    Elliptical - 30 minutes and 30 minute upper body workout this morning. Tomorrow will be a rest day. We’ll probably be iced in and I will not be able to get to PF.

    Hi everyone. I was so busy having fun the last few days. Walking, bike rides, movies and visits. Hard to believe I was able to ride my bike in January! Worked out with weights a few times. Made lemon bars to share with friends.

    So glad to see you are all on track. I am down 2 pounds. No eating after 8:30. Plan on moving it back some soon. I finally cut out all soda. My mom is coming in March to visit.

    Sadly though Rocky's sister is not expected to survive more than a couple weeks. We have not seen her much in the last 20 years. It is hard to keep in touch half way across the country. So glad he visited her in November.

    Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts.

    Chris hill walking is, well it is just strenuous! Great job.

    Kathy you are making the most of PF. Great job.

    Paula how are you doing? Any dancing lately. Such a great work out.

    I did a mile walk today with my short legged kids and their dad. Then spent 2 hours cleaning aquariums. Always feel so good when they are done. And I like to imagine the fish like it. I went to Petco to get a few mollies. I just like them. Bought 5. Dalmation ones. Then noticed they had a blue spotted jawfish. What a comical little guy. Yep, I bought it and they are all in quarantine. 😂

    Soooo, he doesn't look like he wants to be friends, Shelley. I need a side view to be sure. He is beautiful, tho.
    Going to workout w/my trainer at noon today. Might try to walk around the high school when I get home. Tried to do that yesterday but got side-line by a five-year-old who said he wanted to go with me, but then he decided we all needed to go to No Name Park to play in the sand. He climbed in to the top of the play castle and was running back and forth, playing a game with Grandpa and being a crazy kid...scared me to death!! Could not watch him!!! Crimeny!

    Chris jump in with him next time. Seriously though I so get it. Good luck on your walk today. Here is a video of one that is not mine but is the same kind of fish.

    PS, my fitbit is dying. Anyone like a specific one?

    Today was lower body & abs - 30 minutes along with 60 minutes on Treadmill. My Achilles started hurting so stopped.

    Shelly I have a Fitbit Versa 2. I like it. I wanted an Apple Watch but couldn’t pull the trigger on $400. I’m happy with the Fitbit. I believe I paid less than $200 for it on QVC.

    Shelley, the video was so cute!! I loved the end where it disappeared!! :D
    I have the Versa 3. Sara has the Versa 2. I like mine. She likes hers. I was looking at the next one up from mine...Fitbit Sense...and it only does three things mine doesn't and I'm not interested in those three things, so nopey, nope on the most expensive one.
    My workout today was sweaty!!! Man! :#

    Shelley, I was up top with him while he was playing and climbing and trying stuff, and I was dying.
    "Kid, please slow down!"
    "Why, Grandma?"
    "Because..."
    "Because...Why, Grandma? I'm not even going fast, right I Grandpa?"
    I had to climb down and watch the gardeners...

    Ok Kathy and Chris I will look at the Versa 2 & 3. And right now I have spent my allowance I give myself. So research and then buy a new watch. Muahahaha, fish are so much more fun.

    Thanks you two. :)

    Kathy and Chris I have a question regarding your Versas. Can you see the face outside while walking? I can't see my Fitbit and that drives me crazy!

    No exercise today. Spent part of the day hanging with Ron. Got in a lot of steps.

    Only in the shade, Shelley....however, now, because my nose runs constantly while I walk, and I use my left hand and a tissue to stop it from running down my face, I have been putting my watch around my ankle under my long sock while I walk. Otherwise I don't get all my steps because my finger is up my nose and not swinging by my side.
    All of this info from a woman who can't stand talking about stuff stuck in your nose... My darling Grandson says that word just to see me shiver. :s Gagging here!!

    Chris I was laughing while reading. I have the same issue with noses. I don't want to see someone picking them! But I totally get the runny nose thing. And the shade is better than not at all.

    I did a stretch DVD last night.
