Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Well, we have gotten our snow. My class was cancelled last night (did a toning DVD at home), and everything is shut down today (did another DVD). It's still snowing & blowing so there is no use in digging out until it quits. We are missing our neighbor dog because she and Bruno loved playing together is the snow. I am not a very good replacement!

Poor Bruno! I wouldn't be a good replacement either. Now if he wants to snuggle up and take a nap on a snowy day, that's a different thing.

We were fortunate that Storm Nicole's track changed and went further west from us. Unfortunate for the mountains as they had flooding,etc. We had rain but nothing like what was predicted. Very fortunate.
No formal exercise today. Dd came over for coffee and a fun visit during the late morning. In the afternoon I started going through drawers, things, etc. for decluttering. Felt good to make a little progress. A little at a time.

We got 8 inches of snow (and our street department is lousy at removing it); so, I helped shovel & then had DH (who is a more adventurous driver than I) chauffeur me around to the places I needed to go. I did a 40 yoga DVD & danced around to Marshall Fitness on utube. I haven't looked out the window yet but I suppose at sometime I will have to venture out & practice my winter driving skills. Blah!

Yesterday we had bands of rain from the tropical storm, but by the late afternoon/early evening it had cleared and we were in the low 70's...when I walked home from school last night I took off my rain coat it was so hot!
Only exercise yesterday and today is walking, approx one hr each day.
After my knee injury in April, I gained 16lbs! Now down 6...making me grateful for regaining my strength and encouraging me to exercise and not eat as a pastime...

Congratulations on your weight loss, TT. A constant battle for me!
I did a good Denise Austin DVD. It was toning but also had some cardio bursts too. Since there was no wind, we bundled up and went on a Snow Walk with Bruno. He really, really loves the snow!

WTG on your weight loss, TT! Eating as a pastime is definitely a struggle and a hard one to break.
Ruth: Bruno looks SO happy!
Walked/kinda ran today. Yesterday I was sweating but today it turned cold (not ND cold). Didn't get out the 40s. Made for a brisk walk.

Weather here took a turn as well and we had snow yesterday. Only about 1.5 inches - nothing like yours, RuthBru!
Did three Silver Sneakers zoom classes today - Classic, Fusion (mix of Yoga, Barre, Pilates) and then Cardio. Took yesterday off.
I need to get back on the wagon about trying to lose some weight, especially with winter/upcoming holidays. Hubs keeps buying things I cannot resist, though!

I have zero willpower as far as food goes, celia. I would like to lose a few pounds, but apparently not enough to eat junk!
I watched football most of yesterday, but did get in 30 minutes of cardio dance. I went to Zumba this morning & then bundled up and took Bruno to the Dog Park so he could have some dog fun in the snow.

celiac: I waited until Halloween day to buy my candy bc the bad weather that was predicted changed and I knew kids would be trick-or-treating. There was a lady at the candy isle also buying Halloween candy. She told me they never get kids trick-or-treating but her husband sent her to the store to get some "just in case." She left with 2 bags. I just shook my head lol.
Ruth: I know Bruno had fun at the park in the snow.
Today I finally relinquished my breast prostheses and wig and donated them to our local cancer services agency. I wore my protheses for 2 years before having delayed DIEP reconstruction in 2009. I had 3 of them - one I wore all the time, one I didn't like, and one for swimming. The one I wore all the time had deteriorated some and was not salvageable so I threw it away. The other 2 were still in great shape.
Walked/ran this late this afternoon. Well, I say late. I started at 4:20 but needed to be done before it started getting dark.

Wonderland, that is awesome. I wonder if I dare drag out my wig and donate it somewhere. It's still in its box in the back of a closet in the basement.

Ruth, my wig was still in its box in the back of my bedroom closet. It still looked great. Don't know why I held on to all of it. At first it was for "in case I need them again." But as time passed, I would say to myself, One day I need to pass these on to someone else who can use them. I've been doing a little decluttering and pulled the boxes out of the closet last week to reassess. This morning I woke up and said Today's the Day. Felt good.

For me, it's more of a superstitious thing than anything else.
0 -
No chemo for me, so no wig. However, I have hung onto specialty front closing bras used post surgery and during radiation just in case and a special under breast support cushion used during radiation "just in case." Guess I am also a bit superstitious.
Had my "over 65" flu shot today - first flu shot ever. Managed to get through all my afternoon classes including Line Dancing, Bodyweight Boot Camp and Zumba Gold.

Glad you got the flu shot, Celiac!
Our high school football team won the state championship over the weekend so the Wednesday Women walked at the high school and took a picture with the coach (who is a wonderful guy).

celiac: I keep hearing on the news how bad flu is already. Glad you got the shot.
Ruth: Congratulations on your football team! As always, great WWW picture.
Yesterday was a rainy, raw day so I stayed inside and painted. Earlier this year I painted for my dd a wood panel with interchangeable 6 inch square inserts for seasons/birthdays/etc. I had painted spring, summer, and fall inserts and gave her blank inserts for her to decorate. Well, she's been too busy to do any of them so I painted a Christmas/Winter one. It's the same background with detachable (Velcro) pieces.
Walked/ran some this afternoon.

I love your Christmas/Winter decorations, Wonderland!
It is really winter here. Cold, snowy, blowy, bad roads.....the whole thing. I went to Pound this morning ad, as the dinner I was supposed to go to tonight has been postponed, I will go to Dance2fit in a few minutes.

The photographer sent the rest of the pictures of dd's wedding on October 1. Here are some. First picture is dd and ds. Sorry if it's an overload!

What lovely pictures (you'd never know a hurricane was going on!) and what a gorgeous venue. Love the chandiler!

My friend in the Buffalo area lives right on the lake - here is her view!

Celiac: I hope you're friend is safe. That picture is crazy!
Ruth: We were very lucky that Saturday was nothing like the stormy day before. I was praying pretty hard!
Met a friend this afternoon to walk at a park. Going out for dinner tonight. Looking forward to it.

I met a friend for coffee & then went shopping for Thanksgiving Food. I snagged the last 20 pound turkey in the bin so was glad about that. I did an indoor walking DVD this afternoon.
I'm watching the National News about the big storm. Yikes, I guess I better not complain about our 8 inches. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it will be to dig out from that!

Prayers for everyone affected by this unbelievable snow.
Worked in the garden area pulling weeds and getting it ready to "put to sleep" for the winter.

I went to Yoga Strength & did another indoor walking DVD. With the weather being so awful to the east, I don't dare complain about ours!

I got on the treadmill this morning and did two miles in 30 minutes. I put Bolder Boulder (10k) back on my "goals" calendar as a date to shoot for, even though I won't be in Boulder for it this coming year. I wish I didn't hate the treadmill so much (at least I had GBBO holiday today) but the days are so shot and today even though it got to the upper 20s it is WINDY and just feels nasty out.
Also went through about 2/3 of a strength workout with my sister, by FaceTime. So that was good. Still more "choreobics" to do before the end of the day, and made no progresss on the quilt I was determined to finish this weekend. Oh well.
I am roughly 2,500 meters shy of a million logged meters on my rowing erg. Will hit that maybe tomorrow, then Thursday starts the "Holiday Challenge" and I will try for 200,000 meters by Christmas Eve.
I am loving everyone's photos! Wedding looks wonderful! And puppies!!! YAY!!!!

We bundled up & walked the dog this morning. I went to Yoga Strength this afternoon.
Bruno the Devil Dog enjoying the snow!

yesiam: That's impressive rowing! I like your term for chores.
Ruth: I'm sure Bruno was grateful for the walk.
This afternoon dh and I trimmed our 2 big out-of-control camellia bushes. Took over an hour to do. Thinking about cutting down one of them bc it's on the side of a sloop and it's dangerous to trim with the electric trimmers. The sloop is slick bc of the pine needles we put down in the spring and I fear one of us will fall down.

Hi everyone, I too enjoy the photos so much. Wonderland, your daughter's wedding was beautiful. And your Christmas artwork is fantastic. You are so very talented.....and then there is Bruno, the wonder snow dog, what can I say? He is too cute for words.
I am still struggling with a very cranky left hip. I did manage a 3-mile walk with DH yesterday and an hour of line dancing today. I use to line dance four days a week but now only dance twice a week to try and calm the hip. If the PT does not help, it may be a surgery at some point. I am not wanting to lose my exercise time if I don't have too. I am 65 years old and did not think I would be dealing with a nasty hip this soon. So I keep doing my exercises so I get a little stronger either way.
Ok, has anyone heard from Karen? I am very worried. I miss her.

coffeelatte: Sorry about your hip. Hope you don't need hip surgery. I'm friends with Karen on Facebook and she posts things pretty regularly on it. Don't know why she has stopped here. I also miss her. I miss Claire. The last time she posted was right before her trip to Scotland. Hope she's okay. I miss all the friends I've made here but who have stopped posting. This site has lost so many wonderful ladies with the mess they created in March. The mods say something new and exciting is coming in the new year. Meanwhile, members are leaving and not returning.
Walked/ran this afternoon.
