Made partial goal.

Goals: at least 6K steps on at least 6 of 7 days OR an average of 6K steps/day.

Thu - 6718
Fri - 5115
Sat - 4473
Sun - 4027
Mon - 5365
Tue - 6544
Wed - 10462

I made only 3 days over 6K steps but managed a whopping 6101 steps/day . I will keep the same goals for next week.

I felt yucky Thursday, but took some ibuprofen and went to bed early. By Friday morning I KNEW I was sick - hubby kept "reminding" me that I had not had the flu shot this year. I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and he checked for the flu - I didn't have the flu, just a bad cold. Feeling better now (that is very comparative to how terrible I felt over the weekend) and this is my busy volunteer week, so I HAD to move some as soon as I felt any better.

Hope that all had a more productive week than I did .

Great work Mamabug and msgijo even tho partial goals!!

Hope you feel better msgijo - I also came down with a bad cold/cough on Tues evening and have been sleeping and being a couch potato ever since. It has knocked me out.

But, I managed to make my goals before Tues. I did a walk outside and this time decided to travel up our sloped driveway for an added challenge. I managed 750 steps. I also went grocery shopping and forgot my list, so extra steps there as I wandered through the store trying to remember what was needed

I babysat twice and vacuumed and washed my kitchen and entryway floor.
I was feeling so great and then - Wham! Too many grandchildren decided to share their colds with me. (bless their hearts)

I don't think I'm making goals for this next week.

Looks like you're feeling a little better mamabug, glad to see you are back in action.

Tough to hit those goals when you're under the weather msgijo, hope you are feeling better soon.

Nice work seasha. You'll do fine next week.

Thursday 13060, ran 4 miles
Friday 5343, AM weight training
Saturday 8635, trained jiu jitsu
Sunday 409, while lotta nothing....
Monday 5466, AM weight training
Tuesday 15684, AM weight training, ran 4 miles at lunch
Wednesday 13501, AM weight training, ran 5 miles at lunch and trained jiu jitsu.

62098 steps for the week, that's an average of 8871 a day, not the 10k I was aiming for but I'm good with it. Ran for a total of 14 miles and hit the weights 4 mornings. I got to train bjj twice this week and that makes me smile. I'd say I made partial goals.

Keep it going.

Next weeks goals are....
Avg. 10k steps
Run 20 miles
4 days in the gym
Train jiu jitsu 1 night

Hi everyone

Mamabug ~ Terrific job making partial goals - glad you're feeling much better!

msgijo ~ Sorry to learn that you've been sick. Great effort with partial goals!

Seasha ~ Super job making your goals, with the added walking challenge!

Boudreaux ~ Wow - running, weight lifting, and bjj - excellent!

I made goals, thankfully.

Daily : Up on feet (with rollator) 4X a day @ 30 min each (doing ADLs, light chores, etc) + stretches throughout the day + 20 in-chair ab crunches

5X a week: Walked with rollator 5X @ 30 min each

Would love to add more exercise, but most days I feel that there isn't any 'leftover' arm and leg energy to use.

Wishing everyone a healthy week, with good energy and perseverance.

[Boudreaux]

Glad you made your goals KoKo.

If I may ask, what is an ADL?

Mamabug, glad to see you’re right back at it again. Great week!

msgijo, nothing like a cold to throw you off your plan...glad you’re over it already.

Seasha, Hope you feel better quickly! Glad you were able to make your goal.

Boudreaux, so active this week! Lots of exercise, great running distance.

KoKo, way to go!

I made my goals. 7 days of yoga (goal was 7 days) and 7,782 avg steps (goal was 7k avg)

Keeping the same goals this week. My wife has come down with a cold so I’m crossing my fingers I sneak by that. Might sneak in a couple of runs.

Have a good week everyone, and be well.
