Hello, everybody, I’m going to post tonight, even though tomorrow AM is weigh-in time, just because I have the time now and am too tired to do anything else! It has been an intense two weeks…especially last week, when I actually ran intervals outside and enjoyed it! Also contradanced in my great new shoes and [...]

Claude – two lousy weeks
Two weeks ago, I mentioned bladder infection. Well, guess what! Just when I had the feeling everything was back to normal, it came back with a vengeance. I went to the doctor’s who prescribed antibiotics. Some three or four days into the antibiotics prescribed for 7 days, my right knee started to be extremely painful. [...]

Lynn–no change
My goodness, this is getting boring! Had an MRI, am waiting for my appt on Sept. 7th. Knee feels a teeny bit better, thanks to lots of ibuprofen (but my stomach is beginning to protest, so that is not a long term solution), but is still painful with any amount of walking. Still doing leg [...]

Lia- Doing fine
Well, I haven’t posted in a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been a diligent walker… Monday: 1 hour walking Tuesday: 10,483 steps Wednesday: 2 hours 15 min. walking (tried to use my pedometer, but it stopped counting at 7,000 steps and then counted backwards to 5,000, at which pointed I resisted the urge [...]

Lynn–Still waiting
My knee still hurts a lot when I walk. I went for an orthopedic appointment this past Thursday but didn’t learn much. Xrays showed that I have some arthritis in my knees but it’s not severe–so why does my knee hurt so much all of a sudden? I got a few minutes with a nurse [...]

Sara – Back to work, and it’s ok…
Hi, folks, I now have a system for recording to go along with my sparkpeople recording so should be easier. Back to work big time. Hymns for Year A need to be chosen – I’ve done 4 months, 6 months to go. If I do this now I can make decisions about choir anthems for [...]

Nancy – A slow week
Not as active this last week. Tuesday my mother-in-law had surgery for cataracts so we spent the day with her. Her right eye went as well as the left eye; she should be seeing without glasses — except for reading. Wednesday was Sam and my 20th anniversary and we hung out together before going to [...]

Lynn–much the same
Well, the knee is still sore, despite several visits to a physical therapist and PT-prescribed exercises, ice, rest, etc. So, no exercise other than the various leg lifts and stretches I’ve done for PT. This enforced break from exercise makes me realize just how much exercise has become a valued part of my life–even if [...]

Sara – groan, work beginning in earnest…
I’d better post now, while I have a moment – work should have cranked up already but I’ve been procrastinating! Bad news is, I was sick for several days – nothing serious but this virus did hit me rather hard. I’ve been back to normal for a couple of days now. Good news is, I [...]

Nancy – Getting Started Is Slow
I’ve begun to exercise a bit more regularly but I need to get better at writing things down and then uploading what I’ve done. Here’s my list of activities for the last 2+ weeks. Walking and gardening have been my primary activities but I have managed to walk up the stairs to my fifth floor [...]
