Happy Wednesday! I had a full day conquering my workouts today. 45 minutes spin, 20 minutes weights, and 15 minutes stretching and meditation on the Vibration plate. I am going to bring in 70 strong!

I hope those of you in the paths of storms stay safe. We are supposed to get another ice storm, not as bad as the one over the weekend though.

I just made a grilled tuna sandwich, so got my protein in after my workout, it is actually good. I wasn't sure grilling tuna but hey I usually work out of the box! haha

Have a safe and happy day! Be the light!

Hello, today is done and dusted. 3 mile walk on the treadmill and 20 minutes Strength Lower body and it was hard!! Had to take a couple breaks in between sets.

Just had my lunch, trying hard to keep the protein intake higher these days.

Not snowing but very windy and of course it's trash day, my bin is tipped over outside but unless it opens I'm not going out to get it haha

Will have my Granddaughter at 3 for a few hours. Since the Mackinaw Bridge was closed the place my son works didn't get trucks in to deliver their products so now he has to go to work late today, to get deliveries out.

Hoping everyone is safe in the paths of these storms.

My exercise for the day? Bought 2 pair of Brooks shoes that were on sale. They should be here on Saturday. Last year, my DD and Kate who used to post on this board, told me about Brooks shoes. Bought a pair and loved them so went back and bought another pair. Amazon has the Ghost 16 on sale so bought 2 more. I'm now set for a while.

It's a beautiful day here so may get out for a walk later.

@JudyL congrats on new shoes! With the tariffs a reality now- good to buy them before the cost goes up. I am thinking of buying a pr of HOKAs just to have on hand.. They are already expensive- can't imagine the price higher..But I do love my shoes!! I may look at Brooks too- I had a pr. once and liked them. I did buy the recent Vionics TSV in black. I got last year's version and really liked them.

As for capris- not having much luck in that dept. In fact ., taking a pr to Whole Foods this morning to return to Amazon.

We had some spitting snow as I call it last evening. Nothing stuck- My friend and i did get out for a walk as the clouds came in and wind picked up- still was decent enough out.

That and my rec center workout was my exercise yesterday.

Have a good Friday..

@bopper hope you had a good time with your granddaughter.

Happy Friday everyone...@bopper, I admire your 3 mile walk, and for sure lower body strength is tougher, but it's going to pay off! GOOD FOR YOU!! I remember those squats and lunges 😑. Our lower body,especially legs is the 1st place to weaken...thats a reason many can't get up after a fall. I haven't weight trained in a long time, and I used be one of those gym rats....always there, snow, blizzards, storms...couldn't keep me away.

So far I'm managing to get between 2 miles and up walking each day...its mostly around my property and throwing the ball to my dogs, and I started walking my dogs at 6pm with a girl across the street. She asked if she can walk one of them, for a little extra cash, so I said ok and I'll walk my other, which is calmer.

I'm on Aleve 2x a day...im not feeling much pain and no limping, but I get some radiating pain at times.

Other day, tooooo much in Walmart, pushing an overloaded, cockeyed cart, then I deliberately parked very, very far away for the extra walk 🙄. The cart was so hard to push, I was literally horizontal walking through the lot 😓. Came home and after unloading I iced my hip.

So for today, did some heavy cleaning and picked up some rugs and matts around the house to hose down outside. Keeping my Pacer in my pocket and it's calculating close to 2 miles already...and I plan on walking the dogs later and doing my horses...so hope this helps ...have not lost 1 ounce of weight, not a penny...regardless 🤷‍♀️. I just could use like 5 lbs off...but noooooo.

Have a great weekend all!!

Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful day here - no wind. Yea! I did my 24 minute around the complex walk in 23 minutes today! Wahoo!! Progress! LOL Will add a little bit more distance next time to get closer to 30 minutes. Knee did ok, felt it getting a little swollen but no pain and it feels fine now that I'm home.

Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Happy Focus Friday! That is what I am calling today. I am focusing on what things I need to let go that serve me no purpose and what things I need to improve on. My thoughts are like leaves floating down a river, I need to organize my thoughts so that things I have no control over I can dump.

Restorative day for me with a 20 minute walk and some gentle yoga flow. Got groceries, drove by the lake, still ice out there. It's not Spring here just so you know haha

@Dazlin I'd love to see your horses! Sounds nice walking the dogs with someone else. I've never belonged to a gym, always have done it at home.

@JudyL good job on that 23 minute walk! Improving!

@violet runner I hear ya on the shoes. I ordered some OOFA's, should be here Monday. It's more a recovery shoe but it will be nice for non work out shoes, even in my big "boat" feet Haha. My NB fresh foam though, dang they are the bomb!

Stopped at Jimmy Johns and got a sub, ate by the water and came home. Watching The tigers home opener now. So far they are leading!

Have a great day!

Need prayers, hubby in ICU

lizzys · ‎11-16-2011

@bopper I prayed for your hubby, that he may find healing in the hospital. I included you and your family, that you will be comforted as you help your hubby get through this health situation. Also, prayers for his medical team. Sending you a virtual hug.
