I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 4 years, and plan to continue doing so.
Some weeks I don’t feel so awesome about how things are going. I’ve found it helpful to acknowledge when things go well, or fabulously.
Fabulousness
Mr. PiN and I went out on the weekend to buy sneakers and then visited a bookstore for a while. It was a lovely time. The sort of afternoon that makes us say, we should do this more often, and then we don’t for another 2 years. Maybe we’ll go again sooner.
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: After such an active week just past, especially with the strength training Friday afternoon, I was tired and not up to exercise today.
- Sunday: I did not feel free to exercise today either. My mood was not the better for it.
- Monday: Back to my regular schedule, with a strength training session after work. 30 minutes.
- Tuesday: A walk after work to my pick up point, 20 minutes.
- Wednesday: A tennis lesson. 60 minutes.
- Thursday: A walk after work to the pick up point, 20 minutes.
- Friday: A walk after work, 35 minutes.
Total: 75 minutes of walking, 30 minutes of strength training, and 60 minutes of tennis, for a total of 165 minutes. Victory!
Well done! I fell short this week because I was away at a conference. I did manage to keep my step count at a reasonable number, though.
Thanks for the ‘well done.’ I always find that a conference gets me more steps than I think (especially if I have to go back and forth across a convention center a few times).
