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.
Fabulousness
After 7 days off, I finally felt relaxed on Saturday. It wasn’t fabulous that I took so long to unwind, but I’m glad I finally did.
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 was tired, and my ankle sore, after the tennis clinic yesterday. I stayed home and lazed about–my first really relaxing day of vacation.
- Sunday: I took a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood and check out the Little Free Library to see if someone has yet taken my latest offering (no).
- Monday: My last day of vacation: walked in the afternoon, 20 minutes, and then worked out with my trainer, 30 minutes.
- Tuesday: Walked part-way home, 20 minutes.
- Wednesday: A tennis lesson, 60 minutes.
- Thursday: Walked part-way home, 20 minutes.
- Friday: No exercise today.
Total: 80 minutes walking, 30 minutes strength training, and 60 minutes of tennis. Despite feeling very lazy (and overwhelmed coming back to work), I met my goal with room to spare, with 170 minutes this week.
CME Goals
The goal is to watch at least 3 videos per week. I watched 4.
