Squat Challenge - Day 3

Hanging in there on Day 3.  It's Friday, so keep your fingers crossed that the weekend goes well!  I can get sidetracked, but it's not the busy season, so maybe I"ll keep it together.

Squat Challenge - Day 2

Managed day 2 and no real additional soreness.  I'm feeling it, but not FEELING it.  Optomistic right now.  After I do the 50 days I'll think about upping the daily amount.

Of course I often get ahead of myself.  One day at a time.

Squat Challenge - Day 1

I said to myself - Self, let's do a squat challenge.  100 squats a day for 100 days.    If I do them in sets of 10 throughout the day I should get it done easy peasy.  So I started

at 50 squats on day 1 I decided to do 50, because you know - walking.

Day 1 left me a bit sore, but a good sore.

Join me if you're in the mood.

Useless

I had my worst gout attack EVER and have been pretty much useless for nearly 3 weeks.  This one was in my right ankle - where it started and I hate ankle flare ups so much.  When it's the toe I can put on a slipper and still get around.  No way to avoid putting pressure on the ankle when walking, so like I said - useless.

I admire people who live with daily pain and manage to get through it and still have a life.  I don't know if I can be that tough!

This attack was brought on by the change in the weather. That's a common trigger for me and I didn't help by eating a couple of food triggers around the same time.

My workouts were not a bust though.  While I did have a day where I only walked 550 steps, I did do some upper body workouts and a few one legged squats.  If that's what you call them.  My left leg got quite a workout since it was supporting my weight.  The workout felt good and helped loosen it up.

Tomorrow I think I will be recovered enough to get a mile in.  I started wearing shoes yesterday, so that's a good sign!
