Aug 5 Saturday 45 minute walking video and nice walk outdoors
August 6 Sunday 45 minute walking video and 3 hour bird watching walk with friends -- heavenly!!
August 9 Wednesday 30 minute video not really into it, but did it, then 15 minutes upper arm -- ooooooo, it hurts so good!!
August 10 Thursday 45 minutes in good sweaty form, and 15 minutes upper arm, very sore in a good way! Think I'm getting somewhere. This is making a difference!
August 11 Friday 30 minutes walking and 10 minutes upper arm
August 12 Saturday lackidaisical 30 minutes of walking, and a good stretch. We'll be outside today and get more movement in.
Indeed, we took the dog and a neighbors dog (neighbor out of town) for a walk, and then went for the afternoon to a nearby nature reserve, where we also did some walking.
August 13 Sunday 30 minutes walking video
August 14 Monday 45 minute walking video. Sweated. Supposed to be three miles but my fit bit only shows 2.6 -- probably because I did upper arm exercises at the same time which are a bit slower. Still got the heart rate up several times.
August 15 Tuesday 30 minute walking video with good engagement -- this is the one month mark!! WOW!
August 16 Wedneday 30 minute walking video with not such great enthusiasm
August 17 Thursday 45 minute walking video with enthusiasm!!
August 18 Friday 25 minute walking video -- tried a different one today -- different from the 6 or 7 I usually select from on you tube, and it didn't really do it for me, no sweating, so I added a 5 minute arm toning thing, now I feel the buzzing in my neck where I had whip lash two years ago. Not doing that again. The buzzing will go away in a few days with carefull movement and stretching. Back to my plain oldies but goodies.
August 19 Saturday 45 minute walking video with enthusiasm. Then went to the ag show and had a good walking day. No neck pain or buzzing.
August 20 Sunday 45 minute walking video with enthusiasm -- took some new arrivals to the nearby nature reserve and showed them the sites, was a treat -- and the bumpy road gave me thousands of steps -- funny....still, I'll ignore that.
August 21 Monday 45 minute walking video, good energy!
August 22 Tueday 45 Minute walking video, OK not great (me, not the video, which was fine)
August 23 Wednesday 45 minutes walking ivideo and upper arms for and addition 7
August 24 Thursday 30 minutes slept in till 5:00 after late night , friends who just wouldn't go home
I'm such a wimp!
August 25 Friday tired and used my hour for walking for sleeping in, and did outside walking later in the day. It was lovely to have that time to reallocate.
August 26 Saturday outside walking -- winter is going, and I may start doing more of this on the weekend, but the key now is actually repaying my sleep debt and getting back to my baseline walking which I have committed to.
August 27 Sunday 45 minutes walking video, outside later in the day
August 28 Monday 45 minute walking video and arm work; yay! Back in the groove!
August 29 Tuesday 30 minute walking video. No enthusiasm
