Hello everyone!

Well, I finally got in another workout this morning. I broke it up and did a 15 minute one mile walk and added a 20 minute jog this time. Mixing it up a bit!

So glad Kamala suggested this!

Now I have to get motivated to get out and shovel snow!

Someone asked if I had been diving. Unfortunately no. A protracted divorce has put my traveling on hold (plus kidnapped gear!), but I cant wait to get out there again!
This gives me something to look forward to!

I feel your pain!  When I got divorced, he kept my dive computer!  Luckily, I took my dive gear when I left.... Get that gear sooner than later! That's what Lawyers are for!  Keep positive!  This, too, will pass.

yesterday i got in my 4 walks and got on the tread climber

i have done 3 out of 4 walks today so far!

 

SUHWEET ED!!! Way to go!

 

 

Still shoveling snow. Only about an hour today. Lost communication with my cameras and security system in the detached garage. Why? Snow slid off the roof and was completely covering the windows. So I had to snowshoe a path up there and shovel off the windows.

Glad the snow is giving you a WORKOUT!!!  But fortunately no so many hours of it. Either there is less or you are getting faster!

 

 

I was able to do my eliptical for 30 minutes today.  Didn't go to Y to swim... TOO cold to get out...

Every bit counts!!! Proud of you!

 

 

Yay to all you all!!!!  Keep that good stuff going.  Probably only going to get my 3.5 mile walk with dog and 7 minute video.  Spent 5+ hours with mom at dr appts.  She is 91, still lives by herself and a great inspiration to me.  Until this past year she was swimming almost everyay in the pool at the RV park where she lives.  In Feb last year, she had some cancer removed from her lower left leg.  Would not heal, we have been going to wound care clinic since mid March....... Going to get a 2nd opinioin, but the dr she goes to is the number 1 recommended in Denver area    Anyhow she has been active all of her life, snow skiing until 70, water skiing until 70. went hang gliding with me on her 84th birthday!!  Totally my inspiration!

Kathy you are ALL OF OUR ROLE MODEL!!! You are a machine BUT YOU PROVE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU START SMALL AND SLOW AND KEEP GOING!!! Woo!! Hoo!!!

Truthfully I did it for me....I need the help to stay focused and take care of ME!!!  And FINALLY Last night I got my easy 15 min walk in and actually went for 24 mins!!! I'm just striving for 15 but I felt good so did a bit more. Yeah I know....I have a long ways to go...but baby steps are where I'm at right now and that's ok too!

[Mom2rjw]

Hi, everyone!  I'm getting ready to fly out of this midwest nightmare to COZUMEL!  I just did 30 min. of Elliptical and now getting stuff around....    Please check my most recent activity update and make sure yours is correct.  I tried to check all posts, so let me know if there's something that needs fixed!  Amy

[little mermaid]

Wahoo!! Thanks Amy for updating our daily stuff.  Ysterday 7.2 miles, dog walk and then walking with neighbors!  7 minute video and I have started the wall pushups, 30 each time!  It's FridayYay!  Going on a hike, possibly snowshoe depending on the conditions.

 

Happy Weekend to everyone, Amy I am so jealous you all are going diving!! Be safe and have a blast.

[Diver Ed]

Thank you Amy for your help with this.  I only got one 2 mile walk in yesterday, and decided to give the legs a break today, so no walking.  I have been on the stationary bike today, as well as some work on the weight machine.  I will do both again this evening, and get back to the walks tomorrow morning when the rain stops.

[Jaque]

Sounds like everybody else is doing pretty well, mixing up the routines. Very inspiring. Meanwhile, in Idaho, still shoveling snow. An hour and forty minutes today. More snow in the forecast. Need some leg work soon lest I have flailing flippers.

[little mermaid]

Good morning, actually did some snow shoveling myself, only 5".  Yesterday, 3.2 mile dog walk, 5.4 mile hike and that 7 minute video.  Probably blew all that good work out the window with hapy hour and dinner after the hike!!

I am sure the dinner and happy hour are a reward, and fuel for the next 5 miles that you do.

NO PROBLEM!!! Keep up the good work and keep shoveling!!!

[Jaque]

Big shoveling day. Two hours today. Whew!

Hard to walk in the rain...but glad you have the bike!
