Hello October and Welcome Everyone to our Fall Exercise Thread.

Bopper, on the other thread, you asked how many applied for the job. They told me they reviewed 90 applications and chose 6 to interview. I'm pleased that I made the interview cut.

Can you please explain this to me? I've not seen a thread like this before.

@3suwm5, hi, nice to see you. We're a bunch of posters who are interested in getting exercise each day (or when we can), and we post what we do to help keep each other motivated. Along the way, we always talk about other stuff, too.

If you're interested, take a look at the September thread, where you can see how our conversations go. Bopper starts a new thread every month so that is doesn't grow int,o a huge size.

We welcome new posters. If this is your thing, we'd love to have you join in. It's a friendly thread, no snarkiness or nastiness found here.

@nomless I do exercise often, so will definitely check it out, thanks so much.

Like you said nomless, it's so hard to get these jobs to begin with. Sure hope something similar comes along.

Still raining here and I'm actually enjoying it. I was up most of the night with hives/welts again...ugh. Could feel it coming, had the bugs crawling under my skin sensation the past few nights pretty bad...that means they're trying to pop out.

We went to Deep Water Horizon yesterday...soooooo good! It's a must see imo...what a nightmare that was. I remember walking/running on the beach in Destin for weeks after and finding oil balls on it.

DH and I did 8 yesterday after I had gone out for a run by myself so had a high mileage day. Met a new friend, we're going to hike/power-walk together sometime in the future. She knows all the trails in the area and has done the 8-mile one to Great Falls and back which dh and I are going to do when it gets cooler and the leaves have changed more. She told me about another one that is along the river and said when it's snowing, it's either so peaceful and you feel like you're in your own world or it can be white-out and you can't barely see the trail...either way, sounds fun! She was out in the rain too and said she goes out in about anything...but ice on these hills can be dangerous.

Welcome 3suwm5! Waving to all!

Pilates reformer, yoga, and weights today...not sure what else.

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm still dealing with the headcold, each day better but the cough lingers,....oh well small potatos compared to what others have going on.

Nomless That was a lot of applicatons, it's great you got interviewed...keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Iluvlucy those trails in winter sound really pretty, I bet you could snow shoe them too. Sorry your dealing with the hives again, has to completely drain you having this happen over and over. Sending positive thoughts!

3suwm5 nice to meet you. Nomless pretty much explained it all, just a nice friendly thread where we talk about our exercise, or strugles with it too Hahha and anything else we have going on. Just visiting with friends.

I did walk Logan on the trail this morning and of course it started to drizzle hard as soon as I got out there, but I kept going , the leaves are still on the trees and were like a roof over me so it worked out.

Hubby is cutting more wood for the winter fires and Logan is barking ( as per usual) Hahah...I have applesauce in my crock pot, and going through some closets trying to put away capri's and summer stuff and bringing out the fall/winter stuff. Hate to even say the word "winter" not ready, it's too long and I"m too old! LOL

Any whoooo have a wonderful rest of your day!

Laura14 — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 18:44:01 GMT

@bopper I hope you are feeling better!! Sick and still working out. You go girl!

@nomless Offer still stands! And if it doesn't work out, remember a library cost me $3000 with their curb. I have no problem burning one down after closing time. You can roast marshmallows and wave to the people who didn't hire you. Guarantee you'll get the next one.

@Iluvlucy Hope you are having a relaxing weekend. You need one!

I am planning to go hike later today. And maybe run up to the mall to get a second pair of glasses since it's pretty much free with the insurance. We'll see.

Have a great Saturday!

(Forgot the month changed so double post)

Happy college game day! Michigan State will play Indiana tonight. They lost two former players last week - a punter and a defensive back - two separate incidents.....very sad. Let's win one for the gipper, boys!

I did Pilates and the rebounder....was motivated by the fact that I haven't worked out since Monday....and that the AC vent was blowing cold air on me - Ha! Gotta get it in gear this week and get back on track. My son had a rough week last week and it was difficult to get workouts in with all the drama.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 20:41:07 GMT

Mick, I hope things get better in DS's life.

Bopper, feel better. Hugs.

Lucy, you have a lot of trails to explore. Lucy will love them. LOL. Do you have a pouch to carry her when she gets tired like the guy in the Amazon commercial? Every time I see that, I think of you.

Hi, Laura. Enjoy your weekend away from work!

I did a super long workout to make up for part of the time I missed this week. Still on track for making it an OK week re: workouts.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

bopper — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 21:47:46 GMT

Hey everyone, Happy Sunday Funday! Well it was a nice day here, mid 60's..watched my Lions/ Tigers/ & Bears Oh MY! Took a short color ride, still not peak here, next weekend should be good and I sure hope it's nice out.

Took Logan on the trail and that's about it, hack, hack, cough, cough....but I"m getting better day by day.

Supposed to be an above normal week for temps this week too, so we'll see. I bet when it changes it will really change. Wedding is getting close!!!! Starting to make my list so I don't forget what to pack.

Enjoy your evening everyone!

I bought a jump rope over the weekend and did my 7 minutes of daily activity that Dr. Oz said to do. I followed it up with some Body Gym and the Lo Bak and stretching as recovery.

I did hike on Saturday and that was the most unpleasant experience I've had in a while. I went around 3:30pm to avoid everyone and there were people aggravating me everywhere! Even up my back when I walked into the wooded trail which is where I go to avoid everyone. I finally got rid of them a little ways in but I don't want to hear about their personal problems in my ear while I am trying to enjoy nature.

Yes, I was in a very selfish mood. Then, with all the squirrels rustling the leaves and reading my sister's new horrow film script the day before, I was a little unsettled when I finally got the woods to myself. Imagine a cat up a tree and that was pretty much me on Saturday.

The post office actually delivered my Amazon order on Sunday. I had no idea they did that! So I get my new phone finally and Tmobile won't let me switch to it without doing a new plan. Say what?

So I am back at work since I might as well with aggravation everywhere, at least here I get paid for it.

Hope everyone is off to a great week!

Hey everyone, It's Monday again! It was a chilly 44 when I got up at 7. I walked about 9:30 and it was up to 47 but it actually felt warmer once I got moving. Then came home, took Logan and started to do more closet arranging. Putting summer stuff away and bringing out the Fall/Winter.

Laura sorry you had a somewhat irritating hike on the trails, I understand the need for quiet and peace. I hope your next adventure there is better for you.

It's so nice right now 66 and sunny. I put the flowers from my planters on the deck into my garden. I usually am able to use some of them again in the Spring, cleaned the rest of the tomatos and peppers off the plants. Some will have to ripen inside as they are still green but I got a lot of peppers and tomatos this summer.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 21:43:19 GMT

Laura, I'm like you...I want quiet during workouts/walks. Your sister writes film Scripts? Fun.

Daisy, good job!

Bopper, oh, dear, now I can't remember what you posted. I hope you're feeling better.

Today, I did my workout, laundry, paid bills (ugh), and some reading. Still no word about the job. I'm surprised a decision is slow in coming. Right now, my cats are trying to tell me it's time for dinner, but they're a little early. They don't want to wait 25 more minutes, but I do.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

Iluvlucy — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 10:21:42 GMT

Was checking in to see if you heard anything yet nomless....hopefully by the end of the week...seems to take longer these days. I have a cat purring in my ear right now.

MickD...how are things this week...hopefully better? I know how you feel...like my gf said when we were walking "You're only as happy as your unhappiest child"...so true. Waiting for ds's biopsy results isn't easy. It's one thing when they're yours or a parents, but your child is a different ballgame.

Laura...that's part of the point to being in the woods - peace and quiet! My good friend that hikes all the time calls it Vitamin N...nature does wonders for the soul. She did some big Alaskan adventures before she moved...climbed a glacier too.

bopper...I just typed a paragraph to you and hit a button and the entire thing disappeared...not sure what I hit when I do that?! At least the entire thing didn't go...grrr. Nice here too, I spent a good portion of the day outside even with the gym and my earrands. Countdown is under way, you're getting close!

Hi Daisy!!

Yesterday was a blur, I went from morning until night. I found the Goodwill for clothes donations I had from cleaning out my closets....they took the other two bin sights away...not sure why. Ran/walked Lucy, hit the gym, ran errands and Marshall's, walked and biked most of the afternoon in between cleaning and laundry, then again last night...Lucy was in heaven.

I saw some improvement yesterday...I held my "camel pose" better than most...both hands too. The pilates was rather challenging! But good, there was a point where she said "30 more seconds" and I had to do some mind over matter to get through it. We held chair pose, into chair pose on your tip-toes, then to 1 leg for a while, then to the other leg for a while, back to regular on your toes for the duration...without any break. I did weights after class and felt like I didn't have to do much as I already had a good leg work-out and could feel it.

HIIT at 8 then not sure. Have a great day everyone!

p.s. I ordered the Echo TSV, a couple of my gf's have it and love it.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:37:35 GMT

@Iluvlucy What Echo TSV? I didn't get that! I want one!! to you and your family

@nomless My sister and my nieces are very involved in the tv/movie production in and around Atlanta. It's become a mini-Hollywood around here. My nieces make almost as much as I do with a full time job every year and they are not even out of elementary school yet. It's enough to make you cry. Actors!

@Daisy Sunflower You go girl!! Walk those legs!

@bopper I really want your weather. I have my new sheets and new sweaters all ready and it's still 80 plus around here.

Did my Pound and Power this morning. Still kept up the weight and I'm rocking it! Made the teacher laugh when she asked me what I thought of the new routine and I told her like it was. Big thumbs down but I'm still showing up and I know she'll stop teaching it in a few weeks and we'll go back to better music and routines.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

bopper — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:39:32 GMT

Hey all, We're on the above normal temps again, but it looks like rain and said it may. Tomorrow and Thursday, Friday too. Tomorrow I may go and watch our Raptor Center release a hawk. Remember when I went to the Snowy Owl one? I love watching those majestic birds. I am thinking I'll cancel my Chiro because if I have to wait there I"ll miss getting home in time. I can walk to where they are releasing it from my house so that's nice. Hoping the rain holds off.

Iluvlucy I am praying DS's results come back alright! So hard waiting and worrying and as much as you try and not woryy and give it to him, you still do. Glad Lucy had fun yesterday being outside and you. Beautiful here too.

Nomless I sure hope by the end of this week you hear something and I hope and pray it's the something you want to hear! Good job on the workouts.

Daisy great job getting those steps in! Who Hooooooooo

Laura agree, the woods is where I find my peace, I don't want to be talking or listening to someone talk.

Guess I better start some laundry, make it a great day!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 19:03:22 GMT

Lucy, you're making good progress with yoga...and so quickly. You're working your already strong muscles in different ways. Nice job.

Bopper, it would be fun to see the release tomorrow. I hope it works out.

Laura, I jad no idea Atlanta is a film center. What fun for those involved. Cool!

I did some cleanong this morning then did an extra long workout. I'm supposed to go put tonight, but it's rainy now (nice) and might be stormy this evening. Haven't decided if I'll go or cancel. Don't want my car to get hailed on.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

nomless — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 23:08:12 GMT

I just got an email telling me I didn't get the job. Oh, darn. I'm really surprised, and yes, I'm disappointed. Oh, well, maybe next time. Thanks for all your good wishes and encouragement the past couple of weeks...much appreciated!
