Fitness Log #223 And Friday Fabulousness

I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 4 years, and plan to continue doing so.

Soon after the pandemic started, I started keeping track of various firsts, as the world changed. It’s been nearly 3 years, and firsts are getting fewer. I will try to note any going forward.

However, I think I might benefit from noting something (or two, or three, if I am lucky) that I am grateful for each week. Hopefully something fabulous, if only to me. We will see how long I can keep this up.

Friday Fabulousness

I am so thankful for my friend’s gift of a sunrise alarm clock. I’ve had this for several years, but in the depths of January, I am so grateful to see the warm light when I have to wake up for work.

My sunrise clock is great, but not quite as great as this.

Fitness Log

The goal is to get 150 minutes of moderate exercise, of which (ideally) 60 minutes should build strength (yoga counts); if I am working in the hospital, my goal is just 90 minutes, which is a more realistic stretch during those busy days.

How did I do?

  • Saturday:  This was an at-home day, between finishing up work, study, and cleaning. No exercise.
  • Sunday:  I took an afternoon walk to and from the library to pick up a book I had reserved. 52 minutes.
  • Monday: No walk, but a work out with my trainer. 30 minutes.
  • Tuesday: A walk part-way home, 20 minutes.
  • Wednesday: Coffee with a retired friend, and then a walk home. 28 minutes.
  • Thursday: I walked part way home from work, 20 minutes. I just made my weekly goal, anything else will be a bonus!
  • Friday: I’m glad I had already met my exercise goal, as I wasn’t ready to do much exercise after work. It’s OK though.

Total: 120 minutes of walking, and 30 minutes of strength training. Goal achieved!
