Walking weather is coming. I can feel it (maybe it's just my wishful thinking lol). Once the mornings become a little cooler I will start back up on my daily walks. I can't wait.

Did my stretching exercises this morning as I do most mornings.

Erin, you can buy goggles that are very tinted-- that coukld help your pool/eye problem.

Dejibo: That was brave to walk in the heat/humidity :)

Ewizabeth: You really got active today :)

TxBatman< What can I say? You are the most active of al of us I think!

tkrik: good for you for stretching. Your autumn is around the corner.

sabimax: 40 degrees? brrrrrrr. Good walking weather though.

I swam 1.1 miles today. Its still very hot here and will be for at least another month.

Yesterday I cleaned the bathrooms and swept and hand mopped all the tiled floors. I also took down the heavy plastic shower curtain liners and washed with some bleach in the water, washed the bathroom rugs too. It was DH's birthday so I cleaned the kitchen twice as well, once in the morning and then after the tasty dinner that our son cooked.

The housework was wayyyyy overdue. Today and tomorrow I want to get the dusting, polishing and vacuuming done as well. I also need to get groceries because we're low on everything.

I also have to file form 1040x for my son today. I hate that form, lol. I work with state of Illinois retail and telecom taxes and employment but the 1040 for the IRS is the pits. I think because of the sneaky changes they make every year, lol.

BBS,

This thread seems to be helping me get more done. I tend to go into neutral mode quite easily.

Thanks for doing this, it helps to check in, for me to keep moving. :)

It rained about 3-4 inches here the last two days, with more to come today and tomorrow so I need to get the indoor stuff done. I can work in the garden this weekend, woo hoo!!! It's supposed to be 58 degrees and sunny on Saturday! :)

Thats great ewizabeth! I was hoping that it would inspire folks to keep moving :) Your housework is amazing.

I swam my mile this morning in 50 minutes. It was very refreshing.

I will be gone Saturday to visit in Atlanta, but back Sunday morning. Keep moving even when I'm not here :)

Still moving..Yeaaaaaaaa!!!:D

I'm not feeling good today. I'll spare the details, but will mention that I have a tummy ache and just feel yucky.

I'm not sure I'm going to do any treadmilling today when my dad gets home from work. I didnt do anything yesterday either. I might tell my dad to go without me.

I havent taken a shower since monday, (ewww!) So, if I can get up the energy to crawl into the shower, I'm hoping that scraping off the layer of dirt and washing my hair will make me feel better. I'm a little dizzy, so I'm waiting for the Meclizine to kick in first.

You should feel wonderful

I begrudingly put on my shoes, and drag my morning butt to the mailbox. He is usually just walking up on it. This morning a neighbor joined in with her two westies. The pace was more brisk than I am used to, but I suppose its good to be pushed a bit.

I am home, wiped, sweaty, tired, and glad its over. There are some days I just DONT want to go! I am thrilled I am up and walking again, but have those slow lane days that I am not motivated.

Tomorrow will be better. it will be great when the humidity leaves us.

You should feel wonderful - I just got back from walking around the block for the first time in about 6 months. I'm with those above who don't want to be caught - dead or alive - in a swimsuit! I've got to pick up the pace, but I'm not sure I can. billie

Erin, you're doing better than me, although this is the second day in a row that I bathed!! I've ordered a footpad that I hope will help me walk better - don't know what the problem is - fat pad atrophy of the foot or something, but in the meantime, no walking until today, when I went around the block - Yay. billie
