Keep on Moving Club: February 2018

I walked 3 blocks to and again from local hair salon.

Adductors hurt. :(

ANN

[Howie]

But your hair looks WONDERFUL!!!

[Sunshine]

Whoa! That’s awesome walking ANN! Hope you awaken in less pain though...

[stillstANNding]

Thank you, Howie! And Sunshine.

Today I swam 700 Yards, 22 minutes. The heart and soul wants to swim more, but the leg muscles were starting to bounce around. Being careful of spasms, I stopped. It was warm out which made clean up easier after.

Sunshine and stillstANNding are racking up such great accomplishments!

Their circulations are improved, their muscles are toned up!

Howie's pedometer says what, I wonder? Maybe the cat got hold of it.

[Howie]

Sam, don't put too many steps on the pedometer, or Agate won't believe I did it!

[agate]

With 4 feet, wouldn't she have twice as many steps as you?

[Howie]

That might be okay! Actually, I haven't looked at it. I'll wait until I'm ready for bed.

[stillstANNding]

I did the modified MIL marathon: her house, lunch at a Thai-Cambodian restaurant, Trader Joe's then home. Everything that hurt yesterday hurts again.

[Virginia]

Regardless Ann, you are doing so great and so is Sunshine. Guess you guys get all kind of extra stars this week.

I wonder what Howie and Sam together are racking up on the pedometer?

[Howie]

Okay, I'll tell you yesterday's number, but not again until Friday. Yesterday I did 613 steps, my first day.

[stillstANNding]

That's good for one day, Howie, you've said the trailer is small.

Good start.

Pedometer readings:

2/4/18 - 1112 steps
2/5/18 - 921 "
2/6/18 - 1183 "
2/7/18 - 1463 "
2/8/18 - 782 "
2/9/18 - 1273 "
2/10/18 - 1127 "

Don't be discouraged, Howie. Some days are like that for me--on Feb. 1 my total was 586, for instance. I try to make up for not-so-good days by taking advantage of days when I feel up to more walking and making sure I get around to the walking even if I just pace up and down the hall of this building a few times. Is there any place where you can just walk around--a common building or maybe a walkway outdoors? There may be neighbors who routinely walk somewhere nearby.

I've heard of people going to malls just for the exercise. They walk up and down the malls.

Okay, I'll tell you yesterday's number, but not again until Friday. Yesterday I did 613 steps, my first day.

That is fantastic! Bravo!
