I didn’t realize that fall is my favorite fitness season until I sat down to write a blog post. I thought, I’ll write about how the fall season is a great time to change up my fitness plans. When I did a search for other blog posts I might have written, I found these posts: 2018 Ten Tips for Fall Fitness 2019 End of Summer 2020 The Fun of Fall Biking 2021 Running in the Fall with My Dog Apparently last year (2022) I was more focused on food than on fitness because I wrote about roasting pumpkin seeds in the air fryer.  This is a good reminder that I should get a pumpkin to carve this year. In 2017, which I believe was the year Chris and I started the...

Loyal readers will know how much I enjoy sheet pan recipes, so this week I tried a new recipe that I'm calling Sheet Pan Veggie Soup. I'm considering this month the start of my Veggie Challenge 2023, since my garden vegetables are really in their prime! The ingredients are the left over vegetables that are getting a little tired from staying in my refrigerator. Namely, the cauliflower that was given to me by my daughter and a huge pepper from our garden. I hadn't been in the mood to eat these earlier and I wanted to use them before they got too tired. So I turned on the over to 425 degrees and lined a cookie sheet with tin foil. I chopped the cauliflower, carrots, and onion...

It's amazing what a few of the right exercises done consistently can do for keeping flexible! Before you read any further, please know I am not a doctor or am I prescribing any medical advice. Everyone is in a different place with flexibility, so know your own body and proceed slowly if you feel resistance and stop if you feel pain. You should just feel mild tension. Recently I've been gently doing finger, hand and shoulder exercises to carefully stretch and limber up my fingers. I don't pretend to be near as flexible or nimble as this cat, but I have seen a significant improvement lately. I've been working on my hands, shoulders and neck. Too much time on my computer and working on my phone has caused...
