Welcome to Wednesday!

These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement. Anyone may join in at any time!

I walked a little over 4K this morning, then did some stretches for my arms.

Unfortunately, I have been ordered to stay off the stationary bike completely for a week while the doctor figures out whether my knee pain is being caused by arthritis. I hope to figure out some way to log my cardio in an appropriately low-impact way.

Ugh - sorry you're dealing with that! But I hope you can get answers about your pain.

Tough go today. It's dreary/cloudy outside and I stayed up far too late last night watching Castle. Sooooo much work to do today! 😏 But I think I will aim for at least a good walk on our lane and some paddling-on-a-ball.

I got in the usual walk earlier today.

Knee pain is such a drag! Unfortunately I have far too much experience with it and can relate.

Perhaps it's a good time to do some arm or torso repetitions on a big ball? Just an idea.

I did a DDPY 30 minutes on the moon workout.  Posted as intermediate but I found it easier than many of the beginner ones.  Very doable, except the push ups.  I still struggle greatly with those.

Then I took a nice 45 minute walk with a friend on the slushy roads.  We got 8 inches of wet, heavy snow last night, then some freezing rain, then some rain, and now temps of 37.   Everything is a wet, heavy, slushy mesh.

I didn't walk this morning (I decided to allow myself a morning of being a slug), but I did 4.1 miles this evening and did arm work.

I think my count was off because I moved up a level, which reset my progress.  I finished Day 4 of DDPY.  I have left myself at intermediate, but I plan to just substitute in wherever I want to keep my interested.  Today was a repeat of a live class I did yesterday because my husband and one of my teens decided to join in.  I registered for a live class for Friday. 🤞

@Jenny in FloridaI hope your knee is better soon!

I hope you get answers and relief soon (and you find a good low impact alternative for your cardio while you wait).

I did a boosted walk at home today. I didn't get to the pilates and weights I had planned today--hopefully tomorrow.
