Nice picture. Again I am happy to see you are keeping this great thread going. Many folks need a group to keep them motivated when it comes to exercising regularly, and your group has done exactly that for many years here now.

To everyone here: "keep on keeping on"

@bopper Would you send me FB friend request, I lost all mine when I got my new tablet.

Thank you John, I try!! When I look at my FB it says we are already friends, so not sure why yours is like that. Not sure what to do on my end.

Hi everyone! Just a 45 minute walk today, the 31st.

Had a busy morning...barn, horses, and cleaned both bathrooms.

Weather still great, so i pushed myself out the door to go walk.

Have great friday!!

Well, its game 7 for the world series.. I'll be watching for sure..

I would say we got about 70 plus trick or treaters. Just before 8 I shut my light off- and I have candy leftover.. The kids were very polite.

We have Utube TV and they cancelled ESPN , Disney and our ABC station- negotiations for a new contract didnt' happen.. whcih means no college football on those channels or Monday night football. I can hear the sports Gods screaming now. Lots of people are on Utube TV ( different from UTube) And I would imagine would easily dump them if it comes to that.. it's always about power and money and not consumers.. although the consumers may have the last say on this if they dont' come to terms quickly.

I made the zucchini bread yesterday and then took a nice walk in brisk sunny weather.

Today I have a coffee meet up and am going to make some Mexican cornbread for dinner.. and old recipe I found.

I ordered a jacket from Title Nine- based out of Boulder, CO. I want a jacket I can wear in the house and still pop outside if need be. Not sure this will fit the bill.

This company is all women. And local.. I like that.

Sounds like the boot purchases were a success @bopper and @Laura14 .

Enjoy this Sat.. and we may actually hit 76 tomorrow..the record for Nov 2 is 77.

I'll take it..

Happy November all! 🦃

I got my last Power class in for the week and my challenge is done! 🏋🏻‍♀️

@violet runner I am also on Youtube TV and I am missing my soap! 🤬 Do these people not know I have a GH thread to keep up with here? I hope your jacket works.

My LSU Tigers are in disarray so I thank them for sparing me those games, but I bought a pillow for next season with the QVC sale and free shipping today that I hope will double as a meditation goodie too. It looks perfect for that.

Can you believe my other order actually shipped from the Q? 🎉 I decided to press my luck and go for order number two since I am done with my holiday and birthday shopping. It's all about gifting me. 🎁 Thank you for straightening out the Ontario warehouse @JudyL . Well done.

I spent a lot of time with ChatGPT last night and we did a whole new program with my Mossa streaming classes and hiking with nutrition and hydration schedules. I am excited to get back to some self care and meal prep. I need to switch it up. I have literally been eating toast for a month and sipping protein drinks.

I am going to try some of these bread recipes you all are trying. I am going to make a pot pie with mushroom soup and roasted vegetables and crackers and maybe some homemade bread again. It's a cooking day!

I am also going to try Aldi again at some point. They are literally around the corner and people are raving about them again. I went once when they first opened and did not get it. They supposedly have avocadoes for 55 cents so I may pop over and take a look see.

I have not watched the World Series, but Game Seven? I am so there, girlfriend! I think Fox is still speaking to Youtube. Even though 8pm is my bedtime. 🤣

But, if they have that nonsense pitching graphic, I'm out. I remember one year they did that, and I literally could not watch. I know where the strike zone is and so does @bopper 's son. I wish they would put the games back on radio. Best way ever to listen to a baseball series.

Have a great weekend, all!

Good morning. Cloudy and chilly day here. My heater came on, which I wasn't expecting and at first I couldn't figure out what the "noise" was. LOL

@Dazlin - Had a training session yesterday and my trainer and I decided that the rowing machine is not for me right now. I'm fine with that. She demo'd it for me and I could tell by watching her that that machine will have to wait a while.

Thought I might go to the gym today as my trainer added a couple machines onto my routine and wanted to use them while I still remembered how. LOL However, I'm not so sure thats going to happen. Feeling kinda lazy this morning.

@bopper - Enjoyed watching the game last night. It made it more fun knowing that was your son behind home plate. Will watch again tonight.

@Laura14 - We don't have Aldi out here in CA. Wish we did because I hear so much about it from my East coast friends. Good luck on your adventure into the store.

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Saturday. Feel like with all thats going on, we all could do with some peace and calm and normalcy again.

bopper — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 17:11:01 GMT

Happy November 1st! It's cold here, 42 and I just saw sleet, so 70's sound good @Dazlin ! I hope you enjoy your day!

@violet runner Title Nine Yes! I have ordered from there before but didn't know there was one in Boulder, here we go again enabling... Which jacket is it? Another downfall for me Haha!

@Laura14 I may have to wear the boots soon, it's freezing out. We have an Aldi about an hour from here, not worth the gas to drive an hour, kind of defeats the purpose. We went once and really were not impressed.

My son did a great job we thought and we admit when we think he's missed a call but thank goodness nothing close at the plate last night. I'm glad it is a game 7 though, I get baseball withdrawl. And they are not showing the Lion/Viking game here now because instead they put on their beloved Packers!!!!!!!!

@JudyL glad you found out though that the rower isn't on the agenda right now. Thank you for watching it does seem like it kind of connects us in a way

I save recipes, and then when I go to find them why can't I find them. They are all under "recipes" and I can't find what I"m looking for and of course I already have the ingredients. It was a broccoli and pasta skillet and I can't find it. I bought heavy cream and everything!

Oh I did 30 minutes of rebounder today, and calling it good. Feeling a little stressed today, not sure why it just happens so needed something that doesn't stress my body more than it feels already.

I agree also with @JudyL we all can use some normalcy and peace!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

violet runner — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 18:57:34 GMT

@bopper - the title nine jacket is the sawtooth full zip fleece jacket- $149- in oak moss.

I ordered the half zip with the hood and it came and I thought too heavy although I liked it was longer.. I just knew I wouldn't wear it as much and for the price, I want to wear it frequently... I'll let you know- its pricey , but their stuff lasts.. Sort of like LLBean and the like.

Enjoy the game tonight.. @bopper Your son did great last night!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Dazlin — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 19:25:25 GMT

Hi everyone!! No walk for me today...went out early on errands, I took my time, didn't need much so it was actually pleasant.

Had to pick up refill med for my ears...really not liking the side effects and no help as of yet. At least my weight stayed the same 🙄 it can cause weight gain. Been having alot of body aches, so i may see about taking a break if it continues and see if it's actually from the meds.

I bought cushion memory soles for my sneakers ...will see how that feels. Last night I literally couldn't sleep...my feet felt on fire and aching...weird.

@bopper , i watched some of game last night...it was a pleasure to see your son! Looks tall and slender 😍. Will he umpire throughout the world series games, and how bout tonight??

Ohhh...@bopper...about you friending on FB...have you tried unfriending him...and then go back and friend him again...maybe it's locked in his old tablet/computer and now he's got a new one...??

Im not on FB. i went off years ago...but just a thought.

@JudyL ...sounds like a smart move about the rower...you dont need it anyway...its a good exercise for the upper back and lats...you really do have to be careful on it. I popped something very very painful and it set me back several weeks....I couldn't even put socks on. I wound up with a chiropractor for several visits. I was only im late 30's early 40 ish..doesn't matter....one wrong move, it's over. But i was going really heavy on the weights. Maybe you'll attempt the pull down again ( lat machine)...that'll get that muscle group.

Still great weather here, was 49 this morning, very unusual, but we're up in 70' s again, verrrrry strong warm sun.

Having to take extra care of Breezie AGAIN...shes been very sore, lame. Doing her feet and giving her extra stall rest. I put her on anti inflammatory pain med...I hate seeing her like this. Having to be extra careful working on her too...she's trying to kick.

I really dont need this 🤬.

@violet runner ...im going to make pumpkin bread again tomorrow...ill add walnuts.

I bought chocolate chips too...idk if I should add them....what do you think??

I know they'd be great with banana bread....not sure for pumpkin??

Alrighty everyone....gotta go back out and let the horses out...surely they left a good size package for me to muck too....😑

Have a great Saturday night!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

violet runner — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:24:39 GMT

@Dazlin Yes, add choc chips to your pumpkin bread.. or chopped up cranberries.

I dont' add nuts cause my GS is allergic to most..- just easier in case he comes by --

Well, The Dodgers are the champs. I used up my extra hour of sleep watching the game. It was a good one.. And I bet a hard one to lose - the Jays played hard..

Now today its football and my Utube TV won't come into question until tomorrow's game which I hope negotiations are relsoved. Corporate greed!!

I am going to walk this morning and meet a friend for coffee.. that'll pretty much be my exercise for the day.. and the weather is supposed to be nice.

Son and GS mght some for early dinner.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Laura14 — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 15:33:58 GMT

Happy Sunday! I am starting this month over today.

I did R30 this morning while watching Rick and the KA lady make frosting and cookies in the mixer. 🤣

That is a thirty minute ride class. I haven't done one in ages, but I am trying to switch it up with my new ChatGPT program so I can have more free time during the week and results.

I got invited to NYC for a couple days in early December or thought I did. I am not comfortable traveling while the people charged with my safety are not getting paid so that was a no from me, dog. Turns out they just wanted a double occupancy anyway and not really my company so I am saving the money I don't have to spend.

Have a busy week ahead with the day job and some personal stuff so I will try and relax the rest of the day and not buy anything with free ship. Just say no... 🤣📦📦

Hopefully Youtube and ABC find their minds again @violet runner . My Eagles are playing next Monday night and then Sunday night after that. I never get to watch them and now I have two national ABC broadcasts. Mickey Mouse is rich enough!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend all. 👋

So happy for the time change! We are morning walkers and have really missed just doing our afternoon walks. My dh and I continue to walk an average of 7 miles per day. Mornings and late afternoon. Keeps us thin and really controls my blood sugar!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

bopper — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:49:09 GMT

Happy Sunday! Yes the season has ended. My opinion was the Jays had Grit!! The Dodgers had pitching! Great series!

Today was 40 minutes with Earth and Owl rebounding, and a cool down of 15 on the vibration plate.

@ID2 you and your husband are impressive. That's great walking!! I sure noticed it lighter today. Are you in Michigan?

My Lions are not on our cable, so dumb, our local channel decided to air the beloved Packers based out of WI, instead of the Lions in our own MI! Yes I'm ticked!

Is anyone doing a November daily challenge? Just curious!

Enjoy your day, it's cold and windy here!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Dazlin — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:58:37 GMT

Hi everyone, beautiful Sunday!!

Another gorgeous day here!.

Trying not to over do it today, C'mon it's Sunday.

Couple loads of laundry and @violet runner , I made the pumpkin bread this morning. I love it in the bundt pan.

I added the dark chocolate chips, YUM...every now and then I get a chip, so delicious. I added walnuts and raisins too. I rehydrate the raisins in a splash of spiced rum, then in they go. Just had a piece with yogurt butter...very delish. Will do cranberries next time.

I watched the game last night up until I think 7th inning....what an exciting game, especially that last inning. I watched it this morning on my sports channel...think it went to 11 innings.

@bopper ...I was looking for your son...line-up said he was out in right field??.

BTW, your right about the repetitive squats at home plate LOL...that umpire is 6'8", so he surely had to deep squat every pitch coming in. I wonder if they get sore...muscle burn out. Sure they're used to it though. Funny, I never realized how many squats they do until you mentioned it 😆.

Have a wonderful Sunday to all...🌞

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Dazlin — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 18:06:41 GMT

@ID2 ...I love the fall back too. I'm a morning girl, love getting up early and getting things done before noon.

Great walks for you, 7 miles...wow! I wish I could push myself to get up there...2-3 miles is usually it for me, rarely 4 miles. My brain starts complaining...im bored, how much more...are we there yet!!??

Impressed you say it keeps you thin....my walks have not helped lose a penny.

Maybe...I should I try longer...🤷‍♀️

What about your pace....brisk, or casual??

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

JudyL — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 22:27:14 GMT

Hi Everyone! A beautiful day here in the city by the bay. Watching football - my Niners won! YEA!

The extent of my exercise today was ordering 2 exercise tops from Amazon. HAHA Tomorrow though is an exercise day - gym & class workout. We'll see how much I do.

Today I'm doing laundry and putzing around the house while I have football on the TV.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Good Morning, all.

I have started my Power challenge for the week and completed my first class this morning. I am not sure if I will hike today. Probably not. I am mixing things up.

Off to the day job. Hope everyone has a nice week.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

JudyL — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 15:52:14 GMT

@Laura14 - you are my inspiration this morning. Would rather stay in my jammies and be lazy but will push myself to get to the gym. Ok, getting off the couch now. Well, maybe in a minute......

Re: WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER EXERCISE THREAD

Dazlin — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 18:36:48 GMT

Hi all...usual chores here and took care of the barn /stalls, etc.

Pushed myself to get a walk in after that...

55 minutes walk.

Ran 1 quick errand to the store .

Hope everyone has a great day.🌞
