What one thing have your learned about yourself during this process so far? Thanks for sharing!

Here is what I have done since the last update.

 

Wednesday 3/24 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches, 12 hand grips , 20 squats while holding 2 - 15 pound dumbbells and 20 overhead presses (had left those off) and walked 3.26 miles.

 

Thursday 3/25 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches, 10 hand grips , 20 squats while holding 2 - 15 pound dumbbells and 20 overhead presses and walked 3.24 miles.  I also put in some 1 foot square paver stones on a walkway - so lifting those, digging out and leveling.

 

Friday 3/26 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches, 10 hand grips , 20 squats while holding 2 - 15 pound dumbbells and 20 overhead presses and walked 3.23 miles.  Continued installing the paver stones.

 

Saturday 3/27 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches, 10 hand grips , 20 squats while holding 2 - 15 pound dumbbells and 20 overhead presses.  I finished installing the paver stones but hurt my left knee when I was getting up from putting the last paver up... I was kneeling on a towel for padding and it was bunched and I think it displaced my knee slightly so when I pushed up it popped.  I'm doing OK but have stopped the squats, walking and overhead presses until it stops hurting (wasn't real bad so didn't go to the dr).

 

Sunday 3/28 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches and 12 hand grips.

 

Monday 3/29 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches and 15 hand grips.

 

Knee is feeling better today (just a slight discomfort) so in a few more days may start walking again.

One of the main things I've learned and try to keep remembering is that it's not how much you do to help yourself get in shape, it's the actual trying with purpose and keeping positive knowing you are doing what you can when you can.

My update for the week --- 

Monday, Tuesday & Thursday --- toning video and 4 mins of planks

[Jaque]

Been off the thread for a while packing and traveling. But tomorrow I fly to Cancun. Hope to report some laps in the pool, maybe even some dives if that dive operation is still there. The resort is huge so I will probably do plenty of walking. Cant wait to get wet!

[Cajun Diver]

So far this week:

 

Tuesday 3/30 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches and 15 hand grips.  Walked a little but still some slight pain.

Wednesday 3/31 I did 40 push ups, 50 crunches and 20 hand grips.

Thursday 4/1  3/30 I did 20 push ups, 50 crunches and 15 hand grips.  Walked a little and only a little discomfort.
