    Great job MisterMan! I should do a little of yoga each day too, but I don't everyday.

    I made a partial goal with yoga, grocery shopping, babysitting twice, housework. But, I didn't even get one walk in. Weather has changed - snow, ice and cold temps. I won't venture out to walk even with trekking poles. We're also going to get more snow in the next couple of days.

    Will try again for one walk sometime in the next week. It's questionable tho.

    Hope all have a great week ahead!

    Made Goals

    Hi everyone

    MisterMan ~ Excellent! Nice workout routine.

    Seasha ~ The partial goals still kept your body moving (even though the weather didn't cooperate for your walks)!

    I made goals, although they were quite challenging. I wonder if the drastic up and down temperature changes during the week played a part?

    Daily: Up on feet (with rollator) doing chores, etc. 4X a day @ 30 min each + Stretching throughout the day + In-chair ab crunches @ 20 per day

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

    Keeping same goals.

    Wishing good energy, peace, and perseverance to all.

    Solid work guys....I made partial goals.

    My goals for last week were:
    Average 10k steps a day: missed, averaged 6745
    Run 20 Miles: Missed by a long shot- Got 6.59
    4 days in the Gym: Got 5
    Train Jiu Jitsu 1 night a week: Got it.

    I also did Yoga a few times but i can't remember which nights....I need to start writing things down. I used to do a fair amount of walking in the morning before work which is now spent in the gym so maybe I need to check my step goal a little bit. I put this 20 mile goal on my back but only because I knew it was attainable physically and took no consideration into my available time. I'll back down a little bit on that one as well.

    Next weeks goals are:
    6.5K steps average
    Run 10 miles
    4 days in the gym
    1 night of Jiu Jitsu
    2 sessions of Yoga

    Keep it going.

    Did not make goals

    Thurs - 1570 steps
    Fri - 1597 steps
    Sat - 1943 steps
    Sun - 1670 steps
    Mon - 1342 steps
    Tues - 2207 steps
    Wed - 2125 steps

    Total steps = 10,784 steps. Average: 1541 steps per day
    Total exercise = 0 days

    I didn't quite make goals. Cold weather. Wasn't motivated to leave the house. I have no excuse, though, for not choosing to do things at home. I'm so tired of this cold weather.

    Goals:
    1. Average of 2,000 steps per day.
    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.

    Boudreaux ~ I remember well how difficult it was finding time to exercise (the way that I wanted to) while having a job and other responsibilities. Time was at a premium.

    Good for you that you made partial goals anyways!

    Mamabug ~ You were able to get a good amount of steps in, even though you didn't feel motivated.

    Next week will be better for you.

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

    Partial goal met .

    I walked over 6000 steps on only 5 days, but managed average 6975 steps/day.

    I have not felt motivated at all this week. I am guessing that it has a lot to do with low Thyroid levels. I have decided to go back to my older goal of 5K steps on at least 6 days a week, but will keep the average goal of 6K steps/day.

    msgijo ~ I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling well.

    It must be extra difficult and frustrating for you, as you are a very active person on a daily basis. You were able to make your average daily step goals, so that's a plus.

    I hope that you are feeling better soon, and back to being able to accomplish all of your activities.
