    Last week I did great trying to exercise to Youtube videos. However, my neck caught up with me over the weekend and I have not exercised in 4 days. Hope to start again tomorrow.

    Happy October.....seems September flew by, We have had DD & SIL here twice for a long wk end,usually 4 days. They are 6 hrs away since moving to NC,a doable drive from us.
    Everyone who is hurting or recovering nicely,take care. Right now our family is fine & we are getting along.Our local DD had her Happy Fall pot luck & weiner roast Saturday eve. That is also DHs BD.We have a lot of BDs this mo,so need to get cards ready to send.
    Weather is wonderful,low 50s/high 70s & sunny.Was on the back porch with a book for a couple hrs,just enjoying the day.

    Diet wise.....Not doing any exercise except walking,Dr's orders. Still tracking my food & almost never go over my calorie limit. Tried on a fav light wt jacket [Love jackets!] & it was just a smidgen too big.I take my compliments where I find them.

    PS,part of my post was deleted? Thought that was old news,but guess not :/

    :)NYKAREN, I am taking a prescription pain med, an OTC pain med and a prescription muscle relaxer so the pain is controlled enough that walking and sleeping and sitting are comfortable...but I have enough pain to remind me to be careful.

    Did 10 minutes of an ab DVD, held my plank for 2 min 50 sec, then the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 20-40-60 workout on the treadmill. That's running for 20 seconds, walking fast for 40, recovering for 1 minute.

    Betty - good for you having that chocolate cake! I know that if I'm craving something, I just can't do without it, I need to have at least a little bit. That's usually enough to satisfy me. I know that some ladies on here can't have even just a small taste of something like that. Well, we're all different.

    DJ - Christmas in October? What about Halloween? How well does that go over? Is this the first time the Moose has done this? I've heard a lot of people complaining about the fact that the stores have christmas things in them now, that's why I questioned it.

    Alison - so sorry about your friend

    Toni - hip hip horray

    Will go to the Y to work out and then have an eye MD appt. Afterwards, we're going to go to the home of the couple who is cohosting the Halloween Party with us to get tables from them and anything else that they might have. Then tomorrow night is Mexican Train.

    Now, I usually write my post in a Word document and then copy and paste it. I'm going to try the color, see how it comes out if I put it in the document. We shall see.

    Welcome to everyone new!

    Toni: Congrats on the loss!

    Barbie: Glad the pain is tolerable

    Marcelyn: Hope you are able to manage the PT with less pain soon.

    Fancy: Love the hair.

    DJ: Nice score on the evening bags etc.

    First day back to work from holidays...whew and it was an all day meeting. No wonder my hips are sore - all of that sitting. Tried to make up for it when I got home by going grocery shopping.

    Goals for Oct:
    - Increase walking now that the hamstring has healed
    - Get to Tai Chi at least once a week


    Nighty Night,
