Way to go
Tonya!!
You are doing great! You must feel wonderful to be making such progress, and I'm sure all that exercising is really hellping. Re: the exercise points, yes, it is based on three things: weight, intensity level, and duration. For example, an hour of moderate activity at 232 earns you five points. (Moderate is defined as "Activities that probably make you break a sweat. Examples include walking at a fast pace (4 mph) or biking 10 to 20 mph." High is jogging or running, 6 mph, or competitive swimming/biking.) An hour of light activity (stretching, walking at a leisurely pace, activities that do not make you sweat) earns you 3 points. Hope that helps! They'll give you a little slider calculator soon...
JOYce, it is so good to hear from you! Glad to hear you got off jury duty; yeah, I know we all need to do that sometimes, as good citizens and all that, but I don't know anyone who looks forward to it!! And especially now, with all you have going on. I'm sorry to hear about your sister's blood clots; glad they were able to catch it, though, and give her the coumadin or thinner. I hope you enjoy your trip to AZ! Are you going to Phoenix?
Not much happening here. We've had lovely weather lately, but we're all down with colds. Dad's feeling better now that his medicine is kicking in. Dh and I have been very good with program this week, so he's hoping for a good loss on Saturday.
Gotta run! Have a historical society meeting in a little while. Hi to
Texaslady, Janet, Carol, Linda, and
Lilithu!
