. . .before the temps go down to the lower 90's, if indeed they do. It is difficult to read other blogs from folks who are experiencing cool weather once again, but then Sacramento has had a mild summer, heat-wise. Fall is going to be a scorcher though.
I did very well with the 2# weights that I'll be using this week. Next week I'll put a 2# and a 1# together, and see if I want to go any higher. The 2's today were just enough to let me feel it.
I also did a few leg stretches, and decided to order a DVD that has AM stretch and PM stretch, with Madeline Lewis. I had the videos which are still in storage in Asheville, and I had thought about having them converted to CD. But not knowing how long it will be until I can get them and wanting to get started with them as soon as possible, I just ordered the DVD with both morning and evening stretch sessions. They are so good to do - nothing strenuous as you go at your own pace, and I felt terrific all day long when I used to start the day out with half an hour of stretching.
An extra reason to watch these programs is that they are filmed in the Canadian Rockies - Banff comes to mind, but I'm not sure exactly where. The exercises are demonstrated outdoors with the stunning backdrop of the mountains.
I don't think I'm going to lose all the wrinkles and crinkles as time has done a good job of letting me know how long I've been around. But I want to feel better, look just a bit better, and have a feeling of well-being that exercise usually brings. Wasn't there a Garth Brooks song that goes "I'm too young to feel so damn old"? Well, I am going to do something about that.
- Feelin' Fine!
I did go to the gym for the 7:30 pm Gentle Yoga class, and I'm so glad I did. Last night I got the best sleep I've had in a long time! So this morning I decided to get out my stretch video and did the 25 minute routine, which is much...

Yesterday Jeannie offered to take me to Target and I jumped on the chance to get out. We spent quite a while in Target and then stopped by Costco - didn't stay there long because by then the back of my right leg started hurting so badly that...
- It's Cold Today!
From mid-day when I walked over to the laundry room a couple of times to this afternoon it has gotten much colder, and the breeze has picked up. The forecast for five days beginning today show rain, and while we haven't yet had rain it will probably...

Not much happening today. There are a couple of storms brewing out in the Pacific that will bring some rain, and I have had a slight headache off and on today. I guess it's something to do with the air pressure, although I don't understand it....
- New Printer Delivered
That seems quick! I got an email today saying the printer was shipped on the 18th (yesterday) and would be delivered on the 19th. I had it sent to Jeannie's house, as I usually do for anything too large to fit in my mailbox, and she said it arrived...
