though i usually put on some heavy industrial.

[BENESSE]

Two weeks of walking everywhere I needed to go. No cabs, no buses, no subways. 30-40min each way, of brisk walking to work and back, 5 days a week.
Schlepping heavy bags of groceries home several times a week. (Not taking advantage of free deliveries as I did before.)
Stairs, instead of escalators.
Had to allow more time in general but at least I knew how long it took to get anywhere. No uncertainty of being stuck in traffic or underground. Saved money. Felt better. Looked like a fool holding grocery bags straight out in front or to the sides in an attempt to do some weightlifting exercises while walking.
The plan is to make a habit out of all this and see if I can get away with not having a gym membership but reap all the benefits.

Well done B. I went for my first walk in two months yesterday. It was only 1.5 miles, and on side walks, but felt good to be able to move around again. I'm looking forward to getting back to the woods, marshes and beaches

The wife and I did that walking thing this morning, too. It was 9 F and the wind was a little brisk but it was a nice morning.

[BENESSE]

The best part of any strenuous activity (at least for me) is the feeling of self control and accomplishment once it's over. The opposite is also true. I don't enjoy being there.

This song belongs here. It's so true...

I took my Sunday walk/hike. Did 4.5 miles, mostly on sand.

[Winnie]

Today it was 8 months nine days since I stopped smoking. I'm still fat though.

[crashdive123]

Congrats Winnie. Quitting smoking is tough. You done good.

[1stimestar]

Ran 15.97 miles this week. I take the weekends off though.

[Rick]

Congrats, Winnie. One hill at a time. (me, too, by the way).

1stimestar - First, congratulations!! Second, there had better be a bear after me if anyone expects me to run that far.

[BENESSE]

That's AWESOME, Winnie!!! I remember like it was yesterday when you came on and said you were quitting.
As for fat, you can tackle that when you're ready, just like smoking. Now you know you can do pretty much anything if you set your mind to it--one day at a time.

[BENESSE]

... there had better be a bear after me if anyone expects me to run that far.

Or a bake sale in front of you.

Very impressive, and why are you up at 3:15 AM........................?

[Rick]

What are you....my wife? Yeah, well okay. Guilty.

[crashdive123]

Heading to my first PT appointment today at 3:15. Woo Hoo!

[Rick]

High fives! Oh, wait. Better not. Anyway. Good for you.

[Winnie]

Oh no! Not the Physio-terrorists! lol Hope it all goes well.

I order more power butter and eggs today, and am drying out meat as I type. It's cold today so I got the fireplace and the oven working today....

[Rick]

Powdered butter? They make powdered butter? I've never heard of it. I had to google it. Well I'll be darned. Who'd a thunk it?

I've got canned butter from MREDepot but I didn't know they made it in powdered for, too. Cool
