Hi everyone !

LadyM (( )) sorry to read about your DH and difficulties at the funeral. Of course this must be difficult for you to live social events like this.


It's a bit late to post on the Month's discussion, I know .
For February I'm working on the same 5 habits as January, and tracking them with an index card near my bed. I need the accountability, though.
My 5 daily habits :
MR - basic morning routine - Move C/W - either Cardio or Weights, daily - MicroMove - tiny times of movement at payroll or during the day - Time for me - to read, maybe write, maybe think, maybe journal - K - pelvic floor exercises. 1 minute minimum, at bedtime.

Counting the score as of today, mid day :
MR . . . . . : 6 out of 8 . . ▓▓▓▓▓▓░░
Move C/W : 4 out of 8 . . ▓▓▓▓░░░░
MicroMove : 5 out of 8 . . ▓▓▓▓▓░░░
Time4me . : 3 out of 8 . . ▓▓▓░░░░░
K . . . . . . .: 5 out of 7 . .▓▓▓▓▓░░

CI/ last week I did walks & sawing wood and moving it.
Stat bike on bad weather days a couple of times b/c of rain.
No hands for core strength.

in addition to walking 3. mi.
I do not always get the 3 mi. but do close the ring 120 cal. burn on my apple app. on my phone
I use as a step counter.

This week I have goals:
I start with every other day. E.O.D.
To get stretchy bands with handles for on the floor rowing recommended for people in my age category.
this plan also includes balance
marching in place while sitting
wall push ups
single leg balance on diff types of surfaces.
wts. 1 / 1.5 /3 lbs. is what I have.
-----
Ones in my prev. plan
heel lift
one leg balance / got a bit better.
[still cannot do it on tippy toe oh well had an ankle injury in my younger yrs. could be the reason.]
stretching

did not do:
on floor on knee one leg out opposite arm out.
----
These are good for rewards the bands for reaching writing goals
non food ones.
Also some fitness type clothing would make me feel better.
-----
Update found one #2 lb. wt. I can do one arm at a time.
I did find stretchy cords with handles as well.
Next look up the way to row with them.

(((Lady M))), I do wonder about my dh having some issues, he had some tests run and the doctor said there is no issue but that doesn’t explain his actions, slow to speak, stumbling over words, slurring speech sometimes… Al that to say I understand somewhat and sympathize with you. Growing older and taking care of a spouse (or even another family member) is hard. You are doing great to post and take care of yourself here with grace and kindness.

I’ve been doing small exercises daily so catching up with my hearts.

Get moving
