Huzzah for mastering technology. Also for good workouts. :)

Got my 15k yesterday. Feet are reminding me that they haven't run in a while, so I'll be gentle to them today/for the next few days -- I do want to go run again on Sunday, though.

I had 16,000 steps today during which time I did an hour-long Bodycombat home video. That really is a great workout and I highly recommend it.

Great Job! I do the Body Impact and am going to do the a class they have called Guard next week at our Y. The Guard class is just the punching portion and speed bage where as at least by us The Body Combat class for me has to much kicking and with my knees that would not be a good thing. I use to do alot of that and it is a great workout!!

Yesterday 2/15 I did a CX class and then just walked on the indoor track to get my 15k workout steps and ended up with 17,773 total steps for the day. Been pushing hard and not getting much sleep last 3 days so tried to chill yesterday. Heading to the gym this morning!

2/16 - was so sore I couldnt do any classes so I kept it simple and did the Elliptical for an hour and got bored so then walked the track till I got my minimum 15k workout steps. Ended the day with 18,023.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #104 on:** February 18, 2019, 05:06:20 AM »

2/17- 2023 steps and thats not a mistake. I literally did nothing. Went to store and sat in my chair the rest of the day as I needed a day off and napped and slept good. Back at it today.

So I lost the charger to my Fitbit....still walking though just not sure what they are. Climbed steps all day and took a stroll around 3pm today. It was sunny for once! Considering a nice power-walk tomorrow since I'll be home all day. (can't run yet still working on it)

What kinda phone do you have if any? tons of free apps and Apple actually has one built in. Otherwise pedometers are really cheap or if you know how many miles you walked you can google the euqation but either way good that you just keep walking!!

Yesterday 2-18 I got back to the gym and between a Hitt Sprint class, Elliptical and A little walking I got over my 15k exercise steps closer to 16k and with snowblowing I ended day with 19,236

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #107 on:** February 20, 2019, 03:57:38 AM »

2/19- Did a Body Impact class, Elliptical for 45 minutes and then walked to get to my 15k Exercise steps. Ended day with 17,803.
Get back at it again today!

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #108 on:** February 21, 2019, 02:47:00 AM »

Where are my step counters?

2/20- Was really tough and took me over 3 1/2 hours to get my fitness minimum steps in but I did of 15k because I did a Moi cycling class which is all climbing and a CX class which is all bands and core work. Ended the day with 18,869

diapasoun · « **Reply #109 on:** February 21, 2019, 08:12:09 AM »

Got my 13k the last two days.

So far this year I'm seeing a definite pattern regarding which days I do and don't get my steps - Thurs-Sun is hardest, due to commitments I usually have on those days. Need to figure out how to best double down on those days.

Just got to make time for yourself first! I know easier said than done but some time out for yourself somewhere in the day for even a brief walk is better than not!

2/21- Speaking of time mine was messed with yesterday so I was able to only get just past 12k working out because I had to go to the Y at 5am and get back to take my kid to school and I the other one home has ortho appt today so have to figure it out so I practice what i Preach. Anyhow I finished with 16,516 for the day.

12k/16k's not at all bad for a busy day!

14k yesterday (yaaas). I need to compare the patterns for my good Thursdays versus my crappy ones; I know what's up with my low Fri-Sun, but Thursdays are a mystery.

Great Job!!!!

Yesterday was another struggle for me with a combination of waking up at 1:30am again and just beat. I did what I could an hour Body pump class, 1/2 hour on Elliptical and walked till 12k steps and then ended day with 14,299. I am already above that for today though i got a good night sleep or should I say better at least! lol

LOL , yep gotta do that once in awhile!

2/23- Went to the Y and my left knee was pretty sore so I skipped the classes and did an hour on the Elliptical and then walked the track to get my 15k Exercise steps and ended Day with 18,033 as with the weather here I did pretty much nothing after that.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #115 on:** February 25, 2019, 02:02:01 AM »

2/24- Well got 15,300 from exercise and 18,073. Did some Elliptical, Rowing and Walking. See what I can follow it up with today!

diapasoun · « **Reply #116 on:** February 25, 2019, 11:38:50 AM »

Got at least 13k every day this last week except Monday. YES GOOD. I am satisfied.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #117 on:** February 26, 2019, 02:30:09 AM »

Well done! now go for 13,500! lol @diapasoun

2/25- Due to lack of sleep and energy my workout was 90 minutes and not my best but i did manage to get 12k steps in from Exercise and finished the day with 18,122. I am happy though with my Fitbit numbers and plan on doing some classes today so not going to obsess about the step count sure it will end up north of 15k in the big scheme of things.

haypug16 · « **Reply #118 on:** February 26, 2019, 08:21:17 AM »

I've been travelling the last couple weeks and the weather is again bitterly cold here so I've only gotten 10K or more steps in a handful of times since my last update. I hope the weather warms up a bit so I can continue going on my lunchtime walks.

diapasoun · « **Reply #119 on:** February 26, 2019, 09:54:48 AM »

Yesterday was not a good step day. I just couldn't pull myself out of the house for an evening walk -- I was in a pretty crummy mood and self-medicated with couch and computer. Whoops.

I also woke up late today, so not sure how today's step count will go, either. (To be fair, I got up late because I stayed up three hours later than normal having a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation with my partner about a whole bunch of things, and that was well worth waking up too late for a real morning walk.)

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #120 on:** February 27, 2019, 03:02:09 AM »

@haypug16 Weather has been the sh+ts here. Woke up to more snow. Feels like the longest winter in 30 years.

@diapasoun Sounds like you got something more important done! today is a new day. In the end as long as most days we can exercise were doing better than most of the people!

2/26- I had a good total day of 20,231 steps but I really had to chase to get them. First I went to a Bodypump class at 5:20am then ran home to take my youngest to HS. Got dinner made then was out the door by 9am for my first Winter Walk despite being 7 degrees and walked for 90 minutes. To far to go back to Y and didnt want to waste the gas. But that gave me my over 15k exercise steps I shoot for. Then I had to coach bb again last night and just running around. Today is going to be chaotic as well AND I HAVE TO SHOVEL YET AGAIN! UGGGH!!!

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #121 on:** February 28, 2019, 02:23:58 AM »

2/17- Ended day with 18,888. 16k was made up of shoveling, then I went to Gym and did a spin class and a CX class a half hour on Elliptical and short walk. My OCD wishes I would of rounded it off to 19k. haha

diapasoun · « **Reply #122 on:** February 28, 2019, 12:02:19 PM »

12k yesterday.

I wanted to go to the gym this morning (I just got a membership) but ended up waking up in the middle of the night and tossing and turning for three hours. So, no deadlifts for me this morning, but I did get a decent walk in.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #123 on:** March 01, 2019, 02:30:38 AM »

Awesome @diapasoun

2/28-19,287 Total Steps, Having woke up so early I went to the gym at 5am walked till 5:20 and did a Body Pump class and then walked till 6:35 and took my son to HS and then walked outside in the cold for 90 minutes and that brought me up to 16k Exercise steps. The rest just around the house. Waking up at 1:30am today is looking like more of the same.

diapasoun · « **Reply #124 on:** March 01, 2019, 02:34:10 PM »

15k yesterday. That feels better.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #125 on:** March 02, 2019, 03:28:25 AM »

^ well done!!

3/1 - Yesterday I went to y and did sprint Hitt class and then CX class came home took my son to HS then went back to do hour on Elliptical so got 16k working out and finished day with 18,354. Yesterday I took and 1.5 hour nap and laid low as I havent slept in a week or should had over 20 just from normal moving around but shoulda coulda I am happy with the 18k

diapasoun · « **Reply #126 on:** March 04, 2019, 10:25:07 AM »

Hit 13k goal on Saturday.

18k steps yesterday -- I walked downtown to read at a cafe for a while, and then was so keyed up after a stressful house meeting that I persuaded Boyfriend to go for a long walk with me at like 9pm.

10k steps already today; I went to the gym (some elliptical time, ugh I'm out of cardio shape) and then took my neighbor's dog for a walk.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #127 on:** March 04, 2019, 02:05:45 PM »

3/3- I took of to see my son at college so ended the day with 7012 steps which not bad after being in car for 7 hours. Just got home so todays numbers will be even worse! Cant wait to get back to the gym tomorrow! uggh

diapasoun · « **Reply #128 on:** March 04, 2019, 02:21:05 PM »

Are you feeling that good-antsy-can't-wait-to-move feel? Because as frustrating as it is when you have it, it makes the later movement SO GLORIOUS.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #129 on:** March 05, 2019, 03:10:47 AM »

I'm feeling Antsy! Cant wait to get to gym today!!!

Yesterday as I said would be low but back at it today

3/4-7048

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #130 on:** March 06, 2019, 03:44:36 AM »

3/5- 18,238 of which 15k was from exercise. Back at it today!

diapasoun · « **Reply #131 on:** March 06, 2019, 11:38:16 AM »

12k and 13k the last two days.

Today so far has had a gentle elliptical session (honestly I was just too stressed to do one that really made me sweat) and a lazy dog walk, but still also means that I'm already at 12k steps -- I'd have to *try* to miss my 13k goal. :) That makes me really happy.

I've been enjoying having a gym membership again, and using it.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #132 on:** March 07, 2019, 02:11:41 AM »

3/9- A day of struggles. Still seemingly so tired and then alot of littles things went wrong. I did a class Body Impact and the Eliptical for 75 minutes then walked my way to 15k Steps and finished the day with 18,256.

diapasoun · « **Reply #133 on:** March 07, 2019, 10:23:26 AM »

15k steps yesterday.

I'm sorry yesterday was less than satisfactory, soccerluvof4.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #134 on:** March 08, 2019, 04:28:32 AM »

3/7- Though exhausted I pushed through and got 16k From Exercise and 19,972 total for the day. Slept good last night and have plans to at least get my minimum today. Seems like you have been doing well lately @diapasoun . Good job!

diapasoun · « **Reply #135 on:** March 08, 2019, 06:46:06 AM »

14K yesterday.

Going to the gym is definitely helping my previously slow days!

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #136 on:** March 09, 2019, 03:10:16 AM »

3/8-17,304 - Yesterday was yet a struggle but I got my 15k Exercise step and the rest from not doing much. Almost wonder if I dont have a small bug just feel off kilter. Anyhow today is going to be tough as I am heading to Indiana for two soccer games and the weather is suppose to be shit! But hopefully I can get at least 10k steps in but we will see. Since I get back home tonight makes for a long day as well.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #137 on:** March 10, 2019, 07:41:49 AM »

3/9 absolutely sucked thanks to horrific weather and a whole lot of driving in shit weather. 6965 steps is all and today wont be any better probably worse. But will be back at it tomorrow.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #138 on:** March 11, 2019, 04:25:47 AM »

3/10-3727 steps from having pretty much do nothing day! Back at it today! Time to get my butt back in gear

Hit my 13k goal yesterday.

I lifted weights (including squats and deadlifts) for the first time in a loooong time yesterday, and I am FEELING it today. I was intending to do some cardio today, but slept through my gym alarm this morning due to the DST switch (was SO tired), and I'm not sure I'll have the legs for it later. Maybe just a nice long walk....

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #140 on:** March 12, 2019, 04:41:34 AM »

3/11- 21,572 So back at it. about 17k were from exercise. Here is my chart for last week and my bad numbers really messed up my average but can see my sleeping was so bad. Hopefully can get over 20k again today all in.

haypug16 · « **Reply #141 on:** March 12, 2019, 08:29:09 AM »

First time in a while I hit 10K steps yesterday. 10,247 to be exact. Hoping to do about the same today as the weather is pretty nice and supposed to be nice this whole week.

diapasoun · « **Reply #142 on:** March 12, 2019, 08:40:59 AM »

Awesome, haypug!!

Despite the DOMS, got 20k steps yesterday - it was sunny and I took a LONG stress walk with a housemate.

Still have the DOMS so no gym this morning. Hoping I'll be good to go tonight; if not, tomorrow.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #143 on:** March 13, 2019, 04:52:47 AM »

3/12- 22,528 of which over 18k was from exercise. Weathers getting better so I expect my numbers to go up a bit though not sure if I am going to workout or not today as my knees and feet are sore. Thinking about getting a new pair of shoes.

diapasoun · « **Reply #144 on:** March 13, 2019, 11:53:27 AM »

A new pair of shoes can help a lot with foot soreness. I'm already starting to lose some of the fatty tissue in my heels (wtf body, I'm in my early 30s!), and moving from shoes with zero padding to a pair of running shoes with light padding in the heel has made my feet much, much happier.

Do you find that your shoes affect how your knees feel?

Made it to my 13k goal yesterday through the power of pacing my bedroom for 15 minutes before sleep. :)

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #145 on:** March 14, 2019, 06:17:13 AM »

14,343 steps yesterday of which 12k was from exercising. Still battling a funk my sinuses are killing me.

I have two pairs of shoes I alternate every other day. One of them is fairly knew. I've tried all different things and have special insoles because like my knees my ankles are shot from to much BB in my youth. Shoes dont really make a differnce on my knees anymore as they are so far gone its just a matter of when I have the surgeries. I can deal with the knee pain but the foot pain gets more annoying and yesteerday the outside of my right ankle really bothered me. [

Not sure if I am going to do anything today or not. I might back down the step count a bit and do more classes to get my fitness still in. Got to mull it over. Suppose to be warm today so an outdoor walk would be nice

diapasoun · « **Reply #146 on:** March 14, 2019, 09:58:47 AM »

19k yesterday! Gym + a long walk in the morning + walking to dinner out with a friend yields RESULTS, apparently.

It sounds like a lower-impact fitness than running (or maybe even than walking?) might help right now -- do you have access to a pool/indoor bike/anything like that? (No idea if the bike is easier on the knees.)

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #147 on:** March 15, 2019, 03:51:27 AM »

Feet actually feel good this morning. I pretty much did nothing yesterday. I ended 3/14 with 3341 total steps. Just been in this two week cloudy mind funk but thats ok I have been going at it pretty hard and with the weather bouncing up and down. I am going to get at least 15k today or less but some classes. If i get 10 or 12 and do two class from a fitness point its better off calorie burning wise anyhow. Nice job on the 19k.

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #148 on:** March 16, 2019, 05:14:07 AM »

3/15 actually before I changed my mind just walked out the door and scouted all the flooding and came back about 2.5 hours later with about 18k Steps so ended day with a slightly swollen left knee which is fine this morning and 21,499 steps for the day. Not sure what I will do today as we have a bunch of Soccer games and stuff but what ever it is will probably be light weight!

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #149 on:** March 17, 2019, 05:22:31 AM »

3/16- Got myself moving and ended with a good step day of 25,655. Went for 2 hour walk and then had soccer matches to watch outside in the day all day so had to keep moving to stay warm. More today but doubt I will go for the big walk. Maybe a short one cuz i want to get back to the Ymca tomorrow fresh.
