I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 6 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.
Friday Firsts
Mr. PiN and I played on a reserved indoor court for a whole hour (okay, most of an hour). I think he enjoyed it; I certainly 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: 30 minutes of strength training, taken care of before noon.
- Sunday: An indoor day (on call). I did not get my exercise today.
- Monday: It was finally warm enough to walk partway home. 17 minutes to my pick up point. (I considered another walk later, but was tired and cranky, so I rested instead.)
- Tuesday: It was warm enough for me to walk to my pick up point again–I was thrilled. 17 minutes.
- Wednesday: My tennis teacher had a medical appointment, but Mr. PiN and I played on our own, as I had already reserved the court. 55 minutes of tennis.
- Thursday: I started out on my walk after work, but the weather deteriorated. Mr. PiN picked me up a little closer than usual. 16 minutes. I think I just need to go for a short walk tomorrow to meet my goal. Hopefully I’ll be up for that.
- Friday: Between knowing how close I was to meeting my goal for the week, and the great weather after work, I was ready to take an evening walk. 20 minutes.
Total: 70 minutes of walking, 30 of strength training, and 55 minutes of tennis, for a total of 155 minutes. I met my goal!
I hope you have had a good week. Feel free to share any fabulous news of your own.
