Step into Spring

Snow started last night so couldn't walk as if fell on frozen ground so last night I did a bit of nightie dancing in my living room .
Tonight the snows gone but it's to cold to go in my wet garage so I'm going to walk up and down the stairs during the adverts as @Pipp. I'm not skiving I'm doing it .

Hmm, ok. When I saw that photo I thought you were going to use that as a pathetic excuse, not to exercise. I'll accept stair climbing as valid activity, but I am watching you @Jamrox.

Note to other posters: I am only mean to people who ask me to be. I expect normal service from Jamrox the motivator to resume soon.

30 minutes peddling and a trolley dash round Asda..full shop and out in 40 minutes.

Great picture @sanguine, I dream of one day living somewhere like tHat but I will need to win the lottery first!

Did a 30 minute walk at lunchtime and the. A mad dash around halfords on the way home to grab some bits for the car incase the snowy weather comes this way and I needed a headlight bulb replaced... Now I am sitting wrapped up warm in front of the fire...

What? I am a little ray of sunshine. Just look at my avatar. @Jamrox told me to keep her motivated, so I am trying. @Jamrox will soon be taking the helm as chief motivator (slave driver) again. I am rubbish at it.

Ok, where are you all, and what activities have you been up to?

I am on a sick note today. Sore throat and cough. As I am asthmatic that restricts me. Have made sure that I get out of the chair every hour and move around for five minutes, that has been walking round the garden ( just once as it was blowing a gale) step ups on the bottom stair, arm exercises with resistance bands, sweeping the kitchen, and invisible hula hoop.
Not very happy as I intended to increase water based exercise but now it looks like my schedule will be set back a week or so. Will keep moving though.

Oh, virus gone now. I'm back. I have done lots of ironing of shirts and sewing and cooking and a bit of washing. Does that count? I definitely want to focus on activity rather than exercise until Spring is here.

Awww, I hope you are feeling better soon.

Glad virus gone. I feel rough. Do you want to take over as motivator? I think I have scared people off.

Oh and I think any activity above and beyond what you would normally do counts.

 

[zand]

Well this time of year I normally do as little as possible!

So if your ironing etc is more than usual, well done!

 

[cold ethyl]

got the sore throat too, so you have my sympathies.

25 minutes peddling and 15 minutes walk in the wind round town. Nearly got blown away.

 

[Kezzer4321]

60 minutes walking....wow it was windy! Plus 45 minutes playing running games with 3 yr old nephew... Boy am I knackered lol

Tomorrow will be a skive day for me, as I am in an all day meeting tomorrow and then I am off out with my sister tomorrow night

 

[Lenny3]

Did a bit more on the bike tonight, my poor bum!

Thank you @Pipp , I do indeed need scalding.
The weather has been so bad here today that even the lamp posts were bending . I had to go and give my old Aunt another shower after work because she had an "accident " and wouldn't let her husband wash her. It was difficult because she really didn't want a shower .

I will get back at it , my garage is freezing and the roofs leaking , can't go out and walk in this weather , it is really really bad , trains cancelled , houses with no power etc
I have danced about my living room so doing something , just not as energetic as usual. I can't even do my lunchtime walk because the weather has been awful.

Taking about lunch , have any of you tried these

Low carb and really tasty of you have a sweet tooth like me

 

[sanguine]

Got out for another 30 minutes walk this morning between the showers.

They look nice, but I won't try, they have added sugar, and for me that could be the start of addiction.

Hi Jamrox,

I tried a different flavour of them - I think Raspberry - and they were really delicious, but unfortunately when I started to test my BS levels, I found that I got a really high spike from them. Obviously I only ever ate the raspberry one - as that is my favorite fruit. Once I've lost a little more weight I might try them again.

Done my 30 minutes peddling early today and hoping to get out for a bit of a walk in town later if snow stays mild and Mr E doesn't linger at the memorial service he's at.

 

[Pipp]

Had a short walk. Then did some weight lifting carrying all the potions back from pharmacy. A bit of a stagger round the supermarket, and now home wrapped up feeling sorry for myself with this rotten cough.

Real exercise is on hold until I feel better, but will make sure I do some stretches and stepping until I can be a bit more adventurous.
