I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 5 years, and plan to continue doing so.
Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by. However, this week was busy (and not always awesome), so I did not note much in either category.
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: I (mostly–I was a bit tired) enjoyed a walk home from the bakery, munching on a muffin while I off-loaded books into various Little Free Libraries on the way. 34 minutes.
- Sunday: After a good night’s rest, I took a morning walk with Mr. PiN. The weather was beautiful and the company great. 39 minutes.
- Monday: A walk part way home, 20 minutes. And then a workout with my trainer, 30 minutes.
- Tuesday: I had to walk home today, and it was unseasonably warm. I was a bit dehydrated, which made my walk slower and less pleasant than I was expecting. 44 minutes.
- Wednesday: I had my lesson on another unseasonably warm day. My lesson was 60 minutes long, but I may subtract 10 minutes for all the panting, resting, and water drinking that was necessary to get me through the lesson. My sore legs let me know I was working out, too.
- Thursday: I walked into work this morning. It was much cooler, and very pleasant, but I was still tired. I stopped to get coffee (I didn’t want to take the time to make it at home), so I’m not 100% sure how long it took. I will say 42 minutes.
- Friday: I totally forgot to write down whether or not I exercised. Since I made my goal already for the week, and then some, I will put down a zero for today.
Total: 179 minutes of walking, 30 minutes strength training, and 50 minutes of tennis, for a total of 259 minutes.
