Exercise / Workout / Activity

5425 steps yesterday.  More than I expected but I also didn't use the walker at all and walked normally just carrying my cane just in case but was quite able to walk without any assistance.  I still am wary of falling but my balance is actually just fine so I think that is a positive improvement.

Excellent.

6,988 steps yesterday.

Didn't expect that at all! Still feeling really tired and hands still hurt as does jaw. I am not trying to push myself, it just seems so much more needs to be done outside this time of year. I can't just seem to be able to sit/rest as much as I would like to!

4814 steps yesterday.  I am not going to push to get over 4000 but this is just fine.

5,156 steps yesterday.

Managed to take it a bit easier. The frigid weather with some snow begins today. I hope not much snow as my hands are aching so much.

5245 steps yesterday.  I was surprised but I guess I had more back and forth doing things.

7,011 steps yesterday.

Snow and blowing wind had me working outside to situate kitty food dishes at both stations. Quick run to Country Store for a cat litter box and litter for Mama Millie who is now living inside.

Brutally cold this morning all sites say -8° now, my outside thermometer says about -4° but it is in sheltered  area by front door so not quite as accurate as out in open. Looks to be 2" of snow to deal with when I feed kitties and after last night's wind probably searching for some of the dishes. Going to be some hard work to get them fed today. Hope my hands can handle it...

4720 steps yesterday.  As long as I can get over 4000 steps I am happy.

I doubt I am going to be able to take it very easy today sadly. I made over 1500 steps between 8:30AM and 9:45Am just shoveling snow and feeding the cats.

I called my friend to ask if she could come over later to help with shoveling front deck. I just can't do it all by myself. At least no snow again right away.

9,257 steps yesterday! And boy am I feeling it today!

I had help shoveling, but still I did a lot! All the kitties food was frozen solid so had to gather all the bowls, replenish and by the time I did that, the first new ones were frozen! Two more days of this frigid weather then tiny warming...over freezing!

All I can manage today is just try to keep some unfrozen food available for kitties. My hands are both aching and jaw still not totally healed so aching still. This physical work is probably not helping either.

? steps yesterday.  For some reason I was really tired and although I had a good nights sleep it felt like I didn't.  I just had to take it easy and even lied back down for a while.  Today I am still feeling tired and I don't know why but it reminds me of when I had hypercalcemia but I don't think that is happening.  For now I am just going to take it easy.

Take care Wally, feel better soon!

For now I am just going to take it easy.

Sounds like a good idea.

9,734 steps yesterday. WoW!  This weather is keeping me on my feet constantly!

Pipes froze yesterday morning, arrrgggghhhh! Called my pump guy who is usually very responsive, but no word. I'm sure he and all other pump guys and plumbers are inundated with calls. Hope to at least hear from him today. Friend brought me a couple huge water coolers filled with water, but that is going fast! Back and forth to pump house several times added to steps.

I felt better yesterday but I still took it easy and didn't worry about steps at all and I feel even better today but Iam still going to hold off on trying to do more.  I am not sure what caused it but it reminded me of how I felt before ending up in the hospital with heart failure and I don't think that is what it was as I got worse then and I am feeling better now but I am going to take it slow.
