Nice job on your consistency! I'm doing pool Mondays an Thursdays until the end of February. I ended up going to see my primary care provider last week and she put me in a walking boot. Its has really helped all my worries about support and if I wear a heeled shoe my alignment is better. It's...

Well, I'm making good progress on the picture/photo project. I've culled through all of DH's side of the family and the first album will be his roots-both sets of grandparents and then his first nuclear family. The next will be our family. I can't really do my side yet since my parents have...

Well, I went Tuesday to the Walk In and was dx with a stress fracture in my right second toe. So-minimal impact for 6 weeks. I was told to tape it to the next toe and "take it easy". Tuesday and Wednesday I just got through work. Yesterday I went to the pool and did 30 minutes of no impact...

How frustrating to go through that with Dave's retirement. Seems like something they should have told you up front. All my fitness plans are now out the window. There's something wrong with my right second toe. I've Doctor googled it and am going to do conservative measures for a week and...

OMG-we were checking in at the same time!

Yikes-we are in a cold freeze and the furnace stopped working today. We noticed it about 4PM. So, the on call are on their way. It's 56 in my house right now. How are you? I only worked out 4 days this week. Way too cold to walk. What have you been up to? I finished my latest puzzle...

Yes. I bought a 10 pound vest and then added about a third of the extra weights from the 5 pound box. I don't ever expect to get above 15 pounds total. I've also been wearing my hiking boots for better ankle support. It's heavy! It's a good modification because DH does not like to walk as...

Well if it's not too far from Santa Monica we should totally do that hike! 1000ft and 4 miles sounds perfect. We don't have any plans yet. Hopefully we get more notice than a week if DS2 is planning to travel and needs a sitter. He's a bit of a procrastinator at times. I've been following my...

Well-if we ever go house sit for DS2 you should come out and we can go to some of the beaches by bike! Apparently the whole coast has a road that is pretty safe to bike on. Malibu is pretty close to him as is Venice. I don't know any others, but we could find them. DH doesn't like to bike...

It's finally Saturday! I got to sleep in until 8 today and am looking forward to regrouping today. I was able to walk the past two days and am planning a leg workout today and an upper body tomorrow. Do you have plans for New Year's? DH is pumped for football and I'm ready to finally watch...

Hi! We made it back and I've been working ever since. Covid is rampant here again and with so many people calling off I've been scheduled all week. The move is complete! The freeway was not fun to be driving on last Saturday. But, everyone made it safe and sound. I finally did a short...

Well, we had a bit of a whirlwind last week. DS2 and his girlfriend are taking a break-right before the move to LA. So DH and I are flying out on Thursday and helping him move. We will drive down either Friday or Saturday with him and his pets. Pack on Thursday and unpack until we fly home...

How are you? I have been in a bit of a funk. I'm attributing it to the time change since I'm still waking up really early in the morning. I'm making my way through Iron. If it's not for you-don't do it! I'm trying to just maintain muscle and reverse my bone loss at this point (if that's...

Another weekend is upon us! I made cookies this week for the Friends of the Library Dickens reception. Our town has Dickens of a Christmas the first Saturday of December. Lots of people dress up in Victorian garb and there are showings of A Christmas Carol, lots of singing groups, food stalls...

It's snowing here today! So far though it's not sticking, so hopefully no shoveling. I think CG is great. I've completed the first three weeks of the iron program yesterday. I do legs on Mondays, upper on Tuesdays, off Wednesdays, total body on Thursdays, off Friday, legs Saturdays and upper...

All is good here. The program I'm doing is called Iron by Caroline Girvin. It's on youtube. It's 5 workouts a week for 6 weeks. I'm on week 3. Today is supposed to be a total body for me. We'll see. I didn't sleep well and have to get the turkey dinner ready. Plus I really want to get 8K...

Diagnosing is without a doubt the most difficult aspect of health care. I got to the bottom of my low back-down the leg issue after many doctors. It's no fun doing all low impact all the time, but the fear of the SI joint locking up is enough for me to avoid it! We're cleaning out the...

I hope you had a great time in Oregon! My weekend was good. Yesterday I saw a local musical production of Anne of Green Gables. Besides that I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving-actually started dusting. Workout wise I did my rucking and a glute routine on Saturday and arms with abs on Sunday...

You got in workouts every week in October! Don't feel too bad. I think we do need more rest and recovery time at this point in our lives. I know I've had a major shift in my energy and recovery levels in the past 3 months. I did legs on Thursday and finally feel like today (4 days later)...

How has your week been? I had my checkup on Tuesday and all is well. I did lose 1/4 of an inch in height in the past year-darn osteoporosis. Maybe AI can figure out some help for it. I rucked Monday and today. In an hour or so I plan on lower body weights. What have you been doing? I'm...
