Morning, I'll be first today! Just got home from getting groceries and some other errands...put it all away and will head outside with Logan while it isn't raining..it's warmer than yesterday about 55 outside...

Hoping everyone's first day of October is off to a good start!

Bopper, thanks for the recipe! I'll definitely try it! I'm going to try to do the treadmill or Pilates in a little bit. Hubby and I have a dinner to go to tonight, and I'm going to rest for a little bit. I'm exhausted today! I'm sure the pups will be happy to snuggle up with mama. Lol! <3. Tomorrow is spin, work, and a hair appt. have a great day, all!!

Hi, Bopper and Future. Happy October! Oh, my, where has this year gone????? I can't believe it's October already.

Bopper, did you and Logan have fun outside? 55 is a nice temp. Here it's still quite warm, and I'm not sleeping well because the bedroom is warm. I open my windows at night, but it hasn't gotten cool enough during the night to make much of a difference. Daytime temps have been in the 80's, with night-time temps near 60 or so.

Future, did you get a nap in today with the pups? LOL. Enjoy your dinner.

H, Patty, I hope your leak isn't causing chaos in your life. Best wishes the DS is doing OK and that Lucy continues to enjoy bike riding with you, along with the running, of course.

Tonight I'll do cardio. My foot has finally stopped hurting, so it won't be bothering me. I'll try to work hard and look snappy---even though I don't feel that way, LOL!

I'll be home tomorrow through Monday on a mini-vacation. I'm looking forward to it a lot. I have few definite plans, but lots of little projects I hope to do....like organizing a closet shelf that's a mess.

Have a good evening, everyone.

I'm on vacation today. Sooooo nice! First project: I took the beaded fruit out of my display jar and filled it with Halloween things.....mini faux glitter pumpkins and a black cat. So cute. What a fun, easy way to give a nod to the season without fuss or muss or overdoing it.

Hi all, I did my KCM Lift2 Be Fit chest and back today...For the rows because it seems to irritate my back I used the TG and when she did her 8 reps I cranked up the level and did it on the TG. It worked great...added in the Bonus Waistline at the end too...good workout.

nomless I am sooooooooooo happy you are on vacation...Hooray...isn't it great not having to be somewhere? Now you can play your jar sounds cute...so fun to be able to change it out as the seasons change too...Do you have a Kirklands near you? We don't but I like that store...I have orange lights in my Bay window and around my front door inside and my lanterns and pumpkins around...I am glad I got the Tiffany Pumpkin lamp when they first had it. I have had it for years and I love it! Have one of Valeries small pumpkin lamps too...Have fun today!

Pppmint missing you,,,you can stop in to say Hi you know We need our Lucy stories. Hope your foot isn't bothering you..

Tony you have been MIA, hope everything is alright

FUTURE did you make the oatmeal? It made enough for 3 breakfasts for me...How was your dinner?

Will take Logan to the trail after my soap Y&R. Anyone watch?

Have a great rest of the day!

Bopper, I bet your pumpkins look festive. There's a Kirkand's near where I work, but I haven't gone in. I didn't know what it is and the windows are all black with no displays in them. I had no idea what kind of store it is. Now that I know, I'll check it out. Good job using TG for some of KCM. Good idea! I did cardio. It's nice to have it out of the way. BL tonight.

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

Trail run..don't know how long 25 minutes??

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

bopper — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 15:46:08 GMT

Morning, raining here and even heard the "S" word in the Forecast!

Did the treadmill for 3 miles this morning doing intervals of hills, running, and walking...then some Pilates to stretch out...

nomless that's cool you can actually dictate your posts,,,technology....wow! Yes I like my pumpkins...love fall. Our leaves are almost down already...seemed one week they were peak color and the next they were falling. Unusual for them to fall already..

MickD good job on the trail run...nice to see you again too! Don't be a stranger!

FUTURE do you have weekend plans?

Ppmint hope you come back soon, we miss your posts...and funny stories about Lucy...hope all is going well for DS and yourself....

Okie dokie everyone have a good rest of your day!

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

MickD — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 21:36:56 GMT

Did 20 ish or so minutes on the trail....very hot. I was talking to my sis during my run (she lives in Alexandria, VA) she had the heater on in her car.....I was like ..come on! It's an oven here...that comment almost killed me. Have a great weekend all!

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

bopper — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 14:58:47 GMT

Morning, very chilly here and wet..about 44 degrees...could have snow tonight mixed with rain...

MickD sorry you are so hot....glad you are enjoying your trail runs..I love trails too.

My friend yesterday was walking a 2 rut road bird hunting and 2 wolves were following him. One on each side of the road...he was very afraid but he kept walking until he reached his truck...then fired into the air with his rifle and they ran off. It is illegal here to shoot wolves unless they are attacking your dog your children or family members or farm animals...but how frightening...they are starting to get very close to neighborhoods now too..it is really a problem.

nomless are you enjoying your vacation...I know you are....just chill out and read a book, snuggle up on the sofa with a soft fluffy through and your kitty..

Thinking of everyone wherever you are!

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

nomless — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 17:54:22 GMT

I was busy yesterday and didn't get a workout in. Oh, well. I'll try to do better today.

Mick, I was wondering if your weather was still hot. Here, it's cool, but not as cold as what Bopper is getting. I have a feeling we're not going to see much autumn here. The trees haven't started changing color yet, but they're losing their leaves. Strange.

Bopper, that's scary about the wolves. And bears. And who knows what other creatures you have there. Maybe for the time being you need to be cautious about walking the trail. Not sure I'd have courage to do it. Please be careful when you're out and about.

Hi to Patty. Hope you and DH and Lucy are having some fun and that DS is doing OK.

Hi to Future. Have a good weekend.

Tony, hope you're doing good, too.

Cater, hi! A big wave to you, too.

And Judy...check in and let us know how you're doing.

SFGirl, how are you doing with your races. Hope you're having fun.

Oh, dear, I'm sure I'm forgetting some....sorry....lots of good wishes to all.

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

FUTURE — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 18:26:50 GMT

Hi, all! It was a busy week. Went to the gym this am. Lifted really quick then spin. Ran to the grocery store afterwards, and I'm going to just chill the rest of the day. Hubby is watching football, of course. It's finally a little chilly here, so that's nice. But it's supposed to be back up to 90* in a few days. Booooooooo. Ok, I'm going to do a little laundry, and then back to leading and catching up on some TV!

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

nomless — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 20:21:12 GMT

50 min cardio done. I worked hard and it felt pretty easy. Being more rested sure makes a difference. When I'm tired, I feel like I'm slogging through mud even when I'm going slow.

bopper — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 22:05:53 GMT

Happy Sunday funday! Nothing much here except Lions football ( lost) and Tigers are on now. Chilly and 44 here and gloomy....

Did some yard clean up today in preparation of Winter..but not much to speak of.

Hoping the week will at least bring some sunshine....

Have a good night!

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

nomless — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 23:40:29 GMT

Hi, Bopper. Go Tigers! I've had a lazy day, too. I didn't do a workout. I did some cooking... turkey enchiladas. Flavor is ok, but the filling is too dry. Next time, I'll add some of the sauce that goes on top to the filling to make it more moist.

They trimmed a tree outside my window, and I wish they hadn't. It was so thick before, I couldn't see the street. It felt like I was in a forest, and I liked that. They trimmed it high, so now I can hardly see the tree, only the trunk. There's also a gorgeous fir tree outside another window, and it seems to have dead branches, so it might need to be trimmed next spring. I'm sad....I hope they won't have to take out the whole tree. One of the things I like best about my apt. is all the trees. I'd be sad to lose them.

Oh, when I was cooking, I put my thumb on the burner and burned it. Ouch. I was wiping a spill while the burner was on. Duh. How stupid is that? LOL

Patty, I hope you're enjoying your break, but I miss you. Come back soon. Good wishes to ds. I hope work is going ok for dh. I hope he's not affected by all that's going on.

Future, Tony, etc., I hope you're having a good Sunday.

Hey all, the sun has finally shown up here..It was 33 here when I got up but I love seeing the sun. I walked 4 miles outside just to get the fresh air and clear my head....heard roosters and a donkey! It was nice..

Making more applesauce this afternoon to freeze....everyone loves it so I don't mind making it. Will take Logan out on the trail after too.

Nomless sorry they trimmed so much of that tree....I love the trees and when they are outside your window you can imagine you are in the woods..I hope they don't trim the other one way back...sorry about your thumb ouch....I"ve done that before too!

Cater are you still with us...come visit

FUTURE hope your weekend was a good one and you got in some naps and walks with the pups.

Tony where have you been?

Judy are you here with us?

MickD hoping you can hit the trail today..and it isn't too hot for you.

Ppmint miss you and Lucy. Hoping DS is doing Okay and DH's job is going well for him. How is your foot doing?

Waving to all our friends here and far!

nomless — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 18:16:16 GMT

I was 20 min into my cardio workout when the weird guy came I . He sometimes comes in and just watches everyone. Creepy. So I felt. He often is there when I workout after work, so I was surprised to see him there during the day. Does he watch for my car?? I don't know, but I don't want to be anywhere near him. Maybe later I'll go back and do more.

Re: Welcome to The October Exercise Thread

nomless — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 12:17:03 GMT

Patty, it's 6:11 AM, and I'm missing reading a Lucy story with my morning coffee.

I hope all is well and that life calms down so you can come back soon. Miss you.
