Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

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.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

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.

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

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!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

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!

Re: Welcome to the October Exercise Thread

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

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.
