Rode my bike downtown (18.05 miles), and paid my house taxes. My step counter showed 6313 steps at bedtime.

How did you do?

rhizo, I understand the swimming desire. I am lucky, that a senior center with pool opened near me. Not only do they have warm water, but it is also chlorine free, as it is salt water. However, sometimes it is really to cool, when I get out of the water.

Moni, who hopes, your pain goes away.

My fibro has been acting up and I have to fight myself to get out of bed every day. This is when it's most important for me to stretch and move. I've been going to the beginner's yoga and Pilates classes, and using my recumbent bike and returning to my chair yoga at home several times a day.

I would love to swim but I can't bear the thought of the cool water on my skin right now. I crave the water aquatics and my solitary laps in the pool.

I walked while shopping, got on the treadmill for 30 min. Sunday. Did U know: Home Depot honors competitors coupons? (I don't mean exact item matches, the percentage off, like Harbour Freight). I have an ACE game day coupon, 50% off. In fine print it says "on any item under $30", but they take their meet or beat price guarantee very seriously and just give the 50% off. Yesterday was "game day". There are "LOTS" of Sunday "game days". I purchased a new locking door knob, Halifax Smartkey. It lets you put YOUR key in it and you can change the key pattern without a locksmith. So COOL!

I did strength class at the gym. I had fallen a couple of weeks ago and hurt my butt and the small of my back and yesterday I noticed that I was finally able to put weights back onto the olympic bar when I was doing my squats so I'm on the road to recovery. Yea! I then took my nieces dog for a walk. She was at home when I got back and plied me with really good lemon white chocolate cookies. I suppose I could have said no, but I didn't.

I pushed the twins all over the backyard in their cars for half an hour (until I was out of breath) and we went for a walk around the neighborhood after the meal. I don't have a Fitbit to count my steps, I just make sure that I do something every day.

I have dabbled on and off with yoga for years, but have recently decided to get serious. I am working my way through the beginner series of videos on doyogawithme.com and will start video #5 today, which is the second of a lesson about proper breathing. So far, the videos have done lots of stretching, the sun salutation and downward facing dog among others. I feel so good afterwards and I am really noticing a difference in how my knee is feeling (less stiff and stronger). Once I get through this beginners series, I am going to do their 30 day yoga challenge (beginners version; they also have intermediate and advanced, but I'm not ready for that yet). Besides the yoga, I've been walking every day and going up and down the stairs as much as I can manage which is also helping my knee.

I tweaked my knee somehow so I am taking a few days off from the gym. I haven't had any shots of pain today, so that is good.

ont_gal, covering an acre with Christmas decor sounds like a major undertaking.

More yoga for me today (Tuesday). I am feeling stronger and stronger with each session. Knee feels great! Also drug three heavy pots off of the deck, dumped the dirt out, dug out the tiger lily bulbs, split them, put new dirt in the pots, got rid of the old soil, planted the bulbs back in the pots and drug the pots back onto the deck. That was a workout!

My Monday afternoon was spent on horse back. I am committed to future Mondays. So pretty sure I won't be lacking exercise after catching, grooming, tacking, and riding on those days. The herd is grazing high where the grass is. If my ride isn't in a pen when I arrive it's up to me to get him down from the hills.

I am not into exercise programs. I do best with activities I enjoy.
