ElderExercise

ElderExcercise has been a wonderful experience in a couple of ways.  Personally, I’ve had the unusual opportunity to have and idea somewhat outside-the-box that worked.  Of course, that was only possible because Claude thought it was doable–and did the heavy lifting to make it so. On the physical side, it has been a great gift [...]

Have I lost my edge in the ElderExercise world because I’m having too much fun?  Maybe.  It’s also the ongoing changes–moving, more time with extended family, a new place to explore, and–this is a hard bump to overcome–too much time in the car.   Don’t miss all those NYC subway stairs but they did work [...]

Wanting not to beat myself up too much, I return without checking when I last posted.  However, it does seem from my little worn notebook that it was mid-August.  Oh, there was an amazing day August 26–10,969–followed by 9,264 the next day and a record 13,740 on August 28.  Hello, October 2009, from Portland, Oregon, [...]

Ahem, I clear my throat, in my slightly guilty re-appearance.  Just two weeks from today, if we get the right flight, we’ll leave New York City.  Our new place will be a CCRC, continuing care retirement community, in Portland, Oregon. Living in NYC provides a natural environment for walking–to the subway, within the subway. How [...]

Tweendom is a word I’ve recently invented to describe my current state.  Nothing to do with “tweens,” those between teenage and childhood.  No, mine is about languishing in the unfocused world where decisions by others determine my daily life.  Leaves me particularly unmotivated. Being with family in Portland was great:  as if I had a [...]

As I’d indicated earlier, my participation has become rather clunky.  As have I.  This apartment-selling has dragged me down.  Look okay in public but realize I’ve become more dark.  [Note how I do not want to say "depressed."] My apologies for not commenting on all of your efforts.  Truthfully, I could not read here and [...]

Realizing I’ve been an “unreliable” communicator here, I think you need to know that’s how I’ll be for the forseeable future.  We seem to have a buyer for our apartment.  My days are filled with uncertainty, showing the apartment, wondering.  At the same time, it has been a challenge to my creativity and I’ve enjoyed [...]

What a dizzy month.  Pedometer needs new battery.  Got that but set incorrectly.  Finally can report on end of month… April 22…6,000 April 25…7,695 and 1,004 aerobic April 26…5,313 and 1,182 aerobic April 27…10, 749 (my moment in Claude-land) April 28…6,488 April 29…4,507 For several months I’ve been going to physical therapy.  Most useful has [...]

Just here to report.  Early April was alright…getting in steps.  But I did not keep up with my recording of steps.  Today, April 12, only  seven days  recordedof course.  Not a good week for the most part, much pain and my new role as “Real Estate Entrepreneur” is very time-consuming.   Hoping to get back [...]
