Here's a recap of my goals for the week and how I made out (bolded):Walk 5 km 15 kmWalk up 7 flights of stairs twice noYoga 1 hour yesI am quite pleased with that, even though I didn't take the stairs, as that was mainly to make up for not walking during the winter months. I got out for three good walks and when I get back from those, I don't feel up to climbing the stairs.Now that walking season has officially begun, my goals will change a bit.

Week 14: Mid Week Check-in

I haven't been out walking yet, despite the lovely spring weather we've been having, but I did walk up the stairs yesterday. The hardest step is that first one out the door - so I think I need to plan to go somewhere every day to make sure I at least take a short walk and/or walk up the stairs.I have been eating an apple every morning when I wake up. I was doing that for a long time but somehow got away from it. See More

So I have fallen off the band wagon and not kept track of my exercise routine or doing it as faithfully as I Had been doing earlier in the year when everyone means well and starts on their new y ears resolution to lose weight.Good news is I haven't gained weight but bad news is I haven't really lost any weight when I had wanted to do so badly this year. Oh well.. we all have set backs. I did however start running with my neighbors and since get out at least 2-3 times a week for over an hour so…See More

Summary for Week 11 and Goals for Week 12

But first, a couple of comments:I noticed that I accidentally titled last week's post "Summary for Week 10 and Goals for Week 9"? Is that proof that I was backsliding? LOLI didn't do my regular mid-week check-in because (a) I was busy and being very productive and (b) it didn't seem worthwhile to log in just to report that I'd done the stairs once and that was it.Not that I have much else to say now...Here's a recap of my goals for the week and how I made out (bolded):Walk 5 km zippoWalk up 7…See More
