October mini squat challenge
Kathy gave this to us. Love it. She is using kettle bells also. But you can use dumbbells also. Or just do the squats

Mini Challenge
How many squats can you do in 15 seconds? Can you hold a 15 second plank? Modify the plank however you need. This will be fun Shelley

June, a Time for Change
I was so busy in the garden yesterday I forgot to put this up. Here is a photo of my new Clematis "Josephine". I took this bloom from online, but mine look just like it. I just need to get out there and find the perfect spot for it. I have one in mind. Yesterday I planted my new Hibiscus. A bright red Coral bell in the…

March, almost spring ladies!
The weekends are normally impossible for me to get in enough exercise. And I over indulge also. So Karen asked if anyone wanted to have a friendly competition this last weekend by not going over. I managed to still get in my 10,000 steps each day. I felt good. Still got in my water changes and testing for all the…

February is a month to keep pushing.
Don't quit now gals. We must keep our bodies moving. Once you stop it is all over. I am not ready for it to be over. I have books to read, water to tread, places to explore and friends and family to laugh with. Think of a memory to share with us. Something that made you laugh, wonder at the miracle of laugh. Something that…

You Tube video
So I thought I would put a place where we can put YouTube videos. This is for recommending or warning others about ones that we have done. Or want to do. Just so long as you tell us about it afterwards. Shelley

January a month of surprises and parties

November, it is a tough month 🤔
We all know that November brings many challenges. All the family and friends gathering. The comfort foods and the long awaited Thanksgiving meal. And lets not forget Covid. I do not like to horde, but pick up an extra pack of the paper product of your choice. And I hope everyone will be voting. I was really hoping for a…
