I've been away from PC for a bit. That's great! Congratulations!

Since my last update (over a week ago) I've filled in most non-class days with either cardio or various light weights, muscle exercises, stretching and balance. Really just an assortment of not very intense things. Not a routine. I just made it up as I went along. But I'm happy to be getting back to a pattern of doing something almost every day. I've been happy to exercise outside a lot now that it's spring, which is a nice mood boost.

Hey starry.

Welcome Altarian. Yeah, the first thing I did about a year ago when I started all this, was go to a stretching class. Like you, my muscles were fairly sore and tired right after that. Years of being sedentary will do that to you.
Thanks for this!

I went for a 3 mile walk / jog yesterday. I was so proud. Today I did cardio at the gym. Tomorrow, I'm planning for another walk / jog outside at the lake, in the morning. I need to do my pt exercises and stretch more. But my shoulder is getting better.

Hey Coco, I hear you. I don't do well in hot temps either. Its been in the 80s here and I'm so ready for it to be jeans and scarf weather again It kind of went from winter to summer here, it seems. Quite drastically.

Hi Ceph I'm glad to see you here.

Welcome, Altarian!
Thanks for this!

Monday & Thursday were the usual classes which went well.

Tuesday was manual labour that was hard on the feet but not good exercise. Ah well, at least that particular chore is done and dusted for the year.

Wednesday I did cardio.

Today (Friday) is normally a rest day, but I might change things around a bit. I did some leg work today, but nothing grand.

I'm encouraged to keep at it by everyone plugging away here. Go team!
Thanks for this!

I have walked a couple miles today. Three quarters of a mile was up hill, sometimes steep for me. As a consequence, my heart went up to 167 bpm. I burned 560 calories. By the end of the day, I will have consumed about 3000 calories. I am trying to gain a couple pounds, so I have increased my calorie intake by 50%, and reduced my exersize by the same percentage. It has been almost a week of this and my weight has remained at 174 to 175 pounds. Once I gain a few pounds, perhaps to 180, I will return to walking four miles every other day. My goal is to be able to run a good distance, let’s say a half a mile to start. That would be awesome. Probably not until sometime next year. I am using MFP to count calories including calories burned along with the use of a fitness watch to track my walking.

@starrysky Good going! Keep on trucking!

PS I was getting lonely on the other diet thread with just two of us posting there most of the time.

I had about 13500 steps yesterday. For some reason, my watch and app are not syncing today. Paddled this morning but not really much exercise. Went with one of my kids and had him in the kayak and me on the SUP and we paddled a canoe trail through a cypress swamp that was a very cool place to be and we caught a few fish, but it really wasn't that much exercise; maybe a mile or so of paddling. Will get some walking in when it cools down.

Weighed 159 this morning.

Nice Canoeing sounds very fun. 13,500 steps sounds like a lot.

The past few days, I haven't been exercising. I have a UTI, and had a reaction to the medication the doctor put me on today. Its a bit chilly out, but I think tomorrow I will walk by the lake or by my parents house.

Thanks Tucson! Welcome to the daily exercise thread Feel free to post about other stuff in terms of your own wellness besides exercise (if you'd like).

I was wondering why you are trying to gain weight? If that's to personal of a question, sorry and feel free not to answer!

Not personal at all. I am a bit paranoid about losing too much weight. My arms are thin, I thick too much so. Last year my weight lost was out of control. My weight dropped from 235 pounds to now 175. This happened in a relatively short amount of time, sometimes losing a couple pounds a day. I managed to stop the weight loss. However, not too long ago, I was at 178 to 179 pounds. Without meaning to, here I have lost some more weight. However, if I gain too much weight, I will no longer to be able to fit in my new wardrobe. For instance, my old pants are at least over five inches too large.

I was arrested for a DUI where I almost hit a mother and her child broadside. Went through two red lights. I have no memory of this. First time in my life I felt terrified over what almost had happened, which caused the weight loss. FWIW the charges were dropped since they found nothing in my blood to have caused this. I am seeing a neurologist later this month over this and other matters. I am still not over it even though this happened almost a year ago. I am relieved no one was hurt. I would of never been able to forgive myself otherwise.

PS Anyways, I apologized in advance if I sometimes carry on about the distance I walked, the speed I had attained, and my peak heart rate, and total calories burned. I have a fun toy on my wrist which is a fitness watch. It provides me with so much information, most of which I really do not need. However, it does motivate me to improve my previous stats.
