A good week even though I only worked out on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I did stretch on Wednesday but no workout.

Saturday was a gorgeous day. Therefore, I went for a hike in Yellowwood State Forest in Indiana. My friend and I hiked about 5.5 miles. Not sure the exact time or miles as the MapMyFitness app loss connection for part of the hike as it has us going straight through the lake. The lake was slightly frozen but I don't think frozen enough to walk through the middle especially since the temps were in the mid-50s Saturday.

I had a few more blocks of walking both Saturday and Sunday walking to get some dinner & brunch.

My feet are still bothering me though not quite as painful as in the past. The calves are sore from Friday's workout plus the hiking. Overall muscles are tight.

We will see how I am really doing next week as it will be time to take measurements again.

Saturday - Both feet sore. Right more than left. Painful to get up during the night and once I woke up in the morning. Lots and lots of sleep. Some house cleaning thanks to the help of RJ. Signs that things may be improving and getting more on track. We will see how things go in the months to come. Ice bottle foot massage both feet. Basic ankle exercises.

Sunday - Grocery shopping, laundry, and a bit of food prep for lunch this week. PT exercises first set. I did not get the bands out and do the new ones :( I also did some of the past ankle workouts.

Other information that I failed to include last week. Back on May 20, 2015 the trainer at work took my measurements and then on July 8, 2015, we took them again. There was some good improvements in dimensions not so much on BMI but here are the two different numbers:

                                May 20, 2015             July 8, 2015
Weight                         215.2                           216.5
BF                               38.6                             39.1
BMI                            33.7                             33.9

Biceps                         12                                12
Bust                             44.5                             44
Waist                           46.5                             44
Hips                             47.5                             46

As you can see the waist and hips went down 1.5 inches plus which I will definitely take.

Yesterday, I did indulge in more food than usual to make sure I had plenty of carbs & proteins for a hike today, Monday. Unfortunately, storms blew in and we were unable to hike this evening but hopefully, we will get one in later in the week.

Monday - Stretching calves, legs; 4.5 mile hike JMF Silstone clockwise around Purple Trail, Silstone back to Welcome Center. Less than 2 hrs considered Level 2 in new Trails for Health group that I am apart of. TS helped keep me at a slow pace up hills and faster pace on flat sections. Afterwards though, I was fatigued and struggling. I definitely had to get home and get some food in the body.

Tuesday - Stretching calves, legs; PT session...8 mins on the bike, squats against bench and using trackx, lunges, stretches, one leg balancing and leg movements, and leg press.

Wednesday - Stretching and arms.

Thursday - PT at home exercises and stretches.

Friday - PT session...8 mins on the bike, lunges, squats w/trackx, one leg balancing & leg movements, one leg standing w/one leg on the bench squat, straight leg bend at the hips. I am sure there was more because my legs were screaming at me Saturday.

Saturday - Extra sleep, stretches twice and half at home PT exercises. My glutes and hips were screaming.

Sunday - A couple hours of standing around hoping for the rain storms to pass but they did not. Lots of driving and a nap.
