Week 3 Item #8 WordGirl

My thing last week was #8 - "Walk, swim, cross country ski, etc. for at least 15 minutes this week."

I thought I would try to do something every single day, but that didn't happen!

We were up at our lake place last weekend, so on 1/13, I easily had 15 minutes of walking through deep snow (hauling stuff from the car to the cabin). On Saturday, 1/14, I spent 45 minutes shoveling deep snow (the hard-packed stuff at the end of the driveway that the plow had piled up, as well as some around the cabin). I also walked for 15 minutes or more.

On Sunday, Louie and I went on a 15+ minute hike in our winter wonderland. We thought about getting out our snowshoes, but had fun just trekking around!

On Monday, I had 10 minutes of walking and 10 minutes of shoveling. That was it for this challenge . . . the week simply got super busy. I wear a Fitbit One and so I know I got some exercise in, but it wasn't necessarily fun stuff.

Tuesday, 1/17 = 12,167 steps
Wed. 1/18 = 12,346 steps
Thur. 1/19 = 12,541 steps
Fri. 1/20 = 11,959 steps
Sat. 1/21 = 8,933 steps (and at least 2 hours of cleaning house)

I was really hoping to go swimming. I love to swim! I have occasionally joined a friend at water aerobics in Shakopee, but the busy-ness of the week took over.

  1. Okay-the pictures, the reminder for the week - totally awesome. I would like to find my walk counter because someone is getting very lazy with the exercise in the winter-even though it is often warm. Walked last night to the library with Z - so that's something anyway! Signed, Salad Girl

  2. I highly recommend a FitBit One! I love mine and have it on my almost constantly. It motivates me to move more.
