Let's Get Moving Part 3

[JACKIE1-25-15]

'The original idea was to "get moving" at least 4 times a week, staying accountable to each other.  Post your accomplishments in the comments. This is the original blog link if you would like to clarify the guidelines

Let's Get Moving Challenge - EX Community.   Any activity counts, as long as you get off your butt and get your heart pumping.  Who knows, maybe we'll lose a little weight or a couple of inches in the meantime.  I hope placing it in discussions this time will work better than a blog post where there were so many entries and becomes harder to locate.  Let's see if we can keep it on the board often and easy to find. 

I believe we got sidetracked when I suggested doing other challenges and those challenges were not conducive to everyone. My fault. Lesson learned.  So I am hoping we can get back to doing what "you" do instead of a specific routine.  Got it?.   In the previous post, there were a lot of comments to go through to come up with this list of who participated.  Hopefully, it will catch on again.  Of course, sometimes we got off topic which can happen.  This post really kept me motivated and we had a lot of fun while learning a lot from each other with over 2519 comments on the first blog and 1072 Let's Get Moving 2018 - EX Community  on second blog comments. So let's Get Moving Part 3!

Great!  Let's see if I can help get the ball rolling AND perhaps bring back some people who haven't been around much in a while:

I've been riding my bike every other day, except I took the past two days off.  And it's raining today.  Your timing couldn't be more perfect.  Think I'll hit the upstairs gym later as it's raining.  You spurred me on, lady.  Thanks!

Miss you @Giulia , @Youngatheart, well something is not working here. @YoungAtHeart .  I guess it is me.

Amazing day yesterday. I went back to aquatics class at the pool. I've been walking religiously during the past year, but I miss my friends at the pool. I visited the Rec Center Monday to check out their safety measures; they passed with flying colors. I gave them my shiny new Silver Sneakers card and re-joined on the spot. Tuesday, I attended class and it was great. The sweet smell of chlorine made me so happy! 

In time, I'll swim laps again, but it's been a long time.

I wish I lived near a pool.

Me too.

Course I wish a lot of things. 

It's sucky today.

Some of who you are responding to may not be active here anymore but still good for you for posting.

Quitting can suck in those early days , but it will get better . Glad you came here , we would love to have you join in with us , moving and walking if you are able .,All  these things could help you through the waves of feelings . Congrats on choosing to quit smoking , you have what a week down now , that’s awesome and some of the hardest fought days .. don’t look back .

I got the cutest dog EVER with a lot of energy to burn. I walk him at least 2 miles, twice a day!
