  • This check-in is for June 18th – July 1st.
  • I was up, packed, and out the door on my way to Wisconsin for my Dad’s memorial service last Friday before I even thought about posting a check-in, so this check-in is for two weeks.
  • My daughter was visiting for a couple of days after the memorial, and we went to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, which was far larger than either of us knew.  My FitBit tracked over 16,000 steps that day, and we were both exhausted, but we had a great time.

  • This check-in is for June 11th – 17th.
  • I started off this morning with a walk in the park next to where I live.  I’m going to be doing that most mornings from now on, at least until I start working again.

  • This check-in is for June 4th – 10th.
  • Things are starting to settle down in the new house, and I’m getting back into some of my daily routines.  My plan is to go to the park next to the house to start walking regularly, probably next week.

  • This check-in is for May 28th – June 3rd.
  • This week has been the final push to finish getting the house ready to move in by tomorrow.  My whole body hurts, and I hope to spend Sunday doing as little as possible.

  • This check-in is for May 21st – 27th.
  • I’ve been trying to tackle the wilderness that my yard has become all week.  I literally had to take a weed wacker to the grass to cut it down enough to mow it.  My arms were hurting so badly from all of the yard work that I had to take Thursday off to recoup; otherwise, I’m sure my numbers would be just as high as last week, if not higher.

  • This check-in is for May 14th – 20th.
  • Since closing on the house, I’ve been spending a lot of my time getting it ready for the Boyfriend and me to move in (cleaning and such).  That has meant a significant increase in active minutes and steps, but I’m being careful to listen to my doctor and not do anything strenuous.

  • This check-in is for May 7th – 13th.
  • I’m disappointed with the little exercise bike I ordered.  There’s no way to reset it back to ‘0’ to start a new workout, and though it has RPMs, Time, and Calories (which I never look at because of how inaccurate it is), it doesn’t have Distance, which is what I really want to know without having to do a mathematical formula to figure out.

  • This check-in is for April 30th – May 6th.
  • I got bad news on Tuesday.  My heart condition is serious and will require another appointment with a cardiologist and probably more tests.  They need to figure out the cause to know how to treat it.
  • My little exercise bike arrived on Monday, and I’ve got it set up.  So far, I’ve only tried it out to make sure it works properly, but I will start using it either today (after my workout session) or tomorrow while I’m sitting around.

  • This check-in is for April 23rd – 29th.
  • I had another test done yesterday to hopefully figure out what’s wrong with my heart, and now I’m back playing the waiting game.  In the meantime, I attended an online workout session through the weight management program I’m in, and it was a little bit of light cardio and strength training, so I plan to continue attending.
  • I ordered a small “under desk” exercise bike for when I’m watching TV or can’t get outside for a walk.  It should arrive on Monday, and I’m a little excited to get it.  I know it won’t solve all my problems, but it’s a little something more I can do to help myself, and that’s what counts.
