Didn't set measurable goals

(I'm posting this a day early. I expect to be busy, tomorrow and the rest of today, getting ready for guests, so I thought I'd do this while I have time.)

I'm taking a break, for a few weeks, from setting measurable goals. My functional medicine changes have been enough goal-setting for me for awhile. And, my daughter and her family, which includes the cutest two little boys in the world, are arriving tomorrow for a week and a half.

In the meantime, I'll still report what I'm doing, just to hold myself accountable to something.

Thurs - 2040 steps
Fri - 1114 steps
Sat - 1216 steps
Sun - 1264 steps
Mon - 1543 steps
Tues - 2086 steps
Wed - 1899 steps, PT

Total steps = 11,162 = 1595 average per day
Total exercise days = 1

I'm checking in early too as I've reached my goal already. And YES! No need to scold me for neglecting my floors. We've had a lot of rain and cooler temps forcing me inside, so I vacuumed and washed both bathrooms, our walk-in pantry and entryway. (All tile) Vacuumed 2 bedrooms too. All done with lots of rest in between.

Babysat 2 times and did yoga (I always forget to mention that each week)

Did a little bit of gardening when it stopped raining.

Next week goal of getting exercise 4 times includes starting to wash and vacuum our hardwood floors. You know, I think my legs and arms are stronger after joining this group. My endurance has strengthened too which I'm so happy about. It's not that great, but has improved.

Have a wonderful week exercisers!

Wow Seasha, you had a terrific week of physical activity!

(Thank you, as I really didn't want to have to scold you.)

Mamabug ~ I bet you will be more physically active than you think, with your family coming to visit.

I made goals too. Was able to do 5 walks during the week @ 30 min each, ~ was up and active 4X each day at 30 min each, ~ also did my stretches.

Did some light housecleaning, and my older sister came over and did the heavier cleaning for me. Learned my lesson when I got sore muscles last week!

Wishing everyone enough strength and energy to accomplish your goals.

Hoping that you will get through the bad storm there in SE USA, and that you and DH, and your animals, will all be ok.

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Walked over 6K steps on 6 out of 7 days and averaged 6310 steps/day . I will keep same goal next week.

KoKo - GREAT WEEK ! And thanks for your concern about the storm. I did some storm prep today and now I hear that it has changed course again! But no matter - we are all set for it. It should be mostly rain here with a few gusts (30-ish miles to the GA border). Hoping that it will send some cooler temps your way.

Seasha - AWESOME WEEK ! See you CAN do housework . As long as we have power, I suppose that I will be cleaning house this weekend - UGH. Keep up the activity - and I am glad to hear that you are seeing benefits from it .

Mamabug - enjoy your family time. In my experience, every time that I have grandchildren over I am MUCH more active .

Wishing everyone a great week!

[Mamabug]

[Boudreaux]

My apologies for my absence. Having to get a few things accomolished at work.

Thursday- 8715 steps
Friday- 112 steps (dead fitbit)
Saturday- 10310 steps
Sunday- fitbit off
Monday- 3075 steps
Tuesday- 9809 steps
Wednesday- 5706 steps

Hit my step goals once last week, 10 flights a day....fugetaboutit. Having to spend more time behind that desk at work last few weeks. Needless to say my walking has had to be put on the back burner, priorities and all. I havent checked in for the last two weeks but they were pretty much the same. I did train bjj twice 2 weeks ago and once last week so thats good.

You're doing the best you can, while trying to accomplish work requirements also. After all, there are limited hours in the day!
