I walked for 30 min last night with my friend who is visiting here and staying with me. We walked down the road where we are housesitting...and where she used to live! The sun was going down and the sky was wonderfully colorful. I didn't take pics though. It was getting dark fast.

My friend and I had our Pandora Dance stations on while we were making dinner and working on the computers... it wasn't much but we got about 15 min of countable exercise in!

I saw that I had 10 min left to make my 2 hour goal for the week, so I danced for 10 min to my Pandora today. It was short and sweet, since I'm busy cleaning up at house 2.

I am also including a pic I took at the nursery I got my squash plant at this AM...lovely red carnations among pansies...

Short walk tonight - 15 min. Took some pics around the house here. Will post later.
!! I posted these last night but apparently they didn't take.
My little squash plant - I was telling it to grow! Produce! I'd best be careful, I'll be putting these in people's mailboxes as it is....

And this deer allowed me to photograph him right outside the window. What a nice surprise this evening.

I don't think I will make my goal this week. I am looking at a possible torn meniscus and am icing and taking it easy. I start physical therapy for 6 weeks next Friday. I will do what I can with floor work but dancing/walking is definitely out for now.

I thought I posted this (hope I didn't post in somebody else's J by mistake!)
I did 15 countable min of PT during my first visit - I was doing the exercises while they were showing me - so I count it! I have to do them 3 X a day, and I'll probably go ahead and start doing the hip exercises as well just to get more in - I won't do the right knee with those that look like they'll hurt. Exercise at last! I also have room now in my apt since my friend has left so I can see what else I can do.

Doing my exercises but not as many times a day as I need to.... Busy and still in quite a bit of pain. PT Friday. I should be going 3 X a week but can't afford that...my high deductible has to be paid first. I am not really counting this as exercise yet.

PT - they were working my leg. Still trying to calm it down enough to assess it. So I must really change up what I am doing. Powering thru my week as usual did NOT help. I got a new exercise sheet (misplaced the one they gave me- again -). I am simplifying things this coming week so I can stay off my feet and try to heal up. They had me do up to 5 min on the recumbent exercise bike - I did 6. It's the little things. At this rate, I'll be ready for a triathlon soon...sigh.

Countable exercise! So exciting. Did 30 min of pool-walking and pool-stairs which I had to stop except for the last step down in..it hurt too much to do them all the way to the top and back. I stayed in the shallow end of course since I really don't swim. Exercises from PT tomorrow - and as much pool walking as I can do, either pre-dawn or at sunset.
This is not me...I wish I looked like that....

All knee exercises today and added the hip ones that I could manage too...some I couldn't do because of the knee. Some of the knee and hip exercises are the same. I didn't keep track but I know it was at least 30 min - 3 sessions today. And 30 min of pool walking. Really enjoy that! Went out as soon as that sun set...

30 min pool walking. A bit breezy tonight which felt good after a hot day. Not as much time for exercises today - can't really count that. 10 min maybe.

Well, as I put in my J, the pool was....compromised tonight. I think there is a Hawk who keeps dropping his lunch in the pool....I had to fish something out last night as well but that didn't bother me too much. I just couldn't go in after fishing this out with the net. So, no pool walking today. Exercises amounted to about 30 min - knee/hip exercises.
This guy looks like he dropped something, doesn't he?

About 20 min exercises and 30 min pool walking - no issues tonight! I inspected the pool, and took the flashlight in with me to look closer at the floor but - all clear. I really wanted to pool walk too - I do enjoy that, especially after a hot day and had to use the oven tonight so that made the kitchen hot... and I got over last night's fiasco rather quickly...

Tonight was the last of my pool walking. 20 min - had to cut it short because of unexpected change in clients schedule - they are headed back tomorrow so clean up had to be tonight. I will miss it! Very relaxing.

Went to PT tonight - about 20 countable min of exercises. I did 8 min on the bike - then it got really painful so had to stop. I miss my pool walking! So I did make my 2 hours a week challenge goal.
