    2. Exercise at least 4 times out of 7 days. Silver Sneakers, recumbent bike at Wellness Center or YMCA, PT, YouTube chair exercises or something else.

      Nice work MamaBug, keep it moving in the right direction...

      My goals for last week were:
      Avg. 10k steps - Missed- Averaged 8847
      Run 20 miles- Missed- Ran 14.5
      4 days in the gym- Made
      Train jiu jitsu 1 night- Made

      Thur- 19218 Steps, 4 floors, weight training and I ran 8 miles
      Fri- 10038 steps, 14 floors...I skipped my normal routine and got some home projects done.
      Sat- 0 (didn't wear monitor but didn't do much)
      Sun- 3411 steps,0 floors, Continuation of Saturday
      Mon- 16281 steps, 9 floors, weight training, ran 6.5 miles, finished up the night with some yoga
      Tues- 3136 steps, 2 floors, weight training, Jiu Jitsu
      Wed- 9850, 2 floors, weight training

      Stepped out side of my normal daily routine, had some visitors from corporate in the last week (this week too) so I opted to eat lunch with them a few times so I couldn't get my runs in like I normally do. It's all good though. Back to the grind Monday. I'm pleased with my performance.

        Great efforts, Mamabug and Boudreaux! BTW, what do the dates in your signature mean, Bpudreaux?

        I made my goal:
        Babysat twice and one other time that was too short for active work on my part
        Cleaned house
        Walked my usual outdoor route twice. Happy about that.

        Will keep the same goal of 4-5 active (for me) days

        Hope you all persevere and keep moving!

          Nice job making those goals Seasha.

          Those dates are events that I plan in participating in.

          The crescent city classic is CD a 10k rade in New Orleans.
          Las Vegas is a jiu jitsu competition.
          Tough mudder is a 10 mile (give or take a few) race through the mud with somewhere around 20-25 obsticals in it.

          My goal is only to finish.

              Made Goals

              Hi everyone

              Mamabug ~ You came close and accomplished partial goals, and that is terrific!

              Boudreaux ~ I love your variety of activities. Fabulous!

              Seasha ~ You made goals and were able to do some walks! Super!

              I was able to make goals also, and feel grateful for that.

              Daily: Up on feet with rollator 4X a day @ 30 min each + Stretches throughout the day + In-chair ab crunches @ 20 per day

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

              Although my goals are doable, they remain challenging! So I will keep the same goals at this time.

              Wishing everyone good energy and perseverance.

                I made my step average goal with 475 'extra' steps , but did not make my daily steps goal. No particular reason - I just didn't feel like doing anything all week. I will keep same goals for next week.

                I did have an appointment with my Endo, and she said the latest lab results show my Thyroid levels are just above being too low, (so that is a probable reason) and took me off of all medications for now.

                I am glad to see that everybody else is meeting goals or working their goals to the best of their abilities. Really glad that nobody has reported being been stuck in due to frigid weather .

                Wishing all a great week!

                  Most everyone in my area were stuck in - no school, no work for many, no mail delivery, no courtrooms, etc.

                  I just don't go out in the winter, and cold/flu season, anyways.

                    1. 2-3 days a week of weight lifting for arms and 2-3 days weight lifting for lower body.


                    2. 10000-15000 steps a day. As long as I get to 10000 I will be happy but I am still going to try to push myself a few days for more steps for heart health and all that.

                    3. Find a way to go to bed earlier. I am waking up early but I just can't seem to get to sleep early ever.

                    Still the same goals. I made all of them last week except the go to bed early. Some days I am asleep early but other days it doesn't matter what I do I'll be up at 3 even though I have to be at work at 6:45. Thankfully I am not ever really too tired from it but I know getting enough sleep is a big part of being healthy.

                        Made Goal

                        Looks like everyone so far has had a solid, productive week. Great work!

                        I made my revised goals of yoga 7 days.

                        I nearly reached my averages steps too, though I had suspended the goal for the week unsure of which way my health would go. 6,287 steps for the week.

                        My goals for next week will be:
                        - daily yoga
                        - 6.5k steps avg
                        - 1 run

                        I hope everyone has a great week of health ahead and stays warm!
