Let's continue with our DVD workouts (or whatever you are currently doing) and add the Rearwards Challenge posted here. Do this every day or every other day. This will help our backs.
Let me know what you think.

I think I'm gonna look silly on my tummy like a trained seal with this laptop on the floorin front of my face trying to peer at these pictures!0

Paula that is awesome! I love that quote!
Print it off and place it low on a wall. But the image of you as a seal is so much more fun! 
Chris funny, I have been working up to the dynamic bows! I can get one ankle.......

Kathy I did log tonight. But then I added something and it made me over. But it still said I was under....So I deleted it.
There is discord in my older tank. Jackson & Jillybean, the clown fish, do not like Ruby, the Flame Angel fish. Ruby is always taunting them. Might have to be an eviction! Why can the kids not play nice? Brats!

Going to walk this morning w/DH and Bean if it stops raining (it's cold outside!) then I'm having lunch with two ladies I worked with in Martinez. Hoping I have my mojo back enough to get on the bike when I get home. Don't know if DDD and I are doing the gym. They might have D'land lag...you know...like jet lag? ...Disneyland lag??? *snicker*

Heading back to Houston from New Orleans. Funeral went well, got to see lots of relatives. Will have some days without visitors before the Family from New Zealand comes to see us before they fly back home.
Looking forward to normalcy and getting back to my routine eating.0 -
Have a safe trip, Clara.
Got my walking done and the bike...lunch was rescheduled for April 1st. too much rain/slick on roads and Hiwy 4 nastiness. DH working on the TV/DVD player/sound around thingy...will get a workout in before bedtime.
Back later,
Chris

No workout...7.41 miles yesterday, 5.85 miles today and 13.00 bike miles today. Finished another book. I'm good! Back to 1st grade tomorrow.

Chris, I tried Rearward (try saying that fast out loud three times)- anyway, my body has always had a difficult time lifting legs;my torso will tip over before the legs will go up. Don't know if its body-type (light on top heavy on bottom) or a lack of core muscles.
How about if I do some planks & pushups to work on that core, will that do? Anyway, for now I am clenching toes again. It feels surprisingly good.
I have to go let Maynard out of the little crate. He was a bad boy and sprayed in the kitchen near daddy. Poor baby was excited, but immediately knew it was a whoopsie.
Best wishes to you all!
:flowerforyou: Paula0 -
Paula is Maynard named after the old Dobie Gillis character?0
-
Oh no Paula! Better the crate than the boot I say! Hopefully Maynard has learned his lesson. And Paula keep trying it, but then do the planks. Well it works for me. Must wait for Chris to give you the final word!
Chris great going. I know you had fun with your friends.
Clara glad you will be back. I love company though.
I took yesterday off. Hubby came back from Las Vegas. To a leak in the bathroom! Up on the roof he went. Silly boy, it was slick with snow and ice. Hopefully it is stopped now though. Not sure if I will get in a workout tonight or not. I will at least get in one of the Darebees that Chris posted. I must change some water out of my 65 gallon aquarium. I am treating it for red slime. Nasty stuff. But it is a sure sign that the hair algae problem I have been dealing with is on the way out!
OK, good news. My Sgt. that is so awful to me has been promoted to LT. Which means she will be going back to the jail the 1st of April! I am so ecstatic! I so can't wait to see who will replace her. A bit nervous at this point.
Shelley0 -
Shelley...that's great news about your Sgt. making Lt.!! Only 23 days until she's gone! Had to reschedule with my friends. Red slime sounds awful!! I hope the treatment fixes it.
Paula...ya gotta do what works! My body doesn't bend like the pictures do either! Bur Shelley's right...give it a try then do planks. Planks are good...
Walked with DH and Bean then got on the bike for 53 mins and an episode of Covert Affairs then went to 1st grade. Then I had to go get avocados and bananas. Then I took Bean home. I'm making excuses for not doing the Darebees workout...We have the gym tomorrow night, but I have Thurs and Fri off from 1st grade so I will do it then.
Tomorrow will be a great day for all of us!!

Yes, the goateed Maynard B Krebs (played by Bob Denver, later famous as Gilligan)! You're the first person who ever guessed that. He has longish hair on his chinny chin chin and always had milk dripping from it when he was a kitten. :laugh:claram5415 wrote: »Paula is Maynard named after the old Dobie Gillis character?

Okay, Chris, I will do planks! :ohwell:
Shelley, Please congratulate your Sgt/Lt for me. :laugh:
Paula0 -
Walked w/DH and Bean for 4.0 miles in 91 mins (6.62 total miles for 14,430 steps) then got on the recumbent for 13.00 miles in 46 mins and and an episode of Lucifer then went to 1st grade then went to the gym w/DDD and met with our trainer for a brutal 60 min workout. I'm done!
Hope you all had a grand Wednesday and will have a terrific Thursday!!
Chris0 -
Just a quick question. Would anyone mind if I invited Michellewrangler to join us? I thought someone asked about her before.
I did congratulate her, and took in chocolate to make her remember me fondly! Muahaha
Ok I know who Gilligan was, and then you two lost me.
Paula that was planks only after attempting the proper move! Sheesh I know not what to do with you!
Got in 30 minutes of hall walking and half hour of yoga. Could not grip both feet though!
I so am trying though!
Shelley0 -
Shelley...yes, we did talk about inviting Michellewrangler to join us. I think it would be a great idea. Cool move with your Sgt/Lt!
And...maybe you are too young to remember Maynard B Krebs (I always thought it was Maynard G Krebs, though)!!! He was rather a beatnik...
Paula...listen to Shelley. I know when I try that #6, the back of my thighs are both going to cramp up like crazy! They are starting to cramp up now and I'm just thinking about the move!! Egad!
Getting the pup in a few minutes then we are off for our morning walk. No 1st grade today. They are having a Field Trip and have Mom's and Dad's to help out, so I'll get everything done this morning.
Later, my friends!

Haven't gotten to try moves yet but have been doing am workout in spite of relatives in the house and estate paperwork. Have been tracking and now I'm working on staying within my daily calories0
-
I agree about inviting Michelle.0
-
Okay...after repeated cramping of my left thigh muscle, I was able to grab a hold of the back of my socks and preform the exercise 6 perfectly...of course, my socks will never be the same! And I felt like a downward facing seal for most of it!! bwahahaha!
Walked w/DH and Bean this morning for 6.0 miles in 126 mins (7.27 total miles for 15,867 steps) then got on the bike for 12.00 miles in 46 mins and an episode of Lucifer then did a little bit of our challenge...a little bit...then took a nap. First grade went on a field trip and had parents going, so DDD didn't need me.
Tomorrow is my REST DAY. I'm having lunch w/my college journalism instructor and a friend I had journalism with. We've remained friends for 18 or 19 years. Journalism has changed so much in that time... Some of it is better than the fiction I can dream up!!
I weigh in tomorrow...we'll see. I was up this morning but I think it was because of the insane workout Wednesday evening. My thighs are so sore!! Egad!!
Tomorrow, my friends!!

OMG, I would love to see Michelle more!0

Sorry I've been missing lately but it's been a crazy busy work week and had to deal with a few personal family issues. Haven't completed the challenge this week but had tennis practice on Tuesday and coaching Thursday night.
Shelley I missed 1 day if logging...I went to bed after practice and just forgot. Back at it today.
Also invite whomever you want...any friend of yours....
TGIF!!!

ROTFLMAO, Chris I so am visualizing you grabbing them socks!
Oops, got to run. Still at work, jury is out.0 -
Finally got home around 10:00 pm. Guilty verdicts in an indecent liberties with a minor.
Ok I was looking for a stationary bike for my daughter. If I could I would so get her a Peloton cycle. Wow is all I can say. But you need $40 a month for the classes and a good WiFi. And that is after you buy the bike! Awesome bike!
Shelley0 -
Michelle...we have spilling out everywhere...ya gotta be careful not to set in it!
Shelley...I have a drawer full of socks that help me exercise...bwahahah! I am not flexible!
I'm meeting DDD and SIL at the gym in 30 mins. We were given instructions by our trainer...no strength workouts until we meet back with her on the 23rd. She has some plan in mind for us. So, I'm all cardio for the next week and a half.
Then I'll walk w/DH and then get on the bike. The kids are coming over for cake and ice cream and a movie tonight.
I'll check in later.

Today was the day we cooked the aquarium rocks in a bit of acid. Crossing fingers this removes all the copper! Made a dessert, I so will not be eating lots of it. Sharing with the neighbors. And walked my darling boys along the Platte river.
Chris hope your gym date was productive with DDD. I am doing cake and a movie tonight. But frozen yogurt instead of ice-cream. Great minds think a lot. So what is all this cardio? I think you just want out of lifting. Hmmmmm Nope that can not be it. 
I want to know this plan of hers also. She is sneaky I tell you.

Shelley, cooking rocks in acid sounds like something you'd arrest yourself for...egad!!
I think our trainer is worried about my hip and my shoulder even though they haven't given me any trouble lately. And she wants to work on our form. She said she's been letting us slack a little and wants to clean it up. It also means no assisted pull ups...that makes me a little sad...not a lot...just a little.
DDD and I walked on the treadmills for 30 mins while SIL played with all the big boy weights!! He can do some pretty amazing things like jump straight up on a tall table. I can't even get my body/mind to think that way!! I see myself jumping just high enough to scrap the skin off my shins on the way down...
DH and I walked 6 miles after I got home from the gym. I have 10.41 total miles for 21,909 steps right now. No bike today.
Today is my birthday...I really am older than Paula now...so I had all my favorites. I would tell you about them but then you all would run out, get them and eat them because they are so stinking good! I do not want to be responsible for some mass binge!!! Just know that I had a good time with DH, the kids and Bean!! Tomorrow I will be back on track.
Today was fun!
