Happy October...love those pictures and that little peepee puppy, Bopper. Bought some New Balance shoes and took Angie for a walk. I think they'll have to go back,my feet hurt. Pay ALOT of money to have my feet hurt grrrrrrr. Maybe I should give them another day.

Nomless,my Granddaughter also looked at Washington U. She said the campus was gorgeous. They offered her a nice scholarship too.

Weather here is perfect for me. 60's and breezy. Love it. I hope everyone is safe from that storm coming to the East Coast.

OMG skylark I didn't realize the puppy was peeing.......... Yikes............

I walked 5 miles this morning and it was chilly. Bird bath frozen solid this morning. I had to wear a fleece headband and gloves this morning but I enjoyed it a lot.

Hope that puppy picture doesn't offend anyone, I honestly didn't notice he was going to the bathroom....yee gads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I saw the puppy pee I thought that was your opinion of October.

nomless — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 22:39:26 GMT

LOL, Bopper. I laughed at the puppy.

I didn't do a workout today,. Instead, I saw De Niro in "The Intern." Cute movie, fun afternoon.

Although I have a new set of Malden Mills sheets, I ordered the TSV sheets. I've had Malden Mills before and they pilled. Before I bought the new set, I looked for sheets in other fabric that was cozy but might not pill. I couldn't find an alternative to fleece or flannel at the time. When I saw today's sheets, I decided they're worth a try....it sure looks like they're pill-proof. We'll see.

I have a job interview tomorrow, but I'm not sure it's one I want. I decided to talk to them, though. When a door opens, I might as well check it out.

Hi everyone. I have today off. I'm going to run some errands and plan on getting in a walk this evening. It's super windy today.

Bopper - Thank you for the great pictures. I never would have noticed what the puppy was up to! Winter is fast approaching -- ugh.

Skylark - I have some New Balance shoes and they are very comfortable. They really didn't require any break in at all, so what you are experiencing now is probably how they will stay. Mine are rounded in the toe area - styles that have more of a pointed toe do hurt my feet.

Nomless - I bought the TSV sheets too! I have the Polarfleece sheets that were a TSV a while back. Mine did pill, but I may have used too much heat on them. They say to wash them in cold water, but I just feel better using at least warm water when I wash the sheets. I'm going to follow the rules with these though!

Happy Friday everyone, it's chilly here again but sunny. Today was a strength day so I warmed up on the bike and then did lower body and abs with some arms on my TG. Just took a trail walk with Logan too.

I have 3 sets of the polar fleece, none of mine have pilled....I wanted those Berkshire but I didn't need more sheets so refrained.

I also need new walking shoes so I supposed I should to the practical thing and get some haha...

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!

Hi Everyone! I just wrote a long hi to all and it disappeared so the condensed version is:

Bopper- your pictures look like my backyard! Went to NH NASCAR last week- so sad Tony is retiring. He was gonna do it now but saw how Jeff Gordon did his last year for fans so he is doing that- I am so glad!

Nomless- I hope your interview went well. Good going on chalean- wish she did another round!

Cater- Hi!

Skylark- sounds like you had a nice trip and visit.

WMN- I have NB too, i have walkers-I like them better than rykas and asics but have not found the best sneaker yet!

I have been doing chalean but following the book while watching tv. Not as good as doing the DVD but for me this is progress!

Yes to soup season! Nomless, let me know if the book is worth buying. I have been making lots of apple Betty, too. Way too easy to make and then eat!!

Have a great weekend- the hurricane is turning right so less rain predicted which is Ok with me!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Sat, 03 Oct 2015 20:43:52 GMT

Cardio done. Blah...I wasn't into it so I went slow and called it a day. Better than nothing.

I wonder why the MM fleece sheets pill for some but not others. FWIW, I wash them in cold, dry with air only, no additives used in wash, and I don't use anything in the dryer. I hope I have better luck with the furry sheets. WMN, we'll have to compare notes.

Tony, I didn't know there was a Chalean book. I'd probably just look at it and not do it, lol.

The cookbook I got is BHG Ultimaye Soups and Stews. I have aeveral on the Ultimaye series and like them . I found a "like new" copy on Amazon market place for 79 cents or so so with shipping, it was about $5. Worth a try. I haven't had much time to look at it yet.

The interview went ok, I think, but I'm not sure I want the job. We'll see.

I need to go do some cleaning. Better get at it. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

bopper — Sat, 03 Oct 2015 23:18:09 GMT

Hi, I didn't do much of a formal workout either, wasn't into it either. My GD is here with me so we just took a trail walk, watched some funny movies and baked cookies...now doesn't that sound fun ?

It's cold here and partly cloudy. I don't like the darkness so early and also dark in the morning now. Not a fan!

Tony I saw that Tony was retiring, so you went to the race?

Nomless Soup is such a easy thing to prepare and then you have it for a few days or freeze it. Love soup here, I usually don't follow a recipe, just throw in whateve I have but I'm sure there are many soups I wouldn't have a clue how to make without a recipe.

I liked the TSV but don't need it and wasn't sure anyone I knew would get use out of it so passed.

Watching baseball now, have a nice evening!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

MoJoV — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 13:25:29 GMT

Bopper, your day with your Granddaughter sounds perfect. My 9 year old GD lives 300 miles away..sigh.

It's dark and windy here again today but I like a day like this sometimes. Fits my mood sometimes.

I guess I'll do a TV walk and walk Angie this afternoon. Believe it or not she still has a little skunk aroma to her. It's around her face where I can't put all the soap and vinegar. Daisy is fresh as a ....well, Daisy lol. I don't think her face was skunked.

Everyone have a nice relaxing Sunday.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 21:04:15 GMT

Skylark, that skunk aroma is stubborn. My goodness.

I didn't do anything yesterday, but today I did ChaLean Burn 1. This is the 4th day I've done it, and it's already easier.

It's a cloudy day today in the 60s. I've been having trouble sleeping due to the night time temps....too cold for a sheet only, but too warm to use a blanket. I spend most of the night grabbing a blanket, thn throwing it off me. Crazy.

Wish I had more news but I don't. Things are pretty quiet around here.

Hi Everyone!

Just checking in-

Bopper- I'm not liking this dark either! I leave for work in the dark 5:30 and get home in the dark 8:30. I feel like I have lost the whole day. I worked this past weekend, it wasn't awful but not great either. Yes I went to Loudon. can be a boring race cos of the track but you cant beat seeing it and hearing it live. No earplugs allowed!!

Nomless-I was using the book that came with the DVDs. It pretty much follows each DVD but does not have the warm-up, cool- down or the 3 extreme exercises at the end of each exercise. As long as I can count to 12, I am good! It will be interesting to see what comes of your interview.

Skylark- nothing like a great perfume!

Well, t's been cool here- 42 when I went to work yesterday and 46 when I got out. 50's today but they say warm- up to 70's is coming. I am waiting!

Did chalean book while watching GMA this morning. caught up on my newspapers and did laundry. I miss my coffee and Sunday paper when I work so I do it on Monday.

Have a great Tuesday !

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

bopper — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 14:51:41 GMT

Hi all, I forgot to post yesterday, I did 25 miles on my Xbike and some rebounding and a trail walk with my son and Logan...

I just finished a walk outside and some Total Gym,,,going to be helping my son pack for his move.... Mama is sad about him moving but it's the next step in his young life!

Tony it was super dark here yet at 8 am this morning, clouds and looks like rain. You work long hours,,,

skylark Logan almost got sprayed by a skunk...no thank you !

Nomless not much news here either, which isn't a bad thing either. Leaves are going to be at peak color this weekend so will probably take a ride on Sunday to see some waterfalls and leaves.

Have a good day everyone!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:45:26 GMT

Bopper, about your autumn weather - here, the leaves haven't started changing yet, and you're at the peak! My, another reminder that you live way up north! Is DS moving far away? The baseball son or the Olivia son?

Tony, oh, that book. What a great idea to use it as a sub for the DVD. Yes, it must be difficult working dark to dark. Sort of like living in a tunnel.

I did 45 min of cardio. I have another foot problem, ugh. It hurts on top, like there's a bone or ligament or something out of place. I don't know how it happened. I hope it goes away as a quickly as it came.

WMN, how is this week going?

Hi to Skylark and Cater and all our friends.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

MoJoV — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 01:59:06 GMT

Hi everyone. Didn't do anything today except rake sticks that fell all over yard from tremendous winds last few days. Seems the freezer part of my fridge isn't working..ugh. Always something. Got a guy coming tomorrow,called Sears..2 weeks! Ha,they're nuts I can't wait that long.

The meditation center where I go started a walking club. I went to that yesterday,did a mile. Then did 2 more with DH when I came home.

Tony nice to see your post...working dark to dark not fun. But those bills don't care about that,do they?lol

Nomless,hope your foot is feeling better. It's nutty the way pains just pop up.

Bopper so glad Logan missed the skunking. How far is your son moving?

WMN hope you're doing well. Gonna end this BOOK now.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

bopper — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 19:25:25 GMT

Hey all, it's a gloomy and rainy Thursday here. I did the bike and some rebounding amongst cleaning and vacuuming and helping my son ( baseball son) pack up. He's going to be about a 20 hour drive from here so not to doable for us anyways.

I'm watching the baseball playoffs, Tony are you watching?

I'm glad Logan didnt' get skunked too, can't even imagine. He was just groomed yesterday and is quite handsome I must say. The lady said he has SO much fur come off.

Not much going on other than that, which isn't a bad thing either.

enjoy the day!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:03:28 GMT

AC is back on today. Ugh. It's hot and humid.

Cubs WIN!! Woo-hoo! What a great season, a huge turn-around from last year.

I didn't do anything yesterday, thinking it best to rest my foot. It's a little better today.

Today I did ChaLean Burn 2. Nice workout.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

tony14smoke — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:07:27 GMT

Hi Everyone!

Bopper- it must be hard to have your son move. Sending you a hug. It's part of the mom job, tough as it is. How about 2 hugs? Yup watching baseball!

Nomless- hot and humid? I am in a sweatshirt and had an extra blanket on the bed! I m glad for your Cubs- hopefully their turn, like the Red Sox! The top of foot pain can be a tendinitis - be careful, take it easy.

Skylark- you are right about those bills! I hope your freezer is fixable Did laundry
