 October Autumn leaves of red and gold that crunch beneath your feet,
Pumpkins on front porches, candy corn, and trick-or-treat,
Tart and tangy cider, apples ripened on the trees,
A hint of winter coming on the chilly autumn breeze.
~Anon
Welcome to our October check-in. Glad to see you and hope you say hello!
Everyone is welcome to join. Please don’t be shy ☺️

I am SO TIRED ya'll The massive amount of antihistamines I've been taking for my allergic reaction to clindamycin has got me exhausted. Thank goodness I can start weaning off them tomorrow. I took a nap today cause I couldn't keep my eyes open.
But I also managed to get up and do a 30 min walk.

Glad your ordeal is almost over! |

I've been struggling. I NEVER want to have to take prednisone ever again. I've had so many side effects. Anxiety, rapid heart rate, hunger, a little fuzzy eyes. Thank goodness I tapered to half dose today and tomorrow and then I'm done.
I managed a 30 min walk today.

Hi everyone. I finished last month off with a couple of upper body workouts only, due to my sore toe.
I have to be more careful and stop derailing myself with injuries. The sore toe is almost better and I’m off to a reasonable start with more upper body workouts.
1st - 20 min walk and Jessica Smith - Deep Stretch
2nd - Core Secrets - Upper Body Challenge
3rd - Barlates - Metcon - Cardio Sculpt (lower body focus) it was low impact.
4th - Cathe LITE - Strong Body Stacked Sets Upper
Rhbrand, hoping you have a much better month.
Karla, enjoy your FIRM month. I must get back to some FIRMS soon,

I should be back tomorrow! This cold kicked our butts! Glad you're feeling better! Hope you take it easy the first few workouts so you don't have a relapse. Change your toothbrushes too! 9th The Firm Upper Body Split. I didn't like this workout the first time I tried it a few years ago. I almost gave it away. I'm glad I kept it because I liked it a lot today :-) 10th 30-minute Essentrics |

I finally have something to report!
Today was Yoga Short Forms, 15. I’m off balance and fell over in one pose, but all is ok.

Sorry I've not been checking in. Tried to really reduce my internet time this week. I was being online way to much so I thought it was time to cut way WAY back
Anyway, I've been doing some weight training and a lot of walking.
Found a place that has posted some workouts from Booty by Bret from back in 2018 and 2019 and I downloaded them. Gonna try those for a couple months to see how they are.

Rhbrand - I like to take internet breaks, too!
After last night’s falling debacle, I decided to try a new-to-me workout Jessica Smith Gentle Yoga for Back Pain and Prevention, workout 1. I can’t imagine doing this one with actual back pain, but it’s very gentle. I just found that there are lots of transitions between standing, sitting, floor, and lying supine that might be a challenge when my black is flared up. I do like the workout though and I’ve loved Jessica’s music in all of hers that I’ve done. I’ll try the second half tomorrow.

Glad everyone is on the mend and feeling better :-)
I've been doing a lot of yard work. It's 5:00 and I'm already ready to hit the hay. So tired. I've been planting flowers and weeding. It was so hot & humid here this summer that I got behind on my yard work. I don't do well in the heat for very long.
Yesterday was just a 20-minute YouTube stretch with Cheryl. Today was the Firm Tortoise. It felt good to work up a sweat. Only problem was I did it right after walking the dogs and forgot to bring in a bottle of water. I was afraid to stop and get a bottle because I might've plopped down on the couch instead of finishing the workout.
