Well that’s good. If you have the charger then that’s an easy fix!

Good for you !!!!
And coincidentally, I took an indoor walk around the house yesterday too. Much, much, much shorter than you (only 15 minutes) but also the first one I'd done in a long time. So yay us.

Thanks. I can't believe I got started again, but I'm glad I did and was able to do it again today for 2 hours. It's like literally walking through hell living here. But who knows, maybe I'll get well and walk right out of here soon...Good for you !!!!
Good for you

I've been exercising a lot, but I'm going through a rather manic end of year period so haven't had much time to post recently.
I usually manage to exercise 2 to 3 hours every day, yoga and long walks. A few weeks ago I went to look around an art trail. It was laid out over a big park, through a bit of woodland and ended up in the grounds of a huge temple. There were bits of sculpture in the park, as well as a few small galleries and historic buildings you could look into as you walked. A few pics.

I found my dream house!
Very friendly museum cat.
Wild monkeys. There was a big troop of them living in the trees near part of the rail.

I love the Japanese Macaques!!! I seen plenty of nature shows about them. In the coldest months they actually warm themselves by bathing in hot springs in one of the National Parks. Clever Monkeys! Here is a pic below. You are so blessed to live around such wonderful wildlife.

2 hour indoor walk again. Tried to keep my heart rate up by swinging my arms most of the time.
Yes, that onsen when the monkeys bathe is really famous. I'd like to go there and take a look one day. The monkeys around here are just famous for stealing vegetables and fruit out of people's gardens.
I only got a 40 minute yoga routine done today, as it is the season for Osouji (Big Cleaning) and I had to move a lot of furniture around and mop and vacuum everywhere. Only the bathroom to go and then I'm done.
I did a 30 minute walk around the inside of the house yesterday. The last few minutes I was bored and wanted to quit, but persevered and made the full 30 minutes. Would do an outside walk, but it's gotten cold again, so inside it'll have to be.

: that tree house is so cool !!!! As are the monkeys. But they're also a tad creepy with their so human-like faces. Loved that you got to see a cat too. Purrfect, right.

Try leaving the TV on, a cooking show or maybe a talk show. Or the radio. Or a book on tape?
2 Hour walk again today, indoors.
I have some music on my phone, plus it can get the radio, so I might try listening to something next time. No walk yesterday. Busy doing other stuff. Maybe today.

2 hour indoor walk, listening to a mixed cd playing outloud.
It was freezing yesterday, but I still did an outside walk.
Today was much warmer, and I walked outside again.
Both walks were my usual 20 minutes, or so.
Might even make it 3 for 3, as tomorrow looks like it'll be warmish again.

Wow, I'm surprised. I live near Canada and it's only 24 degrees here.
It wasn't like summer or anything, but 37F so above freezing.Wow, I'm surprised. I live near Canada and it's only 24 degrees here.
Today is cloudy and colder, so not sure if an outside walk will happen or not.

You're a brave soul.
2 hour walk indoors yesterday and plan to do the same today. I'm on a roll and hopefully will never stop again.It takes up a huge chunk of my day though! Seems like I have a lot less time for the internet.
Or crazy. LOLYou're a brave soul.
I'm 4 for 4, btw. Yesterday's walk I was overdressed, and actually sweated. Today it's just 32F, and no sun, but also no wind, so almost comfortable since I was dressed for winter. I'm still just under 30 minute walks each day. Another block will get me there, so I'll aim to add just a bit more to my route.
Good for you being on a roll too.

Wow. You are made of steel to think that's comfortable!
I will be miserable until spring. I need to move down south!Just my 2 hour indoor walk, as usual today.
Don't know about steel, but I seem to be getting used to the winter temps. Mind you, sidewalks are totally bare, so it's just like summer walking, but with a winter coat, boots, hat and mittens.Wow. You are made of steel to think that's comfortable!
And, believe it or not, you can feel the sun's warmth when it shines on you.
Don't know how long I'll keep this up, because eventually it's going to snow again, but I did the full 30 minutes today.

2 hour indoor walk again today. I try to do it from 2:30pm to 4:30pm, if I get my dishes done in time. Then I have a coffee as a reward. I'm glad I got started because it seems like there is no stopping me now. And man, it was hard to get started! I never thought I would. It's hard to walk past evil person, clutter, dust, washing machine you can't use, etc for 2 hours. But maybe I'll walk myself back to health & walk right out of here someday soon....
