Cheryl, I hope you feel better soon. Glad you've got DH & dog there. Yes, the Kettlebutt challenge is online. I posted the link, and also the workout breakdowns, in the GD. Currently on page 4. It's free but won't always be available. Lauren Brooks' "playground" streaming costs more than I'm interested in paying. She does these freebies a few times a year and I always like them. For people with more energy than I'm currently feeling, they would be useful as add-ons.

Today's check-in: Kettlebutt challenge day 5. Learned a new way to do one-legged deadlifts. I'd call them one-legged sumo squats though.

I got a new pillow a couple of days ago from Target online. It's not in the stores. Sealy contour memory foam pillow. Years ago, my chiropractor recommended the contour pillow that's in Target but it was hard as a rock and uncomfortable for me. I was thinking of trying again b/c sleeping on my side was getting my neck out of alignment too frequently. I saw the Sealy one and it's perfect for me. Memory foam is supportive but not rock-hard. It feels good when I'm on my back or either side.

HI Everyone!

Cynthia Yay for finding a good pillow. I have a difficult time with pillows.

Cheryl I hope you feel better. Everything is still fine with my phone. I'll see how easy the transfer of info is. I did it the last time but I'm just not a fan of doing that stuff myself.

Check-In: JS Strength Interval Walk w/5's

Have a Blessed evening!

yoga class via zoom in the am. Tired from teaching day and also now having a migraine -- we had a big weather change. One of my students got her car tossed by a tornado in OK, but she was not in it, thankfully.

Diana, glad the phone drama is resolved.

Cynthia, I can tell you that Lauren's site is not worth the money.

Cheryl, glad your DH and doggie are safely back.

Lynn, sorry about the migraine. I hope you feel better soon.

I had my water heater flushed today, for which I had to wait hours, and couldn't work out, you know how that is.

So my workout today was walking & getting errands done after the plumber left.

Then I got a flu shot and the shringrix round one.

Decided not to do anything else today in case I get side effects.

HI Everyone!

Cynthia I hope you don't have any problems with the Shingrix vaccine. I have mentioned about one of our Deacons who lives around the corner from me. He got the Pfizer booster and was sick for 3 days. He is just over that and today he got the pneumonia vaccine. Hopefully he won't react badly. Did you get the new quadrivalent influenza (flu) vaccine or the regular one. I was reading about the new one and thought

Check-In: 40 minute walk and JS Standing AB's

Have a Blessed evening!

I had no Pfizer booster side effects. Got that shot 2 weeks ago.
Dunno the exact title of my flu vaccine, I asked for the one that's for over 65, which I've gotten for years. I get all my shots (except the Pfizers) at the Safeway pharmacy. Today I got a printout of what they have in their computer. I know for sure I got the original kind of shingles vaccine there, but it was so long ago that it's no longer in the computer.

barre 3 was down, so I did a Jessica gentle yoga. I also got my "senior" flu shot yesterday. I don't know if it's the same one as what Diana called it, but they were saying it was the "senior" flu shot. Stronger than regular one. The first pharmacy was one of it, but Walmart had it. No problems other than slightly sore arm. I should get that shingles shot too. I got the old kind and need to get the new two-shot better kind. Generally feeling better, but slightly headachy today.

Don't slap me, Diana, but I had no side effects from my shots (senior flu & shingrix). I took advil & tylenol and put a cold pack on my arm yesterday afternoon. Wasn't especially hungry so I had cereal w/ a banana for dinner. Bed at usual hour, slept well.

Heading out soon to sign the re-fi papers.

Back later.
