Gramto6 December 29, 2021 Share December 29, 2021 4,619 steps yesterday. Knee is sore again today, think it may have something to do with the very cold temperature. It is 12:15 and only 18°F outside. I don't go out much but I have to to feed my feral cats at least twice a day. 5 Link to comment

MaddyMaeboxerbabe January 1, 2022 Share January 1, 2022 Ok after reading about your -10 degrees I am bundling up and taking my pup out in our sunny and 33 degrees for a walk. Thanks for being such an inspiration and getting me moving everyday! 8 Link to comment

Thanks for being such an inspiration and getting me moving everyday! I do most of my walking inside my house and as much as my injured knee permits. It has warmed up to a balmy 5° at 11:45AM. Still too cold for me to go grocery shopping. Tomorrow is supposed to get to 20° that is doable, if my knee is OK. 7 Link to comment
Adeejay January 1, 2022 Share January 1, 2022 Several seasons ago, Janelle made a comment to Kody that she couldn't wait for the day when she was looking up at her sons. Kody told her that she may never be able to look up at Gabriel. I was reminded of that conversation when I saw the photo of Janelle with all four of her sons and Savannah, which was taken on Christmas day. Her sons were towering over her. I would bet, that much to Kody's dismay, they are towering over him too. 10 Link to comment
Gramto6 January 2, 2022 Share January 2, 2022 (edited) 4,929 steps yesterday. Not going out until Monday. Am feeling better today but don't want to push too hard. It is 8° outside right now may get to 30°. Tomorrow's forecast is 36° so almost bearable. :) Edited January 2, 2022 by Gramto6 added on to post 6 Link to comment

I lost a few pounds in the beginning, but the biggest benefit is that it helps my mental health. Prepandemic I used to go into an office building and interact with a lot of people everyday. Now I only get zoom calls for work and I don't get to socialize as I am high risk and I don't feel comfortable even though I was boostered in October. I think the daily exercise matters a lot and I check here every day to see how many steps you have taken. Thanks for the inspiration! 7 Link to comment
Gramto6 January 2, 2022 Share January 2, 2022 Thanks! Before my last fall and knee injury I got in a lot more steps. I'm hoping to get back there, but know better than to push to do it. I just do what I can and stop when it starts to hurt and rest for a bit. It is taking me a long time to come back from this last fall. 7 Link to comment

I miss walking outside, but I can't handle this super cold weather. Good to hear you're feeling better. Here's to warmer weather! 4 Link to comment
Gramto6 January 3, 2022 Share January 3, 2022 5,063 steps yesterday. Well, I have to go out today, not looking forward to it but I need dry cat food. The only good thing is it is up to 40°! 8 Link to comment

When you know what you want, you go directly to those aisles. When they switch things up, there would be more tendency to impulse buy items that you may not have seen otherwise. 6 Link to comment

Gramto6 January 7, 2022 Share January 7, 2022 3,731 steps yesterday. Knee was really sore after shovelling snow. It kept buckling so took it very easy as I didn't want another fall. Knee better, but going to take it easy again today. 7 Link to comment
xwordfanatik January 7, 2022 Share January 7, 2022 I was out shoveling snow yesterday, just so we could get our truck out of the driveway. A kind new neighbor had a gizmo on his lawn tractor that cleared snow, and he graciously offered to help me with that chore. We're expecting to have more snow next week. I felt like I got a good workout, though. I'm not a winter person, that's for sure. I can see why old people like me move south. 6 Link to comment
Gramto6 January 7, 2022 Share January 7, 2022 My next door neighbor did come over and plow my drive which was very nice. I don't have to go anywhere until Monday and we have no more snow in the forecast for the next 9 days so most of the snow will be gone. My dirt road will be a mud suck though. I was doing the front deck when I twisted my knee again. 7 Link to comment

Somewhere in the depths of the things I have are some ace bandages, I just wish I could find them. When I go out to shop next week I will go to the pharmacy and buy one if I can't find the ones I have...somewhere... 4 Link to comment
