I got in just over 10,000 steps yesterday. I need to start a workout routine when we come back from vacation - arms are sore today from helping ds move boxes, etc. on Wednesday.

I walked 1/4-mile up a slope to the mailbox through the woods and 1/4-mile back. It took me 15 min. because of my AFO's and the uneven ground of the gravel driveway. I need to be very careful because of balance issues in the ankles. I ended up with a good dose of allergies from all the pollen on wildflowers and wild bushes, too. Not feeling so hot. 
But it was wonderful to get out.

Lots of good walking reports here! Have fun while away, Twins! Your lawn looks so pretty, Nancy! Enjoy your daughter's visit, Ivy!
I worked out Friday and Sunday, the same 30-minute workout I've been leaning on too heavily. I look at the 50-minute workout, look at my watch and just get stingy with my time, which may not be good. Often I can't get to exercising until there's very little time left before bedtime. Sometime this week I'd like to do it. The 30-minute one is much faster paced, and I seldom get all the way through it without a breather.
I haven't been eating as well this week. I need to rein that in. I got started on some chocolate pudding yesterday... oh my!

I walked in a store while shopping, have been doing laundry, housework, and moving things around, organizing stuff and dust mopping, etc.. before Mother's Day arrives. So my activity hasn't been a "timed" walk or bike ride or anything, but I've been busy, which is exercise, too.

I got a lot of exercise decluttering, walking, and doing housework as activity the rest of last week, but not much on Saturday. It had been mostly done. But on Mother's Day I walked 30 minutes. DD was complimenting me on how I look like I've lost weight, but I told her I'm up about 10 Lbs. since Thanksgiving 2012. She said I looked thinner. I told her I think my body has sort of morphed and things have moved around a bit, to look thinner in some spots now.

Last night I got in my 10 mi. on the ex. bike was all sweaty when I was done so it was a vigorous.
It's been ages since we've seen them down here! Anyway, I'll get plenty of walking and housecleaning exercise in this week, too!
