I'm just rolling through the week. The NYT had an article about walking with a rucksack (backpack full of weights) and so my official workouts are called rucking. So I rucked Monday and did some bodyweight leg exercises. Tuesday and Wednesday I just walked to and from work and 20 minutes at...

I think we're acclimated finally! Going back to work helped me do that this week. I have a check up on the 31st. Opted not to get my blood work this year, but will get a mammo. I feel pretty good and really don't feel like I need a check up, but it's required to continue to get my...

Hi! I am so sorry Dave went through the prep and then didn't have the procedure done. So annoying. I had one good prep and satisfactory colonoscopy and then one bad prep and they said I would need to do it again. That was five years ago and I ended up just doing the FIT test. I was mad as...

I've been busy getting ready this weekend for our trip. We leave on Thursday! DS2 is helping with the cats which is a big relief. I have been focusing on 3 total body weight workouts a week. Sometimes for just 30 minutes and sometimes an hour-depends how much energy I have. I have yet to try...

I am feeling much better! I got an upper body workout in on Monday, but since then have just walked. Thursday was just a long walk due to doctor appointments for DH. Fortunately his intestinal track is not part of the hernia so it's a wait and see what happens. If it gets to where it's too...

I had a long week last week. Monday I started with a sore throat and swollen glands. By Wednesday I had a negative covid test but felt terrible-headache, weak, tired, runny nose, cough. Thursday was just sick all day and by Saturday I was finally on the upswing. DH of course started feeling...

Speaking of axe throwing-a business for that just opened at the mall near me. I saw it advertised. It's an hour away, so I don't know how soon we'll get there, but it's on my list to try! How was your weekend? I went on a birthday bash/wine tour yesterday to celebrate one of my girlfriend's...

Happy Birthday! How was the axe throwing? I have never tried that, but know someone here at work who does it quite often. Just watching soccer, working out, walking, and regular weekend chores. Been sleeping really well and getting up between 6-7 every day. I stopped taking my anxiety med...

One of my favorite Cathe's was Cardio leg blast on the X-train series. I miss it! Doing legs is always somewhat cardio for me because the program I'm using has between 30-60 seconds of work and then 15-30 seconds "rest". My heart rate gets up for most of the time. Today was leg day for me...

My week was good. I got walks in every day and did an upper body workout on Tuesday after work and a lower body on Thursday. Our 33rd anniversary was on Friday. We made a nice dinner and of course marveled at how young everyone looked in our wedding album. It's been weirdly damp and humid...

That total body with one dumbbell sounds great. I love when I don't need a lot of equipment and there are lots of compound moves. Heavy, short, and sweet! I did a 20 minute lower body workout yesterday of lunges, squats, and step ups. Some days I just feel like shorter workouts! Today is...

What a nice vacation! Wouldn't a home hot tub be nice to have. DH uses the one at the gym, but it's with a motel and can get pretty dirty. We went up and saw the the surgeon yesterday. She is ruling out a groin strain/sprain in a muscle for a month. If no improvement on prescription...

Summer is flying by! Are you in the mountains this week? 63 will be here before we know it. I recommend part time-with a fixed schedule. Then your other part time job can be working out! The marketplace is tricky-especially now that Covid is "over". Spent some time with my parents and DH...

This week has been pretty good. The weather cooled and I had to wear a jacket on Tuesday and Wednesday to walk to work. It's been much better sleeping weather too. I feel that way about learning new information. There is only so much you can remember and retain and feel good about. The...

I've had a good week. I started a book called Outlive by Dr. Peter Attia. His goal is to prevent the start of the four horsemen of disease: metabolic syndrome, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and alzheimer's. I'm only 10 percent in and some of the material is already known, but I like his...

What great workouts you got in this week! I'm glad you're foot is healed. I like upper and lower splits because you can really do chest and back and get a lot of the arm muscles involved so you don't really need as many bi's and tri's exercises. I did a unilateral leg workout yesterday and am...

How was your week? I got an extra cardio workout in on Wednesday before cards which was good. I'm back to upper and lower splits for weights-at least that was the last week. I end up doing whatever I feel like anyway. It threw me off a bit working last Saturday. I've been having a lot of...

This has been a weird week for me. I had to work Saturday from 7-1, so was given flex time from 3-5 the 3 days I work. I was able to get in an upper and a lower body on two of the days. But then Saturday only walked-worked until all the patient's were seen and got home around 2:30 and was...

Glad you got some down time from work last week and got some great workouts in. I think for stress exercise is so beneficial. Glad the pellets are working out. Do you get your period on them? I've been doing my regular stuff. DS2 is updating his Linked in page, so we're helping him edit...

Book club went well! My house was presentable and everyone liked the book. Next month is Neil Gaiman's book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I haven't started it yet because my BIL sent me a book about Egyptian myths which I'm now skimming in an attempt to finish. There is very little plot...
