Don't Wait! Start Extra Today. 4th Month Day 3

I developed this whopper blister on my palm.

I have them often.
I'd rather cut my hand off than wear gloves.
This week's one is nearly gone

Ohhhh..ooops..is this some sort of exercise thread? I’d never want to tempt with awful pictures of tasty food..tee hee…seriously, I’m disabled now, if anything I’m jealous, after weights, and running, then my favorite exercise of all, aikido, I’m taking pain meds and just doing my best to care for my 15 ladies..running to the fridge or shaping dough into rolls is about the extent of my exercise now..

Hey! Read some of my posts here. I'm 68 with advanced osteoarthritis and some form of rheumatic arthritis and I do ADLs as my exercising plus taking care of my garden, flower beds, lawn and chooks as exercise.

A month ago I was using our wood gathering activity as exercise.

You seriously DON'T have to go out and buy a huge exercise machine/treadmill/stationairy bike/troture device in order to exercise. All you have to do is move that bod!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE join in with me @Katanahamon so I don't feel like the only gimp here....no offense to gimps because I are one!

I haven't slacked off, honestly! I was sick for a day and a half. I have no idea what it was, but I had a low temp and slept plus spent a lot of time in the bathroom if you get the drift. Not exposed to anything or anybody so I'm just shrugging and saying 'eh' and carrying on business as usual.

Still doing my gardening as exercise and actually got a couple of good long walks at a fast pace which lead to a flare of knee pain.

Why am I starting to feel picked on?

I won't be walking for a few days. I have medicine that I'm starting tonight for my arthritis flare so I'm giving it a chance to kick in but yes, I am still on the exercise wagon, just dragging a foot at the moment.

I hope you feel better soon

I have heard of it.
But I don't do it.

Calluses are not ladylike. Gloves help prevent calluses.

Calluses are not ladylike.

Oops...

Calluses are not ladylike.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

If that means I'm not lady like, then I guess I'm just not a lady.

Sorry @tripletfeb
I tried to pass it up.
Couldn't do it.

Me neither, she says, looking down at her hard earned callouses and smiling.

My husband told me a long time ago (before we were married) that he wanted a girl that could be the best of both worlds, meaning not afraid to get in the dirt and get done what needs to be done, but who could also put on makeup and wear a fancy dress for a date and not look out of place. I like to think I do okay.
