Glad you had a good time, @drmwc. NB: Until today, I didn't know it was possible to get vertigo from reading a post.

I would have clicked the laugh button if MFP had one.

Exercise: No gym workouts since Tues.; 29 min. walk Wed; short walks with the dog yesterday and today Food: Wed: clear liquid diet Thurs: nothing to eat or drink until 2 pm (after colonoscopy = normal result); then Pho Ga for a late lunch Fri: sweet potato-broccoli b'fast casserole; McNugget Happy Meal; Aldi's chicken…

And I have one of my own: today's colonoscopy was clear. This is the one year anniversary of their finding a malignant tumor during my first ever scope--so very relieved that the news today was positive.

29 min. walk with my dog this morning. Colder than expected, so two of those minutes were jogging.

20 min elliptical; 5 min Helix Trainer; 15 min calisthenics (free weights; battle ropes. sit-ups; lunges); 25 min walking.

I hope your plan for alternate biking and rowing works out well, @AnnPT77. Today's exercise: 50 min stationary bike, @ 10-11 mph pace (I was finishing PD James' Unnatural Causes and that slowed me down a tad bit). Then calisthenics with a 6 lb medicine ball, floor exercises, lunges, stretching for 15 min. Walking outside…

No, better go ahead and tell me. I still need to make a video of myself on the rower for you to critique.

Rowing machine and push-ups yesterday was overdoing it after a busy week in the gym, so today I'm walking outside only. No strength / conditioning / high exertion workouts, which means less food. Oh well. Tacos last night and tonight. May do KFC (small portions) for lunch today. Breakfast was toad in the hole (ie, fried…

I think from working out my arms two days in a row, the classic gym no-no. Today I've taken one short walk with my dog and I may take another this afternoon, but that's it on the exercise front.

I just found this impressive thread today @nossmf, thanks to @springlering62's post recommending it to a newbie. CONGRATULATIONS on exceeding your 10 million pound goal for 2024. Now on to 2025!!

@TcoSlp, I thought the same thing about your smile. Ditto what @springlering62 also said about the "friends" page being gone, but you are welcome to come over to the "What Was Your Workout Today?" message board. Some of us post every day and it would be great to "see" you there.

Rowing machine for 15 min total, in 5 min. increments with sit-ups and push-ups in between. My right shoulder is twinging now, darn it! Also 20 min. of walking and some stretches.

I overdid it in the gym today, so rest if you need to. But maybe your wife could accompany you to the gym once or twice during your time off work? You could impress her with your lifts. :)

Today's workout: 25 min on the treadmill: 5 min @ 5 mph; 15 min @ 3.0 mph and 5% incline; 5 min @ 3.5 mph. Then 10 min. of squats with weights, lunges, stretches. Ten min. walk with the dog.

I'm glad for this great report @AnnPT77.

5 min. Helix trainer; 20 min. elliptical, then 12 min. body weight exercises (candlesticks, planks, chest taps, lunges). The usual 10 min. walk with the dog. And 90 min. scrubbing carpets and using the vacuum / carpet cleaner.

Yesterday: 30 min on treadmill with a 5 min jogging / 25 min. walking split (while talking to a friend! so fun!), then 10 min. body weight exercises and stretches. Today: 22 min. stationary bike @ 12 mph pace. Then 15 min. free weights, lunges, sit-ups, then more lunges. 10 min. or so walking outside.

Workout today: 14.5 min rowing machine; 20 min. free weights, calisthenics. 15 min. walking outside. Meals: scrambled eggs; green salad; chicken and rice casserole. Half a cake pop and half an oatmeal cream pie for snacks.

So my CT scan was clear. Yay! But not perfect: it showed some mild degeneration in my spine. The two lung nodules the CT scan picked up in Feb. are no longer present, just mild scarring of the upper lungs. Wonder why: I've never smoked or lived in a house with someone who did. Never had pneumonia. Covid, though. Had that…

Good news: my CT scan was clear. Next one in six months. Workout today: rowing machine, 14.5 min; free weights and calisthenics, 15-20 min. Walks: 15 min., maybe a little more.

Short walks this weekend but lots of time on my feet yesterday (call it a pre-Christmas baking extravaganza plus Christmas parade watching). My lower back was hurting last night. But a fun day overall, especially given that I had my CT scan Friday and the results didn't appear on the Healow app the same day like they did…

I saw an inspiring interview from a member of the women's rugby team at the Olympics this summer. She weighed at least 200 lbs -- she mentioned her weight but I don't recall the exact # now -- and was super fit but said she still sometimes got comments.

Ditto from me! You dropped 11 pounds and didn't lose an ounce of muscle with that. Excellent.

My gym had the kind of treadmills that kick you off after an hour back when I was logging 8+ mile workouts, and that was SO ANNOYING. So glad they got a better kind, even though I'm not pushing the limits these days.

Vent all you want! My scan got moved, so we'll both have CT scans this Friday, albeit on different bodily areas. Yesterday I dropped my autistic son off at school at 5 am so he could go to State Special Olympics in bowling. He came in 3rd and I'm a proud mama. Not a lot of options for things to do at that hour in my town,…

Two 10 min. walks today with the dog. I wore my running shoes all day expecting I'd get to the gym but it just didn't happen. Maybe I can fit in some conditioning here at home in a minute . . .

Gotta love those holiday decorating workouts! Yesterday I only meant to hang up a few Christmas wreaths, but in the process ended up dusting, sweeping, and mopping the front porch. I'm tempted to log those minutes in as exercise . . . .
