Friday’s check in
Calories: over
Exercise: walked in 5 minute chunks total 35 minutes 4/5
Water: ✅
Steps: 5,457 3/5
DBF: 10
My doctor was able to prescribe some pain medication for me yesterday. It helped last night but it does make me sleepy. I am going to try my best to use it as little as possible. I am going to revamp my goals for October. With walking not working out for me I am going to try and figure out something else. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I am limited due to my shoulder and my leg. Time to do some research.
I went over calories yesterday. I made a few poor choices and had some higher calorie foods. 🤦♀️ Back to the drawing board. I am off grocery shopping and my granddaughter will be coming over later. I only have 1 of the girls tonight.
The October challenge officially starts tomorrow. Here’s to an amazing month!
Goals for week
1. Walk at least 35 minutes 5x/week
2. Stay within calorie goal
3. 7,000 steps 5x/week

Calories: less than 100 over
Exercise: ✅
Water: work is progress
Steps: 18,539
Had another great day overall. Completed my 10 Round Workout in the am then walked 4.3 miles. I was Conscious of my calories and tracking all day. I need to stay focused today going out to dinner tonight. I am taking rest days today/tomorrow on 10 Rounds because I am sore and you are supposed to but need to get steps in prior. Hopefully the fam will be up for a walk or hike. Hard to fit it in to go myself on a weekend when they are around.1 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970, I'm sorry but I won't be able to continue doing the step challenge. I've reinjured my left knee and so walking is out until it gets better it's too painful to put a lot of weight on it.4

I just googled the 10 round workout. It sounds intense. What made you interested in this workout? You should take that rest day if you feel you need it. We don’t want you to end up with an injury.Marigorringo wrote: »Steps:

Exercise 21 minute treadmill
Went grocery shopping and then got lazy and didn't do much in the evening. Finally decided I needed more steps and did 21 minutes on the treadmill at like 9 pm while watching a show with my husband.

@lindamtuck2018 I subscribe to beach body online and 10 Round is the newest program. I love the trainer for this one. It combines cardio & strength training. I do need to rest though because I had a knee injury a couple months ago so I modify the exercises if needed to ensure I don’t over stress it.1

Thanks Linda! Elliptical counts as steps, so that, some treadmill running and a 3 mile morning walk and a 4 mile evening walk. Trying to get outside as much as I can before it gets too cold for me (which is pretty soon for my preference). Got a super long 8 mile walk in today with my whole fam this morning.
I hope you have some healing on your shoulder and leg. I have had a menagerie of injuries over the years, torn rotator and leg included. Both together is very hard, so sorry for your discomfort, I know it is painful. Rest is so important.
Some of the PT exercises for my shoulder: waiter carries, mouth pulls, standing Y's, side laying external rotations, high to low rows with bands, reverse flies, deltoid rows, lawn mower pulls, etc.
Torn rotator cuff is very common, but good news is that you can recover completely without surgery most often. Mine healed once I really rested it and did my PT exercises consistently. So do not feel guilty for resting. It took a long time for me though. But I am back to doing everything again without pain now.
Wishing you healing and wellness.
Have a great Saturday night!
