What started as a Leslie walk challenge has morphed into a wide variety of workouts and lots of support and encouragement! Join us, if you're looking for a friendly check-in, that's not limited to one type of exercise!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Steps from yesterday: 8,183

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy!

Diana, thank you for starting our month!

Back later.

Later: outdoor walk. It's rainy season, and rain is predicted for the next 8 days, but not all day every day. I got a nice walk done in the early afternoon. Just started raining at teatime.

My post from yesterday never posted, apparently. When I clicked "Submit Reply" it said that the server was too busy. I'm seeing that a lot lately. Fingers crossed that we don't lose VF!

Yesterday I did a lower body strength workout, knee-friendly (although my knees are ok) from Audrey Koomar. Today no workout because early appointments. But yesterday and today got 5-6 miles of walking, so that works.

One thing I like about having a fitness watch is that it shows me how many minutes I get in the fatburning heartrate zone. This helps me to see that my focus on strength training is good, because I'm getting a sufficient amount of cardio just in my life most of the time. And it helps me readjust if I'm not.

We're waiting to hear on the appraisal! Maybe tomorrow, maybe Monday.

Hope you all have a great Friday!

Hi Everyone!

No workout to report. I worked in the church office most of the day doing the first of the month stuff.

Have a Blessed evening!

The Pineapple Express (as they call this atmospheric river/storm system) makes a lot of stops -- at least 3 times today, the weather alternated b/t raining buckets and sunshine. Now it's been clear all afternoon.

Check-in: lap swim.
