October Colorful & Fantastic Fall Exercise Challenge!!!

[kathleen27]

Just 4 more days left this month!

Anyone thinking about hosting the November challenge?

You can choose any theme you'd like, and its up to you what you post and how often.
We've had some really fun themes and styles recently, very different every month!

After some very rainy weather, I got in 27 minutes of walking (in light drizzle). Also adding 2 planks.

Checking in. 15 minutes on Monday, and about an hour yesterday. - Estimated because, unfortunately, it was walking around the neighborhood looking for my cat who had snuck out and wandered off.

She did show up on the back deck this morning, but refuses to actually come in. (She runs the other way as soon as we head to open the door.) - Right now, I have the other cat shut up in my room with all her stuff, and the slider open so the skittish one will hopefully come all the way in next time she comes up on the deck. - Keep your fingers crossed for me! (And if you're the praying sort, please keep her in them!)

Keeping you and your kitty in my prayers @PollyannaMom. Unfortunately I know the feeling of a lost pet, I'm so glad yours is hanging around your house.

70 minutes of walking and only made it 1 minute on push-ups. I can't do much upper body with this prosthetic in my shoulder.

Went back to the gym today- I was very nervous about going and that made me even madder cuz I actually was starting to like the gym. My husband goes to the same gym and his perspective is " some people are just a$$holes!" He's right! I marched in with my head held high and did my workout!

Offered to run a few miles with a new lady in our running group. Lo and behold, I managed 5! Most I've run in 6 months

Keep up the efforts, this group is doing great! And getting into routines will make it a bit easier over the holidays to take some time for yourself and work off some of those cookies/pies/mashed potatoes that we're all looking forward to....

I have loved the color theme this month, kathleen27 - great idea!

 

[LizardQueen8]

50 minutes strength training.

@PollyannaMom is your cat normally skittish? I hope it decides to come inside soon!

Yesterday it was so busy at work. Only got in a 45 minute walk and 5 minutes of booty work. I did the booty workout at home, not work though!!

The kitty is home safe!!!

I think the awful rain last night convinced her she did not want to be an outdoor cat after all, and she came out from under the shed and up to me with a little treat-coaxing. She's currently sleeping off her big "adventure".


As for exercise, 30 minutes worth of walking yesterday, and an unknown amount today because that all happened a few minutes into "walking" her sister. I'll guess 7 just to get my numbers back to something round. So that leaves me at:

490/500

Ten minutes to goal, so barring any other emergencies, I'll make it this month! Team totals look awesome, and thanks Dentam for saying you'll host next month.

Thanks as well everyone for the prayers and good wishes for the furry princess!
