_______________________________________
MY LEG ROUTINE
1- Toe taps (when i remember) (just tapping toes in shoe, not moving the whole foot) and also - /
1A. toe raises aka calf raises (one is just a stretch, the taps and i don't always do them) toe rasies (going up on tippy toes and back down) strengthens the calf
2- a squat stretch that looks like this, but i raise my toes more and stretch onto my heels more, i like to do this after the toe raises:
3- Lunges, but in place where i always bring my leg back to standing position. i do each side like 10-12 reps and 3 sets each (takes awhile, good exercise)
4- Split squat (still working on my range with this and it's much harder than the lunge above for me), another type of lunge but i end on my kneecap area (i do it on a mat and don't press hard on the knee) ...it's a mix of squat / lunge. i do this in place also:
https://www.spotebi.com/exercise-guide/split-squat/
5- Squats, sometimes only with body weight and sometimes with 30-35 pound bars that i own
Each of the exercises above i like to try for 3 sets, with 10-12 reps each.
6- Ricky was showing me work for my hamstring, when i hold onto something in front of me and do a back kick to work my hamstring/butt like a ballerina, i sometimes forget it, but trying to remember to add this into my routine :) : (but without the band below)

_______________________________________
Things I want to do today / time pending:
- donate clothes and variety of stuffed animals
- buy door hooks from local hardware store so i can hang the coat i use all the time on the back of the door for easy access and not a mess in the closet :) Ricky's idea
- Leg Routine (above) and Abs routine since i didn't do it yesterday
- get on stationary bike if i have time
- organize fridge / cook bok choy ?

Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Glad to hear you are using your bike. It's a great way just to stretch out the legs, move the hips.
I forget what you had planned for today - was it an Indian dance? Or a concert? (I thought the concert was last night... Oh my, my mind...)
I’m still nervous with the pigs but it’s getting better :-)

Edit: adopted the 2 brothers for the price of 1 and got some accessories I purchased like a nail clipper / brush - but they won't be used for awhile until the piggies are more comfortable with me.
___________________________________________________
Today i hope to adopt 2 guinea pigs, depending how they act. otherwise, i will look into purchasing just one and not adopting the two that are brothers and 2 1/2 years old already - i was calling pet stores looking for long haired guinea pigs (which turn out to be very hard to find) and only one Long Island pet store had a long haired g. pig up for adoption but he has a brother. so i'd obviously / probably get both.....they are free. but, it's double as expensive per month....but, i have to check them out today and then decide what to do...nice part is it's free to adopt, they are already 2.5 years old so i'd have them around 4.5-5 years instead of 7 which is fine...
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only -2 lbs to go!
but, i'm trying to hold strong and not give them back to the pet store or anything like that!

I'd say that if Hammy doesn't bite, that alone is pretty friendly :-) You'll definitely have more luck with holding a Guinea pig - but get the one that's right for you, even if it means it doesn't happen for you tomorrow.
Yes, I’m lucky hammy doesn’t bite and you just reminded me to take her out now in the ball!
I hope the guinea pig situation works tomorrow, we’ll see :-)

Ricky may want to go out Friday night for a free music concert that starts at 9pm...i might go though i'm not keen on the 9pm downbeat! It's in NYC.. and a free performance i think. maybe we have to buy something like a drink or food. i'll ask him...

Scrabble??? Oh how I wish I were there - I LOVE Scrabble! Not everyone here, in my family, is a word person, so our game is the Uno card game. We've also have been known to delve into Yahtzee.
Thank you, Horn - you've brought up some really nice memories for me today :-)
Happy thanksgiving, InnerP!!!!! <3

BearCountryGG on 12/05/2019:
How do you like the home laser thing????
i have to try it more...only used it one week, need to use it like 3 months i think...and i skipped already when i should have done it this week...i'll tell you in 3 months. it was $200. bought it in summer, to use now since you cannot be in the sun in the areas you use it (arms/legs is what i'm doing)
The company is HENA...we'll see if it works....would be SO NICE for summer.
i have to use it the first month 2x a week...then a month of 1x per week....then every other week...then as needed.
BearCountryGG on 12/05/2019:
Interesting.....I've looked at them online before...does it hurt?
only a little.
Donkey on 12/06/2019:
I've been wanting to ask you about this topic (hair removal) for about a week, since you know a lot of ladies, but I was so unsure of how to speak this subject. Then you post this! I think we might be psychically connected!
I'd be interested in your results. Also, do you have friends who have had professional electrolysis done?
MY MOM once did electrolysis on her upper lip...that's hair by hair follicle i believe one at a time!
happy-1 on 12/07/2019:
Ooooh I want one!!!!! One of these days. Sooooo tired of shaving.
i'll let you know if it's any good ....i have to use it for at least 2 months, it's been 1 week.
