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
Mr. PiN and I went out to a belated anniversary dinner. We enjoyed a meal in a fancier restaurant than our usual; tasty food with a great view.
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: An afternoon walk, 20 minutes.
- Sunday: I was less lazy today, but didn’t do any formal exercise (I am not counting multiple loads of laundry).
- Monday: A walk to my pick up point, 20 minutes. A work out with my trainer later in the day, 30 minutes.
- Tuesday: I didn’t quite make it all the way to my pick up point before Mr. PiN drove up–we’ll call this an 18 minute walk.
- Wednesday: A tennis lesson today, 60 minutes.
- Thursday: A walk to my pick up point. I’ve started using a short cut through the hospital–I may have to formally time this route. I will call it 16 minutes.
- Friday: Nothing today, unless you count a few minutes of stretching to feel less like a pretzel after work.
Total: 74 minutes of walking, 30 minutes of strength training, and 60 minutes of tennis, for a total of 164 minutes. I met my goal!
