--leg press, 80 lbs, 90 lbs, 100 lbs,...See MoreToday was strength training. I had to keep adjusting weights each set until I found the right weight that challenged my muscles but were still doable. The goal of the weight should be that the last couple should be harder to complete.
--cardio warmup, 5 minutes on treadmill, 3 incline, 3.5 mph
The pullup was the only one I had to modify. I just don't have the strength yet to pull my body up. I tried one unmodified and I just hung there like a sausage!
After the workout, I went and did the foam roller on all my muscles. It is painful until the muscles releases and then it's great!
What colour shoes, bag and hat will go well with a deep pink/purple dress?
I am useless at this. Here are some options I already have available..nude/pale pink, white, navy, black (reluctant to use that last because it's for a wedding). Happy to look for something else though...just need to know what. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
flackaIf it's not too formal I would wear beige shoes/bag and if it's more formal, then silver shoes and bag. I can't help you with a hat since I never wear one.
I am taking tomorrow off and just taking time to relax. We are heading into several days of 90 degrees. Saturday is training day and we bumping up miles and speed. My poor body needs some rest on the joints.
I ran the Zumba class this morning but did not get the extra walking in. DM knees went out as we started the day and it was lucky I was behind her and held her up. Gently sat her on the floor until DH came and helped get her up. Afternoon went much better for her and for me!! I did get 2 miles on the treadmill which boosted my steps up. 10,737.
Babysitting today. First, the all school "picnic" at their school. Then, we stopped at a park to play on the equipment and to float a few sticks. Then to the soft pretzel store. Then, the library. Then, Round 2 of the water balloon jamboree. Today was "floatie" day: borrow bowls from Gram, fill them, then float the balloons. They can't throw them hard enough to break on each other's bodies, so they have to go to plan B. We topped the day off with "Happy Feet" with Gramps babysitting while Gram went to a meeting.
9,082 steps today. (30 minutes of walking before school + chasing kids all day!)
I did a "group" ride tonight but I was the entire group. I didn't read the location right on the club calendar and went to the wrong meeting place. So I went by myself and I rode for two hours. The wind felt wonderful. I did run into the group later on so I went the same route except backwards! My knees felt a bit sore afterward but I think I can be fine in the morning.
I had never considered this before, but I just came across an organization called Koala Kids that helps you get licensed and trained so that you can start and run a daycare out of your own home. For those interested, the information that I came across can be found here (https://goo.gl/forms/Jt6WjqhldXGAhWa22) and here (https://www.facebook.com/koalakidsdaycare/).
I looked at the 2 links in your post and *many* questions came to mind about not only the daycare aspect but also that of being self-employed.
Their big selling point is that you make more than than a preschool teacher but as the owner there are many things that you have to consider and pay for that a preschool teacher doesn't need to worry about.
As my daughter can attest to, being a small business owner is very hard work. Whatever you decide, make sure you have done your homework and go into it with your eyes open.
My two daughters live in London and both work in that area. It took a while to find out they were all right. Some poor families re finding out their lovd ones are not all right...
Yes, of course we miss her, but first with Skype and now with FaceTime, we keep in frequent communication. She usually gets here for a short visit once a year. She spent a year in France as an exchange student when she was 15 so she broke us in a very long time ago on not seeing her for long periods of time. Back then there no personal computers, no email, no cell phones so our only communication was by letters and a very occasional phone call from a phone booth. This is our youngest daughter who wouldn't leave my side until she was almost 8 years old in social situations. Obviously she overcame those fears.
Thank you for the offer but she has been there for so long that she has quite a wide circle of friends now. Like she said and after our visit last summer we know, London is a very large city. Sometimes we would hear about things in the states on the news that happened there before she would know. The news here would make a big deal about it where one would think the entire city was affected, when in reality it occurred in a very tiny area in a very far away part of the city. It's like when exchange students come to the states and they think they can drive to California for the weekend and not realize how vast the miles the US is.
With two daughters living in London, you must make frequent trips there then. We loved the city. What was interesting to me was that I always felt safe in London, unlike I do when visiting a large city here. We witnessed a shopkeeper yelling and chasing a thief while we were walking down the street one morning. It happened quickly. If the same thing had happened here, I would have immediately ducked for cover.
