Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Cheryl, I do recognize your friend Nichol (with super toned arms) a she is prominent on the #69 cover, in perfect technique bird (crow in yoga) pose. Good for Nichol to be chosen and perhaps I'll meet her. Sounds like a fun time in Chicago. HeidiHill, yes, if plans change love to be with you in Stockholm. Annie88, fantastic 6er' and Outrunning and geewhiz good going on a 10k! S&S, text book and smooth as silk recovery thoughts for you.

Lots of gardening and rain Sunday and Monday which was a holiday here and back to the gym today, BB and yoga.

9/1- happy Sept friends. One hour of resistance training at the gym today.

Hi all, have walked 30 to 50 minutes (at least ) everyday since the weekend when we arrived to start vacation. I really need to keep it up as we are enjoying our food and drink in this quaint seashore town!

Ruthbru - was Barre hard? I see the folks coming out of there just drenched so I have been a bit chicken to try it out so far.

I ran 4.19 miles (I have a new gps watch, lol - so I know exactly. I also am surprised by how SLOW I run. Geewhiz. But I guess at least I am moving!)

I have been running for 10 weeks now and just finally saw the scale move down a few pounds. Yay!

NatsFan - I can't believe you made 4 miles in those temperatures. Wowza. Good for you for taking a walk break - running in heat can be SO dangerous. not to mention draining!

Barre wasn't hard-hard (but it was just the first night of the first time it was offered, so maybe the teacher was just trying to lure us back), but surprisingly intense and I can sure feel it in my legs today.....so that is a good thing, right? It is hot & steamy here too......glad I am not trying to teach kids stuff this week in our old, un-airconditioned school!

WWW walked this morning out on a kind of wild trail. I will post a picture of it....no one else was out there so we had to take the 'people pictures' in two groups.

Back at the gym today. 4+ miles and leg weights. Arms and shoulders have to wait another week or two but back to abdominals. PT tomorrow.

Cheryl . . .thanks for the suggestion. I joined the photography board with SoCalLisa. Posted my butterfly collage there. It really was fun "chasing butterflies" especially with dh's help and no kiddos in tow (mine are 19 and 13 and stayed home).

Scottie

I cede the Energizer Bunny Title to Cheryl.....she is ALWAYS on the move!

I spent most of the day getting organized for my Boston trip (I am a terrible procrastinator when it comes to packing) and went to yoga tonight. Tomorrow about this time I should be finishing a nice seafood dinner at the Union Oyster House!

What is Vi-box Lilac?

Crazy exercise night for me - DH and son went with me to park. DH ran 4 miles all sub 7 minutes.Good for him but slightly annoying since I am the tortoise here. My youngest son ran with me, in front of me...beside me...around a tree...zigzags...also stopped dead in his tracks for a cool rock making me tumble right on top of him and even picked up a stick to swat mosquitoes from us and I was pretty sure I was going to be rapped upside the head at any point. We made 2 miles and some great memories

geewhiz, it's sort of like boxercise (I think more hip and cool music) ,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-IdCMfQfKs

Geewhiz - sounds like a fun run with your son! And I'm a tortoise too - I can't imagine running sub-7 minute miles - I'm lucky if I can do that on my bike!!!

Ruth - you-re going to love Boston! Any chance of catching a game at Fenway while you're there? Lilac - Vi-box sounds like an intense workout!

Three mile run this morning - I got out at 5:30 to avoid the heat, and it was STILL warm and humid.I'm hating this heat wave. Lots of deer out before dawn. I have one of those little belt running lights so I can see but it's only good for 20 feet or so ahead of me. I was running along, and suddenly my light showed 6 deer blocking the sidewalk in front of me - 4 does and two fawns. The 6 of them just stood there watching me, not moving off the sidewalk at all. It was if they were daring me to keep coming! Finally when I got within about 10 feet they deigned to move. Sheesh!

My trainer is back from vacation. 1 hour hard workout strength training. I hurt already, which is not a good sign for tomorrow. New thing for me today. TRX pike. Fun but HARD!

Hi again all! Jealous of everyone's workouts (hahaha - like I can be anywhere near justified in that. It's not like I've been playing to role of Denise Austin or anything remotely near it lately!

Surgery went fabulously PTL. Dr Bayne told DH my uterus was 'yucky', meaning covered with lots of fibroids, a couple of which she described as 'massive' - yikes! It totally explains why my ob/gyn doctors for years have told me my uterus was 'enlarged' or 'larger than normal'. Bottom line - hysterectomy was absolutely the right move. I get to see color pictures of my 'innards' at my follow-up which I think is pretty cool. DH already saw them while I was in post-op room. Surgery was 7:30am EST and I got home around 1pm. DH and DM (dear mommy) were at the hospital and spent the afternoon with me. Mom picked up Arby's for a late lunch - yummy!!!! We yacked and yacked all afternoon and I still feel pretty fine. DH made prepared tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and even bought me my one of my favorite treats at the bakery - glazed donut holes, mmmmmmmm! I made the conscious decision to break my own recently made rule about donut holes for surgery day - they're one of my comfort foods. No pain meds necessary as yet although I am starting to get a headache. Been drinking lots of water, and yes, I'm behaving. I have no problem at all being lazy at any given moment, and now I even have doctor's orders to be a slug.......I'm in heaven....lol! DD is coming in from Maryland on Saturday for a week. DS and fiancé are coming late Saturday and spending the night. First time in just over a year since DD has been home and we've all been in the same house at the same time together

Oh, btw, I overheard my post-op nurse tell the next nurse she handed me off to that I've got serious sleep apnea. I knew it! I had already scheduled an appointment with the sleep disorder clinic earlier this year for July 16 but it was rescheduled for September 24. At this point I'd be willing to sleep with a football helmet on if it would help me get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep in a row. It's been at least 10 years since I've had what is commonly known as 'a good night's sleep'.

Love to all - I'm going to resume my couch potato stance now

Glad you could join us and hope you don't mind the occasional nagging voices which keep us motivated. Funny how peer pressure still works as we get older ...
