Standing Arm & Abs with weights workout this morning from Fit by Mik. It was my 1st time with this video and I really liked it. We did have rain through the day and night yesterday, but it looks like we'll be in the clear by late morning. My contractor is coming back to install new vents for the bathroom and kitchen. We…

It rained last night and looks like rain, on & off, today and tomorrow. YouTube workout for Improved Health this morning to the rescue. 45 sec of 1 movement, then 15 sec walk in place. 15 minutes later, I'm warm and done. A lot of arm movement today, too. @Elfirose33 We haven't mowed in about a week. We knew that it was…

I decided I'd Woman Up and take a walk around the farm this evening. It was dusty, and there was a bit of a breeze that helped, but it was a slower walk. 😀

I'm taking a recovery day after a late night with the BFF.🤣 I had dogs in my lap for a good portion of the evening. 🐶 Also, it's so dang hot today. The workouts will most likely be inside for the rest of the week.

June Goals Mileage Tacked: 41 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close my exercise ring 17 times. 12 /17 Yesterday was very chill for us. We got Ry a DSLR camera, and he spent 90% of the day learning about it and testing it. 😀 I already did my Park walk this morning and started laundry. I'm trying to get most things done so I can visit…

I had a good time in Kalamazoo. I was there from 2 PM until about 8:30 PM. Got to see many different dogs. BFF was showing her Alaskan Klee Kai's for UKC but had her whole pack, which includes an old white fluffy rescue, a greyhound, and Basenjis. She started her Kennel with the Basenjis and added the AKK in the last…

It looked a little hazy this morning, so I stayed inside and did a mile of YouTube. Tomorrow I have running around 1st thing in the morning and then a drive down to Kzoo for some time with my BFF and a bunch of dogs. @zichab Safe travels for you & Dennis! @megd44 Enjoy your visitors this weekend. @Elfirose33 I'm glad to…

We have an air quality alert for today. I took a fast 1 mile walk at the park this morning and did some quick errands so I don't have to do much later outside. The last time I really lost a good deal of weight was 16 years ago for our wedding. I remember it being a calorie restricted diet, but I don't remember the exact…

This morning, I tried to keep it simple: a 10-Minute Walk with Improved Health and then a 5-minute Shoulder challenge from Fit by Mik. This 5-minute challenge used no weights, but I could feel the burn while I was doing it. I've added it to my Arm workout list to find again later. I will keep today pretty light. I was…

Also, MFP is still having issues. For me, it's when my Grammarly app wants to make corrections. UGH! @Elfirose33 Can't wait to hear the Super Secret Details. @zichab Remember you're already way ahead of me on planks. @lclark04957 Remind me, which part of Maine are you in? @megd44 A fox! I love foxes. I have pictures as my…

June Goals Mileage Tacked: 24 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close my exercise ring 17 times. 8 / 17 I was busy the 1st week of June. Yesterday, I rested and didn't worry about my exercise ring. I still got the other 2 rings completed. Air quality is still moderate, but it smells a bit smoky today. I did my walk this morning. 1.35…
-
Yesterday, I made a good effort to clean. Vaccumed all but 1 room, deep cleaned the bathroom, and cleaned out/up the back porch. The back porch, I'm hoping, will be June's project area. Remove the outdoor carpet, paint/epoxy the concrete pad, and replace the screens. After all that housework, I did 1 lap around the farm to…

Last night, I celebrated a friend's birthday. She wanted to go to the local Food Truck on Friday, which involved a lot of walking and standing. I set my watch to the "other" exercise for tracking and more than completed my rings. 🤣 The "other" exercise is like a cheat exercise. It will continually track time, movement, and…
-
I took this morning off. The air quality alert is supposed to lift around Noon, so I'm leaning into a walk tonight. Ryan didn't leave the house at all, so he was mostly safe. Our house is older and leaky with air, but we've been working on sealing it up. The majority of the windows have plastic on them for a better seal.…
-
This morning, I did a 10 min strong Ab walk with Improved Health and then 10 min Pilates Arm workout with Fit by Mik. @megd44 The smoke is bad down here this morning. Ryan already looked outside and said he wasn't leaving the house today. I checked the airnow.gov, and the levels are extremely high. @Elfirose33 I love super…
-
Well, I did end up walking 1 mile around the farm. I also got rained on for a short bit of it. As it's raining this morning, I turned to YouTube and did a 15-minute walk with Improved Health. She had my arms going 100% on this walk, too. With the Wildfire smoke, Ryan will be inside 99% today. That smoke can flare his…
-
I was able to walk 1 mile around the farm last night. 1 lap with Ryan and 1 lap on my own. Due to the weather, I'll be doing my exercise inside tonight. @Elfirose33 You're heat and wind made it to SW Michigan today. It's nearly 90 on my back porch, and the wind has been picking up speed as the day goes on, and it keeps…

I'll be sticking to early morning or evening walks now that we're into the Summer months. My Redheaded self doesn't need any more sun damage. Also, I made a deal with myself that I can't listen to my audiobook unless I'm doing some sort of exercise. I have this awful habit of trying to restart my health goes the week of my…

June Goals Mileage Tacked: 75 Apple Challenge: Close my exercise ring 17 times Happy June! 2 things I want to try and focus on are strength training and tracking my food intake. I've been using 2 lbs weights, so I will try to move up to 3-5 lbs by the end of the month. My food intake is dismal. To much eating my emotions.…

Mileage Goal met! I had a good 2.25 mile walk at the park tonight. @zichab Oh goodness, no! The Farm is owned by the neighbors behind us. Mart skims the edge of the fields to form a dirt path, and that's where and I other neighbors walk. He has 3 draft horses, smaller than the Budweiser horse, but they're big, beautiful…
-
I walked a mile around the farm last night after dinner. I got slightly sidetracked because the horses were out and in a rather friendly mood. This means that a few of them would take some grass from my hand or accept nose rubs. 🤣 Today is the last day in May, and I need about 2 miles to meet my goal. So, it looks like…

A little bit different workout this morning. I kept doing walks until my watch said I had "walked" 1 mile. I ended up doing a Walking with Weights from Improved Health and then a video from Leslie.
-
I enjoyed a 2 mile walk after dinner last night. I slept hard last night, so I needed some encouragement to wake up. 1 Mile Express Walk with Leslie did the trick. Last night's walk also won me the May Apple Challenge. I also learned that 1 should put Rhubarb strawberry meringue in the fridge and not leave it on the…

May Goals Miles Tracked: 59 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close all my rings 13x 11/13 Happy Memorial Day!! I got up and got a 20 min workout with Improved Health done 1st thing. Yesterday, I did all the vacuuming and then made Rhubarb Strawberry Meringue from my 1943 cookbook. This was my 1st attempt at meringue, and without…
-
Ry joined me for a 1 mile walk in the Park yesterday before dinner. I had to make him pause a few times just to make sure he didn't try to overdo it. I'll focus on cleaning today and spend some time in the kitchen. I have a recipe from 1943 I want to try out for Ry. Rhubarb and Strawberry Meringue. All the ingredients look…
-
It felt pretty good waking up this morning. I cranked out 1 Mile of Burn Body Fat with Leslie, then 5-8 minutes of arm strength training, and finished off with 7 minutes of balance training. 30 minutes total logged according to the watch. It looks like we have a decent holiday weekend in store for SW Michigan. Maybe I can…
-
This morning I was able to pull myself out of bed and do a 10 min walk with Improved Health and then 10 min Barre Arms with Mik. Today I'll play a little catch-up, but I'm looking forward to a relaxing but productive weekend. I have a new plant stand coming this weekend, which is perfect timing, as my son gave me an Orchid…

I had a lovely Birthday yesterday.
-
The rain continues, but I managed to do a 10-minute Power Up Walk with Jessica Smith and followed that up with a 10-minute strength and balance session with Improved Health. @zichab I picked up some of those mold/mildew-resistant boards last year. They are heavy, no joke. That being said, I'd probably redo each room…

May Goals Miles Tracked: 42 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close all my rings 13x 9/13 Happy Monday! My Birthday is this week. Yesterday, I had my birthday lunch with my aunts, which included my favorite pie, French silk. Last night, 2 friends joined me for the Lantern Festival at the Zoo. If you happen to see a Lantern Festival…
