Sherry, We did not have any trick or treaters this year either. We live on the highway so if we do they come it is planned.

Vannie, sorry to hear about your family. I hope they are all better soon.

We had a great time trick or treating as kids too. We lived in a big neighborhood so we always made a haul.

Rowvember challenge day 1 done. I didn't want to bc I waited till after our last walk but I wasn't starting the challenge off missing the first day. My head is killing me so it wasn't very enjoyable.

Day 2 of Rowvember done. This was supposed to be intervals at different spm but since I don't have a monitor and did not want to count strokes for 30 minutes I did one of his YT videos instead. I'm frustrated though bc I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. This was an intermediate workout, which I am not with rowing, plus I'm really not in shape but Shane was really working and speaking through exertion and my HR maxed at 110 and I never felt like it was hard at all. My HR gets up slightly more with a Leslie walk if I pump it up but this is what it has been like any time I row. I don't know if I'm doing smthg wrong or if it's bc my rower is not the same style. But it irritates me bc I want a good workout and don't feel like I got one.

ETA: after our 2 mi walk I did CLX Burn Circuit 3 and my own stretch.

All I have to say about things lately is THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

Thanks for the good wishes for my family and my friend's family.

I emailed Shane this morning to ask for suggestions/guidance on the rowing workouts. Since I didn't know what to do for that yet I did my DYY Anti Back Pain Yoga instead. I didn't do it for several days and wanted to get back to it. I think I did day 5. We walked almost 5 miles plus had to stop for 5-10 minutes to work on reactivity so we ended up being gone about 1 3/4 hours. I'm not sure if I'll get in any more workouts today other than smthg for rowing and a stretch.

Thanks, Mell! We kept a pretty good pace today but I guess since I've been walking 3 times a day most days for the past 20 years or so I forget to consider it a workout! Thanks for giving me some perspective on it. Good job tackling your eating before it tackles you. I missed that boat and feel like I can't get a handle on it. Baby steps.

I did Two Week Turnaround Total Body tonight. I did not like it, so next time it rolls around in my schedule I will do a PBL workout instead.

I am rewarding myself for meeting my October goal with a pedicure tomorrow. I can't wait!
