Any virtual workout buddies out there?

Wow, you must be in fabulous shape to walk that distance in that heat Deb.

Well I went to my pcp today and he gave me a script for 40 mg Lipator,says my chlorestral is high. ( It has been for years ) I saw my cardio dr. last week and he said my good outweighs the bad so he isn't worried about it. I had the pharmy put the script on hold. Then I came home,put a sweat band around my waist and walked almost 2 1/2 miles up and down hills in the park in about 90 degree weather. I'll probably get on the scale tomorrow and gain 2 lbs. !!

'Twas a tad toasty today. I think we topped out at 93 today. Was well up into the 80s when I took my walk today.

Just a heads up, there are lots of apps that can track exercise with friends. Strava, Myfitnesspal, Fitbit are a few. I did not read the thread so this might have already been mentioned. But I have been getting fitter and my work buddy and I have a competition to see who can get the most workout minutes in during the month. The qualifier is that you have to be working out, it is not a little walk, but you have to be pushing your limits. Anyway my 2 cents

I've finally gotten back into the swing of things after being a slug for a few weeks. Walked about 3 miles daily 6 of 7 days last week. Just finished 3 miles this morning. Feeling better, but still afraid to step on the scales...

Continuing the routine of walking most days. Also spent a lot of time in the gardens last week in the heat. I was pretty tuckered over the weekend, but could do what I needed to do as we entertained old friends here Saturday.

I've printed out a copy of NikkiNicole's 30-day ab challenge. I'm going to start after I get back from vacation (penance??) and see how it goes toward shrinking my waistline. BTW, I think Nikki is a beast if she did this whole challenge!!

[Pete]

Well, I'm continuing to walk 2 - 3 miles 4 - 6 times a week. But, I haven't started the ab challenge yet. At any rate, I feel better now than I did just before I got sick. The golf game is coming around -- slowly. Just gotta remember tempo (Don) and let the club do the work (Irish).

That's great, Pete, especially the part about you feeling better than before you got sick. I don't need to give golf a second thought.... but the walking, that is a great example for me. Ab challenge? Guess I missed that or forgot about it.... better look back, I guess...

Gonna be out of commission for a few days. Tweaked my back a little while moving stuff around downstairs yesterday and really aggravated it when I stumbled getting out of my easy chair this morning. Got a chiropractic adjustment this morning and have been using ice, heat, and ibuprofen to calm things down. Been over a year since the last episode...
