G'morning Buenita!🙋♀️🌞 That is a great goal! I've been trying to stay under 2300mg/day as my goal, but yesterday I went over and had 2488mg because of making a processed food meal (Chicken Teriyaki Voila). Ughhh. I'm just trying to clear out the big freezer of food before it expires 🤷♀️

I actually "exercised" as per your chart for bone strengthening - I did 10 toe lifts - 10 wide leg squats - 10 bicep curls today - ( I never did exercise so I do not have small weights and I hate to waste the funds on anything that I am never going to use again) BUT - I have numerous packages of 900 grams of spaghetti --- AND If you hold one package of spaghetti in each hand --- Voila - when I need to go BIGGER - I can tape several packages together --- I have lots of packages of pasta that will never ever eat. I also walked today and visited a nice swamp.

I was surprised after all of those 3 exercises to realize how very out of shape I am ! So Easter is coming & they have Easter coloured pastel M&Ms in the market now - Cool.

Jergens...you crack me up!🤣 I've seen where folks use bags of dry beans, or soup cans for weights also (or filled water bottles). I am SO stinkin proud of you for actually doing some of those exercises! SERIOUSLY!!👍👍👍

Good job on the stretching. My baby goal was taking the dog out for a walk. It is nice once I get there just the motivation in this snow and cold weather

I do admit - CrystalJo - that I fully intended to make you laugh - thank you for being so proud of me - I thought about soup tins BUT I am still recovering from my last wound and still recovering from my last broken foot. Spaghetti even uncooked is still softer than a full tin can. My grip is not as good as it used to be. I plan on doing a couple more exercises tomorrow !!!

@ Abbadabba - I am no where near being in good enough shape to lift 8 pounds of anything (and a gallon of water weighs 10 pounds) - I am having enough trouble lifting a package of spaghetti - I might work to a couple of milk jugs - who knows what the future will bring !!!

@jergens...whatever works, right?? The thing that MATTERS is that you're even THINKING about exercising and taking walks! 👏👏

@soup48...wow! I started with 1.5 pound weights...then went up to 2 and got up to 3 pounds so far! Be careful, ok? But I am SUPER impressed that you have decided to start something new and challenging! 👍💙

I have a pair of 1 lb weights. They are so cute. I started with water bottles and then I found these. I usually work with 8 and up now. But the small ones are good for those walk in the place exercises I do sometimes when watching TV or something
