Snowmom Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ann, I think you should count at least one more mile for taking care of your DH. Momo, when you say I could be at your home soon, it made me think of the books I just finished reading for the Winter Reading Program. This guy walked from Washington state, to Florida. The book starts with 'The Walk', it is by: Richard Paul Evans. I read 4 of them, and there will be another one in the series coming out in May of this year. I can hardly wait for it to come out. **********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, February 2 - 8, I am going to say with laundry, stairs, shopping, housework, dishes, walking on the treadmill and riding the bike, I got in about 32 1/4 miles. **** 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 February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Awwww, thank you Snowmom, keep up the good work. I'm counting on you to keep me motivated. Last week I walked the dog once. The rest of my time has been pulling weeds. No walking there. I sit on my duff and scoot. My back is not fit for bending over and over and over, or working a hoe or rake too well. It's a 'hurtz donut' if I use those tools. LOL. Instead I fill a grocery bag with weeds, dump it, then, go back to where I left off and continue. It is good exercise for the upper body, but doesn't count as walking miles. My yard is lined with rocks and I have been moving one, pulling grass and putting it back, scoot and repeat. 4 hours. I only got 1/3 of it done last week. (Finished it off today and edged the driveway with my handy dandy garden knife, 3 hours.) My neighbors wave and shake their heads. I've been doing my yard work that way for well over 30 years. Cleaned house Saturday for a couple miles, giving me a total of about 3 1/2 miles. Quote Link to comment
