Second day of PT and a 2+ mile walk.
Yesterday I went 2.7m, and today I went 2.6m.
My back twinged at .65 yesterday and at .61 today. But just warning. No actual hurt. I had a hill in my walk route yesterday, but my leg started warning me today, so I made a point to avoid that big hill.
I did some weeding and carried stuff for moving.
I was at 186.2 pounds this morning.
I'm feeling pretty positive. :D
Well, bad news is I can't find my PT notebook.
Good news, as I was in bed, not sleeping, last night (too cold, too noisy, and hurt too much), I remembered what the first batch of exercises was.
I did my first set this morning, before I even got dressed for the day. Yay me!
Today I was mostly ok, but I ate something either yesterday or today that doesn't agree with me and I feel like crap.
Gotta do the exercises again, since I also recall that I was supposed to do them twice a day. Tomorrow I will do a search, which will involve me putting everything I'm not currently using that is near my 'nest' into a box to transport down to Woodstock. Maybe two boxes.
Which is to say that my back is having issues again.
Sigh.
I guess this means that PT is a maintenance thing, not a do it for a bit then you're done thing.
I'm gonna start with the beginning stuff again, then progress as my PT person showed me, last year. Conveniently, I kept everything.
I woke up super stiff and hurty this morning, which is why I decided to start up again. BLAH
I'm gonna start doing some jogging with my walking. It was nice.
I'm starting to get neuropathy in my left foot. Feels like my toes are wrapped in cotton. That isn't so nice.
A1c is down from last time. 7.1 It was 7.5. Still high, but getting better.
Weight is down. I'm hovering around 187 now, instead of 190. Plus or minus 3.
Going to be moving right next to a trail head for a good trail for walking/jogging/running. I hope this summer to start doing more of that. I know John is happy to have it so close.
I have been slacking on my PT, and my sugars are bad. at least I think so, since I rarely take them.
I have had a lot of days where my walking is more than 5000 steps, though. That's a good thing. I try to aim for more than that.
I just this very minute upped my step goal to 1000. I dropped it to 50 a bit ago, then raised it to 100. I was upset that garmin had lost all my data when they got hacked. So my step streak was broken.
It's not my fault they got hacked, but they penalized me for it.
We had a pretty LONG day yesterday.
Started off with a 3+ mile long walk in the morning.
Then we started on the trip back to Jordan. Not sure of the exact time or place, but about 5ish miles from Marshall, I noticed that the trailer John was towing had SHREDDED the passenger side tire.
John got it to Menards, where the adventure of the tire happened. Short version is little towns have very bad tire access. Longer version is it took two sets of tires, and a hole tapping drill to get us on our way again, almost 4 hours later than expected.
Reason I'm posting this here... 16 THOUSAND steps.
I haven't done anything really worth blogging about, so haven't posted anything. I still haven't, but for my riveted readers, I wanted to let you know I'm not dead.
