    My exercise yesterday was a fun one.

    I went hiking with my husband and youngest son (37) tk a beautiful waterfall on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in NC. It was a 1.6 mile round trip. The weather was perfect with low humidity. The rhododendrons were in full bloom.

    The waterfall was so worth the hike.

    Love the waterfall. I could have used that this week when it was 85 here. I had to use the Pacific Ocean instead.

    Gorgeous pictures! The flowers are beautiful. We walked around a lake and saw a lot of baby ducks. Next time I will get some pictures to share.

    Hike looks beautiful!

    Yesterday was weights. I've been having trouble with my right knee (squating, lunges, step ups, walking down stairs...) I've been modifying some of those since the begining. I added in some physio exercises in addition to the modifications and it seems to be helping.

    Today is just a low key day of walking. We are taking the kids to the science center.

    I keep my walking clothes (pants, tops, undies) in a designated place so I can put them on first thing to go walking. I put on my headphones, turn on the audio book or music on my phone and I'm ready to go out the door with a jacket and outwear, if needed. I have dogs to walk, so I walk each one quickly to do business, then come in for breakfast, spiritual reading, and a quick peek at MFP, then go out again for a longer walk. I have exactly the same routine and same breakfast every morning so I don't have to bother my brain or waste time making decisions.

    I walked 2.49 miles while babysitting an outdoor cooker. I just can't seem to stand still while watching steam rise from a pot.......but the home brew was delicious........

    So our swimming pool finally opened today. It has been closed since July 4. I swam for 55 minutes today. It felt so good to be back swimming again.

    I used the recumbent bike yesterday. I managed 30 minutes at 15 rpm, about 7 miles. I'll do it again tonight.

    I need to put the bike back into required not optional behavior.

    I also need to pick up the arm weights and move them; not just across/around the room, but up and down for awhile. My batwings will never wave goodbye if I don't make them leave.
