So I'm not usually that active as shown by some days when my MiFit says I've only done 400 steps that day (think it might not be working ...). However looking at my last week I was surprised how much I had done.
Starting on Thursday night it was badminton. So taken up badminton since the end of last year with some BWMC people. Been pretty regular playing every week when possible. Had some good matches. That was from 9:30 till 11.
Friday night impromptu bike ride, again with BWMC peeps. Started riding around 9ish and finished round 11:15. Rode pretty hard with some big hills. Hills mean one way easy, the other way not so easy ... Was able to pace myself however some hills I didn't manage to gear properly so had to walk them. Still hard. Hadn't eaten so was hangry ... probably made me ride harder.
Sunday we mucked around with a ball with the SCGH but did put in some goalkeeping practice. I did actually have the opportunity to play with the BWMC guys but haven't had much concentration lately so decided to decline. Even though its not physically hard to stand in the nets, it takes a lot of concentration to keep up with the ball.
Monday night finally joined some of the SCGH people swimming. Had been meaning to go swimming with them for awhile but usually they end up swimming quite far away and I ceebs. I actually really enjoy swimming, however that usually in the sea. It's more interesting with the waves. Didn't realize it was so different and actually harder >< in a pool. I mean laps didn't seem too interesting but trying to do them was soooo tiring. My freestyle was pretty terrible so had to rely on my breaststroke. Not as bad but still pretty slow. Can't get my breathing right. Need to practice more. Managed around 18 laps in an hour.
Errrm Monday night still, went badminton again ... Okay Monday night is my usual badminton night. Thursday is my extra if I don't do board games. So Monday minimum. Because I swam before this, during the hour in between I ate dinner. Not a great idea. Even though my first few matches were good I started feeling the food coming up. At times I had to ask to be given a moment to get rid of gas building up from running around. Didn't puke or anything. Just hard time playing some games. In the end wasn't too bad. And that was from 9 till 11.
Pretty active week for someone like me. Thing is I'm not doing this for any sort of fitness/losing weight reasons. I actually enjoy been active. Just rather be active with other people, more enjoyable. Also if there's a goal of some sort helps with motivation. Like winning a match or reaching a distance. So not like I'm avoiding doing these sort of things. Just sometimes location to do these things are too far, or cost too much. Otherwise I'd love to do more. If this old body of my will hold up ... well who knows if I don't try.
