Junie Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Walking in water counts. In 2012, that's pretty much the only way I did any walking besides couch to car. Are you anywhere near an indoor pool? FWIW, the deeper the water, the better it feels. 17' with a float belt is awesome! SaveSave I actually love water aerobics. We had a membership at the Y but I had to quit because the water was always too cold (for me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Latin cards done. So,are you making vocabulary cards or what? I'm trying to decide here if this is something I need to be doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love water aerobics, too. I did them last summer through our town's rec department. I slept so well on the evenings I had water aerobics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have reserved that book you were just talking about but I can't remember what it was called, and also the 100 year old man and the window book. My fitbit is charging again so I'm gonna stick the kids in bed and eat some popcorn. Holy cow, what was that noise outside the living room window? Sounded like a racoon climing the screen window. Ahhhh, you will love "The 100 Year Old Man...." It is incredibly entertaining! We haven't had raccoons lately, but we have opossums almost every night if we leave the cat food out.

73349 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Goal for 2018: walk 99 miles Miles accomplished: zero :glare: Every time I finally get myself motivated to walk, the arthritis flares up again. :( Days left in 2018: 316. New goal: .31 miles a day, or about 660 steps a day. Or a whole mile every third day. Go, Junie! You'll get there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 So,are you making vocabulary cards or what? I'm trying to decide here if this is something I need to be doing. And grammar cards. The boys hate me for it, but I run the vocabulary and the grammar cards a couple of times a week anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get there. I used to be able to "run" a 5k on the Wii Fit. So about 3 miles a day. I figure as long as I get started by Thanksgiving, I'll be able to meet my goal. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I’m over having a non housebroken puppy. (For the record I was over having non housebroken babies pretty quickly as well. ). It doesn’t help that it is super cold (for us) right now with lots of cold wind gusts. And it makes me so frustrated when she goes out, pees or poops, comes inside and ten minutes later has an accident. I’m just venting. I knew it was part of having a puppy. And I know it will get better. But I’m tired! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I decided that since I was awake anyway that I would go for a walk and make my step count like Jean because Jean's cool but it's 28 degrees outside and icy so I could die and there are rules against that so I'm having pancakes in bed with a book instead. It's kinda the same thing. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
