ennay: good for you for figuring out what isn't working -- that's always a hard first step for me! I love tracking minutes because it's so flexible -- I can change things depending on my mood, the weather, and how my body's feeling. And, if I don't get as many minutes as I expect on one day, I can make it up on another.
The weather has been glorious of late, so I’ve abandoned my home gym in favor of outdoor walks…they’re much more enjoyable!

Joy and you are absolutely right, ennay...minutes are the way to go!

Well ... it is not exactly as I'd planned (walking and yoga)
so I don't know if it counts ... but I logged in 245 minutes
I'm happy ... and I will participate again in June and increase the time
Okay - I like "Sassy" and "SeeMyFeet" am not and have not been one to exercise consistently. When younger -- 30 some years ago -- I baled hay, rode horse, bowled, played tennis... but never really saw that as exercise - just fun. Today I cannot do any of the above.
My goal for May is the following:
- Walk 3 times a week - 10 minutes each time
- Chair yoga or chair exercise 2 times a week - about 10 minute circuits
Total time = 220 minutes
Not exactly as I planned for exercise -- but 5/31 at 245 minutes
to everyone in meeting their goal!
WOW -- so not doing this yet -- am I??
5/10 - 20 min - line dancing
5/14 - 50 min - walked my arsh off!
5/20 - 20 min - walking downtown
5/21 - 60 min plus (1.75 hours in walmart)
5/22 - 11 min - an ACTUALLY - I went out and walked walk!!
5/23 - 30 min - gardening (does that count??)
5/25 - 11 min - I took a walk again today
OH MY GOSH!! MY knees are feeling pain-LESS!!!
My left knee ... which 85% of the time, since scope in 1/2014, felt like a knife was stabbing it...
However, Wednesday a person prayed (YES PRAYED) over my knee ... and I have been pain free
since Wednesday. I speed walked through the grocery store ... the only time I've done this in the
last 10 years ... has been when I was on prednisone!! I'm NOT on prednisone!!
5/29 - 10 min - speed walking in grocery store!!
5/30 - 23 min - walking in wooded park (it was fun and less than a mile away. I will do this more!)
5/31 - 10 min - walking
TOTAL for MAY 245 June goal walking 300 minutes
