I cleaned the inside glass panes of my newly painted windows. Counting that as arm work.
Just went for my 4 or so mile walk, and I will do some exercises with weights A little later.
Hopefully tomorrow will be nice and I can clean the outside of the windows.
I feel like a slacker compared to most of you, but you do inspire me to do something physical most days.
I am missing the gym, but I stopped going before it was mandatory to do so.
Feeling antsy today. Walked 1.5 miles before I sat down to work and just took a break and ran for 2.5 miles because I was being too easily distracted. Who knows, I may go out a third time before the day is done!
Lazy today. Have barely done anything. Missing my workout friends (all gyms and similar facilities closed here) and not feeling like going outside in the heat. Apparently I’m whiny like a teenager.
Maybe after dinner I’ll see if any of my family wants to go for a long sunset walk. Or maybe I’ll just continue to sit here. Time will tell…
Workout at the track today, between the rain droplets. Inverted presses, power cleans and 800m/400m running intervals. Accumulated mileage was 3 miles. Finished with wide grip (snatch) deadlifts and weighted GHD sit-ups at home.
Got out this morning for 2.6 running miles. Saw my ortho’s PA and was really happy with him. He’s a runner and said he was impressed with how much I limited my activity! I confessed to the elliptical and walking- and said that I’ve started running. He said I did exactly the right thing- picking things that didn’t hurt during or after. Xray didn’t show the fracture at all (didn’t the first time) but he said the little sensation I feel in my knee is the arthritis and that based on what I’m telling him about my activity, it’s good to go! He said ramp up slowly (a mile added a day) which to me sounds like too much. Back off it it starts to hurt. He said my knees really look good even with the arthritis for someone my age. He offered up steroid or gel injections in the future if needed. So- good news for me and much needed!
Time told… and it told that I did indeed sit on my couch and whine yesterday. 
But this morning the sun came up and I dragged my sorry butt out to trudge up and down the hill at a nature preserve. Yesterday’s day of slug may have been helpful in letting things rest because the hill felt easier today.
Still seeing more people than normal at the preserve. All were polite and keeping more than enough distance.
I’ve been doing yoga every day (my studio does online classes) and that’s kept me sane. The studio also has prerecorded classes online too and I’ve added those a few times. I do the online class in the morning and the prerecorded class at night. One of those pre-recorded classes focuses on stretching poses with vinyasa in between. When I first started I thought it was whimpy, but I’ve realized it is a challenging class if you do the poses correctly.
Day 7 Club Coronagym/Day 2 WFH – Today was easier. Video was Phase 3, Week 1 Cardio Flow. This is the easiest workout of the groupings for me. It challenges my balance/coordination, but not really cardio. I planned on doing it 2x (45 min video) plus an ab workout. However, the forecasted heavy rains looked like they’d move out mid-workout. So, I did the video, abs, and then set out for an hour fast walk in the neighborhood. I enjoyed it. The rain hadn’t quite moved out, but it was light enough that I didn’t mind.
Working from home hasn’t been bad thus far. It’s been all of 1.5 days though. LOL. I seem to do best keeping my schedule as normal as possible. Shocker, I know. But I shower and get dressed in normal work clothes and begin right at 8:00. We are more casual dress vs business, so it’s not uncomfortable, and it helps me focus. I did take a mini yoga break. H texted me an update from our nephew who is a nurse at our ER. We now have several cases up there. And local cases in our small city essentially means in the neighborhood. The hospital is < ½ mile away. The yoga helped me to refocus on the here and now vs what may come.
P.S. please nobody put themselves down for how little they think they do. Whatever you do is GREAT! I’ve been doing this consistently for so long, this is just my normal day. Consistency is the real key.
Working from home full time has been kind of stressful for me. BUT - I am really fortunate that running is my primary exercise, and I am continuing with my usual 5 miles/4 days a week with a running buddy. What I am missing are my fitness center workouts I used to do twice a week. They have workouts available on demand and I’m doing those, but miss the discipline and companionship of a group class. My home office is also right next to my kitchen … so that’s been another challenge.
I’m super stressed out and it’s showing in lack of motivation & difficulty concentrating.
Yesterday, I had trouble repeating the reps & weight I successfully lifted the week before.
No worries, I’m not being hard on myself. I understand it’s part of the package.
Headed down to the basement to lift now. I will not be surprised if I have to do back-off sets.
This morning? A very welcome sunny day in the 50s. It felt downright balmy. Both the dog and I enjoyed our walk.
I wish I could hand out free passes to lose stress. 
Hang in there @Midwest67
3 miles of walking. 1.5 hours of yard work - THAT was a pleasure in the midwest sun!
@MomofWildChild Glad that your appt. went well.
My husband’s stress fracture has not completely healed. The doc. asked him to put weight on his foot and see how it feels the next day for a week.
^^^ I’m so sorry about your husband’s stress fracture. I’m sure he is frustrated. Make sure he isn’t taking ibupropen. I’ve been told that can interfere with healing.
My biggest problem is not having structure to my day. End up wasting a lot of time. Time to start scheduling tasks and activities around the house.
Did a good wattage workout tonite using Sufferfest. 45 minutes, warmup, then 15x1 minute intervals at 120-125% FTP with a minute recovery between each. Then cool down. Tomorrow, kettlebell training with my coach using Zoom.
Working from home is typical for me, but my upheaval has come from tons of home projects and we scrambled to get our home on the market in this absolutely worst time ever. That happened yesterday so I can regain some time to do some exercising during the day. I went for a 2+ hour walk yesterday which I mentally needed.
After a week or so plateau, the weight loss has resumed. H is doing the food shopping and we are low on some produce and high on some candy/junk, but am doing ok just with fewer options. Continuing my blue apron deliveries for variety.
Day 8 Club Coronagym/Day 3 WFH – counting days & checking in daily helps, so bear with me. I’m finding it harder to get myself out of bed in the mornings, but I am glad I did today. I forgot just how sore this program makes my legs & rear end. Good, but it makes it hard to run. Ouch. I was surprised it wasn’t as slow as it felt. It wasn’t fast, but just not super slow. I pretend like I’m base building and be zen, but I always hated base building. No rain and semi-dry pavement was a bonus. Video was Phase 3, week 1 Total Body Core. This is one of my favorites. Lots of hard combo moves. Fun! And we got our pull-up bar, so I added in a few short sets. I hope to make that a daily habit.
And please let nothing break today. We lost power yesterday – blown transformer. Our utility department is not known for its speedy service. I was panicked thinking of all our food spoiling – not just the $$$, but that all the stores are empty and it can’t be easily replaced. I was so out of it I may have driven the wrong way down a 1 way street leaving the bank drive-through. Granted, it was only ½ block with no traffic… but still… Considering I’m a traffic engineer (among other duties) for our city, you’d think I of all people would know better! It did come back after a couple of hours thank God.
^^^You’ve got this! We all make those silly mistakes. LOL that you are a traffic engineer going the wrong way down a one way street!
Totally find to use this thread as your accountability measure. Many of us do that to a degree. No apologies needed. It’s good to be reminded of others getting something done even when the circumstances are not the best.
5k run this morning before the sun came up. Wore my now trusty lighted vest. Very comfortable - really hardly feel it - for running! Going to be warm today for Ohio standards so will also walk later.
4.1 slow and hard miles- trying to get back in shape after the benching! It was sunny/ for the first time in ages!
Got out in the sunshine for a 3 mile walk.
So 2 of my running friends are thinking of running their own respective first half marathons this weekend if it’s not raining. I have promised to run the first 10 miles and wait to cheer them in just like they did for me. (all w/ social distancing of course).
