Good Morning Everyone, I hope you all find the July thread now, it's so hard to believe we are in July already when I was just hoping April would come!

Its a cool 54 here right now, said highs about 66 so that's about perfect for me. Weekend is showing 80 though so may be a warm one for the 4th but where I come from when it's cold so long I think I can take it!

Not sure what I'll do today, maybe bike, it's looking not too windy but will check a little later in the morning after I have another cup of coffee hahaha

Laura car repairs are the worst, seems one of ours is always needing something. I walked quite a bit in the last week, yesterday as I said my friend and I got caught in the down pour but we won't melt, and a warm rain so no big deal.

Love seeing the new posters, please post and tell us your exercise and what you enjoy doing.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Forgot we switched months so I'm moving it over!

@Iluvlucy I hope you feel better!

Well, I hiked it to work this morning and apparently I climbed 26 stairs according to Fitbit. Actually I only climbed one set but the hills count as a lot more. This is going to be so much fun for the next two weeks. I am an idiot.

I can get a rental under my insurance but it's only 80% coverage and I just don't want any more bills right now. I stupidly decided to book a plane ticket instead of drive to Iowa a few weeks ago so now I have to go on that vacation which I know I will enjoy once I get there but that hotel money is now my deductible.

I'm perfecting my favorite Oliver Twist impression since I'll arrive with literally no spending money. My poor rainy day savings account is beginning to look like the Sahara and my credit card is giving me nasty looks. All this because I borrowed and returned self help and life improvement books from the library. It it wasn't so ironically funny, I'd cry.

Have a great holiday everyone!

@Laura14, your post made me laugh...the way you wrote it, that is. I sympathize with your having an unexpected bill that's messing with your plans. I would feel like crying, too. Hang in there, and enjoy your long weekend.

Bopper, have a fun weekend. Your weather is terrific. Any progress with the dress and shoes?

Lucy, I hope your plans don't get messed up too badly. Your DS doesn't quit, does he? He's not letting anything keep him from working toward his goals. I hope Lucy is OK.

I did errands this morning, and cardio and weights this afternoon. Weights were kind of hard, telling me I need to be more consistent with my lifting. OK, I got the message, LOL.

I am one of those who do not enjoy exercise, but I need to get back into doing it. I love recumbant bikes but don't have one but had used one at a local senior citizen center. I have a mini-elliptical at home but what seems to work best for me is just walking. I'm one of those who starts things on a Sunday so tomorrow I will get back into the routine. I got out of it when I had a cardiac ablation done. Habits are easily broken especially if not enjoyable.

Got my food shopping and exercise done this morning. Went back to college and my NYC roots and walked over a mile to the store. Loaded the roller bag and walked over a mile back.

And when I find the Nazi who runs the sprinklers during the day, I'm hosing him down too.

Oh and another chuckle for you about my life: I get the mail on the way back and my car is now under recall. No fix yet but when they have it, they'll fix it for me free of charge.

I need the Star Trek transporter available like now, scientist people! It's a good thing Henry Ford is gone cause I'd sucker punch him over this whole automobile thing. Time to relive my kickboxing days.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and @KonaKat, you go girl! Welcome back to walking. You have a virtual partner hoofing it too. 😄

Happy Sunday Funday everyone,

Welcome to the new posters too and of course I can't remember who and this forum I can't look back, well I guess there is away but I forgot. Anyway to it starts with a "K".. hahah I have a Proform recumbant bike and I really like it, but I also love to walk and walking is very good for you and can do it just about anywhere, just good shoes and sunscreen and your all set!

Laura your cracking me up, the Nazi sprinkler guy hahaha..too funny! Oh boy car stuff, I can relate!

Hubby and I took out bikes to the Heritage Trail today. Only thing is it's all up hill and I mean all up hill! It goes on and on. I call it a gradual hill but there were some steep places. I would have continued but hubby wanted to turn around. It was his first time out this year and he gets a sore behind and his hands also fall asleep, they always have so he has to shake them out as he rides. We went about 10 miles I guess. It's really nice here about 79. My son and his 2 girls are coming for a cook out. My DIL is working.

I am watching baseball now, then will get together our grilling stuff.

Hoping everyone is having a nice Holiday weekend.

Hi, @KonaKat. I hate exercise, too! But I know I hav3vto do it, so (most) days, I treat it as a job...just one of those things I have to do. Welcome to our group.

Laura, enjoy your day. Don't think about your car.

Bopper, you had a good bike ride. You earned the family cook-out. Have fun.

I did cardio and weights today. Haven't done some reading today, just hanging out.

My lawn is a jungle so I will be walking behind the mower and trimmer today for my Independence workout.

Hope you all have more fun!

One mile of Leslie is done; it is a start. The rains have begun again, just what we need in our flood recovery efforts in WV.

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 16:36:59 GMT

@KonaKat More than a start. Good for you! And we'll take the rain down South. We need some.

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Thread

nomless — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 22:19:03 GMT

@KonaKat, Leslie is fun. She makes the time go by fast. I'm so sorry about the WV flooding. That was seriously bad. I hope you're doing ok in your area.

Laura, I hope you're enjoying your long weekend.

Bopper, how was your cook-out yesterday?

I did my workout today. Yea! I thought seriously about taking the day off, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:32:42 GMT

Did my 1.6 mile hike to work in 80 degree heat. It's good we have a locker room here. And I guess the Nazi heard me because the sprinklers were on the other side of the road this morning. Good job!

I will be doing my 1.6 mile hike back at 5pm. I can tell by the end of the week I may be that guy in the desert crawling on the sidewalk and begging for agua. And I'll bet there won't be one darn sprinkler turned on either. Loving my life right now!!

Hoep everyone had a great Fourth.

@Laura14, at least you have the luxury of getting a workout in during the course of your normal day. Sounds good, right? I bet it feels terrible.

Just got back from my derm appt. for a routine annual check...that I haven't done for 2 years. I had identified about 6 spots for him to look at, including a little red area I first noticed on my nose a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might be the beginning of a blemish. It was the spot I was least concerned about, and by golly, it was the only spot that was precancerous. He did the freezing thing and said it will be fine. But that's a lesson to all. Body checks are important, and don't ignore those little spots that you think are no big deal. They might be something that need attention, and it is no big deal if you deal with them early on.

I'll go do my workout soon, I promise!

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 16:31:06 GMT

@nomless So glad you're fine! I have never had a skin check done. Since I spent my childhood on the Jersey shore, probably a good thing to start doing. And as for your workout, I walked 10,000 miles by noon yesterday just by mowing the lawn and baking bread so don't underestimate regular errands and housework. It all counts!

Hi, the 4th has come and gone....It was very enjoyable here, weather was darn near perfect. We went to our parade, My GD had a bake sale there and made 16$ so she was a happy camper, my new little 5 month old GD was all dressed up in her red, white, and blue Then we also took my 88 year old dad to a band concert at the harbor where they played all patriotic music and played all the Military songs and when your branch of service was playing, you stood up. It was quite moving! My dad is an Army veteran.

nomless so happy you will be alright!

Laura our grass is almost at the point of needing to be mowed again too.

KonaKat I love Leslie and she is an excellent place to start. I walked this morning before it got too hot out, it's quite muggy too. Our weather is usually on the chilly side. Sorry about your rain, we are in the very dry stage again here.

Waving to everyone!
