Here's the Wednesday Walking Women picture. The signal we're making is Bison Horns. The North Dakota State University Bison football team are playing for a National Championship this weekend & their saying is 'Horns Up!".

The Bruno pictures are cute! Love the tug of war one.
Go Bisons!
It's a cloudy, rainy day. Exercised in the house.

Dd bought 2 huge ornaments (size of a beach ball) from Michael's during their after Christmas sale. She asked me to dot one of them. I've been staring at it everyday wondering what to do with it. Decided tonight to just pull out my paints and see what happens. My exercise of the brain.

That is gorgeous!!!

Always love your dot paintings Wonderland!
It was also in the 60's here yesterday (actually for most of the past week)...but our last day of nice weather of that kind for at least a couple of weeks, so we sat outside at sunset yesterday to see the colors and watch the full moon come up, beautiful.
So the "horns up" looks very similar to UTexas' "hook'em horns" just with the hand facing away or towards the body! That should be a good and COLD game. My school was beat out at the quarterfinals by Montana St...in subfreezing temps...way to cold for our team from Virginia.
I did 3 of the yoga by adrianne videos yesterday in her new year free series...I have been wanting to do one of her kick of the new year series for several years, but haven't and not sure I am totally impressed. Off today to the live yoga studio for a yin class at lunchtime, and hope to get back for a happy hour workout at 5.
Happy Three Kings Day -- according to our family rules, this is the last day to have the Christmas tree lit, taking it all down is my weekend chore. TT

TT, the Bison have an indoor stadium, so weather is not an issue for them anytime.....and the championship is played down in Texas where it will be in the 60/70s (their opponent is South Dakota State who beat Montana is another very cold outdoor game). South Dakota is ranked #1 & the Bison #3 so it should be interesting.
I tried out a new Denise Austin DVD today, 'Fat Burning Dance Mix', and will probably do a dog walk this afternoon. I am also tracking my food as I need to get off the weight I gained over the holidays!!!

I was cleaning out my crafting cabinet and rediscovered these little wooden reindeer. I had cut them out probably 35 years ago when I cut out and painted several of them for Christmas. These 2 never got painted until yesterday.
Met a friend today for our walk and talk session. Fast walking and talking is hard on me as I prefer to walk alone and only "talk" in my head. lol. And, I end up not walking as fast as I do alone. But it is nice to catch up with my friend.

I felt inspired today to paint the other side of the huge ornament. This pattern definitely has more dots than the other one.
Went for my walk/run but stopped halfway through. I had eaten very little during the day and even less to drink and it was affecting me. Lesson learned. Came home and told dh to be ready to go out to eat in 30 minutes. Now I'm well fed and ready to wrap up in a blanket and watch Glass Onion.

I am jealous of how crafty you are, Wonderland!
I did a pilates DVD & a cardio dance DVD. After that I went to a baby shower where I ate many delicious finger foods & cake! DS & fiance had a dinner date so we watched the first half of Glass Onion while babysitting the tiny puppy they are fostering. We will have to finish it later because now we are home & DH is watching some playoff football game!

Hello everyone and best wishes for 2023! Just finished catching up on the postings. Looks like everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Wonderland - You have such artistic talent!
Ruth - Bruno looks like he has such a wonderful spirit!
Bumping up exercise in an effort to help lower A1c of 6.0 (as tested in early Dec) and avoid prediabetes medication. Also, paring back on sugars, carbs, etc. Awaiting Feb MO visit for results of 12/22/22 Dexa. Wish they would post result online to "MyChart". Not sure why I have to wait to see a Dr for results since I could interpret them on my own.
We enjoyed Glass Onion. So amusing to see Daniel Craig in a role so different from 007.

Happy New Year, Celiac! I am logging all my food with my Fitbit ap in an attempt to shave off some pounds (you can regain calories through exercise, which I really like, plus it tells you how much protein, sodium etc. you've consumed which is good when you want to eat a more balanced diet. I have been terrible about what I'm eating and how much I've been eating too.
Yoga for me today. I will probably need to do some cardio so I can eat dinner! Ha!

Zumba & errand running

Celiac: Good luck getting your A1c down. Sounds like you're on a good track to do it.
Getting things marked off my "things I need to do but not necessarily with a timeline" list. Feels good.
It rained yesterday so no formal exercise. Today I was able to walk/run. Weather looks favorable here until Thursday evening.

I went to Pound this morning, this evening I will go to Zumba & maybe stay for Yoga too.

Brought a huge pile of old blankets and towels to our local animal shelter. Some were mine, some my dd's, and some from dh's aunt who passed away. Also brought a bag of clothes to be recycled. Good to get these items out of the house.
Ruth: I went to a place that sells small river rocks and picked up a couple. Going to paint one with a bear sunning in a small backyard pond and mail it to a friend later this month
Walked/ran in nice cool weather today.

That will be awesome, Wonderland, as all your artistic efforts are!
Here are the Wednesday Walking Women. We are dressed in purple to cheer on the Minnesota Vikings in their playoff game on Sunday.

What a colorful picture, Ruth!
My exercise today was painting the river rock I got yesterday. It's a little bit bigger than my hand and the surface is very rough. Too longer to paint bc of the roughness. I painted it for a friend who is sick. Her backyard is nature's paradise including a pond and visits from bears. It's been awhile since I painted a fun bear.
I wish I had walked today. Hope to do it tomorrow bc it's supposed to be rainy by early evening.

That is the cutest thing ever, Wonderland!

Luckily I was able to get my exercise in earlier today. I just heard thunder and it's supposed to start raining soon.

That bear is too cute!
We had thunderstorms last night...the weather is just so crazy.
Have built up to 5 days at the gym, yoga tonight...still working on getting up to 6 days. I have been adding in some of the classes that I had to drop in April(!) due to my knee injury...and I can feel it! ...but that is good. School starts up for me on Tuesday after the MLK holiday.
Happy weekend! TT

That's great, TT!
I burned calories this morning trying to stay warm while helping to load 1500 cases of Girl Scout cookies into troop leaders' cars, trailers, etc. It was outside in 36 degrees, cloudy, and breezy for 3 and one half hours. So Cold! My toes and especially fingers were freezing. Luckily there were 9 of us doing it which made it go quickly. Be sure to buy a box of cookies if you see Girl Scouts selling at stores!

I love Girl Scout cookies & will definitely buy several boxes!
I went to Barre & did an indoor walking DVD today.

Ruth, thanks for checking in on me. It's nice to be cared about. I don't remember the last time I posted. I do skim posts but don't read them all.
My foot started bothering my mid to late December when I was traveling and finally went to the doctor on Thursday - stress fracture. I absolutely hate the boot, and so bummed that no walking for at least 2 weeks. Walking is my stress reliever as well as being outside. It's not warm enough to sit outside and read.
Work is going well. Not too busy this month, but starting a maternity coverage end month, beginning February/end January through the rest of the year.
Winter, I was a cookie mom for 12 years - 6 years for each of my daughters. I don't eat them anymore but still buy for my kids - my girls can't them since they don't live in the states. When all the kids were home we bought 24 boxes and they lasted through the year. Now I buy 6 or 7 for the kids and donate 1 or 2 to hometown heroes. Waiting for a local girl scout to come by selling.
Everyone stay safe, warm and healthy.

So glad to hear from you, Karen! Bummer about the stress fracture. When you are an active person, it very frustrating not to be able to move!!
It was nice here today so we went for a dog walk. I feel like I'm starting a cold, so have loaded up on Vitamin C & Zicam.

Karen - Healing energies coming your way!
Did my normal Silver Sneakers classes today: Classic, Fusion (Barre, Pilates, Yoga combo) and Cardio. Just settling in to watch Bengals vs Ravens game. Go Bengals!

Karen: So glad you posted! You have been missed. Sorry about your stress fracture. I can only imagine this has been very difficult for you since you're so active and you love walking. It's unbelievable how much Girl Scout Cookie selling has changed. Girls can now seI ll and keep track of all their sales on their phone. It's crazy!
I have a runny nose and weepy eye (only one) so decided to stay inside today and not go for my walk. Hope to feel better tomorrow.
