Sara – also so…so…so…

Responding to Claude’s gentle nudge here!  I am a bit late also.  No dancing yet this week but I am going with some friends to a “dancing” at a restaurant which is a sort of Oktoberfest, with a German band called The Bavarian Stompers.  There will be lots of polkas, which is a very energetic jumpy three-quarter time dance.  Probably the Pennsylvania Polka, always a favorite up here!

Sun. Oct. 19 – 6485 steps (2022 aerobic), 148 calories, 2.25 miles; 100 reps cardioglide.

Mon. Oct. 20 – 7655 steps (3575 aerobic), 191 calories, 2.65 miles – out to dinner, ate fish and yummy cheese biscuits… 🙂

Tues. Oct. 21 – 6635 steps (3674 aerobic), 149 calories, 2.30 miles, 200 jumps on the indoor trampoline

Wed. Oct. 22 – 9000 steps (3866 aerobic), 207 calories, 3.12 miles.

Thurs. Oct. 23 – 3601 steps (0 aerobic), 93 calories, 1.25 miles. 

Fri. Oct. 24 – 9126 steps (6134 aerobic), 210 calories, 3.16 miles.  Ended the day with fried green tomatoes!

Sat. Oct. 25 – 6489 steps (3992 aerobic), 150 calories, 2.25 miles, 110 reps cardioglide.

Well, maybe not so awfully so…so!  I just like it when I can break 10,000.  But then, Penn State beat Ohio State for the first time in 30 years, so one of these days I will be able to do a bit more. 

Our singles club here is having an “introduction to the gym” party next Saturday at a gym near me, with finger food and demonstrations.  so I may end up joining the gym again.  I haven’t really missed it…but with the weather occasionally very rainy and unpleasant, it might be good to have that option.  We shall see!

I think I actually managed to put that little picture in!  Yay me!  Happy walking, everyone!

Claude – so so week

I’m one day late, and have no excuses 😉 Only it was medical week, and I was away for two days and visited with my friend Annik, and luckily we had nice weather.
Anyway, here goes
Sat Oct. 18: 10,000 steps
Sunday Oct. 19: felt lazy and just went to the market. So this was only 3,000 steps

Choosing mushrooms

Monday Oct. 20: a rather good day since I went for a medical exam which turned out ok. My previous gynecologist had “diagnosed” a cyst on my left ovary that she recommended I had removed 😦
Going to a specialist was well worth it. It isn’t a cyst but some sort of scar and there’s no point in touching it as it is totally innocuous… When dealing with doctors, it’s sometimes good to trust your own instincts!
So I celebrated by walking 14,800 steps, (6200 aerobic steps)
Tuesday Oct.21 was mammogram day 😥 I hate mammograms. But the doctor gave me a clean bill of health so it’s all right. She was so late that I missed my Feldenkrais class 😦 and as it was pouring, I only managed 5,240 steps
Wed. Oct. 22, we went to Beauval Zoo (I love zoos) and walked 6,720 steps none of them aerobic, as I stopped to photograph animals!
Thursday Oct 23, we went shopping! I bought the greatest bag to hold my swimming attire. But mind you, I haven’t been to the swimming-pool two Mondays in a row. Tomorrow?
Still, we walked 8,000 steps
Friday Oct 24, I had my one-hour stretching class. I usually go walking after that, but I just had to take a day’s rest. So no walking on Friday.

Remember everyone! We have all agreed to post once a week! Nudge, nudge…
