I’m happy with my progress. Today’s run had 3 walk breaks for a total of about 2 minutes.

@77tes I like your comment about how it’s a great time to practice learning, and adjusting even during these busy moths.
I’ve done this a bit lately too. Took a look at what I’m doing well and where I am falling ‘short’ and asking if I can modify to give myself a little grace right now.

Another MFP friend shared this article recently and I like some of the ideals on habit change!

Everyone is doing so great. @Michieb125 Appreciated the article. This sings so true. The line that struck me the most are the 5 people you are with the most has the biggest influence. Yikes! I need to think about my environment and the cues that get laid out. @77tes I love the example of your daughter's mobility training. Prep is everything. Yesterday my brother had hip surgery. The operation was done with about 10:30. It took until 6:30 to have a room available. There were 5 families still waiting. This is a new hospital in our area. They said this is an everyday issue. It must be so frustrating for the nurses trying to take care of these patients with the room shortages. The good news is my sister-in-law started driving again so I won't have to take her to dialysis 3 times a week. She lives about 35 minutes from me. So this saved me 15 hours a week for the next two weeks. I don't mind helping out, but it all adds up. I am about to go do something fun to stretch out my back from all that sitting. Enjoy your day.

Overall a good day I am pleased with the hospice care my mom is receiving it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Still not much exercise, I have kept up with meditation some gentle stretching but now waiting for results of hip X-ray I am thankful to be here with minimal injuries but it sure has put a dent 😂 in my daily exercise!

Happy Birthday tomorrow @77tes and I can't think of a better way to spend it than a walk at a botanical garden.

@snowshoe072 glad you have a good report and can manage. a win for sure! Glad hospice care is helping also. They were a godsend for my Mom and I wish we had thought to do that with my Dad who passed before her. And even with my Mom it was my brother and I asking for it and not the Drs advising. They were all about more procedures..

@77tes Happy Birthday early! Glad you had a wonderful time at the Botanicals. The Camellias are beautiful. Great job on walking & lifting.

@snowshoe072 So glad the x-ray came back well. Hospice is fabulous. You need the help.

@TerriRichardson112 Great job on core exercises. I love your SWSY. Burrr! I don't do well in the cold. Glad you only get a frost.

Yesterday I was so tired. It really surprised me. Today I got a bike ride in. Slow and easy, but done! I also put on several meats in the oven. Ready for tomorrow & the weekend.

@77tes Happy belated birthday! 🎉

@snowshoe072 Glad to hear you received a good report.

Today’s run shows improvement! 😀

@77tes Wishing you a very Happy belated Birthday! I hope you felt celebrated! And, I so admire your dedication to your exercise habits in this busy month.

Thinking of you @snowshoe072 during this time, and glad your x-ray turned out maybe a little better than expected.

Love your tracker @hcoleman232 - you had a great run!

@Learningmoments - good work getting all those crunches in!

Finally am over a fairly long cold/cough now - thankful I can get back to prioritizing my healthy activities now.
I think I’m going to bundle up and get my walk in early today. I just looked at the weather forecast here - no rain for at least 10 days! That means no excuses for not getting out and hitting my walking goals which also always boosts my mental state!
