No snow where I am. In fact, I haven’t experienced snow ever.

No gyms for me either. I do regular push ups, jog once in a while, play soccer and am currently playing for a team in a basketball league. I’ve tried barre3, ever heard of it?

We are not covered in snow.. but we are drowning in rain water… it has been raining all week on and off.. but today it has been raining non stop since 4 AM… our yard is flooded (we live in the flat land TX).

I look forward to a good butt kicking spin class.

Empty Nut Jar: I’m so glad you found my blog! I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues. I can only imagine all the pain and emotions you’re going through. I give you credit for being positive; I know how hard it is! What you said is so true–you don’t know what you have till it’s gone. I know I certainly took walking around for granted.

Hi
I found your blog through ELR’s. WHat an amazing blog. I feel u on the “used to be superhuman”….I used to be a fitness enthusiast and a runner (competitive) and health issues have reduced me to a walker only for the last year…and still going….but I must be positive.
Girl, be thankful u can move..honestly, no one ever knows what they have till they lose it.
And love that u are a writer. I want to write but have no money…and stuck in a different career with tons of debt…so..plus my confidence sucks…need to work on that
I hate the snow and cold…stay in and watch survivor

Hi Gracie! Thanks for checking out my blog. Typical squats are terrible for the knees, so I do a modified version created for me by my physical therapist. I use a big exercise ball behind my back to take some pressure off the knees. Then I only squat a little bit–none of those deep squats most people do. And I never, ever let my knees go over my toe line. When I do walking squats, I’m pretty much in the squat position with a resistance band around my calves, Though I’m in a squat position as I walk side-to-side, I never do a full squat, which makes it easier on my knees. Hope that helps!

Hey girl! Just came across your blog. I’m sorry to hear about your knees, but major props for continuing on with a healthy lifestyle and not letting it get you down =) Such an inspiration! I noticed you do squats – doesn’t that bother your knees? Or is it good for helping them build strength? I don’t know much about it so I’m just curious =)

Food Fitness Fresh Air: So glad to hear my weak push-up skills inspired you! I’m amazed how many muscles a push-up uses, so way to go!
