Aw how nice to be missed!
I hope everyone is well! I’m way behind on personals but I’m here, lol. I was in the city over the weekend, DH and I had to ready the condo to sell after our tenants moved out on Wed. We packed a lot of dishes, emptied the fridge & cupboards, etc. We hired cleaners to do a thorough clean thankfully as it definitely needed it! We had three guys in there for 6 months, they were on a Netflix film crew. Very nice lads, but not good at routine cleaning. We spent some time with DS1, DIL, & our granddaughters. We still have restrictions on indoor gatherings so we visited outside. They have a lovely backyard deck & propane patio heater. So that was fun! I haven’t done a lot of formal workouts, but I’ve been active every day. April 1: ~City walk, 12,633 steps ~Yin leg stretches & hip openers April 2: ~City walk, 13,614 steps ~Yin stretches April 3: ~City walk, 15,734 steps ~Yin stretches April 4: ~30 min rebounding ~a friend’s Fusion-y Essentrics class online, used resistance bands for the arm work and did some barre toning ~MFML: Soothe Your Soul April 5: ~ neighbourhood walk ~30 min rebounding ~Jessica’s WS3: Yoga Stretch & Strength April 6: ~Taught Essentrics on zoom ~6 km trail walk, a little shinrin-yoku. ~Barre3: 30 min ~15 min yoga flow on a friend’s private YT channel April 7: ~Hatha flow yoga class live stream on Vimeo from a studio in the city. I have several passes left and keep forgetting to use them. This was quite an active class, not fast paced but lots of planks & chaturangas. ~5 km forest trail walk, got my 10,000 steps in

10 mins. and I MUST get on the bike
So if I forget a comment - apologies ahead of time.
Helen: That infuriates me about the Ipod/Fitbit battery thing. And I agree whole heartedly. Why can't they make them last?? I know - it's all about the $$. (I loved my ONE and had bought some extra and low and behold - I discovered the battery issue as NONE of the ones I got on reserve work. ) So I think with all the talk, I MAY just try and put the music/stuff on my phone. It's just I Have soooooooooo much. We'll see. Maybe I'll keep the Ipod and battery (Which I actually can replace the battery on this Ipod, but it would be a lot of $$. At least I think that's what I found out). . . Thanks for the clarification on the grey, bold and regular. Congrats on the 2 lbs. down. Funny how the scale works. (For me at least!!! Strength or tough/long workout = weight up in the a.m. Rest day or not a lot of working out: Scale drops. Thank heavens I only use it as a benchmark. As long as it's consistently coming down, I'm happy! ) Aren't you all glad I started the topic of Ipods?!?!? Susan: I cannot take credit for the counter push ups. that's 100% Kay all the way! She's been doing them for years. I cannot even imagine your schedule/hours. I complain about mine, but my hours and work are are nothing like yours. I get annoyed that they mess with my regular "feeding" schedule and makes it tough for any type of diet/program! I admire you for all you do. I can't imagine. I just can't. Thank you for all you do. Pam: Look at those steps! Definitely counts and you sound so happy! Lili: I agree that yardwork and all you do outside definitely counts as (functional) strength. So you got it. Ok, on to me, me, me: 4/7/2021: 20 mins. Interval run with Jess King, 20 mins. Bootcamp Core with Jess Sims, 30 mins. Low Impact ride with Matt. PM: 2 rows with Mac. One was a country Pop (20 mins.) and one was a Maroon 5 Row (15 mins) Someone asked -- running. Done mostly on the treadmill. I am up at 4 a.m. and it's still dark out so I don't want to hit the road. There's darkness and bears. No thanks! The treadmill is very convenient for me and I enjoy it. I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but I get a great workout and don't have to worry about cars, people and bears. I trained for a half marathon on my tread and did fine with it. I ran outside maybe 2 times the entire time I trained for the 1/2. Ok, gotta go. Tough ride on the docket that I pushed off from yesterday cuz I was tired. Want to get it done before work today and then do my mile and row after work. (And if I'm too tired, I'll just do a mile walk vs. a jog. but we all know that probably won't happen.) Make it a great day! One week down and 3 to go for the month!!! Cleda |

I did.
You typed all that in just 10 minutes?! You type fast, and obviously don't overthink, type, delete, edit.... My original post this morning took 1:11 Two days down without DH & 12+ to go. PAM One of the reasons we DO exercise is so that we CAN do those long walks when in another city - definitely worth it! SUSAN Let me second Cleda's thanks for being on the front line in a hospital. When the lockdowns hit my thought was that the jobs that were regarded as SO important to a minimum quality of life that they were kept going, should be paid more, and those we readily did without - less. To show the appropriate level of VALUE they provide to us all. See... here's why my posts take so long - typed & deleted several huge rants. As a teacher, I don't just teach maths, but try to instill other notions towards encouraging.... oh dear... another rant on the way.... I'll stop before I talk about BILLIONS of years for rainforests to decay to make oil that goes into plastic, and MILLIONS of years for the plastic to break down, and hoards of energy to convert the fossil fuels into a plastic spoon, so we can stir our coffee for 5 seconds whilst in a cafe, because it's too much effort to wash reusable spoons. oops - didn't stop. (there was another bit here, but I started off again & deleted it). Running away now. G'night all. (40min later)
