Nice long walk to get an icecream cone. From the time and pace I am guessing 3 miles. Also 4 trips up and down in my sisters building. She lives on the 4 th floor.

next....

Today is my off day from scheduled exercise so not sure what, if anything, I'll do. I am going to clean out the litter boxes and then make a banana loaf, but not at the same time. yech! :)

I walked the dog this morning. Usually we do a later walk, but I am now starting to do two walks with him. One long and one short.

Good idea to work in stairs when you can.

I want it to be 6C and rainy. But on the west coast it's still below 0C, snow and ice on the ground and more snow forecast tonight and over the weekend. The trails are so icy that we can't run in them right now so we're having to drive down to the seawall along the ocean where there isn't as much snow and run along there and that's what we did today.. It's ok but the trails are more fun. Tomorrow I'll hit the gym and take my nieces dog for a walk, snowfall dependent. sighhhh. Have I mentioned, I'm sure I have, that we don't do cold and snow very well? Fights are breaking out over salt. Yes, we're fighting over salt because there is a shortage of it and it's needed for the driveways and sidewalks.

I am really only doing shoulder and neck exercises. I have degenerative disc disorder between my c5 & c6 and a torn muscle in front of my shoulder on the right side. So I'm doing some stretches for that. And decided to do a plank a day. I'm on day 3 now. Not really timing them, just doing them as long as I can. I thought it would hurt my shoulder and neck while doing them, but it doesn't at all. I need to firm up my core. And my arms. And my legs. And back...... My body seems to have fallen and I need to get it back up again. ;)

Walked the dog and did leg workout. I have been avoiding workouts since I got a gym membership - last year. It totally uninspired me and had been working out routinely before joining? I am still confused by this. There is a lot of renovations being done here so I was also using that as an excuse also. Yesterday was my first real workout in awhile. I didn't go crazy because I don't want to feel it too much.

I'm glad to see that I can come here to get some motivation on the days that I am slacking! Walked 7 miles today -- cold, wind chill was the big issue, but the sun was out for most of the day -- the first day that I can remember in weeks! I had put on too much weight so far this year, and had really allowed myself to get deconditioned after a series of injuries (including broken toes followed by plantar fasciitis). I miss the feel-good of running but just couldn't seem to get myself up and out -- I guess fear of the foot pain returning had something to do with that. So I took vacation days this past week, set last Monday as the day, cut out grains, sugars, milk and legumes, and dusted off my "The Firm" exercise videos (plus a few others). So far so good -- I've alternated videos with walking, even jogged a few minutes, every day. It is back to work on Wednesday; hopefully I've far enough into the "reset" to keep my momentum after working 12 hour shifts.

Still going to the gym 3-4x/week. Today, I did almost 4 miles on the bike, walked a mile on the track and did some stretching. Weather is unusually nice for this time of year, so I'll walk outside when I can.

I walked two miles this morning and just did 1.5 tonight. I meant to work out at the Y this morning, but life interrupted. Maybe tomorrow.

Walked 2 miles to the gym, weight machines for 45 minutes, elliptical for 15, walked home 2 miles. It was a little chilly with the wind, but I got it done. I bought a used bike the other day, but waiting for a warmer day to ride it, without the wind.

I went to the gym this morning for a strength class. It's a small class just 5 of us and we had a new trainer starting about 5 weeks ago. Oh boy does he push us - in a good way.

Then I took my nieces dog for a walk but even though it was 0C it felt much colder. It was snowing a bit so I think there was just an extra chill in the air. The dog turned around to go back to the car after about 20 minutes. Our planned hour walk was only 35 minutes. I was just as glad as he was to get back into the car.

I went to the Y yesterday morning and got in a good workout. Didn't have time to do a walk.

I did a two mile walk this morning and may do another later. It's humid here. Trees are leafing out. My allergies are back.

It's Thursday March 2. Things here are not going as well as we hoped. My Aussie sis got sick Saturday mostly puking and eventually the runs. Then I came down with similar symptoms, but somehow the German sis escaped it so far.

We also realized the mess and smell is so overwhelming that we can only work for a few hours at the time, and need a day off the next day.

None of us realized how bad the hoarding had gotten. It's hard to know mother lived in there.

luckily the have big garbage pick up on Wednesday!

well, we are about to take another 45 minute drive to get there, for another total purging session.

i hope someone else can take over the exercise thread till I fly back home. Moni
