WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER EXERCISE THREAD - Page 5

I walked 3 miles yesterday and about 3.5 miles today. I spent the most of last week rusting as @bopper would say. Her words of encouragement got me out of it for the last two days because it kept playing in my head on repeat!

Thank you @bopper for the youtube suggestions for the rebounder. I don't have facebook or I would have loved to join that Lifepro group. My DH picked up his sister's Lifepro vibration plate that she no longer wanted. I guess I need to move it out of the kitchen where he plopped it and start vibrating!

@violet runner I don't sleep well when I babysit the grands. They sure are fun but tiring. I see why we have children when we are young.

@JudyL Hope your knee is feeling better. Like others have said, it could have been the weather.

The weather here has been cold and dreary with the exception of today which was perfect. I do need to get a run in soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

@lizzys you are getting some good miles in.. Motion is lotion as they say. It's

good for us!

I had a full plate of errands yesterday , but did get to the rec center first and a short walk later on. It was very windy- wasn't that cold, but the wind made it seem like more.

@bopper My DH and I inadvertently signed up for an HMO dental plan this coming year. Yup- we overlooked the mistake( needed a PPO)- of course my dentist isn't in the group I can go to. So for this year I will pay out of pocket of pocket for a few cleanings.. It won't break the bank- but refuse to go the any place they said that was in my group.. Just mentioing cause it's another layer of anxiety with the dentist. Hopefully I won't need anything big this year with my teeth and if I do, maybe I can postpone until Jan. 2026. Lessons learn and won't make that mistake again..

Have a good day everyone. Keep moving that knee @JudyL .

Except for food, I am done with Xmas prep! 1 week f romn today!

Hi everyone! It's still dreay and icy here. Good grief!

I did a calmer routine today as my abs are really sore. I used the vibration plate for 10, rebounder for 20, 10 minutes of that was sit bouncing and if you contract your abs while doing it you will get sore!

@lizzys I'm glad I could be of service haha! Ya know not everyday do I feel like I want to move but then again, I don't want to be one of those in a nursing home not able to rise out of a chair! If I ever do end up there I will be leading classes, yes I will! There are rebounder clases like I said on Youtube, Earth and Owl, and for the vibration plate go to the Lifepro youtube page and check out their videos. Many are instructional with a lot of talking but fast forward if you need to and get to the good stuff. lately I just use skiing motions with my arms and move my hips and it's fun and I love music so I am such an advocate for doing something you love because if you love it you will be so much more consistent! I know longer want to get this high heart rate, sweat buckets just to say I kept up with 30 year olds. Don't care! I want to keep up with 70 and 80 and 90 year olds and hopefully God willing I can! ( well that was a lot haha)

@violet runner my son is having a hard time now with the dentist not taking his insurance Delta Dental. Why is everything such a battle. It's getting closer to Colorado time. I'm a little nervous. I am not a good flyer and being with the littles for so long without the parents makes me nervous. I need my quiet time! Order me good weather okay so I can walk on the many walking paths and sidewalks. I love that about the neighborhoods in Denver, so many walking areas and I won't get lost as I already found one where I can leave the house and just walk it and find my way back.

This is getting long once again, why do I do that Haha

On a not healthy note I had Spaghettio's for lunch Bahhhhhhhh

I'm back to report that I did run today. I kinda thought I should since I wrote about the possibility last night. I ran 4 miles and walked 1 mile. The run was more like a slow jog but it still counts, right?

@violet runner I guess the motion lotion will help with my restful rusting. Now if I can just keep it up. That is so frustrating about your dentist.

@bopper Thank you for all the tips to get me started with the vibration plate. The rebounder is on my Christmas list, so I plan to try those two youtube channels if Santa is good to me. I hear what you are saying about how we must exercise through our golden years. I don't really like to exercise, but I don't want to not be able to exercise, so I must dust those weights off. Sure wish I slept better because that would help me to be more consistent with exercise.

I do enjoy that there are so many walking trails in Colorado, so I will be thinking about you when you are there.

Hi Everyone

Wish it was the weather but I know it's not. My knee is stiff, achy and painful because of the surgery. Today I took a bit of a walk outside, which was nice.

@bopper - Have a safe trip to CO.

Take care all

Hello, wasn't feeling great this morning so took the day off other than 10 minutes on the plate. My asthma is kicking in with the cold dry air, and being inside so much I suppose the dust and ****** is bothering me too. It's not horrible but the cough gets me. I keep checking ahead for the weather in CO while we are there. Hoping for at least 50~

@lizzys good job on the jog! And yes I hope you have been a good girl for Santa!

@JudyL rest up on the knee, it's letting you know!

I see Amazon is striking, what a time!

lizzys · ‎11-16-2011

I walked three miles again today and I am sounding boring on this thread already. I went out to lunch with a friend and did some Christmas errands. I still have a couple gifts to buy and all the wrapping.

violet runner · ‎06-16-2010

@lizzys - not boring at all coming on sharing with this group. Hopefully some more of our virtual friends will come back after the holidays. I like popping in and saying hello and it keeps me on track to keep moving.

I got an invite to hike with 2 friends on Xmas Day.. It's a place I haven't been to in a couple of years. We'll meet at 7am and hike for a couple of hours. Plenty of time go get back and put together dinner with my DH and DS.. To me that'll be the best Xmas Day . I hope I can do it..

@bopper It does look like decent weather here in CO when you come- Not certain what day you are traveling and how long you are staying.

Hope you feel good soon too.

Today I have some errands, but plan on walking too.

Enjoy the day everyone.

lizzys · ‎11-16-2011

Thank you @violet runner for your encouragement to keep posting. I really tried hard to talk myself out of taking a walk this morning, but it all worked out. I walked my 3 miles later than normal, and we had a brief snow storm during that time. It was so nice walking with the beautiful snow flakes!

@bopper I hope you are feeling better today and hope that @JudyL has a good pain free knee day!

bopper · ‎03-09-2010

Happy Friday! Groceries this morning and 40 minutes on my spin bike this afternoon. Still have the asthma cough but heck I could have that until April, so I just didn't worry about speed or resistance.

@violet runner we are coming the 3rd-11th. So keep it nice for me!

Today we got about 3 inches of snow, but the highway was salted so I was okay.

@lizzys never boring, we like to just chat here about anything! I'm already in my jammies!

@JudyL I hope your knee is better. Is your DD still checking in on you?

@DrKelli I sure do miss my Logan. We talk about getting another dog but it's too soon.

Have a good night everyone!
