  • This month, I expect to get back to more walking if this damned knee ever quits screaming at me! Walking to the Market for the newspaper is about a half hour a day. Today I'll try it.

    Sept 1 - 30 mins walking for paper (3 Advil )
    2 - same but only two Advil (30 mins)
    3 - after dinner walk (20 mins)
    4 - walked to dim sum and back - 1828 steps for the day
    5 - no walk except shopping
    6 - half hour walking country road to Philipsville graveyard
    7 - an hour giving three guys a village tour - a stroll not a real walk
    8 - 30 minute walk
    9 - about 45 minutes walking corridors at nursing home
    10 - Nada! Poured rain all day
    11 - 4970 steps just general walking around - no official walk
    12 -

    No proper walks for the rest of this month. My knee just hurts too damned much! I may give in and go for physio.
  • Depending on how long Dad lasts, I'll say between 350 (if he hangs on) and 800 minutes (if he pops off fairly soon).

    Sept 1st: 55 minutes (brisk walk)
  • I think this month I'm going to focus more on exercise then on why I'm not losing any weight.

    My goal this month is walk/run 3 times a week, at least 30 minutes each-so about 360 minutes a month

    And to do either pilates or some form of weight training 3 days a week about 240 minutes a month.

    Now to just do it! I've really got to fight this lazy gene I've developed.

    9/1 30 min walk/run
    9/3 40 min walk
    9/6 20 min walk

    9/14 30 min walk
    9/15 30 min walk
    9/16 30 min walk
    9/17 30 min walk
    9/20 60 min walk
    9/21 20 min walk
    -----------------------445 minutes so far not bad considering I was on vacation for 10 days.
    9/21 20 min walk
    9/22 35 min walk
    9/26 10 min floor exercises
    9/27 40 min walk
