EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Friday

by Babs

Jan 6, 2017

Ok, I'll try this again...on Wed. I thought I started the Exercise Roll Call thread but later saw I must have missed the one already started OR someone missed the fact that I had started one and started another! Nevermind though.

This morning when I did my 10000 steps at the park the outside temperature was 4 !!! I don't know what the win...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Babs, hats off to you. Our temps were similar, and I didn't even consider walking outside. Dressing appropriately is the key (if there is appropriate dress for 4F). Big Box stores really add steps to the count, don't they? I love iPhone.

I've been faltering on using my pedometer, but I did my 90 minutes today, so I know I got my steps in. ...See More

Exercise Roll Call - Thursday

by men

Jan 5, 2017

Well, I stayed on the bike in class a couple minutes longer this morning to say I reached 18 miles today! She was pushing (maybe motivating is a better word) is hard and we would definitely be seeing results with consistent workouts like that.

School started back today for the grandkids so the first grader and I bundled up and did our mile...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Wow, Men, spinning AND walking. Lots of exercise and fresh air as a bonus.

Ron, electric shocks from headphones is a new one to me. Weird.

I walked at the gym for 30 minutes and at the library for 50 minutes today. The library has a 2-month program of biweekly walks through the stacks. Kind of cool, and gets a person looking for p...See More

I am trying so hard to learn housespeak. Every time something breaks, so do I. The old microwave gave up the ghost (fortunately we have an even older one, too) and I think/hope/pray I just ordered a new one (mounted over range with fan) from my best p...See More

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Wednesday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Jan 4, 2017

Thanks, Steps, for being our founder/historian. I thought it seemed like longer than two years.

Cold and blustery here today. We walked our 30 minutes outside, but for the rest of my walk, I opted for the gym. I'm still 775 steps short of my 10K, but I'm off to a meeting now. I hope to finish later tonight.

Keep stepping. Elaine

steps (Excuse my long post today. I haven't been posting and wanted to give a little message to each of you today.) :)

A good day for me today: 18,592 steps for two walks. I walked the dog around the neighborhood about 1 mile, and then I walked about 6.3 miles on the trails. The paths were just a little sticky from the rain yet. I didn't mind it...See More(Excuse my long post today. I haven't been posting and wanted to give a little message to each of you today.) :)

A good day for me today: 18,592 steps for two walks. I walked the dog around the neighborhood about 1 mile, and then I walked about 6.3 miles on the trails. The paths were just a little sticky from the rain yet. I didn't mind it, though, which says something: That I felt good being out there. And motivated. Yay!

JRod: So great to hear from you. Thank you telling me of your struggles, too. I have faith in you that this time you will get back on on track. Me, too. Happy Birthday, by the way! Perfect gift to yourself is any gift that helps you be your best and healthiest self. My dh has a problem with plantar fasciitis, too, and I see how it can be a real issue when it comes to exercise. Careful with that.

men: You have already encouraged JRod to take up spinning. Isn't that awesome? Yay, you. A bit of history: The Roll Call had always been the Main board, even before 2011, but it was never as consistently posted until this reincarnation, which we can thank our judy for re-starting it. In 2011, Tnet added a lot of new boards, Healthy Teachers being one of them. I started posting the Roll Call thread over there, thinking that's where Bob R/CA wanted us to post. But it got started up on the Main Board once again, and with more posters visiting this page than the Healthy Teachers one, so I stopped posting it there. And here we are! If you want to see my old posts just for kicks, here's the url:: [link removed]

Bev: Careful on the slick driveway and cooler temps. If you are at your mom's you may have to take up housewalking, like poster "Old Walker", though I'm sure she's younger in spirit and health than her name suggests due to all her walking! ;) Where are you Old Walker?

Elaine: Rain certainly gives us walkers a challenge, doesn't it? Good job on the yoga. You must be flexible and have great balance. So important.

Judy: We are scheduled for rain later today. Isn't it great? The hills are turning green. Beautiful. Keep up the steppin'. Judy, do you like walking with your walking sticks? A hiker once told me it gives you a better workout than walking without them. Burns more calories, maybe?

Babs: Your activities always make me smile. You have a wonderful life filled with family and fun. Hooray for you keeping up your walks. Florida--does that make you what they call a snowbird? :)

Ron: You are doing really with your walks. Hope your wife wasn't too mad at you for losing her Fitbit after borrowing it one time! Ha, I think I would have been mad if it were my dh. Getting her a quick replacement was a good idea. :)

Alison/AUS: Congratulations on being a "Runner"! That is quite an accomplishment, even coming back after your fracture. That took determination and grit.

I'm sorry if I forgot anyone. And if there are any lurkers out there, come join in. We'd love to hear what you do. It motivates me, and you just might encourage others.

Elaine/ret/IN Steps, I never knew there was a Healthy Teachers board. It looks like it's not very active at this point.

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for being here.

Exercise Roll Call - Wednesday

by Babs

Jan 4, 2017

Monday I started back at the park and have walked everyday since. I've been walking 74 min and that usually is right around my 10000 steps. It was surprising to see that the Roll Call was started in 2011!!. I don't think I got there that early! I too have not had the chance to wish everyone on the Roll Call Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We ha...See More

Exercise Roll Call - Tuesday

by men

Jan 3, 2017

Got into my twice a week routine this AM with spinning class. We had a sub instructor I hadn't had before so it was a nice change. One wouldn't think the instructor could change the experience that much yet still get a good work out. Today there were two nine minute stretches of just endurance. I ended up putting in 17 miles for the hour.

steps Hello to all! Happy New Year!

If you look at the Healthy Teachers Chatboard, I posted an Exercise Roll Call on June 13, 14 & 15 of year 2011! So it has been much longer than a year. Ah, it made me wistful to read my enthusiasm in those early days. And to read that I was doing these hikes with my dog back then. I want to get that same p...See More

JRod @ steps I completely understand how you feel. I, too, seemed to have lost that spark for exercise. I still log my food (1450 days), but am not as diligent with logging EVERYTHING i eat. I forget to add the little things and I know that they affect my lack of progress.

Yesterday, stepping on the scale after the holidays brought me to near tears. I ...See More

School lunches overseas

by Phyllis Chen

I've been privileged to travel overseas and visit the equivalent grade levels in France and Japan

I was invited to lunch in both countries

Wow I wish I had been a kid there

Fantastic food and presentation!

Judy2/CA Anthony Bourdain(sp) had a show on food in France. In one segment he went to a school in a small elementary school during lunch. The children sat in small groups at tables. They got their own milk(in a glass) and lunch and then sat down. The main course was chicken in a white wine sauce - can you imagine that in the US?! Ladies came around to offer...See More
