I'm posting as a rest day. This morning I had a chrio visit first thing and then I found out that Leonard, our sweet old man, crossed the rainbow bridge last night. The whole day has just moved so slow since hearing the news. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel up to moving but today I'm reflecting for a gentle soul who brought a…

I had an med visit early this morning so I pushed myself to take a walk in the park with evening. 2 mile and most of that was talking to my Mom on the phone. Tomorrow maybe the same as I see the Chiro at 8:15AM. @zichab Oh no, Dennis! Not 1 more thing…again. @Elfirose33 In a way, I miss lunges. My favorite were curtsy…

We have "fall" temps this week and I'm trying to balance work / trial life. 😂 With the holiday weekend coming up, I'm hoping to hav e alittle reprive…

We've both been resting since Friday's trail adventure. My pushed a little and he's feeling a bit extra fatigue. He didn't sleep well last night. His calves started spasming around 4 AM and never got any good sleep after that. GI tract isn't as bad this time around. With the weather forecast there is a decent chance he…

After 2 days of rest we made it to the trails yesterday late afternoon. 1.8 mile of walking for me while Ryan biked nearly all the trails. I also jogged for nearly a minute. 😳 Now we recover and see how Ryan's body reacts. Weather is trending cooler for the end of August. @zichab I too should probably defrost the deep…

I'm taking a rest day, today. I'm a bit groggy and my ankle is pretty stiff but I'm working on losening it up. A cool front came through and the humidity is gone and the air has almost a chill to it. 😊 @Elfirose33 Good job a recognizing the rest needed from the stairs. @zichab If the Weather holds like they say it should.…

15 min walk with Improved Health & 10 Min Arm with Fit by Mik, this morning. My right knee is still bothering me for certain moves. I may have to as for some PT b/c it doesn't seem to be improving. I got some sleep last night so I feel a little more managable today. Today is the last humid day and then we are in for a…

August Goals Milage Tracked 40 / 70 Apple Challenge: 15 walks of 5 minutes of more. 14/15 Oy! I'm struggling on milage this month. I had an extra busy morning and now I'm just dragging. I'll have to catchup with everyone tomorrow.

Happy Sweaty Sunday, friends! Due to heat/humidity we didn't make it to the trail on Friday. Saturday, I did a bunch of "running" around. Including drop some $$ at the SheFit warehouse sale. 3 new sport bra, leggings, a top, and shorts. 🤩 This is the 1st time I've tried this brand and let me tell you that the girls are…

This morning I did a Arm workout with Mik. We're still hoping to get to the trail today so I may have a chance to get some milage in that way. Ryan's maintaining his weight to the point I've had to order new pants for him. He wears his clothes a bit loose b/c pressure around the hips messes with him. We think he may have a…

A quick 1 Mile out at the Park this morning. Work has been a weird mix. Not steady but not really slow either. It's a mix bag right now. I'm sure there are a lot of outside factors at play here. Just missing a steady stream of income again. 🤷🏼♀️ @zichab May the Winter Gods hear your plea. @Elfirose33 Backbacking through…

Imporved Health workouts this morning. 15 min walk followed by 7 min of balance training. We got rain. On and off all day long. Just under 2 inch in a 24 hour period. Ryan even put a couple of the house plants out to "enjoy the weather". If the forecast hold we may have a chance at the bike trail again for Ryan. 🤞🏻that the…

This morning I did an all in 1 combo workout with Improved Health. Cardio walking, Arms always in motion, Strength training, and balance/cool down. 30 mintues later I'm more warm than cool. 🤣 I did sleep better but did wake up from a wonderful storm that rolled through. Nothing major but we've needed a good rain and we got…

August Goals Milage Tracked 22 / 70 Apple Challenge: 15 walks of 5 minutes of more. 9/15 I decied that since I was getting up early to put the trash cart out that I might as well lace up my outdoor sneakers and get a walk in at the park. 74 with humidity in the low 80s, I was able to get a 20 min 1 mile walk done. I'm…

I did another gentle walk this morning and by gentle I mean, my legs did small movements while my arms were all over the place. 🤣 @megd44 I'm glad you popped in here with an updates. A week on a small lake sounds wonderful to me. @Elfirose33 A girls day with Dottie! I'm a bit jealous. 😉 @lclark04957 Sailing on a Sunday…

I did a simple Walkign with Weights this morning. I woke up late so it was a short workout this morning. Our cable box wen out this week so, Spectrum sent us a new one, which ended up being a dud too. So we wait for another one to be shipped to us again. In the meantime, we hooked up out little antenna to the TV so we can…

Anothee gentle walk with Improved Health and Arm routine with Fit By Mik. The Heat is back and we're still not big fans of it here. @zichab I'm sorry the kids got suck in the United Snafu. You could focus all tha frustration into cleaning. 🤣 I came from a family of 3 and have a family of 3. I don't know how bigger families…

Health Heart 1 Mile with Leslie this morning. I feel like I have a small but working it's way through me. Yesterday, I didn't manage any workout unless you count the waves of nausea I was on. 🤢 I feel a little better today but I think I'll keep it easy where I can. @lclark04957 Buddy system is a great method. I count this…

I'm taking to morning off, at least. Just kind of feeling like I'm dragging today. I hope after some food my body will come around for a workout. @lclark04957 Nice way to use some evening energy. @Elfirose33 27 Shows! What a great experience for everyone.

This morning a Fast 1600 steps with Improved Health. Then I played around with different Arm exercises. Not much change weather wise. The air quality 👎🏻, and this will be the last decent day before the heat & humidity machien kicks in again. At least we were able to get Ryan to his Chiro appt yesterday. He's gotten a…

August Goals Milage Tracked 7 / 70 Apple Challenge: 15 walks of 5 minutes of more. 3/15 I've been doing more gentle walks recently to help balance the addtion of strength training. Today A gentle walk with Improved Health and 10 min arm work out. Air Quality this AM is 147. I can see it lingering and I could smell it when…

Today, I'm taking an intenional rest day. The Wildfire smoke increased yesterday and by the forecast it looks like it's here for another week. 😖 I may have to make changes to your den where the exercise items are and set up the bike trainer for Ryan b/c of the poor air quality. Last night my high school BFF came over and…
-
It's Saturday so I did a short 10 minute walk with Improved Health. Air Quality still sucks. @Elfirose33 I like your Fun/Optional workout goal. Do you use any weights in the Redline class?

Happy August, Friends!! August Goals Milage Tracked 70 Apple Challenge: 15 walks of 5 minutes of more. 1/15 Last month I didn't reach my milage goal but did get my Monthly Appl medalian. The heat and air quality can definatly put a damper on things. I ended up being busier with work than I though so that was a bit of a…

Early mornign dentist appointment and unhealhty air qulaity determined that the last day of july will be use for reflection of the past month. I know a couple of you are taking the next month off but I do hope you check in and ecourage…

This morning the computer I use for my exercises needed an update, so while that updated I hopped on the Gazelle and did 14min Elipical workout. Then followed that up with a cool down walk and strech from Leslie. It's a bit overcast right now and we have a good chance at rain again in the next day which will usher in a…

Last night and this morning I did workouts from Improved Heath. This morning I also included a quick 5 min Barre arm workout too. @megd44 I sure hope you pop in and say "hi" next month. Enjoy your Dr ordered month of pause. We live in the spot where rain has forgotten. I think we got a few drop but not enough to full wet…

July Goals Miles Tracked: 62 / 81 Apple Challenge: walk or run 2.5 miles on 14 differnt days. 12 / 14 This heat has put a dent in my milage. I had a computer delivery 1st thing this morning so my day feels all off. Hopefully I get this day realigned and get some steps in. @lois2077 I would agree checking your weight daily…

2 Miracle Miles this morning. I rather like this program but the band work throws off the milage part. @Elfirose33 Double Dottie Walkies! with a Step class as a bonus. 😀🥳

I started this morning with a 1 Mile walk with Leslie and the crew. Then followed that up with a gentle 10 minute walk with Jules from Improved Fitness. Ryan suffered a minor set back from last weeks bike ride but with the heat he stayed inside and recovered. He's doing better now, sadly our yard isn't. 😂 Today, I have 1…
