Didn't do the aerobic video because after pushing my lawn for nearly 2 hours, then getting a bike ride in, I figured I'd had a pretty good day of activity, even if my step monitor only shows 8,000 steps. The bike ride had my heart rate at an average of 130 which was more of what I was going to use the aerobic video for anyway.
Didn't get the camera installed, but its not a huge priority, and didn't get laundry done because I mowed the grass later in the afternoon, waiting for the temps to warm up. But I can get the laundry on Monday if it doesn't rain, and if it does, I"ll just hang them up in the house.

didn't get the screening on the chicken house but figured I needed to wait until we're ready to finish it up anyway. and I didn't get the riding mower ready for the season because I push-mowed the neighbor's yard and don't want to change the oil in the mower until I can run it for a while.
But that was a lot of digging and planting, and then after the 40 minutes of push-mowing the neighbor's lawn, i went for a 23 minute bike ride! I'm going to be sore tomorrow.....1 -

I managed a deficit yesterday so my goal today is to do that again.
i managed to get the clothes put away but then decided to sort my wardrobe out and packed away winter and brought out the summer stuff. Because I haven't really lost anything in 12 months everything from last year still fits but none of my new stuff does so that's my motivator at the moment.1 -

Do one load of laundry: wash, dry, fold, put away0 -
Well, this falls into that category of -- WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING!!!???
So, bought new sheets, laundered them. Have been meaning to put them on the bed for several days and didn't. I decided today was the day. Stripped all the blankets, sheets, pillows, etc off the bed. Pulled the bed out and angled it into the room so I could get around the whole thing. Put on the bottom sheet ... always tricky with just one short person who has short arms. Remembered I needed to turn the mattress so pushed, pulled, shoved, etc ... and got it done. Except in that struggle the bottom sheet came off. UGH. So, again, put bottom sheet back on, tucking in, pulling, stretching to keep other corner on ... JHRC!!! ... I'm exhausted.
Wouldn't a "normal" intelligent woman of 72 years know better??? I think isolation is fuzzing my brain. 2 -

TO DO
--get 7,500 steps (this will be a challenge since its raining and I won't be able to walk outside)
--stick to meal plan
--fold towels & put away
--put away laundry from Monday
--get aerobic session in
--practice piano piece for Sunday (while the church services are being live-streamed during the shutdown, I still go down to play so the service is as normal as we can make it. Less than 7 people there including me, the pastor and his wife, the singer, and the sound tech, and with the size auditorium we have, social distancing is not a problem!)
--start an introductory stretching routine?

I have one I do every day that I really enjoy. I know a lot of people don't like him but he does NOT speak at all in this video. There is no speaking whatsoever which is one reason I like it so well. Also, it's set to classical music so there are no jarring or loud notes. It's on YouTube -- Richard Simmons Stretchin' to the Classics.0 -
@cesse47 thanks! I also scrolled through YouTube yesterday and found a few more I might give a try. I was looking for some more beginner low impact aerobic videos than run about 30 minutes long. I like the ones I found 2 weeks ago, but they only have about 3 videos for beginners, which I want to stick with for now mainly because I can't handle all the squats and lunges that show up in their other videos. And I need variety - doing the same 3 videos over and over gets stale really fast

okay, I didn't get the clothes folded, the piano piece practiced, or the stretching routine in. But I did stay under goal, I did get the aerobics in, and I got an extra 40 minute elliptical session on this evening in lieu of my regular walk or bike ride because of the rain. And I just spent 2 hours across the road at mom's setting her up a facebook account and downloading facebook and facebook messenger to her phone and kindle so she could face-time with her granddaughter and watch the church's livestream and videos now. So while not what I had intended to do originally, but I figured it was time well spent anyway.
and I did get 10,000 steps in today! I didn't think I would make it, and with the poor sleep I had last night (I was lucky if I had more than 3 hours of honest sleep), all I wanted to do this evening was veg on the couch, but I pushed through with the 2nd elliptical session and got my steps in. Now it's time for bed!2 -

Didn't re-read my B.E. Program as had a work emergency I was dealing with most of the day, so that's now on this morning's agenda in between work stuff.

Granddaughter is home and messed up my routine. Did not get in all of the little walks and only about half of the yoga routine. Seems like any disruption can throw my routine off ... so, back at it today I hope (she's home all day today).
