By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I figured if I can do a work out in my home then I could probably handle a little jogging on the trails and was shocked that I was able to keep going at a steady "walk at home" pace for the 30 minutes it took to do the entire loop I usually walk, and I wasn't even winded. I have been trying to reach this level for years and had pretty much given up hope of ever improving, this has been a real game changer for me!
I had to scroll back to see who had recommended Leslie's videos - many thanks to Grandmaofeight!
Still walking halls. Winds finally starting to lessen while warming up.
Since Covid happened a lot of classes have gone to zoom and so I’ve been able to take classes from the best qigong masters around the world without leaving my home.
Movements are gentle and easy and can have great benefits for the body.
I’m in my second round of caregiving so I know what kind of stress that can entail. Beside faith, qigong has been a lifeline for me.
20,000 steps CWillie!!! Really? Good for you.
I'll get on the scales at Easter. I'm hoping maybe I'll fit in my little black dress in time for nephew #4's wedding at the end of April.
I have doubled down on my walking videos in addition to outdoor walks so I'm consistently pushing closer to 20,000 steps per day. I've also mostly given up sugar and bedtime snacks for lent and am trying to be mindful of my regular meals. So... I feel like may be losing but I don't want to jinx things by actually stepping on the scales.
Weight training will actually cause an increase in weight sometimes because muscle weighs more than fat.
My dd who was taking a personal coaching course passed on to me a valuable hint which was to "build a habit" for getting into regular exercise. She learned that the first thing to do was to build the habit of exercise even if you are not doing the intensity or amount of exercise you want to do eventually. Once you have the habit, then you can then build up to the intensity and amount of exercise you want to accomplish. It works for other things too like, for example, drinking more water in a day, or dusting your furniture. I have found it a very useful hint.
So I wrote a short paper about how to increase getting on the treadmill. I have to signal ahead of time (telling my roomies ahead of time that I'll be on it from 9-9:30, setting out my sneakers) and then I have to reward myself with something that I can only obtain from doing it. I decided on watching true crime shows *only* when I'm on the treadmill.
I know the plan would work.
But I happen to be watching true crime on another browser right now. hahahahah That's called bootleg reinforcement or short-circuiting the contingency. Sigh. Habits are difficult to change.
Just thought it was funny and apropos. 🤷
Be careful, CW.
