Walking, Weigh In & Managing

Friday, March 8

Walked 1:03, 3.20 miles

Walked town, while Jay had tennis practice.  Ended up walking through Airport and climbing a steep incline at the very rear of the development.  I was grateful that I managed to make it to the top. 

Wednesday, March 13

Walked 34:18; 4 laps/2 miles

Difficult walk.  My legs bothered me the entire walk.  Plus, Mother Nature was acting bi-polar.  Snowing to the point of almost white out conditions, followed by bright sun.  Repeat.  Regardless, it was quite cold.

Thursday Weigh In

Considering I only managed to walk 5 miles this week and spent 3 days basically sedentary, I'm quite happy with the scales.  I weighed in at 196.8.  Down .6 pounds.  It's a loss.  I'll take it!

Managing

I am struggling.  I'm hurting and tired.

Last night, my leg muscles felt as if they were solidifying.  It just plain hurt to walk.  My knees and hips, as well as my shoulders, ache. Laying on my side at night, I feel as if my body has no support and I'm folding in half.  The extra pillow gives a small amount of help. 

This morning, I slept in until 11:30.  But, I don't feel rested. 

As a result, today's goal is to vacuum the living room, kitchen/dining room and the stairs.  So far, I've vacuumed & dry mopped the living room, kitchen and dining room.  When I get the stairs done, I'll call it a successful day.

In addition, I'm in the process of washing some laundry.  Mount fold-more is quite considerable. 

Also, I've managed to:
  • Make iced tea for Tim
  • Wash dishes
  • Run the dishwasher
  • Empty the dishwasher
  • Found the missing bowl--Yay!
So, if I get nothing else accomplished, I'm quite happy with how much I've accomplished today.
