At the summit of Piestawa Peak, I saw a hiker seated and in tune with the early morning vista. I really like how the sun backlit the cactus too.
I hope you have a great day wherever you are!

It’s hard to capture steepness with a photo. If you look close you can see hikers strung out like Christmas tree light on the mountain side at Piestawa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona.7 -

Short walk today. Had the opportunity to go fly in a nearby undercover car-park. Managed to not crash into any pillars or the roof.

@Elbee1 - Linda, great job there sweetie. You're doing great. I remember when I first started doing workouts - squats, lunges etc, it wasn't pretty, lol.
You're muscles are really gonna really ache, so be sure to take a rest day in between each workout, and increase your protein intake (veg, eggs, beans, chicken, etc). I did the same and the weight just dropped off.
Also food containing natural antioxidants, like blueberries, will help each muscle soreness and ginger too.
I've also been told that concentrated cherry juice twice a day really works wonders for bouncing back after a grueling workout, but haven't tried it myself.

Wrote a big update and pressed the “done” button... it just took me out of the community area in the app and I lost the post.
Summary ... yes x 3. Still have a cold, have a running event this weekend. Getting nervous with this cold.
Prepping house for painting and some more gardening yesterday, lots of on-feet time.

Well, all you amazing people are kicking my butt today. I was going to count mucking out stalls, wheeling out and dumping the wheelbarrow, lugging hay, sweeping the barn, and bringing the crazy horses in as my exercise for today. Then I read through the remaining posts from yesterday and today and will have to do something that gets the heart rate up much more than that! Thanks for the inspiration to earn my shower for real.6

@jugar LOL...That sounds like plenty of exercise to me. I'm sure it was more than the requisite 20 minutes, but every bit helps!1 -

@jugar I work as a domestic cleaner but only count and enter it into my diary after 4 hours...it's like my comfort blanket4

Yes x 3 mainly walking today. Also stretching after sitting all morning in a committee meeting for a charity I volunteer for - since leaving work my tolerance for meetings (never high) has dropped right off! At least it was a productive meeting.4

I seem to be getting into my routine again thankfully! 10 min Qigong, 16 min yoga, 32 min Salsacise DVD, 30 min cleaning, 60 minute walk into town in snow... hasn't settled but should get more tonight here in uk

Yes. FPV racing quads (not the DJI photo/video drones).
FPV is first person view. The quad is flown while looking at a live video feed from the model. Feels a lot like flying. However you cannot see behind you (what's behind is not important ).
Also fly RC helicopters, but that never feels as much like flying. My eyesight in one eye is poor enough that I was never permitted to learn to fly a full size aircraft.
Love the challenge of getting these things to fly as well as flying them. There is a lot of technology involved in building and flying an FPV racing quad (or an RC helicopter for that matter).
Models are relatively inexpensive to build (round $300) and suffer little if any damage in a crash. Carbon fibre frames (strong and light), Lithium polymer batteries (high energy, but self combustable if mis-treated). We take A LOT of care to ensure it is done safely as 1 lb travelling at 60+mph with 5" diameter propellers spinning round 50,000 rpm can do a lot of damage (even with small flexible plastic propellers).

Very interesting hobby @craigo3154 . I'm thinking anyone could get in some pretty precarious situations, so I can see why care would be needed. I do enjoy watching some of the online YouTube videos of what is footage taken from what I presume to be DJI photo/video drones. There were some pretty good ones online of Iguazu Falls in South America... and there are several good U.S. National Park Videos done on YouTube under MTJP meaning More Than Just Parks. They are very nice to watch.
I have a younger brother who is a pilot on a smaller commuter line, as well as my younger sister who had her pilot's license, as well. I wouldn't have been able to fly either, as I was cross-eyed when born. Multiple surgeries as a toddler; and again, as a teenager have straightened them... but I have monocular vision, so depth perception is compromised. I enjoy flying...but it will always be just for travel which Jim and I both enjoy.4 -
Yes x 3

Yes x 3 - ended up doing a quick half hour on the snowshoes just to enjoy the latest new snow, then the barn chores for an hour. The horses were happy with their clean beds.5
-
Yes x 3 with enough leeway for a light evening snack a bit later. The usual exercise videos with Gilad earlier today. We just returned from Hawaii so he is a good reminder of our cruise.2

@jugar Don’t be ashamed to count your very physical barn chores and horseback activities as exercise! I’m a 67 year old “fair weather” rider. In the green season, I lose weight due to those two activities. I don’t know where you live but “jugar” or “to play” is what horses mean to me1

Exercise: easy flat desert hike. I’m breaking in new hiking boots
Calories: nice margin below limit

Yes x3. Got in a 35 minute kickboxing/upper body strength workout before I started feeling a little off. My kids have been sick this week and I’m starting to think I might not be able to avoid it!4
