Well, we’ll see how this day unfolds.

    HUGS and enjoy Saturday.

    Happy Day "One For ALL" <3

    We had a great time at yesterday’s birthday party. Stayed longer than we planned. But our buddy had a good turn out of mutual friends so great time to catch-up. We played croquet, and enjoy a wonderful potluck.

    This morning I’ll be weeding and mowing the backyard

    Eliza, So sorry your area is in high heat AND extreme drought
    Our beloved forests are on fire and burning fast

    Barb great assessment too :) getting all those muscle groups
    Kisses to Miss Lilly!! Hope she feels better and better

    Joan and Nola B)B)

    Still not losing weight but I’m feeling better every day.
    My evenings are NOT consumed with unhealthy snacking.
    And after dinner, I’ll continue doing 10 minutes of cardio.
    This seems to help me stay-out of the sweets and gives DH time to eat his dessert WIN WIN
    Let’s start our Day ~~dancing~~ here’s Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

    Wednesday: Going out to breakfast this morning! Wahoo. Have a meeting @ our diner so it’s a bonus breakfast! Wonderful.

    Very hazy yesterday. Apparently residual smoke from the BC fires. Amazing.

    Here’s to a wonderful Wednesday.

    HUGS
    .
    Karen: We had haze from the fires, in British Columbia. Had it yesterday and at least it’s diminishing now.

    Had a good appointment!

    Jason had a check up and that went well.

    Gooood for you feeling better every day. So good to break the habit of unhealthy snacking. AND adding cardio after supper. Good job.

    OHHHHhhhhh who COULDN’T dance to Stayin’ Alive! Thanks!

    Nola, Eliza, Joan: Hope it’s a good day.

    Love the beegees and the disco beat! Grew up in that era, they never get old. Wicked storm yesterday but it broke the humidity. Beautiful evening tonight. In bit of a slump, no loss on scale for days. Have decided to take body measurements to look at progress instead. I feel great and clothes feel better but that darn scale has a hold on me, lol. Hugs to all and happy to have and give support.

    Barb sorry for your hazy skies :( It's amazing how far the winds can blow the pollutions
    Having your meeting at the diner would be perfect. Is this your medical friends.
    Are you wearing masks? I've started wearing mine again when shopping

    Joan 'wicked storm' doesn't sound good
    I seen the news about big floods in Colorado
    Be safe, don't lose your power (one of my fears)
    thanks for the reminder about body measurements, I took my waist measurement about 1 week ago.
    I don't feel like anything changed but visualizing/reinforcing a change should help

    Yesterday I did go to a park luncheon with 5 friends
    Today we are meeting by the river to play with our little tubes
    I'm getting to feel too old to fight river rocks but we'll see

    How's this for staying focused and out of the sweets :)
    Thinking this well HELP :)

    Thursday: Wow! Friday EVE! Unbelievable. Feels like it is jus speeding by.

    Jason had a check up yesterday and it went well.

    And we had a business meeting @ our diner. Wahoo for a good breakfast and getting things accomplished.

    Today – hair cut day!

    HUGS

    Joan: Yes, love the BeeGees, too. Glad the storm broke the humidity. Ours is building.

    Go by how you feel and how your clothes fit vs. the scale. It can be a liar! OY

    Karen: Yes, I am amazed @ the smoky haze. And it continues tday!

    No, yesterday it was a business meeting w/4 others and yes, word the mask. I do in public with the variant, even though fully vaccinated.

    Oh a park luncheon sounds wonderful!

    BWAHAHAHA! I think that’s a perfect ‘get-up’ to stay focused and out of the sweets!

    Have a good day ladies, and stay out of the sweets! LOL

    quick peek B)
    Barb enjoy your salon day, always a great pick me up <3
    Joan 'one day at a time' is my new philosophy for the week <3
    Nola prayers for calm before your hip surgery <3
    Eliza prayers your high heat are cooling <3

    I enjoyed yesterday's tubing luncheon.
    Always so exciting getting on the tube and then exiting the river so it's like a cardio HIIT routine.
    No rock bites is always a successful adventure

    Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner! Hurray!

    It . . . is . . . . warm . . . and . . . humid! Not a day for being outdoors for very long.

    Have a few indoor chores to do, so no getting in trouble.

    HUGS and stay cool.

    Karen: Sorry the smoke in infiltrating your area!

    Yes, found the location for our meeting next week. Feels better to have that done.
