WORKING OUT FOR DISNEY

First time I had this pain ( always in my left foot ) my doctor says " Do you drink a lot of port " I wish..However I do like my red wine...Anyway, he says it's called " Rich mans disease " Oh yea..Well the good lord has gave it to the wrong dude..Anyway, the way I look at it, there's always someone worse off than yourself...

Good morning! It is clear and sunny this morning. The birds are all chirping away.
Sorry to hear about your foot, King. Hope it feels better. Congrats on the weight loss. Slow and steady wins the race! Lol
I am getting outside again today. I picked up sticks on our property for 3.5 hours yesterday that fell during the last wind storm!
DH mowed the yard when he got home. I love mown yards! Everything looks so neat.
Anyways getting out to enjoy the day! Before it gets cool again nex week!!
Everyone eat healthy, be happy, and stay active!!

Animatronic birds eh!...LOL..

Exactly!! lol
Weather still holding up around here but cloudy today. I am taking the day off working outside. I need to finish up my TR before I forget about it.
Walking outside everyday. Yesterday, I washed the outside of the house, so I am doing weights today instead. Figured I got my workout doing that yesterday! Everyone have a super-fantastic day!!

Well it's another day of rain.. ...And it doesn't look any better for the weekend..My band were scheduled to play in a outside concert at our town castle on Saturday, along with other local bands..I would say that one won't get off the ground..Diet is still going well..A mixture of veg and meat but smaller portions,and I've been doing a buffet type meal on Saturday nights, instead of the usual takeaway..Anyway..Keep warm and safe brothers & sisters..Keep dancing..

Good afternoon all!! It is cloudy here and a little cooler today. Hopefully, we can get our walk outside done this evening before the rain comes.
Everyone have a safe and happy weekend!!!

So after 3 months of running and dieting and I have managed to lose 21lbs
Just over 6 months and another 28lbs to go which I can hopefully manage before our trip

Great work!!

Well done...In fact ... That's a lot of pounds..I tend to fluctuate ( that's a fancy word ) and bounce just above my preferred weight..But I like a brisk walk..Done a 3 mile one today...Yes,it's actually stopped raining today..It's my beer and eating late at night that is my big enemy..But keep it up..Your doing great...

Thank you

That's fantastic Unfortunately mine is going much slower Keep going strong!

Well today's is Tuesday 8th and it's fresh outside, in fact it's actually Baltic, but sunny...So my DW and I will have a nice 5 mile brisk walk along side our loch later...Tonight is Teppanyaki night with Kofta Kebabs, salad, creamed mash and beans..Keep dancing people...

Yayyyy great news!! You can do it!!

Good morning!!! My DH took a three-day weekend so today seems like Monday to me! Lol
Got some walking in this weekend but mostly worked on our kitchen remodel. We took down the rest of the upper cabinets. We ran to Ikea and ordered my new ones yesterday! They will be here in two weeks. I am soo excited!!
Errands to do today. Then walking this evening. DH late tonight from a meeting so leftovers warmed up for him!
Everybody take care and have a great day!

Good morning! Cloudy and cool this morning.
Walking and weights on the agenda today.
Asian grilled chicken and veggies for dinner.
Hope everyone has a good day! Move it, move it!

Well another Wedensday and another wet day...Tonight I've made cowboy chilli and rice and some nice homemade chilli bread..Keep safe and eat healthy people..

Good morning all! Hey King Fergus, that dinner sounds good! What's in your chili bread?
It dropped down in the 30s last night, but that is what Spring does here. Eating oatmeal with blueberries and watching weather channel. They just showed the Disney weather report. At least someone is having great weather! Lol
My DH came in from work yesterday and asked if we could go back now! Bad when it has only been a couple of weeks and you need a vacation!
After it warms up, mowing the yard and getting some fresh air today. DH's birthday tomorrow so we will be out and about. Keep your fingers crossed! We are tearing down wall between kitchen and living room this weekend. Hope it goes quickly. We are soo excited to see how it opens up the rooms!
Dinner is pasta primavera with lots of grilled vegs.
Hope you have a great weekend and keep moving and happy!!

I make my own garlic butter. I then chop up chillies and add to a blender with a few knobs of garlic butter,and a splash of olive oil...A quick whizz...And spread it on the baguette ...

Ooh gonna try that! Thanks!

That sounds delicious, King!

Today is nearly 70 so DS and I took a walk down to the park to play for an hour. It also looks like I got a decent tan while we were there It feels so nice to have the windows open and hear the birds chirp!!

I've also been walking on the treadmill at the gym every other day, usually on a high incline. I was just doing it to burn more calories than walking flat (and I can't run or jog without huffing and puffing like crazy lol), but my mom pointed out yesterday that it will give me a lot more stamina for walking at Disney, so I'll be ready to go go go!

At first I thought you said you were 70 ..And I thought, no wonder your huffing & puffing..Then I realised it was the temperture..LOL..

Hahaha sorry for that! It was probably quite a sight picturing my 90 year old mother

Okay, I admitted earlier in this thread that I wasn't planning to run in anything, but i was working out to be...well....smaller for the Sept trip. I was doing great! Pilates everyday and 2 mile treadmill or walk every day.
THEN.....

I was in a little bakery we love, just picking up a loaf of rye for DH, when I needed to visit the ladies room. It was upstairs (obviously not handicap accessible) and to conserve energy you turn the light on upon entry. Logic would say, "Walk slowly or better yet - STOP until you see the inside". But I just moved on and didn't see the ceramic STEP in the middle of the small bathroom (I would love to talk to the person who designed this place). I hit it and landed my side into the sink. After three days of growing discomfort, I had it checked -

Results: 2 broken ribs and a third has a hairline crack. Yipee. 4-6 weeks in a rib wrap, motrin (can't take regular pain pills as they make me sick), lots of ice, restricted movement and lifting (duh... the scream and/or moan tells me that).

I played in our local campus band that night (I am the oboe) and the director at one point asked if someone was humming while the piece was being played. I had to admit that was me moaning.....sigh. Trip is in 155 days...divided by 30....crap...about 4 months...to recover and get back in shape.....AND we found our final retirement home and we are moving July 1st and I am playing oboe/english horn for the summer musical. Pray for FAST healing......
Disney never looked so good.

Oh my. I will definitely pray for a complete and "quick" healing. I don't know how you managed to play the oboe that night. You definitely are made of hardy stock milady!

Oh man, OldTink, that sounds ouchy! I'm sure you'll want to be getting ready for the move, but take it easy and heal quick!

Sorry for your accident, between DisneyDoc and you, we are going to have to introduce a new forum category entitled "Recently injured and recuperating".. Seriously hurry up and get well soon.

Good grief tink! What is it with us trippers??

I get you on the rib pain. Mine is just a contusion but it hurts almost worse than the wrist. And those painkillers make me sick too!

Soo sorry for this - please take it easy if you can.

I play clarinet by the way and work for the Atlanta Symphony part time as a floor supervisor for concerts.

oooooh old think that sounds awful please get well some.

In other news saturday morning is our weigh in day and i have lost another 4lbs, only..... 26 to go

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend. It was so beautiful here. But all must end and we have rain on the way and frost for two nights. This is April and I never get by without covering up my peonies at least once every year. Lol
Hope you get well soon, OldTink!
Philhowelldesign, congrats on the weight loss! Way to go!
Walking 4 miles today plus weight workout today. Dinner is grilled veggies and brown rice. Gotta eat healthy since we are visiting DD next weekend and going out to eat.
Everyone try to stay safe and healthy this week. Move it, move it!

I didn't mention that we just signed the lease on our retirement place (a townhouse) near the friends that are going with us AND I had already signed on to play pit orchestra this summer. Disney bubble never sounded so good, although at this rate weight loss may be iffy.
