This morning I took my dog for an approximately 30 min walk in the neighborhood. Several incidents along the way made it even more enjoyable than normal. I also have my last Aqua Zumba class of the week tonight, which will count for another half hour.
Yesterday I didn't end up going for an evening walk, which I said I may or may not do.0 -
Another energetic day following an energetic little boy. Went to the park yesterday, today we toured the farm.1

I love this idea. I want to get back into BIkram yoga, hike, play tennis, shop, explore, relax on the beach, volunteer at the animal shelter, etc. this will be fun!2

Gardening for about 45 minutes today. Trying to save a this aloe plant that was passed down to me. We will see what happens!1

I'm gonna go ahead and say I won't be doing anything physical today. Locked up my knee.0

Walked from my daughters house to a restaurant in their town with her and her husband and their son (in stroller). Also stopped and let the little guy walk around a park and explore to break up the long drive to their home.2

Thanks! My knee is still hurting today. Was going to walk in a 5K today but I had to cancel that. I'm taking this as a sign from the universe that I may need to slow down for a while and so I am using the next few days as an opportunity for self-reflection and meditation. I am still eating healthy, and we will see if I am able to get in the water on Monday. Today my enjoyable activity was a morning guided meditation. I need to keep my dog active, so I will probably sit on the back porch and throw the ball with her some (burn a few calories that way, I guess).2 -
More walking with my daughter today. We did a little shopping, too. It was great spending time with them. Back home tonight and back to normal.1
-
A lovely hour of restorative yoga after a couple challenging work days.2
-
Hard day to get exercise in, lots of the day behind a steering wheel getting people and farm equipment moved. Got some walking grocery shopping and Sams club, but that was about it. Did get a new fitbit today so I am looking forward to getting that set up tomorrow.1
-
Yesterday I was able to take a short walk down the street as my knee finally unlocked! Not a half hour because I wanted to take it easy but still awesome! Today I'm doing Aqua Zumba.1

Yesterday I had great hiking day1

My new fitbit reminds me to get up and move every hour. It felt good to look down and see I was in the fat burning zone several times today. Today was a big desk day, but I did get my 30 in 5 or 10 minute increments and feel less fatigued than if I hadn't moved throughout the day.
Yesterday I forgot to post. I went out and brushed my horses. Very nice spending some time with them and got my heart rate up, too.

Yesterday I went on a nice 20 minute bike ride with my husband to the gym in our neighborhood. Lifted weights for about 30 minutes and then rode back home. Nice, although it's interesting to note that a lot of adults in our area don't go biking ever.2

Made it to Aqua Zumba yesterday. I missed a class or two because I'm doing a Maymester (one semester crammed into 2 weeks) so the hours of class + the hours of work are long every day. So far I've managed to fit something in everyday. It always comes down to priorities. Television or exercise?1

Spent a couple hours with the horses today. A woman brought a Bemer electro magnet blanket out and tried it on each of them. They seemed relaxed, but not much different. Fun hanging out with them, walking out to get them, grooming, opening and closing gates. It was fun getting outside and moving around. And no rain today!1
