We are getting ready for a garage sale this weekend so it's tough to fit in too much biking. I have cycling class in the am and if it's not storming Saturday, I hope to do the training ride.
Elaine: don't you just love this spring weather like today? I think we got 7" more rain then average but these sunny days help us forget the rainy days.
Judy, I LIKE your leadership...See MoreMen, what an accomplishment to see DGD taking some nearly-adult responsibility! You've taught her well, and you're caring for yourself as well.
jrod, so glad to be at the end of your slide. You're life is always on the move. I'm sorry about your brother. Two workouts in 1 day--an overachiever, you are.
Judy, I LIKE your leadership here--teehee! Kudos to the sub caregiver who can give you a break. Self-care, again.
Morning walk with friend. Afternoon at a county park with DH. Solo walk this evening. Perfect day to be outdoors.
Decoration Day is the most beautiful of our national holidays . . . The grim cannon have turned unto palm branches, and the shell and shrapnel into peach blossoms.
We took geraniums in urns to the cemetery, but no ceremony. DH golfed, and I worked outside.
I did 3 walks, which turned out longer than I'd expected because SIL called while I was walking, so I added on time to walk with her. Never turn down a walking partner is my motto. Total: 17623 steps; do you think this is really accurate?
We had lunch out and watched ceremony at the county building. Shopped for a few more plants for DM which I planted during a sprinkle. lol We were hoping for more, to help with what's planted in the garden. DN is spending the night at DM's, so I am enjoying time at home.
We are getting ready for a garage sale this weekend even though it is supposed to rain. We are finally going through boxes that belong to our daughter who lives overseas. There are things in there from junior high. She told us what she wants to keep so there is a lot to go through yet. I sigh as I clean out stuff as I know it's a matter of time before hubby buys more stuff. I just want my belongings down to nothing so my kids don't have to get rid of it.
The youngest caught a toad in the backyard so that kept her occupied for a couple hours. It's a good thing the dog wasn't interested in the toad. She had Mike's underground and rabbits under the ivy to sniff for.
Elaine, I was reading just yesterday I think about how inaccurate those tech toys are for exercising. I think the article was in USA Today maybe. I never could get pedometers to work right so I gave up in those.
Well, I hear the thunder and saw lightening so I need to get some things done.
Bob R/CAThat was my mistake, as soon as I was made aware of it I had it fixed. Hopefully that won't happen again, but if you do see errors like that, I encourage you to report them to us by email at webmaster@teachers.net.
Caregiver was late and I needed a ton of groceries (because weekday caregiver is on vacation all next week), so I only got to walk for an hour. Better than nothing.
I'm a little worried about my weight because I won't be able to walk next week and I'm downright terrible at housewalking. Fingers crossed.
Good for you, Men. You even had 2 sightings (I miss Steps and Shuffle). Cool that the cars backed up for the creatures. You're moving! We finished the rummage sale today--good sale, though I didn't work much. I did get some garden planted and some weeds pulled. I also walked 30 minutes and biked 15 miles. Using my iPhone as a pedometer is quite rewarding on a bike ride--15849 steps. I don't think so!
9676 steps on the pedomete...See MoreHere is my post for today. Judy, you'll miss your walking--mentally and physically. Do you have a good supply of books stacked up? Including some that will raise your heart rate?
Oh, Bev, we've really had showers/downpours to work around during spring, 2017, haven't we? Hope your goal was achieved today.
9676 steps on the pedometer today, though there were a few more, since I didn't "wear' my phone this morning when I wore dressy clothes. I walked this afternoon, pausing for a few minutes under a tree to avoid the rain. Then, I did laps back and forth in front of the house because I knew it was really going to start in again. Tonight the sun came out, and DH and I took a short walk in the subdivision.
We had our first lake BBQ this afternoon/evening. It is very muddy there--squishy for the 20' by the lake shore. Oh, well, good food. Fun to reconnect with nieces and nephews we don't see often enough.
