April Stats, May Goals

Unfortunately, I'm still down off the wagon. Trying again tomorrow. Interestingly, looking at my exercise stats has told quite a tale. All this exercise, and yet I got almost none this past week. Maybe setting new exercise goals will be the kick in the pants I need. (I did get two miles today for the Farmington Crop Walk, but I can only guess how long it took.)

Total exercise time
April goal: 15 hours
April results: 23.9 hours
May goal: 27 hours

Average daily time
April goal: 30 minutes
April results: 49.4 minutes
May goal: 60 minutes

Number of days exercising
(some days were walking, some were Wii, some were both)
April goal: 25
April results: 26
May goal: 27

Number of days walking
April goal: 20
April results: 17
May goal: 23

Total distance walked
April goal: 30 miles
April results: 31.23 miles
May goal: 50 miles

These are considerably more ambitious goals than I had last month. The thing is, when I'm in the groove, it's easy to get 60 minutes of exercise. That's a 45 minute walk and 15 minutes on the Wii. And the weather should finally warm up a bit and maybe stop raining for a second or two, so that would help.

I've noticed something about my walks, though. Last time I was in the healthy groove, walking was a pleasure. I really looked forward to it. Now, walking is more of a chore. It's just another thing to check off of my to do list. I do it because I'm supposed to, not because I want to. I've got something in mind that will hopefully change that, but that's another blog post.
