Hello everyone! Great job working through your goals this month! I have so far met my 6 day per week workout except for one week. Yesterday was a beautiful day outside here in WI so I took my walk outside. I've been trying to get out with the dog each day when weather permits as well since I'm working at home now and cooped up here all day. Not doing as well getting strength training in. I am going to try to focus on adding a few days as I know it is good for me. Let's finish March strong! Stay well everyone!2

@anname9203 - you are having a great March!
Strength training seems to be that thing that most of us have a hard time with. Not a fan of it, myself. But.. we know we need it, so...
Keep going strong!

No way I am making my goal this month, but then who could have predicted the twists and turns March would take!!! My goodness! I am beginning to understand how my mother felt during the polio epidemic and why she was a fanatic about our vaccinations!!!
Most of our students seem to have settled into the routine of online classes, even though they do not like them much! :ohwell: It is much harder on us as professors though as everything is dealt with in text or video and you can tell from my limited mileage, they are very time consuming. Nevertheless, we will prevail as we have another whole month of it!
Oddly, I began March doing a Dry Challenge with another group that I am with! Can you imagine a worse month to be dry????? :laugh: I thought it would be good for me as I'd lose a couple of pounds fairly easily! :noway: Well that did not work at all considering how much time I have spend sitting since the 6th!!!
I am so looking froward to having a glass of wine with dinner tomorrow!!! I might even have 2 if I get all my grading done today! :drinker:
I am looking froward to April as I have a routine developed now and feel more in control of things. I hope all of you are well and keeping yourselves safe.

I just read through everyone's March workout/ walks. Way to go everyone!
I'm still experiencing ankle pain, but not near the amount I had in December/ January. I'm using the Orthotics I was told would help. It seemed to in the beginning, but I'm having mostly inconsistent results with it now, and the pain moves around without asking my permission :grumble: . I struggle a lot with this pain and the lack of exercise, but other times I think that I'm doing better so I add in some more activity, not necessarily exercise, but sometimes pay for it for the next several days. Some days I almost think it is getting better pain wise, but not activity wise. I gave it three months of light activity considering what I used to do, but I still have to do whatever needs to get done around here. Any way, I have been keeping my exercise calendar up, and it can be truly depressing to look at if I let it be, but on the brighter side it is better than recent previous months. I miss WAH walking.
The bottom line is there is a lot of degeneration of the joint, arthritis and a number of other bad things going on. Apparently this has been going on for a while, but something threw me suddenly into excruciating ankle pain in December, enough that I went to the doctor and could not go visit/ help my newest grand baby in January .
It has been hard to always remain positive during this, but I am certainly trying to, at least most of the time.
I'm totally glad that there is Netflix :laugh: And with spring finally here I've just started to work in the yard/garden some!

Stay safe and walk strong during these difficult times, my friends 💖,
texasgardnr :flowerforyou:1 -
Oh @texasgardnr I am so sorry about your ankle pain and the limitations from it. I empathize greatly as I've had many ankle and feet problems my whole life. Please be careful, I definitely understand your frustration in missing the walks, but it really isn't worth it to get hurt and be set back even further.
Have you ever tried upper body boxing moves? It's something I do when my lower body isn't cooperating. I actually got the idea from Jillian Michaels. She said it was a great way to get your heart rate up and you can work on your muscle tone in your arms, back and shoulders at the same time. Jab, cross combos and upper cuts, that sort of thing. I'm thinking you might even be able to use a stretch band like the Miracle Miles band and sit on a stability ball or your sofa while using it to stretch across up and down? Might even be able to step on it and do some stretches like that without hurting your ankle?
I don't know if you like or have ever done Pilates, but I also do that when my feet are acting up. I especially like Winsor Pilates and you can find some of those on YouTube.
You may not be interested in any of that and it sure doesn't take the place of WAH walking, but I just thought I would make some suggestions in case it helps. Take care of yourself! :flowerforyou:

March Goal: 30 minutes a day of work out walking/strength (i.e. not the Garmin only) Hopefully this plan will help me meet my yearly challenge of 110+miles & 4 strength workouts each month.

Gosh, I only ended up 18.8 miles short which is not too bad considering the month I have had! I guess I'll take it an move on to April.
Oh no @texasgardnr! I am so sorry to hear this! It is very depressing when our bodies do not do what our minds command that is for sure. Then, when it interferes with us seeing our grand children?????? :noway: It has to go!! :explode:
You know we will all support you here and I think @VeggieGirlforLife has some great ideas that might help get your heart rate up so you feel better emotionally! I have had to get outside and walk to manage the emotional stress of this virus and its impact on my students and their futures. It has really taken an emotional toll on me and Leslie walks were not enough. As @VeggieGirlforLife says, maybe you need some Jillian Michaels workouts! :laugh:
Walk Strong & Stay Safe! :bigsmile:2
