I have family visiting from far away so it's been quite hectic here. My daily schedule is all tossed and turned, but maybe that's a good thing. I get into a sedentary routine that isn't good for me and I put on weight. Saturday, I was out most of the day with the visitors doing shopping. Now, I don't like shopping but they do. Hours and hours on the feet at this weight is not a good idea, so I eventually found a chair in the third store and off they went. I did get in a LOT of steps though.
Yesterday we took a drive to the beach to survey the damage left by Dorian. We went into tourist shops and I combed the beach for shells for 'grandma'. She is my kids' tiny hunched 86 yr old African grandmother who has come to visit, along with her two daughters. Not many shells were left behind and we could only find shattered pieces.
This visit has made me exhausted. I guess I just stay in my own little bubble and don't do all the things I should be doing, like getting out and seeing and visiting things and places. I mean, if this tiny 86 year old lady from an African village can get out of her bubble, I suppose I can too?? Heck, I groan about taking the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood.
My fitbit is broken, so I don't know how many steps I've been doing, but it's a lot more activity than I've had in the last 6 months. I'm going to begin a new routine of doing livingroom marching/walking if I'm watching tv. At least 30 min per day. That should start me off in the right direction.
