Hey, everybody. My mom came for a last-minute visit last Friday, and I've only gotten in 2 gym workouts since. I just dropped her off at the airport (it's still 5:40 AM here and I'm back home already), so now my "regular" gym sessions can continue -- I hope -- unless my work decides to send me to the Yukon or something LOL.

I haven't yet caught up with this thread, but I intend to do so later today. Missed you guys!!! :-)


Tuesday, August 3 -- 60 minutes (Super Step)

Wednesday, August 4 -- 75 minutes (15 minutes cardio, 60 minutes weights, stretch with trainer)

Mak1, same here with seeing the regular exercisers on my route. It makes the walk go faster to see the familiar faces.
Dahli, good to see you posting!
Yankee, hope you had a good visit with your mom.

08/05 - The Firm: Parts - Ballroom Aerobics = 45 minutes

Have a splendid, frolic-filled weekend, everyone. TGIF! Today is the exact mid-point of summer and I have an adventure planned for tonight-to-tomorrow.

P.S. Hmm...I hope Hermione feels okay. Maybe she ran off with the Greek God.

8/5 -- 60 minutes (Hi/Lo Cardio class)

I wasn't going to go today cause it's pouring (it's a 15-minute walk to my gym), but someone in my building told me in the lobby this morning that I was looking "great and fit lately" and asked me what I've been doing. So of course that gave me the motivation to go! It's funny how those little things can keep you going sometimes :-)

LOL Lance, you are and it's obviously paying off! Keep it up.

8/6: 0
8/7: 35 minutes, yoga, abs

I've been busy decluttering my basement, and it's looking much better!
Calamity, I hope you had a good time!
Wow, Yankee, you came back with a vengeance, lol.
HERMI, I hope you'll be back soon. I've been watching The 4400, and it makes me a bit nervous when anyone disappears! (of course, if you haven't seen that show, you have no idea what I'm talking about, lol)

08/09 - BalletPilates = 50 minutes
08/10 - Strength & Grace = 45 minutes

Mak1: Thanks! I went with three friends on an all-female group canoeing trip. There were about 20 other women (ranging in age from teen to mid-50's) including several instructors. We had first aid & outdoor safety training Friday evening and basic canoeing instruction early Saturday morning, followed by a long canoe ride that lasted 'til early afternoon. Btw, one of the woman who shared our canoe brought a wireless laptop! Everyone did great and my banged-up toe didn't hamper me at all. My arms were aching after a couple hours of paddling & steering though, lol. But it felt good, you know what I mean? The weather was almost perfect, just slightly overcast. Among the wildlife we were lucky to see were a family of great blue herons and a coyote.

Btw, the pedometer I bought a few weeks ago? Grr. After all I went through to set it to my stride length I've discovered a major problem. It seems the mechanism that senses your steps was calibrated for the gait of a kangaroo. (Do kangaroos have gaits? Make that a grizzly bear's gait.) I may be klutzy but I do step lightly - even with the toe, lol - and when I tested it by padding across the floor, the d*mn thing registered one freaking step. You practically have to stomp to get it to pick up every step. It seems like that to me, anyway. Drat.

Yankee: (Going back to your Friday post.) Those out-of-the-blue compliments can really make your day, can't they? Good for you!

8/10: 75 minutes, walked and mowed lawn

Calamity, that sounds like so much fun! Yeah, I know what you mean about that good kind of muscle ache, lol. It lets you know you've done something good.

ROFL @ kangaroo gait! I know my pedometer needs to be directly over my hip to be most accurate, and it doesn't count well on a loose waistband.

8/9: 60 minutes (Power Core class)

8/10: 0 minutes. Skipped the gym because it was way too hot and of course my gym has no a/c. The class I normally go to is at 5:30, which is about the hottest time of the day here right now. So I couldn't do it.

Calamity-- I agree with Mak1, that sounds like a LOT of fun. Good for you! I wish I could have come too. I just picked up a brochure for an excellent kayaking facility in Deep Cove, and I'm thinking about doing something with a group there soon too. You've inspired me!

Here's an idea -- maybe someday we can have a TVCH spa or outdoor activity (like kayaking or hiking or canoeing) get-together!!
