    Chris you are killing me. I will try and get through them. I think I will be doing the second one with Casey, the lower impact one. :D

    My cartilage-free knees don't have bounce so don't jump, run, kneel, or squat. It looks like the modifications in the first one take that into account - just my speed. <3

    I’m joining the aerobic, weight lifting team as I’m not able to get out as much. This might be a good change for me. Keep them coming Chris.

    Ok if Kathy is in I am. Though I must admit to 2 small purchases this week. Both from Beach Body and Shaun T. The first Hip Hop abs, if I remember correctly. I really was looking at lots. And then Cize. Always wanted to try it. I found an original on Ebay with a low price. The person has moved onto different routines.

    Chris did your trainer like the weights? And I want ice-cream!

    So...I whined thru the entire hand weight exercise with the new weights...barely made three sets of 10 bicep curls...bwahahahaha! She only added one new weight to the 15. That was plenty!! I could not have lifted it with two of the new weights on a 15 pounder. EGADS!!! Silly me to complain that I thought the 15's were getting too easy.

    We had some killer fog this morning...couldn't see anything...could not see past the front of the house across the street. This afternoon is BEAUTIFUL!!! You would never have guessed we had such dense fog this morning! Strange weather.

    Must go read now.

    Love you guys! <3

    Did my 3# arm sets yesterday afternoon. Then went to a Halloween hiphop party at the local sports bar that night.

    One hiphop girl asked "Do you really like this kind of music?!" and when I nodded, exclaimed "That's so A-dor-able!". Later another girl said I was her hero. I felt like a cute old lady.

    I would've preferred to just fit in. It's more comfortable when enthusiasm matters more than looks. Some groups gather just to share their joy and love of music, dance and camaraderie. It's nice when stuff like age, beauty, race, garb, and size are meaningless.

    Chris that is hilarious! I went down on my bench press. Just was not feeling it. Funny how just another 1.25 pounds can kick our butts. Good thing you did not just jump to 20 lbs. Glad your day turned beautiful

    Paula it sounds like you had loads of fun. I chose to skip our party. Killed zombies and worked out with the granddaughter. Would have gone with you though

    Balanced my accounts today. Paid bills and cleaned my tanks. Then bought a Santa Monica algae scrubber. Way to expensive. But I want my tanks to shine. Loved all the costumes tonight.

    Back to a realistic goal and stop focusing on 179. It hasn’t happened for the last 3 months. I’m following the advice Chris gave me of healthy snacks of celery, carrots, peppers and popcorn. And will add other healthy veggies and fruit. No snacks in the house. Have to get rid of my craving for sugar! 😡 Will buy them for my parents only when they ask for them. Starting the month with meatless Monday.

    My aunt returns home Wednesday. It’s been such a blessing having her here. She and my mom have been doing light exercises daily. My aunt learned them in physical therapy and shared with mom. I will make sure it continues because my mom likes the daily movement.

    Let’s go, make it a November to be truly thankful.

    Kathy I enjoyed doing exercises with my mom. Glad to know you are following Chris's advice.

    My mom won't be staying with me as much. They think the altitude is exacerbating her health problems. :(

    Going to go get beat up by my trainer at noon today. That's what I get for telling me she is going too easy on me. My crashes to the cement seem to bother her a lot. :#

    Last night was a lot of fun! So many detailed costumes and makeup!! A lot of kids. Handed out Play Doh and cut-outs to use on it. The kids love it. I let them choose their own color and cut-out. I only had about six left in the end. Added them to Ronan's Play Doh stash.

    Sara brought over a chocolate pudding covered with cookies...Oh my!! It was really good!! Went off track after that. My tummy is still yelling at me about it. :p

    Kathy I like you inspiration. Going to do it with you.

    Chris I am still laughing over those butterfingers! None for you my friend. And I hope your trainer does not go easy on you. You will benefit for it. :#

    I did some Shaun T Rocking Body this morning. I discovered I do have 2 left feet. Riding my bike tonight.

    Rocky bought a 20 foot shipping container for on the mountain. Delivering it today. So glad to get the side by side out of my garage!

    Karen the costumes were so wonderful this year.

    Has anyone done a Beach Body on Demand? I am thinking of trying it. Maybe just do the free trial first.

    Recumbent bike 30 mins - 5.38 miles.

    Aunt Tee is back in Buffalo. After we dropped her at the airport my mom was a little sad and said she was going to miss her so much. So I took her to Hobby Lobby to buy Christmas decorations. We had fun and it made her happy! 😆

    Did a combination of cardio and weights last night with my granddaughter.

    Kathy Christmas shopping for decorations always makes me feel better also. Glad you gals had fun. How is your dad?

    So Rocky noticed a truck parked across our street was listed as stolen on Facebook. So he called it in. The owners son came. They removed the battery since the keys were also stolen and not in the truck. This is a really nice work truck with a new flatbed. I learned something. Those huge F-350's have 2 batteries! Crazy. And the thief came back and drove it away on the remaining battery. Now I might be uninformed since I did not know there were 2 batteries. But since the guys knew it why did they not remove them both?

    I am betting it is parked somewhere in my neighborhood right now.

    Kathy, glad you had fun! I'll go Christmas decoration diving in the garage...need my Charlie Brown Christmas tree and the elf to stand guard at the front door. Not sure which container they are in...

    Shelley, that's a bit crazy. I didn't know the two battery trick.

    Workout yesterday was good. Going for a walk in a bit...maybe. Need to go to the store today, too.

    Chris I thought it was a bit much when I learned it also. 24 volts! Those two should have removed both. Have fun with that tree. Sounds adorable.

    Did a 30 minute cize workout with Shaun T. Not to hard. Did sweat a little. I will try it again. Need to get better at it.

    I just ordered Masters Hammer and Chisel workout from Beachbody. Had to get it used off eBay since they are not selling it anymore. I love dumbbell work outs.
