Exercise Check-In for 04/26/18

[Mamabug]

Seven checked in this week.

GOALS REACHED:
Four made made goals.

GOALS MISSED:
Three made partial goals.
I suspect that, even during those weeks when we don't meet all of our goals, that we might still be moving more than we would be if we weren't here to encourage each other. I do believe that all of you help me to stay motivated and to keep trying.

For new Exercisers:
Feel free to join us. You set your own goals. You can keep the same goals week-to-week, or modify them. You decide if you accomplished them. Check in once a week to let us know how you did last week, and to set goals for the following week.

Made goal!

Hi Team! Congrats Faith! I made my goal and upped to 3000 steps now along with stretches and marching in place. My body ached a lot with the damp weather and it's teasing. Last week killed me. I am grateful this week is a little better.

I made my goal. I rode my stationary bike 3 days, dh and I had a two day yard sale and I swept some floors.

I finally came to the conclusion that I'm not able to keep cleaning my house. My legs get so weak and burn, especially when I sweep and mop and the day after I have a lot of pain in lower back and leg when I try to get up from sitting. So this morning I hired a housekeeper to clean twice a month.

I will keep same goal, exercise 4 days a wk., whatever that may be.

mamabug, good job! You had a great wk.

Diamond, good job! Great wk. I'm glad you are feeling better.

Wishing everyone good energy and a great wk.

Made all my goals

I can scarcely believe I made all my goals. It has become harder and harder to do my many exercises. When doing leg lifts I had to reduce five pound weights to 2.5 pound weights. I can no longer lift the five pounders.

Good going Mamabug, Diamond 57 and REG53 for completing all of your goals. Congratulations!

Wow! Great job of reaching your goals everyone!! Congrats

Karen, I'm super glad you reduced your leg weights, which seem more doable.
And glad to hear you're hiring a housekeeper to clean, REG.
We all have good reasons to adjust.

I had an awesome week too. Sunny, warm days saw me outside doing gardening work and planting my first veggie starts and seeds. I was in my happy place for 4 days Did some babysitting too and reached my goal.

Rainy weather is forecast in a day or two, so I'll use that time to do housework, which I've neglected in a big way.

Same goals for next week 4-5 days of exercise in one form or another.
Keep up the great work everyone. You all keep me motivated too!

I walked over 5K steps on 5 of 7 days and averaged 6153 stops / day .
It started raining Sunday afternoon and rained until Tuesday morning, so I was suffering from spasticity from Sunday until Wednesday - and it started raining again today !

I will keep same goals for next week.

Seasha - Great week . Keep up the good work.

ShrinkKaren - Awesome . Talk about determination - you got it going on.

REG53 - Great week . I may have to look into a house keeper also (it is painful the day after cleaning for me too).

Diamond57 - Good job ! You did really well considering that you had to deal with wet / humid weather and no volunteer work this week.

Mamabug - Great week ! I am impressed when people actually go to a gym to exercise. I know that it will not happen with me so I don't even bother to start that route (I won't even use exercise equipment that we have here at home).

Congratulations everyone on reaching your goals this week.

Made Goals

Hi everyone

How terrific - it looks like our entire group accomplished our exercise goals this week!

Thankfully I had another good week also:

Up on feet with rollator (standing, walking, doing activities) 4X a day at 30 min each - which includes 5 walks during the week at 30 min each - and stretches.

So very glad for all of us!

ShrinkKaren ~ especially glad for you!

Wishing everyone good energy and persistence!
