Thanks KoKo for your aperçu of these last to weeks! (Trying to bring back my high school French.... Fantastique!)

Best I've got.

Super job, Jer!
Careful with the leg giving out...happens to me too (and sometimes falling), regardless of how much I exercise them. I never know if I'm doing too much or too little? It's clearly a balancing act, pun intended!
Stay strong everyone

Originally posted by 502E79 View PostI had two very good weeks. Some disappointment, but not enough to upset the game plan.
Overall:
Cardio: is better with 30 minutes being touched occasionally (once out of 3 times every week), i.8 miles average on mixed equipment.
Stretching: Want to say better but I simply cannot establish a good sequence of days in a row... but never less, 12 of the last 14 days at about 30 minutes each day.
Arms: Some things improved... and some loss, sigh.
Legs: Right leg weaker and has given out, folded a bit 2-3 times over the last 14 days. Didn't fall but...
Core: A highlight! 60 decline bench sit-ups at an increased angle (over 6 days). Plus some Spa ball core work once in a while.
Originally posted by 502E79 View PostAlso, again a mention of choice, kinda like KoKo... We all have to choose to do what we do and there are hidden benefits to this. By acting on our choice to exercise we effectively make a stand, so to speak, in our MS altered lives. I think this is the strength Mike brings up rightfully. Not just the repetitions in a set but getting up for the next set is what life is all about.

Hi Everyone!
Boudreaux, My thanks also for the initial posting for these missing two weeks... I should have picked up the baton. No excuses.
KoKo, Could not agree more... "If I want to be able to move around the best I can, then my exercises are pretty much a must-do activity for me. I'm thankful that I can still do them."
Seasha, my days just blend into one after the other too!
Mamabug, even @ gym I workout alone... more than ever before lately. Glad you are adding to your routines with your Body Gym. Like Mike says; lets END this year strong!

Originally posted by Seasha View PostI know I made my goal during Thanksgiving week as I tracked every day, but this past week not so much. Have felt lazy and unmotivated, except for spending lots of time reading and making holiday treats to mail off for long distance families.
And I would add that making holiday treats is physical activity too - moving about, reaching into cupboards, cleaning up, etc.

Originally posted by Mamabug View PostI think I probably made goals, but it's a few days late so I'm not very good at backtracking. I've continued to use my Body Gym at home and have added a few additional exercises to it. It's still not close to as many minutes as I was spending at group exercise but I've been regular.

Originally posted by Mamabug View PostThanks for starting this, Boudreaux. Yeah; I guess Thanksgiving weekend messed up normal routines for me, like starting this on Thursday.
I wonder what is normal anymore? ... my days just blend into one after the other!

Good going, KoKo and Mamabug!
