    Ruth, adorable grand puppy. Nats way to go.

    At the gym feeding the Fitbit Surge (growls that her Zip fell out and was lost last Friday. Finished a major work project over the weekend, so hoping to focus on my LE therapy for a month or so.

    Hiked four miles on the Crater Rim and a few other trails today at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We were still a bit jet lagged (Hawaii doesn't do daylight savings so it is a three hour time difference even for us Californians, this time of year), so took it easy. Planning a more ambitious bit of walking tomorrow. However, you can't beat the view; for the first time in all the times I've been here (did I mention that the Big Island is my favorite place on the planet?) this is the first time I've seen lava visible in the Kilauea Crater (I've seen glow at night before, but the lava is usually too far below the rim to see)....

    More pics tomorrow! :-)

    Mary, you and DH look terrific and good going on the 5k and Octo, enjoying your photos and travel insights too. Claire, reads as a busy and fun travel time for you as well. Delivered BB #74 last night for the 1st. time. Was slightly wonky in a few tracks, yet overall this somewhat cluttered and swift choreography landed correctly for most to understand and accomplish. One of my pink ribbon ladies was in the front and was able to give her specific lower options as she recent went through revision surgery -- knowing the strong shoulder stretches would be too much to bear. Going on this afternoon to work on specific tracks timing as I co-teach tomorrow and want to get this release tighter.

    Gorgeous hiking pictures, Octo!

    I marked myself off the sub list for today so I could get some things done around home (the beauty of subbing!). I will go to my hybrid class in a few minutes, do yoga tonight & hopefully get a bunch of stuff done in-between!

    Octo, beautiful pics!! Enjoy your vacation.

    I have walked between 30-45 minutes daily since last checking in with the exception of Sunday. I rested. Still on track with eating healthy, as well. Keep on keepin' on, ladies! :)

    Yesterday was day 1 week 1 of c25k. Warm up, walk\run, cool down

    Today was cross train - 25 minutes on recumbent bike

    Sorry I don't mention all you other posters' posts - I'm usually on my little notepad and typing is a pain in the *ss 😝

    I do read them all though!

    Night sculpted sisters!

    I also read them all, even when I'm a couple pages behind which is becoming normal for me. You all do inspire me to continue working on my exercise and eating. I usually do something 5-6 days a week though most of it does not register to my fitbit.

    Continue the great work my sculpted friends. See some of you in San Antonio in a few weeks.

    Night.

    Octogirl: LOVE all the pictures!

    Nats: Nice picture of you and your dh.

    Ruth: Looks like fall will be here soon.

    Hi All! Friday through Sunday I attended an adult Girl Scout event at one of our Girl Scout camps. My dd, good friend, and her daughter camped in platform tents and signed up for different classes. I made a bluebird house, went really slow in a paddle boat, and made a cool Halloween decoration involving bats and a ghost. Lots of walking and laughing the entire weekend! The four of us entered the costume contest and won a prize (candy)! We were the Scrabble Scouts. I'm holding Sister and dd is holding Honest.

    Lovely pictures Octogirl and Ruth. Glad to see you back with us Sweet and yes so looking forward to San Antonio Patoo, it's like a month away woohooooo, Claire your east coast adventure sounds wonderful. Love your picture Wonderland. Wendi good job with the walking as I know it's probably oppressively humid out there in the IE, it's bad enough here in the OC.

    Yesterday went to Cardio Dance Party and tonight Grit Strength and CX Works.

    hi all, great pix everyone! 6-month follow-up with onc today, all is well. BP 112 / 70 NICE. Weight still ten lbs over where I'd like to be but working on it. Onc asked about exercise and was impressed I had 11K steps for the day (~4 pm). Been on anastrozole two years now with few complaints. He says three more years then done. In my situation, there's no benefit to more than ten years of hormonal tx and I was on tamox for five. Will do a DEXA scan (bone density test) next year.

    Lots of fun trips going on! Enjoying everyones photos. I forgot my shoes at home so my lunchtime walks went away so I have to squeeze in some evening minutes I only walked 15 minutes yesterday evening but I managed 30 today. I am trying to diet this week after an overeating weekend so I am trying to find the sweet spot where I get enough exercise but dont stir up my appetite. Not easy

    Sweet, I am on the Ipad too and my son must have changed the settings so sometimes I have no punctuation, much less spelling. I totally cannot hit the right keys

    No exciting pics today, instead of hiking I met a friend who moved here to the Big Island a few years ago for lunch.....walked around Hilo, about mile all told. Hiking back on the agenda for tomorrow.

    Aloha;

    ThumbsUp on the checkup, badger.

    I am going to class & yoga this morning; and, since is a lovely fall day, I will probably dog-nap the grandpuppy for a walk this afternoon.

    just lost my whole post!

    Week 1 day 4 of c25k this morning. Walked about 1.5 miles from office to parade staging area after work and another 1.5 miles in the parade handing out boxes of popcorn from our float. Really humid and had liquid awesome running in my eyes the 'whole route. Good times! Breakfast for dinner after parade at one of my fave little restaurants, then a shower (ahhhh....bliss) and now relaxing.

    Night all

    Happy Friday, ladies!! I've committed to and power walked a minimum of 30 minutes daily this week. It's going to be a busy weekend, but I will make the time to keep it going. I've lost 6 pounds in two weeks so I'm chugging along.

    I have to keep reminding myself how great I feel after I work out. Lol! Keep up the great work!

    Attawoman Wendi!

    This Girl Can

    "A background on the 'this girl can' video: Sport England is an organization that funds fitness programs in the UK. In their surveys they found that most women in their country wanted to be more active but were intimidated. They felt they were too heavy, too old, too uncoordinated, too self-conscious, or too whatever .....so they created this video of real women of all shapes & sizes just out there moving & having fun. If 'this girl can', then every other girl can too." [edit to give credit to Ruth, who posted this a while ago.]

    Wendi, sounds like you are speeding through not chugging along!  Love the vid, badger! Congrats on the great BP.

    I'm counting Thursday's massage as exercise as well as 20 minutes of stretching last night. I will get more active today.

    The parade was our annual harvest festival parade. The harvest festival has become a popular community activity and the parade had I think something like 125 entries this year. My company's float is an old fashioned popcorn cart, really cute. We wear jeans with white button down shirts, red bow ties and white hats, handing out boxes of popcorn (assembled and filled by company personnel) from white boxes that have a black strap to go up around the neck (like a ballpark vendor). It's a huge hit every year and this year we gave away 2500 boxes of popcorn while walking about a mile parade route.

    Six pounds in two weeks is great Wendi! so happy for you - keep it up!

    Loved the video badger

    Can't wait for San Antonio!!!!!

    Did week 1, day 6 of c25k on this beautiful cool fall morning. Total 67 minutes mostly brisk walk with nine 2-minutes run segments (to the tune of 'Porn Star Dancing' Shocked ) Sounds pretty bad but it's got the perfect beat for me Winking

    Have a great weekend my sculpted sisters!
