xwordfanatik May 17, 2021 Share May 17, 2021 I'm back to walking 2 1/2 miles every other day. On the other days, I do my stationary bike. I'll have to walk earlier with summer just around the corner. May is such a pretty month with all the flowers blooming. 8 Link to comment

I'll have to walk earlier with summer just around the corner. May is such a pretty month with all the flowers blooming. Stationary bikes can be hard! Mine gives me a better workout than many of my runs. I’m the same way, pretty much the same pattern. It’s getting hot here too, we’re already solidly in the 90s every afternoon. Outdoor workouts need to be done before the sun comes up (or bring an umbrella to keep the sun off). 6 Link to comment

TurtlePower May 26, 2021 Share May 26, 2021 It’s officially reached 100 degrees in southern NM and most of my workouts are now very early or indoors. I am incredibly thankful for my indoor cycle. 7 Link to comment

Yeah No May 28, 2021 Share May 28, 2021 I just wanted to report that since the weather's gotten nice and I'm double vaccinated I've been out and about a lot and/or doing heavy work at home and have lost 5 pounds in about 2 months just watching what I eat and walking a lot. I don't know how much longer that will continue, though. I usually reach a plateau and then have to really struggle to lose more after a few pounds. I'm trying to remain optimistic, though. I have a pedometer but it's really old and not so accurate so I'm putting a Fitbit on my birthday wish list, LOL. 9 Link to comment

Please don't feel frustrated Gramto6, you have been consistently accountable and some of your loss of steps may be due to seasonal inertia. I have never owned a step counting device but of late, I have tried to limit my hikes up and down the stairs in the house. I have taken to assembling items to go up or down on the top or bottom steps to be carried on the next trip. I justify this in my head by rationalizing that my knee replacement has a finite number (thanks Janelle) of movements before it wears out, and as I don't want to have the surgery again, I am wise to budget my steps.🤣 6 Link to comment
Gramto6 May 30, 2021 Share May 30, 2021 Thanks @Sandy W. I use a step counting app on my iPhone. I always have it in my pocket as it is also my "Help, I've fallen and can't get up" device. Have had some bad falls, fortunately not with huge injuries, but one never knows... 4 Link to comment

The one I use is called Maipo it has a woman in green shorts and yellow long sleeve shirt on the opening page. I'm sure they all work about the same. This particular one is free which is why I like it... 🙂 2 Link to comment

I used the Skip option on the request and it went through anyhow. We'll see how it works out. Thanks again. Edited May 30, 2021 by Sandy W spellingk 2 Link to comment

Yes I know that, sometimes it takes a bit for the Health app to update the step app. I don't have a lot of apps on my phone, I like the step app as it shows all time highs and history I don't see in the Health app as easily.

I love iPhone for this reason (combined with the Apple Watch). It tracks everything, even my sleep patterns. I can tell when my body is stressed before actually “feeling” it. The only thing I don’t like about Apple Watch is that it doesn’t take into account days you’re sick or injured. If you miss a workout due to illness, your streak is broken and it nags you.

Haha I’m a true Gemini. I can go from doing sloppy fieldwork in shoddy, worn-out cargos to glamming up in a sequin dress, heels and hair extensions. It’s actually fun to have 2 sides. 6 Link to comment
