    Oh yea.. I did it! Oh yea.. I did it!:bigsmile: I did my 20,000 steps goal today. Woo hoo! I had a plan of go to the gym, walk the mall, and then a second gym workout.. but it didn't quite work out that way. I got to the gym in the morning but only stayed 35 minutes because I had to drive my daughter home to get ready for a date. I mall walked with my son and hubby, but then my husband had to rest because he wasn't feeling well. I didn't want to leave my son alone so I took him with me to the gym. We walked the indoor track and then played racquetball. The gym closed so we came home and walked another half mile before we froze. I was still short of steps so I walked my living room over and over again until I hit the 20,000 mark. What a day!

    Arc trainers are an interesting machine. They are a little like the elliptical but the movement is different. It offers a good burn. Carrielynn62 got kettlebells for a birthday present. It came with a dvd. She absolutely loves it! Is there a gym in your area bokatok that you can try a arc machine to see how you like it?

    We have a couple of gyms nearby but we are on a super tight budget so it just isn't in the cards right now. :-(

    I am just getting back form a vacation...I was able to get several days of good walks in the warmer weather and since my return home...my hubby walked with me on Valentines Day and I had a great walk again today...I was thinking I needed to add a new workout as well...this challenge will get me to find one...I am logging in daily and since feeling better, my exercise has cranked up...
    thanks team Bob for the ongoing support!

    That is awesome! Family support can really make the difference

    Maybe if you talk to the gym they would give you a free or cheap day pass so you could at least try it.

    I want to up date everyone that has been praying for my family[son-en-law,brother and now my someday nephew] My son en-law we were told that they expect him to have a full recovery, he will need to be in a rehab center for a while after he is released. We were told that only half of aneurysm patents make it to the hospital and only half on those make it at all. We feel sooooo blessed and we can see God at work all around us.
    My brother who had a stroke 5-days before this is in rehab and doing much better, he is walking with asstence and working real hard so he can get back on a tractor [ that will take a lot of time].
    My someday nephew [Aprils special someoneS
    scott] had surgery to repare his leg.
    They all have a long road ahead of them, but they are here and God has a plan and sees the whole pitcure . We are putting our trust in God and we are all resting in His promise and His love.
    Thank-you for all your prayers and I ask you all to continue to pray.

    Your partner and friend Carrie
