I did get in a good workout today despite, changes in my day and having to mess with youtube and getting charged for a gaming subscription my grandson happened to purchase. Found that the restricted you tube was no longer on restricted. Someone is messing with my youtube settings. He should not have been able to make a purchase without my authorization either. I did some more cleaning, fixed my floppy kitchen sink handle. It just needed me to get an Allen wrench to do it. Ordered the rest of what I need for Sunday from Whole Foods. Ordered Amy's refried beans and they were expensive since I ordered 4 cans. I just hope they do not have chunks of onions or something in them as some of the family including my husband will not eat them. Neither will I as I won't eat the beans. I read ingredients and they sound like traditional refried beans with healthier oil added to it. I was hoping my girls would let me know what they were bringing, but that often happens the day before the event and I don't have time to run to the store. Will make cookies tomorrow when my order comes. I guess the landscaper had some reason to go out of town and it will be sometime this next week. And I will be doing school and walking the dog I guess. Ought to be a challenge again.
I did Coffey Fit Raw Shadow Boxing #1 and loved it. It was 42 minutes, 219 calories, heart rate 126/162 (which I am surprised at since I started out with my heart rate at 59) and 3,676 steps. This is not impact and just boxing with egg weights or dumbbells. Kelly uses 2# egg weights and slows it down a bit for form with the weights. She does do some ducks, side steps, and movement while boxing. No kicks. The music was good on this one as well. Since my neck and shoulders were not spasmed or anything from this(which I was worried about) I went ahead and did Walk Strong 3 Barre Sculpt 31 minutes, 59 calories, heart rate 86/128, using 2 and 5 # dumbbells and a non weighted ball, 648 steps. Total time was 73 minutes, 278 calories. 4,324 steps.
Valerie, sorry that you got there without some warmer clothes. I think it is cooling off here. I turned the fan off when I went to bed last night and when I got up I was considering whether a cup of hot coffee would warm me or I needed to put on a hoodie or something. I hate to start that too soon. We have had some winds and leaves are blowing all over. I went out the last two days and swept, since I hate having it end up in front of the door and come inside right after I clean. It was back again this morning.
I get interruptions through most of my workouts and they end up logging in at longer than they actually should have been. My husband's cell phone is downstairs, but he has it as loud as it will go and every time someone calls it or messages it sits there and bings till I open it and check it out. I monitor, as I do not want to wake him for something unnecessary. I paid for extra call protect plus, but he allows one thing on his because he may get calls from people in his contacts. Somehow even though we have political blocked he gets tons of that kind of stuff and others. It is annoying when I am working out and it is that sort of thing.
I only allow contacts. If I have a service that I am working with at the time, I add them to my contacts list. So, I get very few of those calls.
Carolyn, you know I did not really care for the Chair Stretch the first time I did it. Then it just grew on me. It really is a nice, but relaxing stretch and I have done it a lot. I use some of the moves when I am just sitting in the mornings with my Bible propped up on my stand reading. So, I read and stretch at the same time
. Nice work today. I am enjoying having some peace. I need to think about how I can get out a few times in the near future though. I need to go get a flu shot, but usually like to wait till the end of October or early November. I plan on going out to vote and guess I will leave my two grandchildren here. My husband will be here, just sleeping if there is something serious. She is almost 13, she can handle her 6 year old brother for awhile.
Cathy, I do hate when I type out a whole post and it disappears on me. Sorry that that happened. When I come back it is usually the condensed version and everyone doesn't have to deal with my long post

Saturday my Whole Foods order was missing quite a lot of stuff. I hope I get everything I ordered this time. It is really hard to get back out to the store again. I already suffered through Walmart yesterday. Note to self, stay away from Walmart. Why are there so many people there shopping in the Market on a weekday? Plus my husband gave me another mask that is not quite as heavy as the one I usually wear that I had purchased for allergies a few years ago. I put it on and it slid down my face on way into the store so I had to switch on the way in. He got them from his work. I need to sew those straps up I guess. Mine allergen one has two elastic bands that go around the head, not the ears and is lined.
We have a small back yard and the trees are on the other side of the back fence. From there I get pecans and acorns dropping all over. Those things are a mess to clean up. The leaf vacuum does not pick up those and the rakes take forever bouncing over the top of them. They sprout little trees all over. There are trees all around us, one of the neighbors drops seedlings that point into the ground and sprout quickly if you don't clean them up. I get trees grow in my flower pots. The people that lived here before us put in a big brick planter between the two driveways (ours and our neighbors) it was gull of morning glories and he had a bird bath sitting in the middle on top of a tree stump. It looked ridiculous. We got that out and my grandson dug out the stump. We pulled the morning glories out every winter when they died off and they came back like weeds every year. You only enjoy the flower in the early morning. We finally killed it off, and filled in with rock planning to add some sort of evergreen.
We couldn't just let things go here. I try to plant grass seed every year till this year. I gave up. I worked hard on loosening the top soil and working the seed in last year when I was having the major pain and shoulder problems. Just did not want to do that this year. But, it is a mess as our dog has to hope over the water to find a spot in the river when it is flowing in the back yard from rain. I put stepping stones out there so I could avoid the mudd. She does not like stepping in the water. She is not your normal lab.
