Snowmom Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I was so in hopes I could use something like SPRING, but, it was snowing just a short time ago. The sun is out and yes it was snowing. This sure has been a different winter. **********Here are some things that count for miles.These are as you can count them, 1 mile will = one mile. Biking, swiming, walking, and such. *********These will be counted as 1 hour = one mile********* will be down and up 10 times = one mile********These two willl be 30 minutes = one mile weights, jumping rope. ********You will have to be the judge of these. We have been counting 1 hour as a mile, but, sometimes it isn't so. Therefore, I'm letting you be the judge of these. ************Last week, March 16- March 22, I am going to say with laundry, stairs, shopping, housework, dishes, walking on the treadmill and riding the bike, I got in about 14 miles. Just wasn't a good week for me. **** Ok, who will be ???*********Who is going to join us? Anyone who wants to start exercising or walking or whatever, count your miles and add them up this week and post them next week when either Momo or I make the walking post. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Snowmom, you are still doing well. Oh, and Momo, glad you liked the pictures. Shooting practice for me includes practicing with my camera, and I am always trying to find 'flowers for the ladies. Last week, we did not go shooting and I sent DH to visit his mother this time. I had planned to do so many things while he was gone and when he left, I brain locked. I managed to do a couple of things, yard work 2 hours, laundry, and cleaned house. I also realized how much he helps on cleaning day. Normally cleaning house takes about 4 to 5 hours, this time, by myself, it took me 6 hours. I am guessing, about 10 miles for last week. So far, this week, I walked 2 miles in the morning with Grrr. DH made him a new leash that matches his collar and I wanted to try it out. On our walk we came up to some trees I WAS going to let the dog explore around, until I saw this: Later in the afternoon after it began to cool off, we went shooting. Here is the pit that had water 2 weeks ago: A view of our winter desert: And, of course, "Flowers for the Ladies" Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm still moving around keeping the blood pressure under control and the weight sort of not under control. I eat pretty healthy but all I have to do is think about chocolate and I pack on 10 lbs! I am not enjoying my middle-aged metabolism! Anyway, I exercise a minimum of 30 mins a day a minimum of 6 days a week. Most is on my exercise bike and depending on how I'm feeling, I average 4-6 miles a day. Now that I'm over this virus, I'm trying to bump up my exercise to 60 minutes a day - so today I went 8 miles on the exercise bike and walked 2.5 miles to the store and back. I've got to get in shape for a couple of short backpacking trips this summer! Quote Link to comment
