We are starting to get our snow now. I'm hoping not a whole lot but it's really coming on. I'm glad I got a good walk in yesterday which was an amazingly beautiful Fall day. What a contrast to today. I watched what is becoming one of my fav youtube channels on "tech neck" and it was nice to see that I was familiar with the 3 exercises that they showcased. Now I need to do them more often.

Vannie, that would be a lot of fun to see so many trick or treaters.

MT, glad your department had a chance to visit w/the principal and hope you'll start seeing some positive changes soon.

Waves to Sherry and Scarlett!

Katie, it's a weird weather week for sure. And you know how much I love snow and winter, but I gotta say I'm not quite ready for it yet! I'm hoping we still have a lot of fall ahead after this cold snap. My in-laws living in northwestern MN and they're supposed to get rain to freezing rain to snow. He didn't tell me the expected snowfall. Hope you can enjoy the beauty of the snow coming down but that it doesn't stick around yet! Still supposed to be 71 today and I think 60 smthg tmrw before the big dropoff.

I do really enjoy the trick or treaters. But after the 3 hours of it I am very happy to turn off all the lights, go for one last walk and settle in with a scary movie. This year I decided after my workout it will be an all movie day other than walks and trick or treaters. I'm looking forward to it (surprise surprise!

). Hoping Cyric will do okay and not have to be in his crate for the 3 hours.

This morning I did the upper body segment of Rodney Yee's 1515-Minute Results Yoga and then a virgin, Jillian Michaels Lift & Shred workout 1. It's a heavy weight workout and I liked it a lot. I stayed lighter bc I haven't been lifting much but definitely could go heavier. Hoping to find time later to do the other planned workouts for today.

My doctor said if I exercise I'll be damaging what brain cells I have.

Soooo do you want me still join?

This challenge is about overall wellness and balance. You are always welcome here, Scarlett!

I've been doing my usual Jessica workouts, alternating one day of strength with a day of cardio. Walking Chica every morning now, except Sundays, my day off. The weather is so much cooler in the morning, which is nice.

Scarlett, definitely join in. We would miss hearing from you!

Scarlett, of course we want you to join us!

Catahoula Cate · 10-09-19, 10:40 PM

Scarlett, absolutely join in!

Sherry, Jeff at Athlean-X posted this video about the ab wheel and how to correct common mistakes. Now that I know he likes the tool I wish I had kept mine!

I'm sitting here asking myself, if I'm not working, why am i trying to get up before 7 every weekday?? Better time mgmt could equate to extra sleep! I was actually out of bed at 6:20 today and yesterday and it's still dark then!

Vantreesta · 10-10-19, 04:26 PM

I was all fired up to workout this morning but I decided to walk Cyric first to make sure we beat the rain. Well my enthusiasm died AND the rain never came till noon so I could have even done the run that was scheduled! Sigh. Well, tmrw is another day, as Scarlett says!

Katie, how's the snow situation?

I'm doing some thinking about habit stacking and rewards. Hopefully I can implement my ideas with success!
