OMG-I can't believe what the hail did to your house! That is awful. I'm glad insurance will cover it. I wish I had a bird nest close by! My BIL has one right outside his dining room window and I've been watching the mama lay on the eggs when we're over there. This weekend was good. I got...

How are you feeling? Setbacks are so frustrating. Have you found any stretches that can help? Mother's Day was fine. I chatted with DS2 and even walked up to see my mom for a few minutes. It's just not the same relationship anymore. Otherwise, everything in my life is going pretty good! I...

Hi! I'm sorry to hear about your hip. For me, it was a sacroiliac joint issue. My leg was "jammed" into my pelvis (from stepping? from potholes on bike rides?) Gradually the pain got worse and worse. It ached a lot and I even had pain when putting my foot on the gas pedal and found driving...

Hi! Sorry to be MIA for so long. Speaking of haircuts I went to a long asymmetrical bob. So I kept the length in front and made it shoulder length all the way around. I really like it. I can work out without having to put my hair up and it dries so much faster! I think I want the back a...

All is good here. Getting to walk to work all three days has been nice. I've just been picking workouts based on what I feel like doing. Getting in weight work 4 times a week. I kind of like doing an upper body on Saturday, legs Sunday, and a shorter upper body on Mondays (with focus on back...

I've been doing spring cleaning and getting the back porch ready for the warmer weather! DH is scraping, priming, and painting the bottom half of one side of our house. We got dirt and mulch and are hoping to get some little plants soon to start the herb garden and I decided to do a container...

Not much working out for me this past week. I hurt my back last week doing something and took some time off! We're going to get the back porch ready today-hose it off, put the rug out, etc. Also going to try my hand at an herb garden (again). I'm looking forward to being outside more and...

I think walking is the best exercise! Glad your foot is feeling better and will only continue to improve. I'm not having any weight loss success. I like to cook, bake, and eat too much, I think. How is Dave enjoying being retired from work? I find my two days at home just enough. If I lost...

Finally got a decent week to walk to and from work! It took me a few days last week to get over the spring forward time change, but now my energy levels are back to normal. Today is a total body and walk day. Also-English National Team plays Italy's team in a Euro qualifier. Other than that...

We had a great time in Pittsburgh. The game was so fun! I wish we lived closer and could be part of a team community. The rink was smaller in person than I expected and the players were bigger! Friday we meandered and had a nice meal out. We got over 10,000 steps a day not driving in a...

I hope you are all feeling better! Starting track in winter is just crazy-I hope there's not too many cold days left for runs. I used to help out with the track meets when I was working in the schools. I loved watching all the events. The kids were so supportive of each other. I hope your...

We went to see a movie last night-All Quiet on the Western Front. It was really well done and I'm rooting for it to be best picture. We've been watching a lot of the Oscar nominees the past few weeks and DH wanted to see this one on the big screen. If nothing else, the sound effects were...

I hope you're feeling better! I've been thinking about what to move on to from RWH. RWH is so good and has so many premixes. it's quick and effective for sure! I honestly don't know what to tell you besides doing what you feel like doing. Maybe your body is asking for two upper and two...

Yoga was great. There were not too many people and it was laid back and relaxing. The moves were pretty basic and I actually practiced the sun salutation yesterday after my weights to try to get my breath better coordinated. I did Yoga with Adrianne on You Tube-I swear You Tube has...

I got 6 workouts in last week-4 cardio and 2 total body. Yesterday I walked and didn't feel like a total body, so did a 40 minute no repeat cardio. It felt good! Today I feel like legs so will do that and a walk. Our cold spell is supposed to snap today-we've been in the polar vortex. DH is...

Well, my hand/wrist/arm is finally better! I had cut my index finger on top of the wrist problem and have finally turned the corner on that healing as well. I've been doing walks (weather permitting) with the weight vest, total body weights, and abs. For some reason, I just started feeling...

Well, I thought my left hand/wrist/arm were getting better! I have been in rest mode since Monday. Something is not right and I'm afraid to try weights. I wish I could pinpoint which exercise hurt me. I have no idea now what to even attempt to do. There's so much wetness outside so I'm...

I would love to have some indoor cardio options beyond low impact moves. I actually purchased an indoor bike trainer on facebook marketplace, but it was a bust. It did not have the connector piece-just the front tire holder and the back wheel thing. There was no cord to control tension. Oh...

Well, I've done something to my hand/grip on my left. It hurts to pick things up. So frustrated! I wish I could tell what it's from-pushup variation? weights? Shuffling cards on Monday wasn't fun either. I haven't done much with it the past two days and have a total body on tap for later...

We watched football games on New Year's Eve! DH loves college football so we activated a one week free trial of FUBO just for that. We had a fire and it was relaxing. Glad you're adapting to your foot and getting some leg work in. I'm never going to be able to do high impact again with my...
