March 2020 ~ Walk On & On ~ New Check-In Buddies Are Always Welcome! - Page 15

Check-in: another new-to-me WW DVD w/ Michelle Dozois. It's called Start Getting Healthy and has sections on Eat well and Move Smart with ther people. The Work out has cardio, dumbbell toning, and Balance and Flexibility. The cardio was old school, just the way I like it. I also did the last chapter, very good. Saved the toning for another time b/c I didn't know how long it was. Knew I wanted to do the last chapter and felt pretty well worked out after the cardio. Timed it later. Breakdown: cardio 20, toning 20, balance/flexibility 15.

Well, I have a chauffeur job now LOL. DD has taken the bus to work, but now the bus company has eliminated a lot of routes, and the ones they kept have been reduced to a Sunday schedule. So if she were going to take the bus to work under the reduced schedule, she would have to get up an hour earlier. It's not hard for me to do: 12 mile round trip and she has to be there at 10:15. And I really think getting enough sleep is important for health. I wasn't thrilled with her taking the bus anyway in this crisis, but she had been refusing my offers to drive. Her beau drives her home.

Today is my half-birthday and I'm baking half a cake. It's from a kid cookbook; 1 layer, so IMHO that's half a cake.

HI Everyone!

Cynthia I'm so glad you are able to take your DD to work.

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Weekend!

Thank you, Diana. Back atcha.

seabliss · 03-28-20, 02:17 PM

Prayed for you all too! To be healthy and also not anxious. Lynn, also praying for your friend.

Today is my recovery day from my rotation. I had an optional yoga/stretching workout, but I'm opting out. I don't want to burn out on the instructors. Also, I cleaned the house and that's tiring enough, especially the vacuuming. And I walked a mile before it got hot.

Hot?! well, I don't like hot weather, but I'm still waiting for it to get warm enough so I can enjoy a walk outside. 59* today. Thanks for the prayers, Cheryl. You all are in mine.

I enjoyed my half-birthday cake. Had 2 pieces. DD had a piece with ice cream. This morning I gave it to DD to share at work, to keep me from finishing it. Anyone wants the recipe, just LMK. No egg, no milk; does require white vinegar. A good pantry-ingredient recipe.

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: 50 minute outdoor walk

Have a Blessed evening!

Check-in: weighted bar workout from Strong & Smooth Moves, with Karen Voight. I've always liked this one. But when was the last time a workout soundtrack had saxophones LOL.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Have a Blessed day and stay healthy!

barre 3 30 minutes, yesterday family walk. My friend is out of the ICU, he was negative for the virus, but does have pneumonia. Thanks all for your prayer and keeping you all in mine. The boys are planning window washing!

Cynthia, great that you are driving your DD. Sounds like it will be a great help to her and keep her safe. And glad you enjoyed your cake. DS did some major baking on Friday and we had way too many blondies.

Cheryl, good to get outside, it helps keep calm. And sounds like you are getting into the cleaning the house trend I hear lots of housebound folks are getting into! National trend! We're in this together.

Diana, good to get outside too! How is your your DH doing? Does he walk with you?
