    Good start and great photo, sims. You looked happy then and now. Cape Cod must be a beautiful place.

    This Thursday is thrilling for me because my college classes have started again and I have a paper due tomorrow. The whole thing with fitness is to fit it in during work and school.

    My goals:
    Going to be a low day to give my arms a rest.
    50 triceps dips: 15
    50 granny push ups: 15
    50 push ups on the stairs: 10
    50 squats: 25
    3 planks: 1

    Planning to walk to work soon. My dog's arthritis is bothering her -- she sees the vet tomorrow. We might drive to work today if she has problems on the walk.

    Sounds beautiful, chani8. We just have damp and cold here too.

    My goals:
    Going to be a low day to give my arms a rest.

    50 granny push ups: 50 winning
    50 push ups on the stairs: 50 winning

    My upper body is aching all over from the push ups I've been doing.... I have a half-and-half body, in shape legs and no strength in my arms. Hopefully I can change that this year -- 2014, THE YEAR OF THE ARMS!

    Oh no, Sims, did you get hurt?

    I was hoping to do some pushups today but I'm giving my shoulder one more day of rest.

    You all are doing awesome!! Have a great day!

    Everybody needs a day of rest, sims, and you've earned yours!

    I am still aching from my little bit of exercise. Just tells me how out of shape I am... pacing myself is important. This is a long term effort.
