Well, the foot specialist diagnosed me with metatarsalgia. He took excellent pictures of my foot and apparently my second and third toe bones are longer than the other toe bones. So the foot gets inflammation in the ball of the toe from too much pressure. I've purchased pads to put in my...

Not much going on here. We do not use a budgeting app or tool. A long time ago we used some free quicken program and found out most of our expenses is food! Glad you felt good enough for a leg workout! Last week was the pool on Monday and Thursday and yesterday I rode a stationary bike at...

We have been working around the house a lot. DH has finished painting and is now staining trim. I do a lot of the "support" work-move things, dust, vacuum up what falls. I did no weights last weekend and probably won't this one either. I tried a 10 minute walk yesterday and am not ready for...

Oh my-sorry you to hear you guys had Covid. I'm just trying to get through the days without working out! I did an upper body weight circuit on the weekend and then pool on Monday. Today will be pool again. Otherwise-baking bread and reading. We played cards last night and had fun. March...

I finally did an upper body workout yesterday! I did the Ramped Up Upper Body from the Strong and Sweaty Series. It was about 45 minutes and am happy to be back to some weights. I don't know about my toe/foot. It still feels the same even with taping, boot, and rest for a month. Maybe it's...

Hello! I am taking it one day at a time with my foot. I feel like I'm back to a tarsal tunnel problem-I had surgery for it 22 years ago. My foot feels tingly and sore. I have an appointment with a foot and ankle doctor in March. Unless resting helps greatly, I'll go see him and discuss it...

TessGeo-I like Sanjay Gupta, Dr.Glaucomfleckem, and one called Maintenance Phase. Do you have any? Beth

Nice job on your consistency! I'm doing pool Mondays an Thursdays until the end of February. I ended up going to see my primary care provider last week and she put me in a walking boot. Its has really helped all my worries about support and if I wear a heeled shoe my alignment is better. It's...

Well, I'm making good progress on the picture/photo project. I've culled through all of DH's side of the family and the first album will be his roots-both sets of grandparents and then his first nuclear family. The next will be our family. I can't really do my side yet since my parents have...

Well, I went Tuesday to the Walk In and was dx with a stress fracture in my right second toe. So-minimal impact for 6 weeks. I was told to tape it to the next toe and "take it easy". Tuesday and Wednesday I just got through work. Yesterday I went to the pool and did 30 minutes of no impact...

How frustrating to go through that with Dave's retirement. Seems like something they should have told you up front. All my fitness plans are now out the window. There's something wrong with my right second toe. I've Doctor googled it and am going to do conservative measures for a week and...

OMG-we were checking in at the same time!

Yikes-we are in a cold freeze and the furnace stopped working today. We noticed it about 4PM. So, the on call are on their way. It's 56 in my house right now. How are you? I only worked out 4 days this week. Way too cold to walk. What have you been up to? I finished my latest puzzle...

Yes. I bought a 10 pound vest and then added about a third of the extra weights from the 5 pound box. I don't ever expect to get above 15 pounds total. I've also been wearing my hiking boots for better ankle support. It's heavy! It's a good modification because DH does not like to walk as...

Well if it's not too far from Santa Monica we should totally do that hike! 1000ft and 4 miles sounds perfect. We don't have any plans yet. Hopefully we get more notice than a week if DS2 is planning to travel and needs a sitter. He's a bit of a procrastinator at times. I've been following my...

Well-if we ever go house sit for DS2 you should come out and we can go to some of the beaches by bike! Apparently the whole coast has a road that is pretty safe to bike on. Malibu is pretty close to him as is Venice. I don't know any others, but we could find them. DH doesn't like to bike...

It's finally Saturday! I got to sleep in until 8 today and am looking forward to regrouping today. I was able to walk the past two days and am planning a leg workout today and an upper body tomorrow. Do you have plans for New Year's? DH is pumped for football and I'm ready to finally watch...

Hi! We made it back and I've been working ever since. Covid is rampant here again and with so many people calling off I've been scheduled all week. The move is complete! The freeway was not fun to be driving on last Saturday. But, everyone made it safe and sound. I finally did a short...

Well, we had a bit of a whirlwind last week. DS2 and his girlfriend are taking a break-right before the move to LA. So DH and I are flying out on Thursday and helping him move. We will drive down either Friday or Saturday with him and his pets. Pack on Thursday and unpack until we fly home...

How are you? I have been in a bit of a funk. I'm attributing it to the time change since I'm still waking up really early in the morning. I'm making my way through Iron. If it's not for you-don't do it! I'm trying to just maintain muscle and reverse my bone loss at this point (if that's...
