    Dang I should have looked on here earlier in the month. Only a few days left of April now but I guess that doesn’t mean I can’t start walking anyway

    But you found us and that's wonderful. May is just a few days away to join in on a full month of support.

    Don't be disappointed. Injury is the only thing that stopped your strength workouts and that's something we can never predict. Hope you are back to your old self very soon and showing us all how it's done!

    @VeggieGirlforLife, I am so sorry that you suddenly got injured and are having a lot of pain in your back. My only suggestion for you is to use ice also. That is what my chiropractor recommended when I had a very horrible muscle spasm in my neck/shoulder years ago.
    I do hope that you are feeling increasingly better. Hugs.

    Good job on everyone's goals and workouts. Well done!!

    Original Goal: Exercise each day and explore how to add additional fitness into my day, stay positive, and log in here at least nearly every day, especially when it seems like I don't have much to post because of my ankle.

    Most of this month I worked in the yard/ garden for my exercise/ activity. Because I continue to be limited in my ability to walk for exercise I'm doing anything I can find that includes a variety of body movement and activity.

    By the time evening comes I have been often too tired to think about posting on the forum, however I kept my exercise calendar up. I will do my best to be more regular posting next month, as often as possible. Thank you for your patience with me. You all are my inspiration to keep active and manage the pain with continued and hopefully increased mobility as my goal, but also to be wise regarding how much or how often I exercise or am extra active.

    April 1: 2.5 hours lighter garden cleanup- the lily boxes and some areas nearby.
    April 2: 3 hours lighter garden cleanup- removing leaves and other accumulated winter debris, cut back Plumbago
    April 3: 20 minutes slow steady walk in carpeted room, with side steps. Plus tidy the front yard a bit before the rain started
    April 4: Jessica Smith: Metabolism Booster DVD. upper body circuit walk (35 min)

    April 5: Rest Day!
    April 6: Jessica Smith: Metabolism Booster DVD. upper body circuit walk (35 min)
    April 7: 1 hour lighter garden cleanup- more removal of leaves, also additional raking leaves in the yard
    April 8: 1 hour garden cleanup continues
    April 9: 1 hour garden after winter cleanup still continues
    April 10: Extra Rest Day
    April 11: 1 hour 20 minutes garden weeding and also cleanup continues

    April 12: Rest Day!
    April 13: 2 hours clean up in the yard after the wind storm this weekend
    April 14: 1 hour + Busy morning including grocery store
    April 15: Extra Rest Day
    April 16: Semi Rest Day and an unexpected long nap, 30 minutes outdoors tidy-up in the front
    April 17: 2 hours more cleanup in the front including cutting branches/limbs off the red-bud tree and trim back foliage in front of house
    April 18: 1 1/2 extra indoors cleaning

    April 19: Rest Day!
    April 20: 3 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 21: 3 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 22: 2 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 23: 2.5 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 24: Extra Rest Day
    April 25: 3 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 26: Rest Day!

    April 27: 2 hours+ grocery store
    April 28: 1.5 hours garden/ yard or porch work
    April 29: 2 hours extra indoors cleaning
    April 30: 3 hours garden/ yard or porch work including hand watering

    April Goal-Walk Outside or with Leslie, 30 minutes every day!

    4/1-Neighborhood walk-30 minutes=2 miles total
    4/1-30 Vivofit tracked 57.7 miles=59.7 miles total :sad:

    OK, well forget April! I have never taught 175 students online before and I will NEVER do it again either!!!! I had 2 face-to-face classes that went online because of COVID 19, but they have a 37 student seat count and our online classes have 25 so in essence, I had 7 online classes! :noway: The bigger problem was that the 2 face-to-face classes had students in them that did not want to be, nor were they very good at, being online!!!! I have been glued to this computer, holding hands and being encouraging on email and Zoom all month!!!! Zoom fatigue is a real thing and I am ZOOMED out!!! :laugh: I have never been so glad to see a semester end in my life!!!! I am not sure how May will be, but it cannot be worse than March & April!!!!

    Walk Strong if you Can! :bigsmile:

    Mary, I think you exceeded your goal for April. I think gardening is good medicine. :)

    @zichab, what a month you had :| . I so hope that May will prove to be a better one for you.

    Thanks, @AnnofB, for the encouragement! Gardening and outdoor work certainly has been good medicine for me. Not very aerobic but definitely a lot of different kinds of movement going on, plus the happy factor of being outdoors.

    See you all in May!
