  • I did 42min of cardio from Cathe's Low Impact Challenge. I've had this step workout for over a year but haven't tried it until today. It will never be a favorite but its do-able. Step choreo confuses me, actually any choreo confuses me, I'm not very good at following along.
  • Happy Saturday friends

    Got up early today trying to get my workout in before my 13yo ds got up, really bothers me when he starts his smart remarks. I was just about to do the stretches at the end and here he comes. Luckily he was behind me and my brain was already mentally rolling my eyes because he popped off with something, and I'm thankful that I don't know what it was! I only did the 1 mile today, my plan is 1 mile tomorrow as well then Monday start trying to get through the 2 mile each weekday, with a possible 1 mile "rest" day on Wednesday.
  • Hi everyone

    Belinda, hope you are feeling better soon.

    Today I didn't get up and workout (read my Rube Goldburg thread), but did get my butt on the treadmill for an hour.. a whole hour!!! My legs were like jello when I got off..lol.
  • yesterday, Hubby and I were invited to a BBQ down by the river and took April. She made friends with two little girls who were the daughters of our host. Its gotten cool, the high today is 65*, last week it was 90*! I got Hubby to get my winter clothes down from the attic, so I will start to switch those out. I haven't knit much the past month but started a green cardigan this weekend.
