Exercise / Workout / Activity

Well, you did just have a blip considering the after effects of the anesthesia. This too will pass. You'll know when you are ready.  Just like, great as it seems for me right now, I'll know when it is time to pull back. We are both darned good at listening to our bodies!!

11,094 steps yesterday. So far so good, nothing hurts.

Keeps getting better.

11,724 steps yesterday. Still feeling OK with the steps. Amazing!

LOL, the only one unhappy with my comeback on my steps is my cat! She is missing all the lap time she had been getting, though she still gets plenty. She just wants more. Oh well, you can't please everybody all the time! 

I am surprised every day that I am not feeling some achey knees or back, but I am happy about it. It feels good to be getting the movement again.

12,127 steps yesterday.

I can't believe I'm keeping up the pace! And with no bad reactions. I'll take it as long as it lasts as I do feel better for the exercise.

12,338 steps yesterday. Still no aches or pains and actually feeling pretty good.

One day at a time, I'll try to stick with the plan today and go with the flow. Millie cat is not happy with not so much lap time, so I have to give her some time too.

Best thing to do. Today I should also be hopping on my TM.

As promised to myself
30:45 min /2.00 km / 145 cal / inc 3-4 / speed 4.0
In terms of steps (on a plane) that should give me about 4200.

12,946 steps yesterday.

I gave Millie cat more lap time yesterday and by evening I felt maybe I hadn't done enough, so pushed a little. I was surprised when I checked my count this morning!! (I don't look at it throughout the day as I don't want to feel "pressured" to get a certain #.)

Another dreary day ahead so probably more of the same today. I do need to gather all the garbage for pick up tomorrow.

Nice to see your post skb!

Today evening
30:49 min /2.00 km / 150 cal / inc 3-5 / speed 4.0 / maxHR 132

12,261 steps yesterday. Still no aches or pains as a result.

Settling into the pattern of walking during as many commercials as I hear on the TV as possible. It is just background noise, but now I try to listen for ads.

Crystal lady comes today and so 2-2.5 hours will be spent with her so no focussed walking in the morning.  Today's final count will probably be lower...

Good idea. On this side of the planet we are cricket crazy. During must watch matches, I use the same technique, just to avoid sitting long hours.

30:15 min /2.00 km / 155 cal / inc 3-6 / speed 4.1

Stats for today. However, the first day my Cal count was based on my actual weight (73.5) and yesterday and today I forgot to enter my weight, so the cal count could be higher by about 10%, which should give me around 4900 steps on a plain walk.

11,667 steps yesterday.

Still managed a fair amount of steps even with the time out working with the crystal lady. She has spent her limit so this is her last visit for now, though I think she might want to shop again some time down the road. I'm fine with the break as she really wears me out each time she is here.

Snow this morning so a bit of clearing needed outside a bit later. It is still coming down lightly.

12,693 steps yesterday,

When I woke in the night to use the bathroom, my right knee said "hello there!". I put some Aspercreme on it and it doesn't ache this morning so will proceed with normal plan. But I will pay close attention.

I really thought I'd never see these kind of numbers ever again! I am surprised every day I can keep it up!

I missed yesterday's workout as I returned late from work.
