15-minute-70s music walk with Jules from Improved Health followed by 10-minute Arms from Fit by Mik on Youtube. We are looking at 3-6" starting tomorrow afternoon. I had to watch the forecast a few times so I could better arrange my appointment on Wednesday as it's across town. I don't want to be out driving when the snow…

February Goals Mileage Tracked: 20 / 60 miles Apple Challenge: Reach my "move" goal 16 times. 7 / 16 I took yesterday as a rest day. Today I have an early morning appointment so the workout will be later in the day. We aren't digging out from snow at the moment. It's found in place in the yards but the roads are clear.…

I tried out the WALK, RUN, LIFT Dvd I got a while back. 20 minutes with Rocky & Nick had me moving at a nice pace. I didn't pull out the miracle band for the lift part just used my arms to do the movements without the resistance. Looks like the cold weather is settling in for another week. I'm having lunch with a friend…

I didn't sleep that great last night. Strong wind kept me up for a while and then it was sleep on and off through the rest of the night. This morning I did get 15 minutes in with Jules from Improved Health. I'll be taking it easy this morning, if I can, before I meet up with a friend for lunch today. I hope you 2 have a…

Ry needed some assistance this morning so my workout got pushed to this afternoon. 15 minutes on the Gazelle. We got some of the freezing rain but it wasn't thick, thank goodness. Yesterday, we had some emergency work pop up from a client which has now led to us managing their e-mail and website. This will include us…

Another 1 mile with Leslie this morning followed by 10 min Arms on YouTube. Yesterday ended up with me figuring out why a client's e-mail and website were down. We don't manage either for them but we will be doing so in the future. The backend of the website is a mess. Nothing is in the same spot so I'm having to gather a…

I did 1 mile from WAH Burn Belly, Buns, & Thighs. I forgot about this one. I warmed up enough yesterday that we had a bit of a melt. Today, however, we're back in the 20s. We're watching for possible freezer rain for tomorrow night into Thursday. I would like it to stay south of me as I have to drive to Hollnad, Thursday…

Well, I didn't. A short 15-minute walk/arms with Leslie that I found on YouTube. I took it a little easy since it's been a while but I made it and it felt sooo good. I feel good enough from today to move my walk time up tomorrow. To make both feel better about steps, I logged 152,168 steps in January.

February Goals Mileage Tracked: 60 miles Apple Challenge: Reach my "move" goal 16 times. With it being a short month, I'm keeping my mileage low again. Improved Health put out her February Monly guide last night, and I was looking that over. There hasn't been much new from Jessica Smith, and it's been over a month from…

Can you believe we've made it through January? Today we saw a new Rheumatologist and walked out with orders for 3 x-rays and 23 labs. 🙀 This time, it was a more thorough visit. Fingers crossed we are on a better path for answers. I'll work on my February plan tonight, hoping to get things going properly in February.

I wholeheartedly believe that going to Costco should count as exercising. Pushing a heavy cart, picking up oversized items, and dodging clueless patrons. I did all that and then had to do a 2nd round of errands in the afternoon. I may not get an actual exercise in but I'm moving for sure. @zichab Sorry about your snow…

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. 😀
