JJs, squats and 13 burpees before the muscle made a fuss. Did leg challenges, an ab challenge, and part of a kickboxing workout until it became too much. Walk this morning w/Sara and Bean and then this afternoon w/SO and Bean. Managed to get in 18,196 steps today!! I might get on the recumbent tomorrow and peddle for an hour or so.0

Today I did squats, lunges, leg raises, crunches, sit ups, walked 4.10 miles w/my daughter and peddled the recumbent for 12.0 miles in 40 minutes. I worked out a total of 145 minutes. I did no upper body exercises.
I hope your vacation is fun!0 -
Today I only got in 3.24 miles in 48 minutes. That's all I could manage for some reason. I didn't change immediately when I got home...I messed around too long and lost my motivation...ate nuts and raisins...this is a confession...I shouldn't eat nuts and raisins.
I did receive new shoes today. A pair of New Balance and a pair of Skechers. Pretty cool!
Well, off to slumber-land for me. Hope all is well.

Today I got in 3.17 miles in 45 minutes and 35 minutes of challenges. The muscle is getting better everyday. Soon, I hope.
Wore my new shoes today. Everyone got a big kick out of them. I'm doing this wild color thing with my shoes these days. These were white with multicolor laces and multicolored soles and sides. Pretty cool!
Tomorrow's my REST DAY so I'm making soups. Friday I'm off work because we started 4/10's for summer. I'm off Fridays until August.
Got to go...have a great Wednesday!

Made two soups yesterday and went to bed early!!
Got half our challenge done today along with an ab challenge that had 125 sit ups in it!! and a Fitness at Home workout without the push ups. I was on the recumbent for 45 minutes and 13 miles, and then went outside for three miles in another 45 minutes. It was a pretty good day. My muscle is getting better.
We get Bean tomorrow morning, so it should be a fun Saturday! My weight is up but so is my consumption of salt!! hmmmm wonder if one could be because of the other?? bwahahahah! YES!0 -
I love New shoes.
I have a ton of kewl shoe laces that I swap out alot. Glad your muscle is healing nicely. I have been doing alot of walking. But nothing else. I so am not weighing in for awhile when I get back home! I was thinking of joining the push up challenge that starts tomorrow. Way to many push-ups by the end of the month! But could be fun!
You and Bean have a great Saturday. And watch your salt! Lol

Hi There!
Walked with Bean for 35 minutes this morning. It got killer hot here today. Even at 9:00 a.m. the sun was beating down on Bean's black coat. He drank 3/4 of my water bottle...he does pretty good most of the time. Sometimes it turns into a Bean Bottle and sometimes I'm lucky and it doesn't.
I got him a toy at the pet store...it's a fuzzy cloth bee hive with three openings to shove three fuzzy bees inside. The bees have squeakers in them. Anything that squeaks is Bean's favorite toy. We play for a long time with this silly thing. I stuff the bees inside and Bean sticks his mussel inside and pulls them out and proceeds to chew on them until he can get the squeaker out and then he pulls all the stuffing out. He goes through squeaky bees like nobody's business. Today I stopped and got bees, squeaky squirrels, and squeaky balls. We're having a blast!!
I joined a Squat/Crunch challenge that started today. I was in an ab challenge last month that ended with insane crunches. I started doing standing oblique twists with a 4 pound medicine ball. There was no way I could do 200 crunches! I'll end up doing that this time too. This challenge ends with 150. Not quite as bad!! It ends with 250 squats...I don't think I've done that many in one day, but I can do squats in the auditing room at work.
I joined a SLIM in 6 group that started today and I started JM's Body Revolution over. I was doing okay on our new challenge with 4 pound weights until half way through then I didn't use any weights. The muscle is almost healed.
When are you back from vacation? I'm off on the 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, ... 13th and 14th. I'll go in on the 12th just because I have a faculty payroll coming up and want to make sure some things get posted...no one takes over for us Payroll Techs when we are out. We aren't going anywhere, we're puppysitting!! My daughter and her BF are going to Disney World for a week or so.
Well, this is pretty long so I better go. Have a great weekend!!
