Gym is Open (Friday)

I'm taking off today for a long weekend trip to central Utah to Capital Reef.  Will be doing lots of hiking! I won't be opening the gym.  Please open for the weekend if you want! Have a great one everyone! Lori

Have a nice weekend, Lori!  I just don't have the hiking bug, maybe I will in the future. I did 20 minutes on the armbike today.  My sibling decided to go to the rec center last night, so I did 30 minutes of reverse armbike in addition to what I had done earlier in the day.  My shoulders sure felt it today, which is why I only did 20 minutes.  I'll do more later if my sibling decides to go after work.

Kix, I haven't had the hiking bug in years!  Like 25 years or so.  I've been afraid to try it.  Even though I didn't do as well as my hiking mates I did pretty darn good.  I was telling my trainer at the gym that my goal is not to be able to lift more or show off at the gym, my goal is to be able to do more in my life.  I guess I'm achieving that goal.  Feels great.  It is so freaking beautiful in Capital Reef that it is inspiring as well. I think the point is for all of us is to do what we can when we can.  And you are doing that! Lori

Have a great weekend Lori! So far today, I haven't been to the pool, BUT dh and I did chaperoned a gradnite event to Disneyland last night/this morning from 11pm to 6am.  We did LOTS of walking!  I didn't wear my pedometer, but the walk in and out of the park from the parking structure took over 20 minutes each way.  They don't run the tram service on GradNite events.  We had fun, got home at 7:30 this morning, and just woke up. We do plan on swimming tonight.

Wow Jennie, An all nighter!  I don't know how I'd handle that.  I'm sure you got some serious walking in.  Wear that pedometer every where!  It is great to watch the steps add up. Lori

Enjoy your trip, Lori. Not too sure what's on tap for exercise today.  To be honest, I have awful cramps, so there may not be much activity.

Hope you are feeling better Tracy.  The bad news is, once you are done with the menstrual thing and the cramps, you get to put up with hot flashes.  That is where I'm at!

Hi, I put the baby in his stoller and walked a mile around my neighborhood. Hope you have a good weekend.

Diana, I live in a neighborhood full of mormons.  It is part of their religion to have lots of kids.  This one woman who lives a couple of blocks from me is in her early 30s and has about 6 kids.  I've been watching her walking around the neighborhood pushing strollers for years!  She has kept her figure!
