  1. Happy Saturday! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!
  2. I did 2.2 miles this morning. I thought an activity this afternoon would involve a good bit of walking, but it turned out to be mostly standing instead. If I still have any energy after the kids are in bed, I'll probably try to do a trampoline workout.
  3. It's Friday! Sorry I'm late with the thread today. These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!
  4. 2.25 miles this morning. And I forgot to mention - I had a Dr appt the other day and a lot of my labs are looking better since I've been losing weight. 😁
  5. Happy Thursday! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!
  6. I usually post after my morning walk but forgot today. I did 2.5 miles this morning, then 3.75 miles this afternoon. Then I talked to my sister on the phone for a while and paced the whole time, and my phone says that was almost 2 miles. 😄 I'm about to do a bit of arm work since I hadn't had a chance to do that earlier.

  10. @Melissa Louise, with high temps and no air conditioning, I do not blame you one tiny bit! Is there a break from the heat in sight? I walked 2.2 miles. I plan to do some trampoline stuff later as well.

  12. Walked 2.5 miles, but it was mostly a pretty lazy day.

  14. It is not your fault. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
  15. I did a 20-minute workout this morning, alternating trampoline and weights.

  17. Yes, we've used the book rather than the online courses, and it's worked well for us. Instruction is included in the text. My girls both also liked watching the free videos on the AOPS website that go along with the prealgebra book (they enjoy RR's humor), but those are not necessary for a kid who's not interested in them. It is much different visually, but neither of my girls seemed bothered by that. Oldest used Math Mammoth when she was younger, and the crowded feel of those pages was very much bothersome to her at that point. But the AOPS Prealgebra book was fine when she started it at age 10. The solutions manual is excellent.
  18. @itsheresomewhere What's the video? I did 3 miles this evening.
  19. Sorry I'm later than usual with the thread - I got distracted earlier when I was about to post it. But here we go! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!
  20. It gets hot and humid here, but air conditioning is the norm. Without AC in the summer, I have no idea what I would do. I hope the early morning yoga works for you!
  21. Thanks for starting this thread, @SeaConquest! Looks like you guys have a lot going on. DD#1 will be in 7th grade for 21-22. Here are my current plans for her: Bible - Starr Meade's The Most Important Thing You'll Ever Study. Math - AOPS Intro to Geometry and then Intro to C&P (books, not online courses). This year she's been doing Intro to Algebra and she'll start Intro to Number Theory in a few weeks, so she may have a bit of that still to do at the start of 21-22. Latin - Wheelock's, second half. History - K12 Human Odyssey volume 3. This one is shorter than the other two, so I will have more room to work in extras...which means I have to work on getting those extras figured out, lol. Science - biology - I'm pretty sure we're going with Miller Levine (macaw). I'm planning to get the lab kit from thehomescientist.com, and I may use The Student Lab Report Handbook (Mays) - I bought a copy but haven't had a chance to look at it. And I expect we'll use a variety of YouTube videos to go along with the instruction as well. Writing - Writing & Rhetoric books 9 & 10. Literature - I am still piecing this together. It will be a combination of mom-selected novels, mom-selected short stories, and poetry (using Art of Poetry). Coding - She has pretty much been teaching herself Python. I think DH might work with her next school year on conceptual things, but we have to talk that over some more. DD#2 will be in 4th grade. Bible - same as DD#1 Math - AOPS Intro to Algebra and then Intro to Number Theory (books). She's actually going to start Intro to Algebra pretty soon. Latin - Lively Latin 2 (should finish this) History - same as DD#1 Science - same as DD#1 Writing - same as DD#1 Literature - mom-selected novels Coding - She will probably just continue with exploring Python on her own. DS will be in 2nd grade. Bible - Suffer Little Children (I really wish it had a different name, lol!), book 2. Math - Beast Academy 3 (books) Latin - Lively Latin 1 (first half) History - Story of the World 3 Science - WTM-style earth science first semester, astronomy second. Using DK First Earth Encyclopedia and First Space Encyclopedia as spines (at least I expect to - I have them ordered!). Writing - probably continuing with copywork and narration. I'll adapt expectations as he seems to need it. Literature - mom-selected books Grammar - First Language Lessons 3 DS has asked me if he can start doing coding; I'm not sure, but that could end up on his list as well. If so, it'll be a course on code.org. DD#2 might ask to add another foreign language. Or some other random thing that I can't even predict right now. 😄 We'll see.
  22. 2.6 miles walked and arm work done this morning.
