15 min spin to warm up and then 30 min of bicep/tricep work, and 30-45 min of stretching and abs work. weather is still unpleasantly hot and smoky air. might be better tomorrow. we had an old hot tub that we've had for 23 years. it was barely working anymore so today we had it removed...

did 30 minutes at least of stretches, probably closer to 45. then 15 on the spin bike and a selection of upper body exercises for another 35 minutes. we have terrible smoke. windows shut and low level AC on . absolutely terrible air right now. there's a fire just on the east side of...

its scary as hell carolyn!. spokane is a big city not a little burb in the middle of the forest . when the wind gets going the fire advances rapidly. In a city they cant dig or burn fire lines to block progress of the fire and last i heard it was not at all under control. dont...

just stretching again today. Several sessions. plus a little garden work. we got some rain but not enough really. we could stand to get many inches. as you can see from the news, the eastern part of the state is having major fires. very scary for everyone especially around the...

We also did the mackinac island tour but i think you could still drive on the island. went to see the locks at Sault St Marie. my father liked "engineering marvels" i guess. mostly we would go to Door County. or the Wisconsin Dells. most destinations were only a few hours drive...

Carolyn i thought the canned hydrogenated oils were used too. I use butter for what i need which is not that much. i use it for cookies . I dont like anything on bread. I dont care much for frosting or cakes. its a minuscule part of my food intake. not trying to sound like a...

so im resting after our ride and i looked it up. actually, a lot of states didn't allow colored margarine. wisconsin was the last state to legalize in 1967! it still doesnt allow it in restaurants unless customer asks for it. the AI summary link...

We rode the trail this morning. 15 miles 1 hr 15 min. yesterday i just did a lot of stretching and ab work. Carolyn margarine came in plastic pouches with a little dye tablet inside. somebody, usually one of us kids, had to knead and massage it to get the dye distributed so it was yellow...

Cathy we use I-90 a lot going seattle to Montana most of the way is fast and efficient. but when one gets close to Seattle/Bellevue area it turns into a parking lot. I-5 anywhere near Seattle is horrid and the "bypass" 405 is just as bad. We seldom use I-5 thru Seattle unless there is...

We rode our regular trail this morning for an hour and 20 minutes. have not seen any mergansers like we saw last year. the swifts that nest in our chimney have started flying. they left about a week ago but come back several times during the day and at night for a while until they are...

Did my large shopping run to Costco early today. then did some garden work, dropped primary ballots off at the PO and two series of stretches before and after shopping then did half of stacked upper body and another set of stretches. it was better than my try at stacked upper body a...

We rode the trail this morning as planned. 15 miles an hour 15 minutes. i at least didn't get any soreness from Stacked upper body yesterday. a good reminder. use it or lose it. weather here has moderated so high will be about 80. too hot for me but not complaining. i never like hot...

I did stacked upper body kinda/sorta. 10 min on the bike to start. I havent done any weights in a few weeks so i found a few things harder than expected. i always find curls harder than they should be. a good reminder that i need to do this or something similar 2-3 times a week or my...

I probably overdid the walking over the weekend but what really did me in was the PT session on monday. I did the exercises, but it irritated, really irritated !! something in my lower hip area. today it is finally feeling better. almost 4 days. Im icing it a lot, not doing much, and...

carolyn its crazy!. i used this doctor who is part of the group who did my back surgery for labs late last year and all was fine . i didnt change anything. the group who i use for most things just decided not to acknowledge orders from outside their group. I'm medicare plus...

I went to PT today and explained about the hip issues. she had me do a bunch of specific exercises, a lot of them , and one in particular made it hurt. a simple move . i got more sore as the day went on and ended up with an ice pack on and sitting most of the day. Our guests left this...

did another 3 hour hike today. this is along the shore but a lot of up and down and yes, my poor hip is not happy. it distracts me from my back. i am starting to sound like a whining crank but thi is not sore muscles. hopefully something fixable if it can be identified. i am sure...

We fit in a trail ride this morning even with the rain predictions. 1 hr 20 minutes on a very uncrowded trail. we were the only car in the parking lot when we got done. it was cloudy, nice for a change, and now we have some actual rain with mild thunder and lightning. we seldom get...
