Mommy- hope your recovery goes quickly! Pat - fun about you taking violin lessons. I'm doing something similar - I found a free language teaching app, so I'm taking Irish Gaelic (my ancestry). I'm sure I'll never be good, but it's fun to try. Badger - glad you're in a new job! And thanks for posting the MTM pic with Ruth. Classic line: "You know what? You've got spunk. I HATE spunk!"
Beautiful picture, Ruth! What a sky. Tessu - quite a roll indeed!
Beautiful weather here yesterday in the 60's, so I took a long walk. Enjoying the birds at the suet feeders this morning.

Did a Kick Boxing class, now off to eat way too much and listen to music. I'm sure glad my friends have become gym rats

Nice bird pix, Mary! I have two feeders: a wire cylinder with seeds for the finches & sparrows and a suet feeder for the woodpeckers. Love to watch them, so pretty. We have cardinals too but they, like the mourning doves, are too big to eat from the feeder so ground-feed on the spillage. We also have a clever and ambitious squirrel that can climb a metal pole to get at the wire feeder and paw out/lick up seeds from the bottom tray. He is successful, and fat.
Did a lot of reading today so took five-minute walk breaks every hour to stay alert (awake).

Lovely pixs Ruth & Nats. Ruth you're entitled to eat what you want after a kick boxing class. Exercise today was a walk this afternoon at work. Bit cooler today and will be winter again tomorrow. Only down here can we go from 70 to 30 or below in 24 hrs.

Scottie, My DH was in Atlanta this week for work. He said the weather was gorgeous yesterday. The weather in Denver can drop 40 degrees in a day. Spring one day and winter the next.
Its been cold this week...single digits in the mornings. Need to bundle up to get my morning walk in. After dinner I started out warm, but the end I was freezing. I use map my walk and not till I started writing this post did I realize I never turned it off...I've been done with my walk for over 90 minutes. Next week weather is going to be in the 50's
Ruth...sounds like you're having a great time in AZ.

Got my first post surgery workout in. Started back into working out with 15 minutes.

Pilo this morning, and then took a walk because, for goodness sakes, I'm in Arizona! I was so cold that I was wearing pants, a hooded sweatshirt and could have used mittens!

Tuesday and Wednesday I went to yoga class. Today was a 30 minute walk with ny husband but darn cold and wintry. i can only hope it will jump start me off this weight loss plateau. Trying to lose some lbs I ganied and am almost there but totally stalled this week despite eating really well all week.
Beautuful Arizona pic and birdie pics.

Love your birds pictures, Nats. We have feeders also and it's so fun to watch the birds. I have an apple tree and in the winter I call it my Cardinal tree. A few days ago there were 16 cardinals sitting in it.
M0mmy: glad you are able to get back to exercising after your surgery.
Ruth: maybe it will warm up before you leave.
TH: I'm fightin the weight gain also. Too much holiday food, then double ear infections that stopped any movement and now Girl Scout cookies! I'm back to exercising again but it's still hard to lose.
Walked/ran this afternoon.

I am stalled along with you ladies. Never got fully back onto my eating plan after the holidays. I have still been exercising but I am having muscle and joint pain, not sleeping well and I know my inflammation is up. I feel crappy so I eat crappy which is a vicious cycle...ugh

A very fun Zumba class....I will need to lose 10 pounds when I get home, that or only wear yoga pants!

Pretty little downy woodpecker, Mary. We have a nesting pair in the old maple tree in front yard. Today saw a nuthatch.
This is a fun site from WI Dept. of Natural Resources on winter bird feeding - Environmental Education for Kids - EEK!

Bought a bag of organic tangerines, cut one in half, and put it out by the feeders. Hoping for some cardinals.
Did errands this morning and took a quick walk around the block. Logged nearly 7,500 steps per the just-surfaced pedometer. Devoting this afternoon to paperwork management. Need to declutter and finally have time to organize and either file or shred stacks on coffee table, kitchen table, and sideboard.

Great link badger! Have fun decluttering.
Walk/jog today. Watching Saturday Night Fever now and feel the need to dance

Zumba yesterday but could only participate at a much lower intensity due to knee pain. It seems better today so I am planning to take a walk.

Going to workout a little later today. Just spent most of my morning doing housework. Going to try to get to 20 minutes today

Took my husband to the airport at 6:00 this morning. He's going to see our daughter. I was so tired when I got back that I laid down for an hour and closed my eyes. Haven't done much since except eat ice cream for breakfast and read the paper and be on fb, email and here. Oh yeah, I got a shower and did a load of laundry! Got to charge my phone then go for a long walk. Yesterday I got 30K steps! Walked so many places! Won't hit that again for a while. Have a great day

Karen, I read this thread almost every day and I am amazed at the number of steps you are able to walk. And yesterday you walked 30,000 steps. I have never come close to that number. I got excited one day last summer when I hit 12,000 steps while site seeing in NYC. I was so sore that night that I had to get up out of bed and take Advil so I could sleep. You ladies are sure an inspiration to me. I would post more but I feel so bad that I am not consistent with exercise. I am trying but I am sure weak and out of shape. But I do love this thread.

hi coffeelatte, glad to have you here. We are a diverse group here, all ages and stages, all levels of fitness. Have you seen This Girl Can video? It's great! I couldn't find the original YouTube video with the millions of views but here's a nice clear one on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/117922649
I walk and aim for 10,000 steps a day, so am one of the more moderate exercisers, but we're all awesome!
Cold enough this aft that I didn't want to walk to the grocery store for the onions I forgot yesterday. Drove there but then power walked the store for 30 mins. Put away groceries and got out for a brisk loop around the neighborhood park. Scalloped potatoes with ham for supper tonight mmm.

Hi Badger, thanks for the welcome and the video. I tried to watch it but nothing comes up on my screen so I will investigate how to find it tonight. If you can walk 10,000 steps per day in Wisconsin, I have no excuse to not get some more steps in than I do. I am 59 and the movement sure does help with the aches and pains. I had two extensive arm surgeries six years before my breast cancer diagnosis, so when the breast surgeon removed a few lymph nodes in that same arm, I got lymphedema so I was very hesitant to get moving and exercising again. Luckily, I found a great lymphedema therapist who has really helped with my arm swelling the past six months, so I feel much better about trying some things again. This thread is so encouraging. I am amazed at how fit some ladies are after breast cancer. So inspiring.

hmmmm... try this ...

There's also a wonderful thread here: Guidelines on Exercise for Those With/At-Risk for Lymphedema.
Here's a link and I'll bump it to the top of Active Topics for you.

Welcome coffeelatte (great name, by the way!). Whatever you can do is 100% more than not doing anything! It all counts (I am happy with 10,000 steps too). The weather has finally turned around in Arizona (boo hoo, we leave tomorrow), so I enjoyed a nice walk, and listening to a cowboy band on an outdoor patio. Here I am with a new friend with the Superstition Mountains in the background.

Joined an all women's group for some scuba practice in (an indoor, heated) pool....had my gear worked on and wanted to check it out. We spent over an hour swimming around (under water) and practicing skills. Really helped my mind set. Between that and a long walk yesterday I feel like I had a productive weekend of exercise. Right now I am sitting in front of the fire warming up (it is amazing how 84 degree water can be cold when you are under it for an hour or more!)

Thank you Badger, the video worked; however, the link to the community forum topic said it does not exist. I will try to find it. I have to be so careful with the arm but it feels so good to move. My husband and I went to the mall and walked today before it opened. It was a lot of fun. It was warm and there were a lot of other walkers. He was glad I talked him into it. We did about 6,000 steps and it felt great. I wear a vest with pockets so when my arm starts to ache from hanging down, I tuck it in the pocket and it really helps.

welcome coffeelattee, 30k is the exception for me. My goal is 15k/day. I started with 10k as a goal. The only exercise I do is walking. It is very therapeutic for me. I walk before walk, do my best during the work day to get out of the bldg for at least 20 minutes, but that doesn't always happen and rhen walking after dinner. My walks are about 25 minutes around the neighborhood. I used to walk in the mall early if the weather is bad, but I no longer enjoy the mall. I really feel the difference when I don't walk! Whatever exercise you do is great. My competition is only with myself!
WeSther is going to be in the 60's the next couple days then the 50's. Winter will be back though, but I'll take the warm weather for now
