I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 7 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
My tennis instructor’s dog finally came to me for petting. The first time since I met him 2 years ago.
Fabulousness
I had the other 2 ladies from my weekly meeting over for tea this weekend, it was fabulous to meet in person again.
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: A morning workout with my trainer, 30 minutes. I also rearranged the living room furniture on my own.
- Sunday: No official exercise today. However, I was tidying the newly arranged living room before having friends over. There was a lot of going up and down the stairs, and then going back and forth to the kitchen.
- Monday: I had to get back and forth to work on my own. Somehow, I lost my bus pass (newly topped up!) and had to walk all the way home. 40 minutes.
- Tuesday: Now that Mr. PiN is home, I just had to walk 17 minutes to my usual pick up point to get home from work. Whew!
- Wednesday: A tennis lesson. It was shared with another student, and I ran a lot more than I usually do. 60 minutes.
- Thursday: It was a cold and rainy afternoon, and I asked Mr. PiN to please pick me up at the hospital. No exercise for me at all.
- Friday: The weather was rather different today, and I was able to get out for a walk in the crisp and sunny lunch hour, 20 minutes.
Total: 77 minutes of walking, 30 minutes of strength training, and 60 minutes minutes of tennis, for a total of 167 minutes of exercise. I met my goal!
I hope you have had a good week. Feel free to share any fabulous news of your own.
