Hi Gina! Actually, I do. I try to work out 4-5 times a week. Usually, I go to a class at our localy gym, but sometimes I just walk my dog.

No, and I really need to get into the habit. I go through phases and I always feel better when I am in "exercise" phase.

I used to but then got out of the habit. I think once the summer heat is over I will be able to go out and walk more.

For the last 7 months - YES! Wow! It feels good to say that after too many years of being too sedantary.

Eight days a week, baby! Actually, I've been doing it all my life so I feel much worse when I'm not exercising. It's as much a part of my daily life as brushing ze teeth.

Well, I walk the dog every day, but that's not much sometimes, because I can find some good excuses for mighty short walks.

We walked and swam a LOT in Hawaii, and I was sure I would have lost a few lbs, but you know what? Eating in restaurants every damn day is FATTENING. So I gained weight. Ugh.

SO. Starting Tuesday, I started getting up a bit earlier, and exercising 1/2 hour to a show on FitTV, then I take the dog for a long walk. Nice. This morning, I added a short (15 minute) yoga practice to my routine as well. That's partially for flexibility and strength, but mainly to help with stress and grief. The exercising all helps with those, actually.

I try to get in four or five days a week at the gym or running, but it is totally dependent on the kids' schedules now that they are too big for the jog stroller.

I'm desperately trying to get back into the habit. Two weeks ago, I managed 4 times. This past week, once. Hopefully I'll do better this week.

I used to walk 4 to 5 days a week. Now, I'm tired in the morning and too busy in the evenings. Hopefully after the wedding, I'll be back into the swing of things. I'll be in a better neighborhood to walk now :)

BAH. I used to belong to a gym, and I lifted weights and walked the treadmill three days a week. But one day I was sick of it, and that was that. Now I think my circulation has slowed down to a slow crawl.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
