IMPORTANT NOTICE to the Movers and Shakers

[JACKIE1-25-15]

Good Morning Movers and Shakers.  Today is a new day. I hope everyone is feeling great.  My body take a few minutes to get MOVING.  So I am having coffee right now and planning how I am going to MOVE. I have been invited to a state of the art gym at NASA.  So I am forgoing my morning EXercise and wait.  Anyway let’s get PUMPED up no matter what we are going to do.

 The second order of business is to set the record straight.  I did not initiate this challenge.  I merely posted because there was no activity since it had been suggested by jdesco311   I haven’t seen them lately and it appears that I have been “unofficially” appointed to head this up mainly because I want to keep it going.   On that note….this is not a one wo/man show.  This is a group.  It is about all of us. 

 The third order of business is to help eliminate confusion.  It has been suggested by Giulia to post the challenge in one place.  To keep it simple we will post the challenge in _https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/exercising-and-health/blog/2017/06/08/lets-get-moving-chal... . This in no way limits the conversation when someone post about their move. If you would like to blog, comment, have a conversation, post pics whatever is going on in your MOVE feel free to engage in any shape form or fashion under the group Exercising and Health.   To also help,  if I start a conversation the link will also be in the post.Let's Get Moving Challenge .

 I AM PUTTING THIS OUT HERE AGAIN.  If you have suggestions to make this better, please feel free to let me know.  If you want to remain confidential you can inbox me and I will open a discussion.  The idea is to keep this MOVING.  Agreed.  

There are four challenges each week to meet.  The challenges are at your own pace.  If you want to do more that is up to you.  Do the best you can at whatever you do.  The most important thing is to be safe. NOW LET’S GET MOVING!!!!.

CHALLENGE #1 WEEK 3..... 

[Pops]

Good morning Jackie,

I was thinking of you yesterday....what else in new...right? lol  

Anyway, I purchased a new bed, and I needed to get the old Cali King mattress out of the apt before my new one comes.  Keep in mind, this mattress is a 12 inch deep pillow top...and it weighs about 150 pounds!!! ugh....so me being the stubborn and private kind of guy that I am....I refused to call friends for help.  So....I wrap two (2) eight foot long straps around it & proceed to drag it out of my apt, and out through the door and down the sidewalk, to the street!  OMG, you should have seen me wrestling with that behemoth!  I looked alot like you did pulling that tire with that chain...(at least that is the way that I felt).  I drug that mattress down the hill in the middle of the street to the trash bin area about 300 yards away.  After I got there, I needed to stand it on end and shove it deep on top of the pile of other bulk trash out there.  Meanwhile it was 91 degrees "hot" with high humidity....

My neighbors must have thought (God only knows what) lol???  Straight out of Grapes of Wrath....

I thought that I was going to faint in the middle of the road lol....at least I would be able to lay down on a bed if that happened....

So, I think that I am done with my moving and shaking for a couple of days.....lol.

Pops 391 Days of Freedom Woo Hoo !!!!

[Giulia]

Not to worry, Jackie, you are not required to be in charge of this.  But your enthusiasm sure is catching.  That's why everybody jumped in with you!  

[JACKIE1-25-15]

WelI if you want guns like mine. LET'S GET MOVING.  

[JACKIE1-25-15]

Not a problem just want to make sure as you suggested that there is some type of order going forward.  A personalities do that.  lol

I decided to take today off (well, NANCY'S idea of a day off!) at least from the yard work , so I cleaned out the frig, then went to the pool where I read and water walked for two Adult Swims =  30 minutes.  Not counting what I did in the water, I have done 3,130 steps and crutched about 6 blocks' worth.  I cleared all the plants off of the ledges and surfaces of my porches, put all the cushions inside because they are calling for wicked storms.  So far all we've had is a little thunder and some SIGNIFICANT rainfall...which is OK because it was really dry here.  Weeding was akin to digging in cement!

Life is GOOD!
