Ahh, Chris that is so sweet of you to pop in on Sunday. I noticed too that you had and you don't usually .

I use barkeeper on stainless steel sinks . I will have to give the other a try.

Well I have a day and a half today. Raining all day here and we went out to go to Meijers for some groceries and pulled out the drive way and I told DH that something was wrong with the car . Oh yes we had a flat tire . The only good think about it was it didn't happen on the interstate. Soo since DD has car I had to walk over to sons (he works nights and was still asleep) to borrow his air pump. Got the tire pump up and took it the our Mechanic and he fixed it right away . A piece of metal in it. So all is good now still behind in unpacking and no structured workout but been running around today so I will count it as exercise

Tomorrow a workout for sure , but I think I already told you that I left dumbbells in Bama . Priced them today and will not be buying any . 1.00 a pound . Will make good with bands and lighter weight . May do body some good with a change. LOL

Chris, us too, here a double stainless sink and the one side has peeling on it...just can't seem to get it off. Will try the Mr. Clean.

Don't know what barkeeper is, Bama....enlighten me.

Glad you got to the store Bama, but sorry about the flat tire and having to walk in the rain.

Yes weights are expensive and I like bands too. Oh and you can take a water bottle if you have one and fill it up good (or larger one is even better) fill it up and use those and cans too as weights. Had to use those after rehab as didn't have the strength to use any of the weights we had brought from Lousy (only 5 and 10 pounders and way too much for me back then....sad but true!....killed me since I used to lift 40s and 50s and press in the low 100s.

Oh to be young again NOT NOT but healthy yes.

Well off to meds breathing and nap time.

Shopping tomorrow, so wish us luck...

You can use books to train with also.

Yo use a couple of small thick books or equal size for small muscle and some bigger thick books of equal size to train with for bigger muscle groups

However a free weight setup is always preferable to a dumbbell setup as you can have more flexibility and it's almost certainly cheaper as well, when you need to upgrade what you have.

Thanks Bossman , I saw something at Walmart that I might pick up . I have 5 and 8 pound ones here so I'm not at a complete loss.



Sue see if I can post this

Good Morning All,
Last night was monday rest night. We have heavy rain here and so there will be flooding in low lying areas and basement. Not to worry though ours is a dirt floor basement and the sump pump is all set up and working fine (and has been for more than a week). We always get some flooding at this time of year since we are in the valley with the river. Some years worse than others.

Good luck with your shopping today Sue!
BBL!

Good morning all,

Sending good shopping vibes your way today Sue,


Chris I remember a dirt floor basement growing up with Mom and Dad . We also got rain water somewhere in the basement to wash our hair in. I was very young but I remember Mom going down into the basement to get some when time for washing the hair. LOL

No workout for me today either . Plenty of things still to do here but will start back tomorrow .

Sometimes I feel it is good to take some time off. Confuse the body.

On the house side of things the bed making habit is sticking well and we haven't missed a day. I am keeping kitchen sink shiny. Now to slowly add all the rest.

Hope you had a good workout last night Sue.

Sue good luck with shopping! Hope you get your workout in.

[chriscandothis]

Hey all,
I was feeling a bit bloated yesterday after supper so no ab exercises. I did get out and have brisk walk though. I wanted to rake leaves but I am not supposed to do that yet so I set out for a walk to keep from doing that. I walked for 45 minutes and only needed a light sweater. We had a lovely day yesterday.

Sue sounds like you had a good shopping trip.

BBL!

[Alabama 1]

Chris great on that walk . I am anxious to get down to the local Dam this weekend . Lots of walking trails .

Sue great buys on the Peppers. One of favorite foods. I bought some mini ones at Aldies yesterday . They have some good buys.

Shopping ship was GRRRREEEEEAAAATTT!

Is that some sort of ship you can buy stuff from, because when I used to go on family holiday's to France on the cross channel ferry, that shop was just called the duty free shop and the ferry was never called a shopping ship
