Walking

Hi All!

I added an extra day this past week. Unfortunately, I fell yesterday smack into a cement wall. My glass are destroyed and have to large eggs under my eyebrow and my left cheekbone. So have to take it easy the next few days.

But made my goal adding a day.

Sun - 2711
Mon - 1408
Tues -3043
Weds - 1807 (Before fall)

Total steps 8969 for 4 days. I guess I would like to be able to walk 2500 4 days next week because I know between my back problem and fall I will take it easier the next couple days.

Susie ;D

Goal - >4000 steps/day on 4 or more days with an average of 3500 steps/day.

Thu 5956
Fri 7288
Sat 7500
Sun 5501
Mon 4398
Tue 5932
Wen 5918

I walked over 4000 steps all 7 days with an average of 6065 steps/day, so I made my goals.
(Actually I made goals last week also, but didn't report).
Even tho I am suffering with the flu right now I will continue with the same goal for next week.

Diamond57 - So sorry to hear about your fall . Glad to hear that you were able to meet your goal in spite of the fall, and yes take it a bit easy until you are healed up.

[Seasha]

So sorry to hear of your fall, Susie. Hope you heal quickly!

And msjigo - Wow! What a trooper - hope you get over that flu quickly!

I barely made my goal, but I did. You know, at this point in time with progressive MS, just getting some movement each day, however I can do it, is a plus for me. I will continue to plod along with my babysitting, yoga and housework.

I hope to add a bit of more walking outside for next weeks goal. It has rained for 3 weeks straight, so may have to walk in the rain. Maybe I'll be singing in the rain to help me get by these darkened wet days.

Have a good week ahead everyone!

I did not make goal of leg and arm weight lifting. I couldn't make myself to it, just to boring. I did keep moving with housework, sweeping and cleaning bath/r also done some laundry.

I got my bike moved so I am hoping to ride it 3 days and to just keep moving whatever that will be.

msgijo-- What a good job. I am so sorry you have the flu You take care of yourself and don't over do it.

Seasha - Glad you made goal, babysitting, yoga and housework is a great workout.

Diamond-- Good job making goal. You really had a bad fall. I hope you heal soon.

Just keep moving everyone

Lots of shoveling.

No stretching.

Still relapsing, so I am shocked I am doing as well as I am.

Hi everyone

Good to see that everyone is putting their bodies in motion, in so many different ways.

That is the ultimate goal - putting the body in motion, regardless of the activity, and in accordance with our own abilities.

I am unable to do heavy housework, or shovel snow, etc. But for now I am able to walk with my rollator, slow and awkward as that may be! It gives me a small feeling of some control, and I enjoy it, struggle and all.

Made my goal of up on feet and standing or moving (with rollator) for 30 min, 4X a day, every day - including 5 walks during the week at 30 min each - and daily stretches.

Wishing everyone the energy and strength to move your bodies to the best of your abilities!

[Mamabug]

Didn't make goal. Made a partial goal.

These were my goals:
1. Increase steps slightly, to average of 2,000 per day.
2. Exercises at least 4 times out of 7 days. Silver Sneakers, Wellness Center, PT or something else.

Steps:
Th- 1947 steps
F - 1829 steps
S - 1674 steps
S - 1654 steps plus I went to the pool so I had about 500 additional steps
Mon - 2294 steps, Wellness Center
Tue - 2148 steps
W - 1968 steps
Total: 14,014 steps; average 2002 per day

I didn't exercise 4 days, only 3. I made my steps goal, but just barely.

I'll continue the same goals for next week. It does feel satisfying to be setting goals again, after the break that I took, even though I didn't do as well as I had hoped to.
