Working part-time upright making sales as a front-store associate. A lot of my time is working the sales floor, and besides customer contact, there's maintenance and cleaning. Much of my time is walking or standing about for 6-½ hours, although never continuously.
Yardwork this year included hedge trimming, leaf raking and bagging. Gardening this past year included preparing the garden with garden stakes, sowing potted seedlings, trellis prep, ceramic planter prep, watering, weeding, lather, rinse, repeat, harvesting.
After growing season, trellis removal, pulling old vines and plants, emptying off ceramic planters and stowing off drainage stones and ceramics. Cleaning and storing of tools and items to winter over.
That, and household chores, cooking, maintenance, cleaning, garden composting. Soon will be shoveling snow from my parking space and walkway; the stuff ground crews will not do a complete job with. Also cleaning snow for my elderly Mom's car as well.
My calorie intake is monitored with a weight management phone app, and my calorie input/output is tracked with that.
Although my doctor would describe me as "obese," my weight in the past 6 years has not varied greatly, and my current weight has been maintained for the past 8 years.
Although my health insurance provides a gym membership, since the pandemic I've not visited the gym for more than a handful of times to do upper body exercises. My exercise trainer said I was not allowed on certain gym machines until a physical therapist corrected my shoulder impingement/range of motion. That didn't work out because of the pandemic, and my health insurance wouldn't cover extra PT visits once only ¾ of the PT exercises were finished. It's still possible for me to do upper body and leg, just not shoulder or back machines, because of the impingement restriction.
And just FTR, "round" is a "shape."
