Played golf but I was terrible. Still fun though even with the heat humidity and bugs.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Yes Sally, It is a nice break from the asphalt and your mind is on that crummy little ball that never seems to go where you want it to, so you aren't thinking about the steps/ Funny thing though--I go half the distance of my usual walks and it takes 50% more time. And it leaves me exhausted the rest of the day if I do 18 holes.

But I don't have my elliptical here or a pool like I have in China so I figure it is a good way to put some variety into my exercise schedule. And the DH plays so I figured as an empty nester it would be something we could do together once I get a little better.

My prayers are with your grandson and family, Char.

It's pretty hot today, and it's been a little slow at work. I'm by myself, so I've been jogging around the office in the a/c. Hope a customer doesn't sneak up on me!

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Char... how'd Ryan's scan go?

Caryl...I hear you re jogging around the office! I sometimes jog on the spot at home, when doing certain chores (which get done really badly because of it!) and I always think that if anyone saw me they'd think I was a total nutcase!

Jill... may take longer, and that little ball may go wherever, but it still sounds fun! Nice to do it with your DH too.
Not a game for me though. I only tried golf once... I'd better not talk about it though... people laughed for weeks!

char, i hadn't posted since ryan had his scan but i did read about it and said a prayer. how did things turn out? does the big machinery and the chemo scare this little 2 yr. old?

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Thank you all for the prayers...now it's a wating game the worse kind ever...it could take a week..my daughter waits for that damn phone to ring..it controls your life.
jimmie they have to put I don't know if this is right but isatope through his body the day before, it makes things light up green on the scan then he goes in the next day and they put him out. its a long scan I think it takes an hour and a half ..My daughter Chontell said they left the childrens hosp..this time with Ryan high fiving and a big ba bye even after all that... kids are incredible.. as for the chemo he's been done with that for quite awhile and can't do anymore unless it starts to grow.It's very frustrating.

Hi, Sally! I didn't get caught, got quite a few steps in, and didn't fall asleep because it was so quiet, so it was all win/win.

Miniature golf is about my limit of golfing, and I'm really bad at that.

Gotta go to Amarillo and bond with ex-in laws. See ya later.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

char, i think you said it right about the isotopes. it's great the ryan gets along so good with things. he's probably done better than me. LOL

it's raining AGAIN! sheeesh
there will be no walk tonight. the trail is getting quite muddy from all the rain. i've ended up better than last week, so i'm happy with that.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Well I didn't exercise walk today. A friend came down and we went out to the "you pick 'em" farms in South Jersey and I picked fresh green beans, snow peas, dill, cilantro, cabbage, lettuce, blueberries ....the list goes on. Felt like I had worked out when we finished but it was beautiful countryside and those veggies will taste sooo good.

I made it this week. Will up goal to 49,000 next week.

Bonding with ex-in laws went well. Amazing how grandchildren will change attitudes of grandparents.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Jill... picking veggies is a great way to workout! And you get to eat them afterwards... delicious! A win win situation.

Just couldn't bring myself to do so much in the humidity and temps up in the hundreds.

For next week, I still won't lower my target... if I keep it there, there's more likelihood I'll have some incentive to do more, and every extra step counts!

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Ow wow, I have been walking all month without a goal in mind....hmmmm... will have to think about a goal for next month.
