@taradaniel40 You are so right! Jumping is hard work. I told my husband that I'm going to have to work on that everyday and just add my minutes up.
@lynnbaum My husband walks so much slower than me now. When we first got together I had to do a little jog to keep up with him. Now I just take leisurely walks with him and do a speedier walk in the morning without him.
@lpeltenburg I brought hand weights with me today to the dialysis center so I could do one of the videos. My husband and I are in training right now so that we can do his dialysis at home. I figured I may as well get something done while he's sitting in the chair.
I shouldn't have many problems with the colors challenge. I had just gone to the store and bought several different fruits. I also got a four mile walk in this morning. New shoes got here yesterday and my feet didn't hurt while walking so I just kept going. Yay!

While waiting in line this a.m. to vote I decided to use the time to get in some exercises. I had enough time to get in a good 30 minutes of exercises - calf raises, leg lifts, squats, arm rotations, steps...It was GREAT! And tonight I made it to the gym. Did one of the arm videos. I'm still working on the jumping rope. In the meantime, I'm hopscotching. I decided to do that today at lunch while my food was in the microwave. It was a little hard to explain what in the world I was doing when a co-worker walked in the break room. I have to be creative about getting exercise done.

Good morning everyone. I'm feeling blessed and sore this morning:-) I played hopscotch with two of my granddaughters yesterday. Ages five and seven and we had a blast! Needless to say I haven't played hopscotch in years and I struggled with it but a few words of wisdom from my seven year old granddaughter kept me going. "It's ok if you're not perfect at it MomMom just keep trying". Funny thing is she kept repeating it to me over & over! Lol!

Hey, friends...been a rough day today, but I managed to go to the gym on my lunch break and work out some frustration on the treadmill (which I hate, I would have rather run outside but that wasn't possible today) and the elliptical. I still have yet to do the jumping or arm videos, but I'll get to them, I promise. Doing pretty good on the colors so far. I've been so bad with mindless eating lately. Need to buckle down and stop excusing it. I have a specific weight loss goal to reach by the end of the year and I'm only 3 lbs away. Gotta get there!

@SmashleyM914 I didn't want to do anything today either. It was a day off from my husband's dialysis training and I was just not motivated to do anything. It was nice to be home for the day and not stressing about learning how to set up and run his machine or checking his vitals. I plan on being up early tomorrow and walking before we head out for the day.

I am voting daylight saving Been rough. Did some shopping last night. I parked by menards and then walked to other store. I did 2 of the arm videos this morning and looking for my jump rope. I need to get the jumping thing done. I eat a bunch of salads so the color thing is easy. I am noticing that I eat better when I track what I eat. I need to get back to tracking

@Calli1616 @Ellebee332 @RuthQ1 is everything good with you mates? Hope so.

I finished the jumping challenge today but I think I am going to keep it up. It seems to be working a lot of muscle groups. My Abs are sore! The color thing is not a problem for me at all I can usually do three just for breakfast let alone the rest of the day.

Good morning all!

I agree with the jumping rope. I would like to stick it out at least a few times a week.

I ran back & forth to the gym today & lifted weights. I am happy with the progress I am making, but I am feeling it right this minute. I feel like I might not be able to walk later today. It was very windy & cold on my way home from the gym. I almost called DH to come & get me, but I persevered for the team. Every minute counts right?

Have a great Friday!

Did I read somewhere, something about how to count smoothies for the color challenge? Can someone post the answer please.

I finished the jump roping and I've done each of the arm videos once. My arms are kind of like jello today, so I'll get the last one in tomorrow!
The jumping rope kills me though, glad it's over.
