A good strength training workout at lunch today. It was leg day. :) I have worked out consistently all month and I am feeling stronger. I am leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks and am concerned I am going to lose all I have worked so hard for. But, I am registered for my classes, so hopefully, will be able to jump right back in…

An hour of Pilates followed by 50 minutes of strength training. :)

Hi all. Did a version of crossfit yesterday. It was good. Certainly got a sweat on. Then curled for just shy of two hours. I can feel that I am getting stronger; my arms were not nearly as tired sweeping as they were 2 weeks ago. :)

Wow! Can't believe how much I've missed and how time flies! I have been working out 6 days / week and loving every minute of it. Still trying to cram everything in before I leave this coming Saturday. This past weekend, I did something physical both days and it was good. Saturday was spent with my granddaughters taking…

We got some snow. I've been xcountry skiing this year.

Glad to hear you were back at it @Beeps2011 . WTG! I have continued to workout. x-country skied on Sunday. It was a 10k ski with the first have being mostly uphill. Oh my arms! I could not believe how tired my arms got. It could be that they were sore from lifting, but truthfully, I think I have just gotten so out of…

I hear ya - I hadn't worked out in almost 6 months, other than some hiking. Did 5 days in a row this past week. :)

Went back to classes last night. There was a new instructor who also does personal training (lifting!). We are scheduled to meet tomorrow before class. Yay! This young man used to compete in body building and has gotten his trainers certification. Maybe, just maybe this guy might work out for me. So excited! Not that I…

Life continues to be busy. I have traveled far too much and as a result have not worked out. I did have a couple of hiking holidays in there where we hiked daily, which was good. I didn't renew my gym membership in the fall because I knew I would be away so much. I was supposed to be away this past week as well for work,…

Ouch!

Back from vacation and trying real hard to get back into the swing of things. Came home to -22C and loads of snow. Ugh! Hard to get myself outside to walk. I did get out yesterday (well, did some indoor walking) and did a 5km walk and some stationary cycling which I totally forgot to log. Oh well, I got 'er done.

@nossmf - am sorry to hear of your wife's accident. Hope she and your daughter are recovering well.

OMG! I am so sorry to hear this.

The clouds rolled while hiking today.

Oh Beeps, am so terribly sorry to hear this. An MVA is a terrifying experience. Hoping your parents recover fully, both physically and emotionally.

I am so envious of all of you with your regular workouts! I have done little to nothing this past while. I am headed out on vacation where we are hiking for 6 days. Am so looking forward to that. My life has been far too busy and I need to slow down and get back to my regular workouts. Hoping vacation is the kick start I…

@alteredsteve175 - thank you. I have been taking medication. Turns out I had pink eye in both eyes, which was contracted virally because of this cold. I am starting to feel better, but still using some cold meds, but a whole lot less. Got in an hour of pilates and an hour walk yesterday! Felt good to move. Am on the road…

Not sure what happened to the third picture, and why it would not upload correctly. I was not able to write anything either. Probably just me, as I have a new phone I am still trying to figure out. This is "Sandy Beach". A local beach on the north shore of Lake Superior. It is stunning! It is literally around the bay from…

Well, the busy-ness of my life has caught up with me. I am sick. Terrible cold, my body aches, my head hurts, nose is running like a leaky tap. Ugh. Every night this week I have been busy in the kitchen as I am trying to fit my hosting responsibilities into my life while I am back and forth to TO. Am looking toward a…

Did an hour of pilates today. Felt good to move my body, even subtle movements make you feel the burn. I have been on the road so darn much lately. Three trips in three weeks. One more trip to go, next week. That means a 3 hour drive, and 1.5 hour flight, another hour taxi and then sit in class all day. Turn around and do…

You're darn right! No grey hair on this head. :wink:

I tried Pickleball on Friday. Surprisingly fun, and a good workout. :) I officially joined the grey haired group though....Geesh!

@mtaratoot - you are a man of many talents! The harvest looks absolutely beautiful! We haven't been as lucky, despite having a greenhouse! Our tomatoes are still green, peppers look good, still small. Cucumbers have been great and yummy. Carrots are tiny, beans coming in slow, zucchini not great. Fall arrived with a…

@Beeps - I love fall hikes! My plans are to do a 10k this Sunday. It's my favourite hike, with a LOT of climbs in it. I like it because it's challenging and gives me a good workout. My husband and I booked our holiday! We are headed to Montenegro hiking! My sister and BIL are joining us, so we chose an easier route. We…

It rained buckets yesterday! This morning, the sun is shining and was 4C! Fall is definitely in the air in NorON!

Am so looking forward to the fall exercise classes starting up. Yoga, Pilates, zumba...all fun stuff. :) Have been walking and cycling when weather permits. Happy September all - summer flew by! Sigh.

@giantrobot_powerlifting - wowzer! Good luck this weekend! Looks to me like you might kill it. Have been quiet here, but just busy. Have been doing some 40k bike rides and some power walking. Grandkids are visiting this weekend, so it should be a fun filled one.

@mtaratoot - wow! wow! wow! What an incredible experience and amazing pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. Loved reading about your adventure. You sound like a pretty cool dude. :wink:

Hi all - not doing too much. Went blueberry picking on Sunday and a nice 5.5k walk yesterday.
