Another weekend is upon us! I made cookies this week for the Friends of the Library Dickens reception. Our town has Dickens of a Christmas the first Saturday of December. Lots of people dress up in Victorian garb and there are showings of A Christmas Carol, lots of singing groups, food stalls...

It's snowing here today! So far though it's not sticking, so hopefully no shoveling. I think CG is great. I've completed the first three weeks of the iron program yesterday. I do legs on Mondays, upper on Tuesdays, off Wednesdays, total body on Thursdays, off Friday, legs Saturdays and upper...

All is good here. The program I'm doing is called Iron by Caroline Girvin. It's on youtube. It's 5 workouts a week for 6 weeks. I'm on week 3. Today is supposed to be a total body for me. We'll see. I didn't sleep well and have to get the turkey dinner ready. Plus I really want to get 8K...

Diagnosing is without a doubt the most difficult aspect of health care. I got to the bottom of my low back-down the leg issue after many doctors. It's no fun doing all low impact all the time, but the fear of the SI joint locking up is enough for me to avoid it! We're cleaning out the...

I hope you had a great time in Oregon! My weekend was good. Yesterday I saw a local musical production of Anne of Green Gables. Besides that I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving-actually started dusting. Workout wise I did my rucking and a glute routine on Saturday and arms with abs on Sunday...

You got in workouts every week in October! Don't feel too bad. I think we do need more rest and recovery time at this point in our lives. I know I've had a major shift in my energy and recovery levels in the past 3 months. I did legs on Thursday and finally feel like today (4 days later)...

How has your week been? I had my checkup on Tuesday and all is well. I did lose 1/4 of an inch in height in the past year-darn osteoporosis. Maybe AI can figure out some help for it. I rucked Monday and today. In an hour or so I plan on lower body weights. What have you been doing? I'm...

I'm just rolling through the week. The NYT had an article about walking with a rucksack (backpack full of weights) and so my official workouts are called rucking. So I rucked Monday and did some bodyweight leg exercises. Tuesday and Wednesday I just walked to and from work and 20 minutes at...

I think we're acclimated finally! Going back to work helped me do that this week. I have a check up on the 31st. Opted not to get my blood work this year, but will get a mammo. I feel pretty good and really don't feel like I need a check up, but it's required to continue to get my...

Hi! I am so sorry Dave went through the prep and then didn't have the procedure done. So annoying. I had one good prep and satisfactory colonoscopy and then one bad prep and they said I would need to do it again. That was five years ago and I ended up just doing the FIT test. I was mad as...

I've been busy getting ready this weekend for our trip. We leave on Thursday! DS2 is helping with the cats which is a big relief. I have been focusing on 3 total body weight workouts a week. Sometimes for just 30 minutes and sometimes an hour-depends how much energy I have. I have yet to try...

I am feeling much better! I got an upper body workout in on Monday, but since then have just walked. Thursday was just a long walk due to doctor appointments for DH. Fortunately his intestinal track is not part of the hernia so it's a wait and see what happens. If it gets to where it's too...

I had a long week last week. Monday I started with a sore throat and swollen glands. By Wednesday I had a negative covid test but felt terrible-headache, weak, tired, runny nose, cough. Thursday was just sick all day and by Saturday I was finally on the upswing. DH of course started feeling...

Speaking of axe throwing-a business for that just opened at the mall near me. I saw it advertised. It's an hour away, so I don't know how soon we'll get there, but it's on my list to try! How was your weekend? I went on a birthday bash/wine tour yesterday to celebrate one of my girlfriend's...

Happy Birthday! How was the axe throwing? I have never tried that, but know someone here at work who does it quite often. Just watching soccer, working out, walking, and regular weekend chores. Been sleeping really well and getting up between 6-7 every day. I stopped taking my anxiety med...

One of my favorite Cathe's was Cardio leg blast on the X-train series. I miss it! Doing legs is always somewhat cardio for me because the program I'm using has between 30-60 seconds of work and then 15-30 seconds "rest". My heart rate gets up for most of the time. Today was leg day for me...

My week was good. I got walks in every day and did an upper body workout on Tuesday after work and a lower body on Thursday. Our 33rd anniversary was on Friday. We made a nice dinner and of course marveled at how young everyone looked in our wedding album. It's been weirdly damp and humid...

That total body with one dumbbell sounds great. I love when I don't need a lot of equipment and there are lots of compound moves. Heavy, short, and sweet! I did a 20 minute lower body workout yesterday of lunges, squats, and step ups. Some days I just feel like shorter workouts! Today is...

What a nice vacation! Wouldn't a home hot tub be nice to have. DH uses the one at the gym, but it's with a motel and can get pretty dirty. We went up and saw the the surgeon yesterday. She is ruling out a groin strain/sprain in a muscle for a month. If no improvement on prescription...

Summer is flying by! Are you in the mountains this week? 63 will be here before we know it. I recommend part time-with a fixed schedule. Then your other part time job can be working out! The marketplace is tricky-especially now that Covid is "over". Spent some time with my parents and DH...
