Well, I do love walking, but it's not really practical here to go walking outside because it rains so much of the time. I need something I can do inside on the days when it's rainy (which is most of the time). If it snows 3 times a year here, that's a lot. I do love snow, though I don't like the cold. But when it DOES snow here, it rarely sticks for more than a couple of hours. Then it's just a slushy, muddy mess. Not prime walking conditions. I want low impact because of my hip, at least until I get in better shape and see how my hip holds up. But I HAVE to have something I can do inside and I need to build up because I haven't been able to do much for the last 8 months.I wish I had some good suggestions for you. In my case, all I really like is walking--especially walking in the woods. Being outdoors makes me happy and I never get bored, because there's always something different to see. Winter is really fun with the snow; I like traipsing through it (I don't like ice, but I love snow). Actually I do get some upper muscle workout in winter when I shovel snow, too.Sometimes, in spring or fall, I'll ride my bicycle one day on the weekends. During the work week, I walk a lot, too, between public transportation connections, and I sometimes I walk around a lot at work in different locations. That's about it for me.
I don't do the exercise videos like you and Figgy do. Maybe @figmentfan423 might have some suggestions for you, as you two tend to mix things up with exercise videos at home.
Sounds like a decent workout to me!! Yard work is always hard on the body.
I've found changing things up has helped and lots and lots of low carb veggies are the best things for those nasty plateaus. BTW they're going to happen from time to time no matter what you do so don't give up sometimes your body just has to reset itself and the more you lose the longer it's going to take for weight to come off. The smaller the body the less calories it's going to use so that's why it's important to build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat. Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones is good for building muscle and I think it's now on youtube. You might want to do some hiit once you're up to it. LS has a one mile interval on youtube and she has a few walk to the hits on dvd. As always check with your doctor.
Way to go!!!!!!!!!!! That's quite a bit of work and you and your property are looking so much better for it!
It's not like I get to sit on my bum and watch movies today
Today is the perfect day to get lots of cooking done so I have an easy week in that department Baked beans, I'm trying a white bean mayo for the cole slaw, carrot salad(not exactly cooking), stuffed eggplant, green salad and my dh is running the smoker, pork butt, sausage, tofu bacon, and some chicken. I'm also staring at about 10 pounds of tomatoes, I'm going to have to figure out what to do with some of them. Have an excellent rest of your weekend
To be honest, I probably won't really even know when I plateau...at least not for a while. I'm not paying attention to weight. I haven't weighed myself, I'm purely going by measurements and how my clothes fit. But I measured my waist the other day and I was down an inch, so it IS working. Definitely not up to doing Hiit yet!
I don't like working out in front of my husband, either. Or when repairmen are there...it is really awkward and I don't do it either. You'll get back to it when the work is done!
It was like a cat hearing an electric can opener. I started doing yoga while he was at work. 
And you're right--it 's not just the pounds you see on the scale, it's how your clothes are fitting, too.
Here is my last pork butt. It pulled great, was nice and moist and tender with a good smoke ring, but I only took one photo to send to my brother, then we were busy eating. It went for almost 13 hours at 225-230 degrees to an internal temp of 198 degrees. Made bbq pulled pork sandwiches on bagels. I was really surprised how good the sandwich was with bagels instead of regular buns. Just toast the bagels and put a little butter on it, add the pulled pork, a bit of bbq sauce (but not much as it does not need much sauce), a bit of coleslaw (OK, a lot) and a couple of pickles and you have one tasty bbq sandwich. I could have eaten more than one easily, but too many carbs in those bagels to do that.Seeing it's raining it's my weekly zen day, nothing but day 13 of 30 days of yoga
Congrats and way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think measurements are a much better way to track progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You may want to hold off getting summer clothes for a while!
I'm the same way about dance workouts, me and mt 6 left feet only do them in private with no video equipment around!!!!!!!
Just like your. About 13 hours, sorry no pics the vultures got to it first
Food pics in my house are hard to come by.
