Wow Don. You are amazing to have kept going back at it exercise-wise over the last few days. My last prednisone just left me me sleepless and hangry but I wasn't exercising much this past spring to have noticed whether it gave me more energy.
We shopped today and it seemed that the stores were a madhouse with very few good parking spaces and congestion in the aisles. My strength training included pushing a buggy with two cases of dog food and if you have a bad roller with a crazy wheel, it is good to have someone like Joe ready to take the buggy at short notice. 4219 steps today and I have earned my weekly snail badge and then some.
New(er) fitbit seems to be working fine again. I have looked for stuff catchers for the chair and do like the ones with pockets for TV remotes, etc. but all the ones I've seen would still allow stuff to fall down into the chair at the rear corners of the seat. These chairs that lay down flat stretch out and create a gap between the seat and the back that can swallow wireless mouses--and HAVE this very week, along with two missing batteries I fished out today.
Thank you for the heads up on no exercise posts for tomorrow. Sunday is perfect to rest and not feel guilty about anything. Saw something cute on Facebook earlier today: "My goal this weekend is to move just enough so no one thinks I am dead."
Didn't post yesterday - never got past my 20 counter push-ups and 30 arm swings.
I hope you got your new fitbit working and found a "stuff" catcher for your chair.
Today I did my usual 20 counter push-ups and 30 arm swings but I managed to add 15 bicep curls and 12 shoulder presses but it's also my last day of my pred burst so we'll see where that goes.
Hope your having a great day and the lurkers are sneaking in their exercise..........Later...............
Well, as I never say: "make hay while the sun shines." Just walked 4 times for 3 minutes at 1 mph. Hopefully, that's only the halfway mark.
OK, I lied, I do make hay - walked another 4 times, 3 minutes, 1 mph. - will see if I can do any more after lunch and Mr. Pillow.
Did 2 more rounds on the DM, 30 minutes total. At my conservative estimate of 71 steps a minute, that's 2130 steps. Adding a very conservative 500 steps for around the house, that's almost 2700 for the day. - But as I mentioned, my pred burst is bursted. Pretty much out of gas for the day so if I do anything else I just won't post it.
Hope all are doing well, no post for tomorrow either.
