January Goals Mileage Tracked - 56 / 60 Miles Apple Challenge - complete my Stand ring 25 times.✅ I had 2 computer deliveries to clients today. AM/PM but Ryan was able to go on the 2nd delivery which we were both happy about. The wind has been gusting all day. So much so, that it was causing snow drifts into the roads in…

The medical community and fitness fanatics can be all over the place with cholesterol. My Dad's always had good cholesterol even his bad was good but he hit 65 or so and his DR wanted to put him on a statin b/c he was getting older. He had a fit, with good reason, DR never mentioned it again. In recent years he studied…

@megd44 The Heart Healthy video with Leslie was 1 of the 1st walks I did and it's still my favorite. @zichab WAY TO GO!!!! Nice job and getting your levels going in the right direction. I'm working again this weekend but it should be a simpler job compared to last weekend. I also have made better progress in the Den where…

Resting my back today after snow blowing. Ry was able to get it started for me but that thing is a BEAST! Our son has restored a 1972 Toro snow blower. It's been a pet project of his for years. Today, my upper back, shoulders, and neck are feeling it.

20 minutes of snow shoveling (battery operated) part of the driveway. I don't have enough strength to get the snow blower started so I do what I can by hand. I can't feel my chin or thighs.

January Goals Mileage Tracked - 42 / 60 Miles Apple Challenge - complete my Stand ring 25 times. 18 / 25 I had the "joy" of driving in snow squalls and whiteout conditions today. 😖 The client delivery was delayed just a bit but the delivery and setup went extremely smoothly. 🥰 Down side is Ryan had to help me more than we…

@megd44 I've had C-19 3 times. You have to ease yourself back into life. I can tell I'm struggling from my last round back in August. I'd focus on starting back in with 15 minutes and build back up from that. @zichab I'm trying to get the kid to understand that he needs to do the whole driveway and not just where we park.…

@zichab My Gazzell time has been temporarily replaced by snow shoveling. 🤣 We're warming up into the 30s for the next couple of days and then we'll plunge into the single digits and negative wind chills.

January Goals Mileage Tracked - 26 / 60 Miles Apple Challenge - complete my Stand ring 25 times. 11 / 25 This cold weather is 129% zapping all motivation I have for exercise. I slept in today and just want to curl up on the sofa and be cozy for the rest of the day. @megd44 I'm sorry to here about your + test of C-19. I've…

@megd44 I'm sorry to hear about your ill health. A friend also came down with the ick, so it must be going around. Hopefully, you can shake it off and return to some workouts. In the meantime, maybe some gentle stretching. We are expecting some more snow for the next couple of days. My work schedule is filling up for the…

Well, yesterday I got to drive in a little bit of Lake Effect snow. Fun times! Today I managed to do a solid 10 minutes on the Gazelle. that was the most I could muster. Looks like I need to build my team on that slowly. This is the 1st time I've ever had everything set for my taxes as early. They are filed and ready for…

January Goals Mileage Tracked - 10 / 60 Miles Apple Challenge - complete my Stand ring 25 times. 4 / 25 I've done less than 10 minutes on the Gazzell so far. We figured out yesterday how to adjust the resistance. There are 4 resistance levels and I'm starting on level 2. My watch will track the exercise so I'm good there.…

I'm just popping in to say you're both off to a great start. I've also been under a "special weather advisory". We've come to realize this means it going to snow. We got 2-3 inches last night and are looking at another 2-4 into Saturday. In other exciting news, My Dad scored a few Gazzell Elliptical for me and dropped it…

January Goals Milage Tracked - 60 Miles Apple Challenge - complete my Stand ring 25 times. I've decided that I need to start migrating my diet to a more Anti-Inflammatory diet. I find this difficult as I love carbs and not fruit and veggies. It also means upping my water intake. I will also keep on walking but add more…

A little year-end review: Personally: I tracked 880 miles this year and I completed 6 Apple Watch Challenges. I found a new YouTube channel to follow for additional workouts. I also purchased a WAT DVD set that was only available from QVC ( thanks eBay). This group has shrunk in active users a lot in the last year or so.…

@zichab I'm glad to hear that you're bouncing back. What a way to bounce back with a transfusion! Yikes!! We had a couple of rough days leading up to Christmas, so it was nice to have a small gathering. A few presents are still on their way, but no one was really concerned about that. Everyone was full from Christmas…

@zichab I'm speechless! After everything with Dennis, now this, for you! My heart is with you right now.

December Goals Miles tracked: 35 / 65 Apple Challenge: Reach my daily move goal 21x. 10 / 21 Rough couple of days and I need some good deep sleep for recovery. You can find a TON of free video's on YouTube for Jessica Smith. She has 100's on her channel. I don't have the Walk At Home App. I have a decent collection of DVDs…

In January 2024, we did Jessica Smith's Walk N Talk series as a January Jumpstart. 15-minute videos that were easy to do and just enough motivation to get us going in the new year. I'm thinking I'll be doing that again. I hope to see you still here in January. 😀

Welcome, @megd44. I'm glad you found the group. I'm sorry about the accident. Hopefully, you'll have an easy recovery from any injuries. Taking it easy is the right thing to do.

It looks like we've gone quiet again. 😞 I found the "Walk, Run, Lift" set on eBay. It was Leslie's last DVD kit. It came with 3 bands, a DVD, and a gym bag. I think it was only available from QVC. I'll be reviewing it and maybe that will motivate me to move again. This cold snap is not making me move much at all.

December Goals Miles tracked: 65 Apple Challenge: Reach my daily move goal 21x.

Thanksgiving 2024 is in the books for me. I forgot to serve the Succotash and forgot to make the Stuffing. No one noticed or card though. Full bellies and grateful hearts over here. Some winter weather is possibly heading into the area tonight with 1-4" of snow.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve. My watch informed me I was a bit lazy yesterday, so I guess I better be a tad more active today. I had a good adjustment at the Chiropractor yesterday afternoon and slept pretty well last night. So today is all the house prep for tomorrow. (Read: cleaning and hiding things that I don't have a proper…

November Goals Mileage Tracked 54 / 68 Apple Challenge: Burn at least 434 Calories per day 14 times this month. 11 / 14

The final week of November begins. Thanksgiving this week so I'm getting most of my steps around the house. I'm glad that we have a small gathering b/c just the work that goes into having a gathering of 6 is enough work I can't imagine a bigger gathering like when I was a kid with Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. I have 2 items…

It's a rest day for me. It's also the 1st snowfall of the season here. I do not envy my neighbors who are moving out today. Stay warm and get a few extra steps for me, today. 😊

One mile with Leslie this morning. The Internet is acting up on my computer, so I didn't get my strength training in. 😕 Ah, Kitchen discipline. We all struggle with it. I'm trying to break my pop habit right now, as I think that's probably worse than the food I'm sneaking.

Welcome, @EmoEvangelist. I'm happy that you found our little chat. Leslie's Heart Healthy Walk is 1 of my favorites by far. How amazing are you? 2 years from walking with a cane to completing a workout with no break! Go, Rock Star! 💫

1 Fast Mile with Jessica off of a DVD I have of hers. I put my outdoor Christmas lights up yesterday since it was decent temperature-wise. Today it's wet and cold. Rain and possible ❄️ this week. Time to setup an appointment for the winter tires to be put on.
