My goal is to walk my dog at least 4 out of 7 days a week this month.

12/1...walked
12/2...walked though not as long as normal. We didn't get home till 10:30 at night, and it was really dark. I want to get her something glow in the dark for night time walks.
12/3...didn't walk
12/4...walked
12/5...walked
12/6...didn't walk
12/7...didn't walk

Week 1: 4/7 days woo!

I've been sidelined with pain since Nov 11. Yesterday I figured it might be IT band. I have started doing the stretches to help relieve it. My goal for December is to do IT band stretches and exercises every day.

I need to go back and update November's stats, but I wasn't as successful as I would have liked to have been. My December goal is average of 60 minutes of exercise per day.

I have been side-stepping joining this challenge every since I entered 3FC. So it is time to take another step towards dropping 99 lbs. Weight loss has really slowed down for me so I have to do more, and exercise is it. Besides I need to be more active.

And (I am saying "AND" rather than "but," going to try to not make my disabilities an excuse to not do anything anymore) ---- My right knee is going out, have to watch very close to not twist it in any way, a couple of months ago it did go out and I was practically immobilized for two weeks.

My feet hurt very bad if on them very long or walk much. Bursitis in my shoulders made it impossible for me to do push-ups or chin-ups, and makes it very difficult to raise my arms over my head. So running is out, very much walking is out, and most weight exercise is out. UGH

Today I tried a walk, walked half a mile, was afraid to venture further than a 1/4 out from house, did not want to become unable to walk back. Cannot crawl as I cannot get on my knees due to the extreme pain in my right knee. My feet and knees made it ok, however to my surprise my hips were hurting by the time I got back.

Regardless, I will start walking that half mile a day as long as I am able to, and if possible increase it later.

I do not have a name for it, but I will start laying on my back and raising my legs 30 times each both sideways and up four times a week. That is all I can commit to at this time.

Turned 73 today.

Happy Birthday, B F R! I'd call your leg exercises "leg lifts." You've got a great plan for exercise!

Tabbycat: I self-diagnosed IT Band Syndrome. Once I figured it out, stretches and leg exercises (including B F R's leg lifts) helped. I still can't run, though. I hoped getting the weight off would make a difference, but every time I try to run, the IT pain comes back. Fortunately, there are other ways to get in shape.

1: 30 min walk, 15 stretch & abs; 45/1400
2: 30 walk, 15 stretch & legs; 90/1400

Epic fail on November challenge. My MIL came home on hospice last week. So I haven't exercised in 8 days now. I am going to shoot for 1000 minutes for the month of exercise.

12/1 none
12/2 none

BFR Happy birthday! We recently purchased a recumbent exercise bike, it's pretty low-impact on the feet and shoulders, maybe not so good for your knee though...I remember doing those leg lifts, good exercise, may have to add some in.

Carma Hi, I'll be thinking of you

Grey day here, at least things are melting, was able to get outside for a walk so that was good.
Best to all
