Finished the shelves yesterday. Now I'm moving boxes. The garage is almost empty. And I've been so salty each night, it felt like being pickled in brine. Thank heavens for showers!

Did 20 mins on the elliptical and a 25 min HIIT routine...will feel that tomorrow. I haven't been on an elliptical in 5 months! Felt good...

The garage is finished. Moved the car in. There's a gas leak that stank up the place. Moved the car out. Called the auto repair shop.
There are fires nearby from last weekend's lightning, friends are being evacuated. Five miles and heading away from us, so we are probably safe (fingers crossed) but how strange is the year...

Paula - thinking of you and hoping the fires stay far away from you and your friends. Agree....thi has been a year thats for sure. You are one tough woman to get through as much as you have!
We pick bella up from camp on Saturday. Where did 6 weeks go? Glad she got the chance to go away. Still amazed that they managed to keep COVID free with 350 people there. School will start in a week and a half. She is meant to do hybrid...3 days home, 2 days in school....but we will see if that actually happens.

Tuesday:
Walk - 2.4 miles - 50 minutes.
Taking a break Wednesday to put some things back in the kitchen. The painters are not coming back until Saturday to reinstall the cabinets. I love, love , love the new color. Finally got it right.
Take care everyone!

Congrats! on your new wall, Kathy! Glad it worked out. Sounds like your guy was great.
Walked 2.14 miles in 45 mins. then worked out w/Pete for 60 mins. It's been a good day.

Wow Karen! I can't believe she has been gone 6 weeks already either! I sure hope she enjoyed herself. Elliptical looks great. We need a video of you on it.
Kathy did you really cancel your gym membership? And here I am thinking of getting one. Love that color. I might have to steal your idea. It looks so calming. And with the sunlight coming in it is bliss!
Chris look at you go again. Got to love when modern medicine meets modern woman!
Paula crossing fingers for you. Fires scare the deal out of me! How is your kit doing with the smoke? My puppies would hate it. Hope the car is fixed quickly. I go love a good long shower after a long day of moving things.
30 minutes on the treadmill and cut out 8 masks to see this week. Halloween themed.

Kathy - We canceledl our gym membership as well. We belong to both planet fitness on our local Y as a family.
I heard that the gym is one of the most high risk places you can go relative to COVID. I just can't wrap my head around how to keep it clean with all that sweating, heavy breathing and bodily fluid! So we decided we were gonna give it a pass for a while and we can always rejoin later. It's part of the reason why we bought the elliptical and have been doing weight routines at home.
We are also taking up hiking as a family. We've done a few long hikes which Belle in partihas loved (she doesn't love exercise)....i just invested in Merell hiking boots for Jim, Bella and I. So we are ofdicisl "hikers" LOL.
I do miss the gym though....a TON.

Kathy - Cant wait to see the pictures once everything is put back together!

Nothing...too much smoke out there!

Did 25 minutes on the elliptical this morning. Always feel so great exercising in the morning...when I can motivate myself to do it lol!1
-
I spent two days evacuating and then a third day with awful cramps and bulging beings. When I looked it up, it said it could be heat exhaustion, no surprise there. Gave myself permission to sleep as much as my body needs. Sometimes you have to not exercise.1
-
Paula I wish you guys were here with me. I would let you use my basement where it stays cooler. This is so sad.
Shelley1 -
Paula...yes...gentle kindness is the best medicine 0

30 minutes on elliptical to start the day...1

Yes, Paula, take good care of yourself.

My only exercise yesterday and probably today, is inhaling smoke...

Walked 40 minutes to the postoffice and back. Boy am I outta shape!

I am so sorry Chris. It is bad here also. But I have a treadmill. And when this trial is done I can walk inside of the building.
Only got in about 45 minutes today. Busy between mom and work.
