I got on to the treadmill after the 7th of August, so it has been a long hiatus.

29:38 min/2.00 km/163 cal, inc 4-7, speed 4.3, knee exercises 10 count.

Give me 4727 steps for that.

Good for you skb!!  Once one gets out of the habit of doing some exercise, it is hard to get back! I look at this thread as a form of accountability, no stress for any huge outcome but more of a reminder to keep doing what I can. By recording it, I can see that yes, I have done something the day before no matter what...just something/anything.

I think I am going to try some calf stretches as they have been cramping a lot lately.

Included some mild running.

24:51 min/2.0 km/152 cal, inc 4-8, speed 4.5, knee exercises 25 count.

Plus I travelled using the public transport and that involves a lot of steps and climbing flights of stairs.

A take it easy day. TNR guy brought back the kitty I caught the other day. He said it was too feral to be tamed. Oh well, at least it is fixed. So many new kittens showing up, local feral cats. I guess, but I can't keep them all even fixed. Food costs a lot! Now I don't know what to do. Maybe advertise barn cats? I'll worry about that later...

So far, totally happy with the AdBlocker! I have to laugh, a few sites have a pop up that says "We see you have blocked our ads. Please give a donation to keep us going..." Uh no, I just click through it and read what little I was going to and don't click around the site. Or I just shut it down and don't read the link.

For me too. I had a meeting in the late afternoon so skipped the TM as it was quite late by the time I returned. To compensate, I chose not to drive and relied on the public transport + walk method garnering more than 4k steps in the process.

Yesterday was a busy day and I reached home later than usual so I had to skip the TM again but I must have easily accumulated around 6000 steps during the day.

About the same as yesterday. Today. I have 2 big boxes from Chewy out for delivery, one 43.9# and the other 50.6# so there will be lots of up and down the side stairs to bring the items inside. One more box coming tomorrow. I think I may have to go with cheaper brands of food. These guys eat a lot!!

Yesterday I could have done my evening workout but got busy with work. Later we had a dinner to attend. And today I'm going to be travelling.

Between unloading all the cat food yesterday, and I did a bunch of yard work hauling dead branches the "neighbor" left on my lawn. Then wrangling kittens... Very exhausting day all in all, definitely taking it easier today!

As it was a day of travel there were a lot of steps incorporated. Mid noon I checked and the score was 3500+. By the time I got home it would have been definitely 8000+.

A round 6,600 steps yesterday.

Tried to take it as easy as possible. I think today is going to be busy, just hope I can get as many kitties as possible. I am getting really exhausted in this whole process. It started 9/5 and still going...it feels like there is no end in sight...
