Let's Get Moving Part 3

[JACKIE1-25-15]

'The original idea was to "get moving" at least 4 times a week, staying accountable to each other.  Post your accomplishments in the comments. This is the original blog link if you would like to clarify the guidelines

Let's Get Moving Challenge - EX Community.   Any activity counts, as long as you get off your butt and get your heart pumping.  Who knows, maybe we'll lose a little weight or a couple of inches in the meantime.  I hope placing it in discussions this time will work better than a blog post where there were so many entries and becomes harder to locate.  Let's see if we can keep it on the board often and easy to find. 

I believe we got sidetracked when I suggested doing other challenges and those challenges were not conducive to everyone. My fault. Lesson learned.  So I am hoping we can get back to doing what "you" do instead of a specific routine.  Got it?.   In the previous post, there were a lot of comments to go through to come up with this list of who participated.  Hopefully, it will catch on again.  Of course, sometimes we got off topic which can happen.  This post really kept me motivated and we had a lot of fun while learning a lot from each other with over 2519 comments on the first blog and 1072 Let's Get Moving 2018 - EX Community  on second blog comments. So let's Get Moving Part 3!

Good news!  Good news!  Good news!

(following some bad news)

Welp, I tripped over the d@mn boot and fell yesterday, hyperextending the big toe on my GOOD foot.  Spent a sleepless night visualizing another broken bone and trying to survive with TWO boots.  Did not want to go to an ortho place, but decided this morning that it was the least evil of that or giving myself a stroke from a nonstop panic attack!  

The GOOD news is that not only did I not break anything, but the ortho volunteered to x-ray the boot foot and found that either 1) it was never broken, or 2) a hairline had healed in the 3 1/2 weeks in the boot. 

I CAN TAKE THE BOOT OFF!  I CAN TAKE THE BOOT OFF!

I will be moving (gingerly and carefully)!!

Color me HAPPY!

(Still will have to take it a bit easy until the foot adjusts to flexing again - but........THE BOOT IS OFF!)

@YoungAtHeart  Yay the boot is off .

Good job!!!!.  You've inspired me to up my walking and get a little more competitive with myself. I try to walk 20 minutes a day.  But don't really push myself.  I just mozy along looking at the scenery.  Maybe I'll try for more distance and speed in my 20 minutes.

[Giulia]

I'm all for inspiring more competition within ourselves.  It boosts our egos AND our dopamine!

Yes, want to join you.  I have a lot of weight on me, but I can walk, walk, walk!!  Such a great post!!

For now I can only do a half hour per day.
