Sunday Woo-woo JuJu
Omg, that is awesome Gemme. Wow, you had a big day of steps!
I am going to look into changing out the air filter on my air conditioning unit because I think Gemme is on to something important about dust and other micro bits of yucky stuff in the air. I've noticed that I have to dust often at home. Why, I have no idea because I have more hard wood floors than I have space covered in tapestry-like carpet. I vacuum the carpeted area often, because I know dust and stuff hides in carpeted areas. But how the dust and stuff gets inside my studio apartment I have no idea. But... I do need to replace the air filter on my air conditioning unit and maybe this will help filter out some of the un-seen elements residing inside my cozy home. I definitely want to look into an air purifier too. Thanks for your helpful tips, Gemme. I definitely want to look into getting an air purifier too, if I can find one that meets my needs at home. Today is Slug-Muffin Sunday, where I kind of get some exercise in (steps, house cleaning, wandering around the neighborhood). My step count is less that 3K, right now. Maybe I will get up to 5K by end of day. In other news, though: I did get a big important "To-Do" list element crossed off my list by high noon (Pacific Coast Time). Getting this done today is significant progress for me because I suffer paralyzing effects when it comes down to "Get It Done" type of scenarios, these days. I have no idea why I procrastinate on serious stuff that needs to be done in timely ways, but thank heavens I snapped out of it and got it done today. Go me, right? *lol* <<<<~~~ Huzzah! Now I can relax the rest of today and possibly go on a browsing errand (no shopping until March or April or maybe even May, but by May, most certainly). Happy Sunday to every one!

Walked to the local brew pub; had a beer; walked home. Uber won't do a half-block trip.

Just barely over 7K steps today and I'll take it.
Easygoingfemme's post causes me to daydream about the thrill of riding my bicycle, like I did a few years ago (22 mi/day/7 days a week, more on the weekends). Loved reading your post Easy.

I coasted past 9K steps today.
Which I probably won't get too many more days like this next week. Starting tomorrow and all through the weekend up until next Thursday, I am delving into my studies so I can pass that test next Friday. If I pass it, it will be a major achievement and lead to a much more comfortable existence (in the long run). *fingers crossed*

I had over 8000 steps logged on my phone. My phone actually counts steps. It doesnt count movement if I'm sitting, texting or playing games😲
My friend recently got a fit bit and I was helping her with the set up over lunch yesterday. She was clocking steps as we sat there eating?? Hmmm?? Upon some research, I found that the fit bit actually adds up with arm movements. Which reminded me of another person I knew, that used to just wave their arm in the air to acquire steps..lol. The step counts help with the company health discount benefits. I was puzzled when we compared steps throughout the rest of the day.. I wonder if my walking gait had anything to do with hers? We covered the same area, yet she had more. It was her arm movements..lol

Time to catch up on my exercise posts!
I exercised 1 hour a day at the gym each day for my whole week off this week, Sunday, Feb 16th through and including today, Saturday, Feb 22nd. I can't say I'm doing well with my paperwork I wanted to get done for work, but at least there is some mighty good times at the gym. Every day I did 30 or 35 minutes on the stairmaster Levels 1-3, 2 minutes each level, with "1"s for cool down, and then the rest of the time on the weight floor doing weights, stretching, abs, etc. My HR was 140s through 160s. Since I was able to go at off hours, I got my favorite stairmaster every time, and the heart rate monitor is even working on it! Wow, being off work sure makes life easy but I go back on Monday. I've been able to sleep in and cook and go to the gym. I think good sleep is so vital for intense exercise. And I haven't mastered that for the work weeks. I must keep trying. While not at work and the weather so cold and my fitbit not working, I've gotten very few steps. I am still enjoying having my health back.

Holy Smokes!!
I had 11748 steps yesterday. I went back 3 months, nothing comes close to that. I just have a feeling, I'll be doing that again. Mmmm, possibly 2-3 times a week. And, get paid💸💰💲

1 hr at the gym today. Tomorrow - back to work. Yikes! Figuring out how to still get enough sleep to be able to exercise.

30 minutes on the stairmaster today, and 10K steps during the day. My co-worker suggested we take a walk at lunch due to some nice weather. It was a treat.

I had a tremendously busy day at work today and I just took my fitbit off and it says I logged 9,221 steps. I think I'm coming to a turning point on my ability to walk better than I was with my cane. I've been busy with going to special appt's with a PT team at my regular clinic and I'm making progress. I still have lots of progress in the future, but I know that what happened to me has marked my life in ways that leaves me with mixed feelings.
But I'm glad I can walk, even if I can't run or jog or sprint or whatever. I can swim the backstroke and do water yoga type exercise and little by little I am building up my ability to ride my bike for short intervals of time. Tired, happy, content, and still working toward making progress. One day at a time.

Yesterday and today I was tired and did not go to the gym. Poor sleeping both nights, as in -- too little sleep. However, each day (yesterday and today) gave me 5K steps each because of work.

Today I swept two of the three outside flights of stairs. It was more of a workout than it sounds like because the steps are cement with groves the length of them which makes it difficult to get the dirt out no matter which way you sweep. Plus they were really dusty as we've been having a lot of wind storms. We're out in the sticks with many bare lots for sale, where a lot of sold homes are new/newer without well established lawns yet. Also around the development there are vineyards and large tracks of farmland, bare now in the winter so lots of dirt gets blown around.
