A pretty good weekend

My daughter came down from Portland on Saturday and stayed over until Sunday. It was good to see her of course and she brought her crazy little Chihuahua along. We did some long walks.
Speaking of long walks, I have decided to start walking at least a half hour per day. Since I left my part time job at the Wild Birds Unlimited store, my exercise level has decreased. So, besides the long walk on Sunday, I did 3156 steps in a half hour this morning in a half hour and will try to hit 5000 by day's end.
I hope that your weekend has been a good and relaxing one.

@JamesHxstatic well, some days are more than others. obviously, during training, i'm getting quite a bit of yoga. but during the week, right now, it's still just one "class" a day usually, unless I'm planning a class to teach... so hopefully, once i start really teaching, i'll be doing that more... when i plan a class, i have to go through it at least once on my own. the last class i planned, i ended up changing, so went through it a couple times in a day... then taught it. so i had a lot that day too... but yeah, still need to lose weight.

You need walking even with all that yoga? How much time daily are you spending on yoga?

Walking for 1/2 an hour each day sounds like a good idea as your body might miss the activity of work @JamesHxstatic
Nice photo of your daughter's little Chihuahua.

@JamesHxstatic Dogs are a huge part of our crowd here and keep us extra busy. Walking is supposed to be the one thing most of us can do to remain healthy and it is really something we don't mind doing.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with your daughter and the little one. What a sweet little dog. Walking is such great exercise. Nice that you are walking more and getting those steps in. Enjoy the rest of your day.

You must be having some kind of a counter with you. I remember watching a show by Oprah Winfrey where she recommended 10.000 steps.

Yes, I have a small, inexpensive pedometer. That 10,000 thing is an arbitrary number that really means little. I did some research on it and the important thing is regular walking, at least a half hour per day.

I agree, much better than running for someone my age.

I have a little Omron brand pedometer that is pretty simple to set and it counts the steps.

I have an Omron pedomter that counts steps for me. My daughter has a fitbit and and Apple watch (overkill). I just want to count my steps. I know my pulse rate is fine.

Good to know that you started walking each day...as it is pretty good going on a walk daily for short time than to go for it one day and getting tired..enjoy walking..
