    Only 1.1 mile 0f dedicated walking today.

    I did do 15 minutes of stair climbing though and 5 minutes shy of 1 hour playing organ/piano.

    Using my afternoon watching baseball and RE-laxing. :)

    I know, right? EV is running circles around us!!
    3.2 mile jog for me today. This is the second week I have dedicated to jogging on work days. It's exhausting, but totally worth it!! I feel so much better getting it done both physically and emotionally. I'm totally having a love affair with the pavement. lol!

    Nice job!!! You know what? I love the dedicated mile thing simply because science has shown that what makes a difference is not how fast you go, but how far you go. With at least 1 dedicated mile, you have that one moment in time where the distance is set and your goal is concrete. It's amazing getting in tons of steps in the day, but I look at the mile as a "me time, focus time" thing. :heart:

    Yeah, ev leaves me in the dust. LOL

    Thanks, ash. You did great today. :)

    Me, too, it is an exercise in my ability to focus and accomplish.

    I think your priorities are spot on, ev. :):)

    katbird, hope you have a great report on your procedure today.

    Great report on the procedure. No driving and no exercise today. I am hoping that after all the chemicals and sodium get out of my system that I will be showing a loss. Nothing but sugar free jello and low sodium chicken broth all day yesterday. Back on NS now and only 10 days until I leave for Hawaii.

    Good job, guys!!!
    I did not get my dedicated mile in today. Tonight is my 4th 12-hour shift in a row and I needed sleep desperately!!! I've only been getting between 4-5 hours each day so that I could get my jogging in. 7 hours of sleep today felt soooo good. I also kind of pinkie promised my co-worker I would sleep more today because last night I was really suffering from exhaustion and wasn't at the top of my game,

    Yup, I agree with your co-worker. You needed some down time. Glad you chose sleep. Smart move, ash.

    Wow, you guys are amazing!!! I took a break for a few days. Once I slowed down and listened to my body, I found a lot of pain, probably a strain somewhere in my right hip. Back in the saddle today though and will be leaving for the gym right now to fit it in before work.

    You all inspire me to keep going!!!

    Yes, please listen to your body, ash. You must be careful. Don't have a set-back.
