JFT Mon 28/12 The holiday is over, so I am buckling down once more.
1. Prelog/follow through/90+ minutes exercise/8500+ steps/8 cups liquid.
2. Clear away all the guest stuff from family visit.
3. Enjoy time with my hubby.
4. Work on my new jigsaw.
I had a very busy morning followed by a relaxing afternoon on Mon.

I was so busy commenting on the art work yesterday that I forgot to post my goals. I pre logged, followed through and met my step goal for the day. Also watched the first two episodes of series 4 of Game of Thrones. I bought the boxed set for my hubby for Christmas.

Hey, snow shoveling is another low impact exercise, but I don't know how much fun it is! (At least where I live, because it snows often, November through May.)

I have minions for that job! I stand at the window and rub my evil hands together while they suffer!

Thank you! Hang in there! Can you do what you were doing before just not so intense? It may feel strange at first but at least you are still doing something you like.

Most of them have low-impact options but it may be too sad and I might not be able to help myself. I'll give it a shot, though, and see how it goes.

Oh! Come on! Where's your happy thoughts!

This is a perfect opportunity to branch out, expand your hoilrizons and grow!

You get to try lots of new exercises, you lucky thing!

How about .... rowing!?! Do you live near water, is there a rowing machine at the gym or recreation center, can you buy a used one off the internet?

Or...biking, swimming, water aerobics, walking, elliptical, stairs or stair machine, WEIGHT LIFTING, kayaking, sailing, Tai chi, rock climbing, hiking, yoga, pilates, resistance bands, snow shoeing!, step aerobics, ballroom dancing, rollerblading, cross country sking, down hill sking or golf!

C'MON, I'm trying to feel sorry for myself here and you're being all helpful-like. LOL. I actually do a lot of others things. I do lift three times a week but follow it up with some cardio. I live in San José, CA so no snow here but I also do the elliptical, biking, a lot of walking, etc. I'm just mourning the loss of my beloved workout DVDs.

Anyway, on to daily business.
