Your note is so apropos .... another one I will print off and frame for Jack.

I am taking a day off as I have my own Dr visit today. Follow up skin cancer check. Ugh, I am so tired of going to Dr's. Tomorrow Jack has another follow-up from his fall and lost consciousness. Then...it looks like a break until spring. : knock on wood:

Hope everyone has a great day.

This morning I took a 30 minute walk along the water. Saw squirrels scurrying about looking for treats to store for the winter, a goose pecking at the grass for breakast, a white egrit standing on the shoreline basking in the sun, two crows looking for twigs for a nest - guess they couldn't wait until Spring, the crows were also harrassing the goose but guess who won that? I thought c'mon you stupid crows, the goose is a bit bigger than you! Also, saw the prettiest trees all turning bright red, orange, and gold.

I so needed a walk like this today. Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.

Good Morning,

Yesterday I did Love Wins Yoga.

Not sure what I'll be up to today. I'm really tired and it's really unseasonably cold.

We are supposed to warm up tomorrow and the weekend for my hike.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday.

@kate2357 I hear ya about doc appts. and appts. in general. Enough already.!

I had PT appt yesterday - not sure what I am prepping for yet.. my appt ( yup another one)on Mon- should give a diagnosis - should being the key word on my hip/ thigh/ leg.

Pt gal did dry needling again and gave me 2 core exercises to add to my arsenal. I had coffee with a friend after that and halfway thru- I didn't feel good- chills and body aches - then I rememebered the day before I had my covid shot. I would say I had a half day of not feel well. Anyone getting the RSV vaccine.? I got the flu shot a couple of weeks ago.
Fine this morning and actually went to the rec center- so good seeing my friends there. I haven't been all week. Did upper body weights and some track walking. Nothing stellar but glad I went.

Our temps are warming. The sun is coming out.. its a good day!

Good Morning,

Did 45 minutes of biking while watching social shopping and answering work emails. Multitasking at its finest.

I might brave the cold for a walk around the block. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning everyone!

@violet runner - My Dr wants me to get the RSV so will make the appt today. Not sure if my Medicare Part D plan will cover it so will have to see what the Pharmacist says. If it doesn't cover it, I probably won't get it as I hear it is very expensive.

Feeling worn out a bit today so not sure if I'll take a walk or not. Sun is out and it's the last warm day for a while.

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

Good morning, all!

I thought I posted earlier, but apparently not. Had my trainer workout this morning. It was kind of a hard one, but I got through it.

Started working on new choreography last night, it's going to be complicated, so it's a good thing we have a couple of months so I can get it memorized.

@JudyL one of the vaccinations (I think the covid one) was billed at 140 bucks! My insurance paid for it, but that seems ridiculously high. None of my docs recommended the RSV one, but I still need to get the shingles vaccination. I understand the side effects are kind of bad (like what I had with the flu/covid shots), so I have to plan on when I'll get it.

Made my reservations to go visit my mom at Christmas. I was going to drive, but one of the dogsitters became available.

Nothing much going on, so everyone, have a good day.

The park near me as a 1 mile track along the Bay so went there for my walk today. Knees were rebelling the whole way. Took me 25 minutes from the car through the 1 mile track and back but I did it. Now I'm home, have taken some Advil and sitting on my backside waiting for the Advil to kick in.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Hey everyone, I totally forgot to post yesterday, I run 3 FB fitness groups and then this one and some days it's to much!

I did rebounder today with Kettle bells, and a good dog walk.

I hate dr. appointments. Speaking of I had my dental visit yesterday, no cavities! Had her numb by gums first and it made a big difference. I was in and out in under 45 minutes! Wahoo for me!

I've had a nagging headache I think the weather change causes it.

I am glad Halloween is done. We had over 80 kids... I may have said that already, I digress haha.

Have a good rest of the day!

@bopper tell me more about your dentist numbing your gums prior to cleaning. I am intrigued.. Sounds like something I want to ask for. Is it a gel- or actual numbing like novacaine.. Knocking me out for the 30 min sounds even better , but doubt they would do that!! HA!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

@violet runner

I did get RSV on drs suggestion and I did not have any sided effects. My arm did hurt like the dickens for about 36 hours. The shot has more fluid than covid or flu shots. We have appts for flu shots next week.

I had a rest day today due to Dr appts for dh. I am so happy that for next couple of months we only have 1 rehab appt per week and no dr visits scheduled. Which means I can get back on track for running and other exercises.

Good morning, all. Still trying to play catch up at home after being gone a week. Can't find nothing in my kitchen, lol. Men!

After being "force fed" by my southern daughter in law (yeah, I'm blaming her, lol) I'm trying to cut back my portion sizes again. I did a lot of walking yesterday and Wednesday but I just had to stop by Chik Fil A Tuesday on the way from the airport to get their deluxe chicken sandwich and their kale salad. We don't have one conveniently located by our house. Now I'm done.

I read some of the previous posts and the one that stands out is what happened with @kate2357 @and that sister in law from hell. I have no words to convey how bad that was. Hopefully she has apologized.

Can't believe it's Friday but the older you get, the faster time goes, imo. Hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Yes I told her I wanted my gums numbed and she used a swab and went all around my gum line, and I also had Nitros Oxide and that helped too. I think just a gel. Knock me out yes I'm on board haha

Happy Friday! Today was a mild day of rebounder, gently bounding, and Therascoope. Got groceries, and cleaned.

It was sunny but not all clouds and looks like rain. It's 45 out so temp isn't bad.

Not much else here, so kind of laying low today.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

JudyL — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 19:59:41 GMT

Good afternoon. My knees were achy and a bit sore this morning so taking a break from walking. May even wait until Sunday to try walking again. Knees just aren't too happy. LOL

Hope everyone is having a good Friday. Today is about 74 but starting tomorrow temps drop quite a bit.

Take care all!

@Mmsfoxxie

Welcome home. Glad your flights were easier than expected. I've spent the last two months cutting down portion sizes in an effort to lose about 7 lbs. It's been a challenge, but I am down 5 lbs. Jeans are not as tight. I would like to get rid of those last 2 lbs before Thanksgiving, but I don't really 'diet'.

Re my charming sil...nope, has not apologized. My bil asked her to go to counseling and she declined. Right now he is in Seattle and she is at their Colorado condo. I feel bad for my bil....but he knew who she was before they were married.

As for exercise, I was able to get in a nice 60 minute run with my youngest son. I am going to do a bunch of reorganizing in my bathroom and walk-in closet this weekend. I got a wild hair about organizing all of my electronic devices for beauty and health with a charging station that looks less jumbled. Not sure if it will work as I invisioned...but it has to look better than it all looks right now.

I just retired 2 weeks ago and joined the Y. I went 4 days this week and already I'm seeing a difference with movement. Had a knee replacement in March (best thing I ever did) and water exercises have really helped increase my mobility. Been doing the treadmill as a warmup, did a few classes to test them out (the balance and movement class instructor was chaotic in her routine) and tai chi (it was advanced and I was able to keep up with about 3/4 of it since it's been so long. They also have a studio with free weights and some boxing bags so I got back on the bag and it felt so good! ! ! Also found that Silver Sneakers isn't for me (too slow) although I may go back to that and stand in the back vs. sitting.

Next week is busy with some appointments but I'm going to try to get to as many classes as I can. Today is Self-Care Saturday and I'm heading to do a Float (my place has pools, not pods)

Hello @Catbelly . You have a nice variety of exercises. Gosh I have not used a punching bag since my single days. The water exercises sound fabulous.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

kate2357 — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 14:36:25 GMT

Very wet and windy this am, so it was the treadmill for me. Went for an hour, then did some arm and ab work for 30 minutes. Staying indoors today and working on my projects.
