Fitness Log #310, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness

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.

Mr. PiN and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at home Friday night.

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 late afternoon walk, 20 minutes.
  • Sunday:  I got a lift to the neighborhood bakery, and walked back. 30 minutes. It was a good walk: very pleasant weather, and I felt more comfortable than I have for a while. It makes me feel better about taking longer walks.
  • Monday: I was not dressed for the weather, so did not walk to my pick up point today. I did work out with my trainer, though. 30 minutes.
  • Tuesday: A walk to my pick up point, 17 minutes.
  • Wednesday: A tennis lesson, with a bunch of running for balls, 60 minutes.
  • Thursday: A walk to my pick up point, 17 minutes.
  • Friday: A walk around the neighborhood, 20 minutes.

Total: 104 minutes walking, 30 minutes strength training, 60 minutes tennis, for a total of 194 minutes of exercise. I beat my target handily, and felt pretty good doing it!
