Exercise - Working Back to it After or During Treatment

congratulations, Special K. I accepted a long time ago that I am not a runner. 

Did an hour of yoga today. Never graceful but always grateful. 

Gearing up for 10 inches of snow tomorrow. School is already cancelled. 

Today I went grocery shopping and did two loads of laundry. Also had a doctor appointment. I found out yesterday after I went for my walk that the high temperature that day was right at freezing point. It's only going to be a little warmer tomorrow, so maybe I will find some more chores to do indoors. Perhaps unpack a few boxes.....

gritgirl, sorry to hear you missed your yoga class. I don't have a happy pill, but why not head back over to the "100 days of gratitude" thread? I know it's kind of a cliche, but maybe counting a few blessings will help you cheer up. 

If that doesn't work I guess you will just have to go to the animal
shelter and see if they will let one of the cats purr in your ear, or have one of the dogs wag itself silly for you.

Added later, I decided to go outside and walk after all. Very chilly today, especially if walking into the wind! I went 7/10 of a mile. Next time, I think I will try for 9/10. Now it's time for a rest.

Today I walked 9/10 of a mile. When I can do that twice the same day I'll be ready to tackle the library.

Today I was snowed in so all I have done is some chores around the house—and not many of those!

@gritgirl, I live in Washington, near the state capitol of Olympia. It doesn't take much for me to be snowed in, because I have no chains for my car and at this point no shoes that would keep my feet dry if I walked any distance in the snow. We got about 3 or 4 inches of it here. This is my car sitting in the driveway earlier today. As you can see, I need to get the manual out and see how to re-set the time-stamp in the camera. The snow had completely melted off the car by the time it got dark, and a lot of what was on top of the hedge is gone too. It's supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow, so most of the rest of it will probably be melted in another 24 hours.

my exercise today was shopping and errands. I made four stops on one trip. I'm pretty tired but two weeks ago I wouldn't have been able to do that much in one day. @gritgirl, you didn't walk because it's too cold—I didn't walk because it's too wet. woops, I misread what you wrote. You are walking in spite of the cold. Way to go! Darn it, my formatting won't stick! That part about not walking is supposed to be struck through.

As I expected, the snow is almost gone. It has warmed up and rained today, and that melts it really fast.

Now it's nap-time.

curve - yay for progress!

Went to the gym - yay for me!  Did some leg presses - will be interested to see if the knees hurt tomorrow.  Also did some elliptical which hurt a bit when I started but I stayed with it for a bit and was more comfortable.

today's exercise, walk 9/10 mile. I didn't need to take a nap afterwards, either.

I walked a different route today, which I thought was longer than the one I have been doing, but it turns out it's a little shorter—only 8/10 of a mile. I also did a little bit of gardening when I got back, pulling the weeds out of a flower pot.

where is everyone? I have nothing to report. I did not walk, because it's been pouring down rain all day. I did get out of the house to run a few errands, but that's it other than a load of laundry or maybe two.

@SpecialK I am glad to hear that the supplements are helping.

@gritgirl, I hope you are OK and no slippy-slidey on the snow. Did you get to your yoga class?

Today I only walked 7/10 of a mile. I checked google maps and my previous walk was 1.1 miles, the same as to the library, but I didn't try to get there today. I don't trust the rain to hold off long enough for me to get there and back. Maybe next time.

@SpecialK, my walk has been "called on account of rain (or snow)" several times over the last two weeks. We've been having a spell of really wet weather and I still don't feel robust enough to be comfortable taking a chance of getting really soaked. If it's pouring down rain, or there's snow on the ground, I stay in.

curve - in my book, you are doing great on the exercise, but having lived in many cold climates I understand your reluctance to get wet and cold if you don't have to - better to be safe.

gritgirl - yay!
