This week, work picked up unexpectedly. Today, I tried to play catch-up. I remembered to start my watch for my mini cleaning sprints. Last night, some big storms came through. We're fine, again, but it looks like we had at least 2 confirmed EF-0 in the area, and that number may increase. We only got wind, rain, & a whole…

Monday - 1 Mile walk around the Farm Tuesday - Not a blasted thing Wednesday - Managed a .5 mile around the farm before I got rained on. Today was a bit hectic. Took Dad in for his colonoscopy and then to lunch. Then ran errands while trying to figure out which client was really having an emergency vs what they thought was…

May Goals Miles Tracked: 23 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close all my rings 13x 5/13 Ry had a few bad days that lasted through the weekend, and work picked up this past week. So I'm a little low on my goals so far. This morning, we have some work being done on the garage. When that is over, we will have a level floor again.…

Welcome @ShrinkinMel! I'm glad you found the group! I use the DVDs & YouTube for my exercise needs. I cycle between different YouTube pages depending on my mood. Variety is nice. I have a mix of Walk at Home and Jessica Smith DVDs. I'm in SW Michigan. It's been a bit since I've seen 100℉. My husband spent a summer in AZ as…

May Goals Miles Tracked: 34 / 75 Apple Challenge: Close all my rings 13x 3 / 13 I'm still around, just got a little swamped with some work and busy mornings. The weather looks good through the weekend, so I should have some good walks coming up.

It's a bit breezy, but I still need a walk in the park. 1.25 miles in a respectable amount of time. I got distracted by some blooming trees that I had to take photos of. 😉 Otherwise, my time would have been a little better. I also started 2 new audiobooks to walk to. I sometimes find that easier to walk to than music.…

It warmed up enough for a walk outside today, so I did a couple of laps around the farm field. We may have found a cheese that Ry's system will tolerate. It's lactose-free, so he's enjoying chips and cheese as a new snack. I'm also adding 1 tsp to his eggs in the morning. He's also up a couple of pounds this week since…

May Goals Miles Tracked: 75 Apple Challenge: Close all my rings 13x I'm not 100% sure what my workouts will look like this month. Like @zichab, I also want to increase my strength training. So I'll start focusing on 2-3 strength training sessions a week while I mix in a rotation of works outs with Leslies' team, Jessica, &…

We all deserve a "free day" for the last day of April. 😀 I haven't had my watch on yesterday or today, so my final mileage total will be skewed b/c of that. Gosh, Tomorrow is May! Why does time speed up as we age?? Talk to you all in the next month! 🥰

Plus, they are going to check my iron levels and waive colonoscopy for the moment, allowing me to do the colo-guard this 1st time. MFP 🤦🏼♀️ Can't tag people, post disappears. When I 1st get to the site, it doesn't even load properly.

April Goals Mies Tracked 69 / 69 ⭐️Goal! Apple Challenge: Reach my stand goal 25x this month. I'll miss this by 2 days. 🤷🏼♀️ I'm feeling all the lifting, sorting, and putting things together today. I didn't sleep well last night, to boot. 😖 Yesterday, Ry did do a little walk with me. 1 lap around the field. ½ a mile in…
-
@zichab I need to know what Ant product you got! I started seeing some last month already.
-
um..Ok. MFP is being weird this AM. Anyway, where I left off: After I emptied my car, I went back to the house, and the kid hooked up the trailer to his 4Runner. We filled the trailer with more stuff. By 11 AM, we were done and had more space in the garage again. 😃All the lifting did a bit of a number on my wrist, so I…

Yesterday was Township Clean Up Day. I was up and loading my car with my e-cycling by 8 AM. Oh boy! The faces on the guys when they opened my car and saw all the Apple products! 🤣

1.25 Miles at the Park this morning. Yesterday, it got warm enough that we turned the A/C on to bring the house temperature down for sleeping. I probably wouldn't have managed without it, but it's more comfortable for Ry. It will be similar today, but a few degrees cooler. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
-
Took myself out for another 1-mile walk this morning. This time, not as aggressive, mainly because I stopped for a couple of photo ops. 😉 Township Dump Day is Saturday. The kid and I are starting to gather items into piles to load up Saturday morning. I uncovered our porch chairs and need to use the leaf blower to clean…

It's a lovely spring day! I ran around doing errands for most of the day. Ryan helped me build a new cabinet for the office. After dinner, I made it down to the park and pushed myself to see how fast I could walk 1 mile there. 18:36. I shaved about 1 minute off my last time. 😃 When Ryan goes with me if he can manage 1…

April Goals Mies Tracked 53 / 69 Apple Challenge: Reach my stand goal 25x this month. 16/25 I've been making phone calls all morning and into the afternoon today. Mailed out the 1st part of the SSD paperwork. Gosh, is that nerve-wrecking and depressing all rolled together. @megd44 The wind has been constantly blowing all…

Hi all, I just wanted to pop in and say you're all doing great. The dining room work has taken all week, but we finally have a full wall and a properly built-in cubby area again. As usual, the work kicks up Ry's reaction, and he's had a few rough nights. It will be a couple of days before we move the furniture back in, but…

April Goals Mies Tracked 39 / 69 Apple Challenge: Reach my stand goal 25x this month. 10/25 Well, my workout area is temporarily my dining room while the repairs are being made. OMG!! I'm so excited. Yesterday's demo went great, the drywall and mud were up to. If everything continues to go well, we should be done tomorrow.…

Yesterday, I walked 1.3 miles at the Township Park. This morning, I did the Purple Walk and the 5-minute Energy Boost Walk. After months of waiting, this week, our dining room wall and built-in hutch will finally be repaired after the damage from last Fall's bathroom remodel. I'm excited to get all my glassware back where…

I was able to get out to a park today and 1.7 miles outside. 🥳 Some parts of the unpaved pathways were a little soggy yet, but I still had a good walk. I'm a little sluggish from the muscle relaxer I took last night for my shoulder and back area, but dang, if those things don't put me out. 🤣

20-minute low-impact cardio with Improved Health. I wanted something a little lighter this morning, and that pretty much fit the bill if the bill included multiple rounds of jogging in place. 😳🤣 It's a nice sunny day at the moment. Looks like we're in for a nice weekend before the next temperature dip. I have a small work…
-
I had an unintentional rest day yesterday. I did the 30-minute Burn Fat Fast with Improved Health this morning. @Elfirose33 We also have a steep hill/ditch combo in our yard. No one likes to mow it. We hold out until sometime in May to give the bees 🐝 time to wake up. We planted pounds of white clover seed in that area the…

This morning was 1 Fast Interval Mile with Jessica Smith. I tried to follow that up with a 10-minute walking with weights with Improved Health. I had to drop the weights about halfway through. I guess I was more tired than I thought from Jessica's walk. After yesterday's call for the Disability application, today we'll…

@zichab Ry's kidney function has increased based on the last lap. Which was nice to see since it had been decreasing the last several years. His sleep seems to be getting better as well. He isn't waking up as much, or when he does, it's later into the night. Protein is another story. @Elfirose33 Sounds like to had a good…
-
Rest Day yesterday, but I dug into more Spring Cleaning & uncovered a few more corners of my house. Those corners were either vacuumed or mopped as well. Spring cleaning also involves tossing items I haven't touched since last fall, especially where the bathroom is concerned. 😁 I also spent some time going through the…

Looks like I never posted yesterday. 🤦🏼♀️ Yesterday, I did a new WAT workout that was posted on the Youtube page. 30 min Walk with a Doc. I went back to WAT YouTube page this morning for another new walk. It was posted a couple of months ago. 1-mile Self Care Talk & Walk. It was a nice, easy walk for a Friday morning.…
-
20 minutes with Improved Health this morning. It's raining this morning with some thunderstorms thrown in for extra effect. I'm already looking forward to the weekend and it's only Wednesday. 🤣

April Goals Mies Tracked 69 Apple Challenge: Reach my stand goal 25x this month. Happy April, everyone! I was shy of 69 miles last month, so that is my goal for the month. I'm hoping for some more stable weather this month so I can get outside for walks and use the fitness court. After the hustle of work for the last 3…
