Today I hit 9414 + I did a 20 minute Tai Chi (the spelling eludes me at the moment); the walking was done in 4 different sessions, working around other activities. Being retired is grand, huh? I had nearly 10,000 if I combined Saturday and Sunday.
The grands were here over the week-end. Between Science Bob (Who would have thought they'd be so in love with vinegar and baking soda?) and painting Easter eggs, Gram had a great time. DGD cried on cue when we left; warms my heart every time. ;)
Today was back to the gym. I played hooky last week for no good reason. I did my cardio and strength training. I skipped the outdoors cardio because the pollen will kill me later if I breath it in too long. Since I hate the treadmill, elliptical and stairmaster, I did my cardio on the cycle. Unfortunately, I only lasted 21 minutes because I had to pick up my mom from the grocery store and because my backside couldn't take it any more. I wonder how men avoids this issue?
With all the oak catkins (had to look up this thing since I didn't know what it was called), my pool deck and pool were covered in them. The baskets were stuffed full of this stuff so it needed to be cleaned out before the pool starts filtering later this evening. I swept the deck and skimmed the pool. Once that was done, I vacuumed the pool. All that took about an hour, I'll probably have to do it daily until the oak stops all this nonsense.
It doesn't bother my backside any more. I heard one of the instructors say to some new people to the class that it takes about 5 or 6 classes to adjust. We do a lot of standing while cycling so that helps, too. If we have been doing several minutes straight sitting we are free to stand to change position and stretch. When I ride outside my backside rarely hurts even if I have been riding over an hour. Indoor cycling seems different in that regard. The best thing I have done is invest in cycling shoes with the clips. That has made a huge difference in my progress. I am going into class tomorrow > Keep moving!
Sorry for the long post...I keep on replaying that moment in my head, and just wanted to get it out in writing because it made me feel very defeated today!

Hi All, I live in California and teach third grade at a Catholic School. I am 53. I'm wanting to make a move to Nashville but don't know what the likelihood would be to get a teaching position. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. I adore teaching! Thank you, Durya132
BentoBethI can;t find the article now (of course) but I came across a story the other day about a huge need for teachers in Rutherford County, TN which is close to Nashville. Great public schools and I believe a signing bonus! Good luck with your move!

<h3><font color=purple>It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.
Still cold around here, but it's been raining on and off since last night. Beats the 4" of snow we got Monday. I had my face to face interview today for that part time job I am interested in. I passed that on line assessment to earn this interview. I hadn't done algebra problems in almost 50 years. I was surprised at how much I remembered.
Now it's time to watch some ncaa basketball. Both of our teams won their first games.
judycaret Wow, men, compliments! I did get a compliment from a woman even older than me in my oldies' exercise class. She said I have a straight back. Hahaha.
I walked at least 9,000 steps each day yesterday and today. Still maintaining weight okay.
