@VeggieGirlforLife planning a bathroom remodel will certainly be a distraction as well as uplift your spirits as you see beautiful things happening in your bathroom! Are you going to be doing the actual work or contracting it out? Just curious, because either way it's a great thing to be happening for you!!
Your miles/ exercises are amazing this week!! Good for you 💪 .
🤠🌺
Thanks @texasgardnr. It feels good to be getting some miles and strength in again. My body feels better anyway. And sore!
I am doing some of the remodel work myself and I'm getting help from family. Lucky for me, I have an uncle who used to be a plumber. I have old cast iron plumbing which needs to be updated. My largest concern is how to get the cast iron tub out! Should be interesting. I'm looking forward to the demolition part. I think it might be a fun stress reliever to bust up the tile on the walls and the floors.

@texasgardnr Are you enjoying your rebounder with walking? I think I might get mine out and try that again sometime.1
-
@VeggieGirlforLife I do believe that I am enjoying using the rebounder because using the rebounder is easier on the joints. I have not been able to do hardly any cardio exercise for all of this year. I have been doing other things like yard/garden working, but that is not truly cardio at this time.
You know how Leslie talks about how exercise making us feel happy with those endorphins being released ... well I have been missing that a whole lot. When I do try to walk for exercise either outside or an LS DVD on the floor or on the rebounder I just start the pain cycle again.
So now I'm just doing LS classic moves as much as they can be done on the rebounder with out using the DVD for now, and plan to rebuild my stamina again. I'm currently doing this for only 5 minutes at a time with a couple of minutes cool down each time. My plan right now is to continue this 2 or 3 times a day for now. And see how much I can improve over time.
It was fun and interesting to do an LS DVD while on the rebounder and you just might like it for added variety 😎 .

tonights a bit of a rant, so sorry for what you're about to read but this is probably the safest place I can post this.
Yesterday Hubby and I did a 1-mile walk mainly to calibrate his Apple Watch. The walk was slow b/c he still struggles some days with foot pain but he walked the whole mile. Unfortunately, we walked to slow for my Apple watch to register it for any exercise minutes. lol, Someday's I resent that feature of the watch.
Today I received a call from a client whose office I was at last Thursday. The call was to notify me that a staff member had tested positive for COVID-19. Great! While I did not have any contact with that employee I did have contact with their direct supervisor that day. The even better/worse part is that Supervisor knew and had known for 2 days that the employee had tested positive and had not said anything to anyone yet and didn't until later that afternoon. My companies protocol is we wear a mask at all times when dealing with a client. So I'm better off but no one in that whole office had a mask on that day or really any other day we've been there. So no one in there had the thought to notify me until 6 DAYS after I was there. My hubby is LIVID. it's just the 2 of us in this business, if 1 gets sick we pretty much stop functioning as a business. I'm just so upset that this level of irresponsibility is acceptable. I get a COVID test tomorrow morning which I feel 99.3% sure will be negative but still. 🥵🤬😡3 -
1 hr fast stepping and basically aerobics with leslie (express mile and hips and thighs walk) and 20 minutes with dh and pup outdoors strolling!

I'm going to keep my August goal again for September: I will do a variety of activities or exercise this month, however, I want to try to change them up a little more when I am able. 🏃♀️👟 . Currently I am mostly 'walking' using the rebounder 2-3 times a day for short segments. I do walking moves, occasionally including HIIT segment(s). This is how I am reintroducing some cardio back into my life. I'm monitoring pain levels and aim to increase as I can.

Last night I did a lower body circuit with Jessica Smith. This morning I was awake before sunrise, so I did a little sunrise walk and snapped some photos.
Good Morning from SW Michigan.2 -
@Deeder522 I really like your photo! Especially how the sunrise is beautifully framed by the tree leaves from above and the field and pathway leading towards it from below. Looks like you had a lovely morning to walk in 🏃♀️.

Hate this for you! Hope your food inproves quickly. Please check with us and let us know how it's going.
BTW,
I've had several Fitbits over the years. Right now I'm using an Alta. My first one was a Zip. My Alta has been pretty reliable. Have you checked with Tech Support at Fitbit about your problem? I've had issues from time to time and even washed my Zip (it went through the washer AND the dryer.) FitBit sent me I new one when I emailed them to see if there was a way to revive it. It was just out of warranty and I was surprised but really pleased that they did that.2 -
Holy Crap!! So yesterday I was a beast. After my short morning walk, I got to play pickup sticks in the yard and later I ended up mowing the back yard. My Apple Watch was going off left and right with excitement.
Move goal 1048 / 400 calories.
Exercise goal 98/30 minutes
Stand Goal 17/12 hours
14,440 steps = 6.7 Miles

Wow, you are on fire! Well done.
P.S. I sent you an email about the Covid19 situation you wrote about. You might not have received it since I was having some computer issues here on MFP. Just wanted to say I'm very happy for you that you are Covid19 free! And shame on the client business for not being on top of the situation. That should not have happened.
