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.

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.

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.

November Goals Mileage Tracked 39 / 68 Apple Challenge: Burn at least 434 Calories per day 14 times this month. 8 / 14 Well, we are halfway through the month and I'm about halfway to my goals. 😀 This morning I did a 15-minute walk from Improved Health. It was exactly what I was looking for, quick but consistent movement.…

2 different videos from Improved Health combined for just over 1 mile tracked. I need to remind the kid to bring down the Christmas lights. It's a lot nicer to put them up when the temperatures are in the 50s instead of the 30s.

This morning, I did Jessica Smith's new Walk N Talk, followed by Arm Strength & Balance with Improved Health. Ryan seems to be holding on to a little more weight this week. It's a little too early to get excited because we've had that before, and then he drops all of it. This year has been a ride on the struggle bus for us…

It's a rest day for me. This morning, I have a headache, so I'm not feeling energetic. Jessica Smith has a new Walk nTalk 1 mile video up on youtube today. I'll maybe check that our tomorrow for a walk.

I woke up and was able to do a Walk with weights from Improved Health. Man, even 2 lb weights can get heavy fast. 🤣 It's a frosty start to the day here. 30℉ and the car is covered in frost. The sun is supposed to come out for the day and I think I should probably pack up the back porch for the incoming winter season. Hope…

November Goals Mileage Tracked 23 / 68 Apple Challenge: Burn at least 434 Calories per day 14 times this month. 4 / 14 Well, I surprised myself and hit my Apple Challenge 4x so far. I woke up at 4:40 a.m. and never got back to sleep, so around 6:45, I did a walk-n-talk with Jessica Smith. Yesterday, we had a small front…

My cleaning continued to the hallway closet, and I filled another bag of items to toss.😀 It was a wet day here and I've been a little lazy watching the oak tree give up its leaves for the season. This weekend, Ryan tried carbs again. Brown rice seems to be ok again. I also made blueberry muffins and a raspberry loaf from a…

1 Mile again with Leslie. Next week I hope to start with free weights again. I spent time cleaning out stuff from the bathroom to see what needed to be kept and throwing out so many different things. Sometimes lots of storage is nice but it also allows for stored clutter. This cleaning also meant I got more space back in…

1 Mile Burn Body Fat. Sometimes it's good to go back to a classic.

@zichab I think I was optimistic last month about that 21-day workout. I looked at it yesterday and after a few minutes, I "Noped" my way out of it. 🤣 After a short 1 mile with Leslie, I was feeling it with the knee-ups. Back at it tomorrow.

Welcome to the 1st full week of November! We're starting out with some rain today and tomorrow. I made it 1 mile with Leslie this morning and followed it up with some balance training from Improved Health. I spent the weekend still reorganizing things. Long story short, the bathroom remodel turned into some extra work in…

Well, I think I've moved enough items to make room for a morning walking workout. 🤞🏻 I can get moving. The time always seems worse the day after.

Good News, I found an older W@H Thanksgiving challenge. It's a 21-day challenge with DVD, Steps, or just miles options. Since Thanksgiving is late this year, the challenge also allows for some extra rest day if needed. I'm still cleaning and recleaning. I'm trying to stay positive, but some unfinished details remain from…

Mileage Tracked: 66 / 70 Apple Challenge: Do 8 walking workouts of 5 minutes or more. 0 / 8 We are in the home stretch for October. Deeping cleaning continued through the weekend. Every time I turned around there was something else to clean. My hands are starting to get raw from washing so many different things.

Thanks @lclark04957 I almost got my exercise space back but the deep cleaning continues and things in the basement got moved up and into my space. 🤷🏼‍♀️ As part of the deep cleaning we ended up having to buy a new vacuum. The one we had unknowingly broke somehow during the remodel and wouldn't elevate hights and became 3x…

After.

October Goals Mileage Tracked: 49 / 70 Apple Challenge: Do 8 walking workouts of 5 minutes or more. Goose eggs on this. I think it's unlikely I'll make this Apple Challenge. We are currently in the process of deep cleaning from the remodel. Some finishing touches need to be completed yet and a few minor details have been…
