2022 Totals: 1,002 Miles

2022 Totals: A year of working out on my elliptical while watching movies!

January - December 2022:

  • 1,002.62 miles in 84 hours, 44 minutes (3 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes)
    • The miles are equivalent to a little over 38 marathons, averaging 3 marathons a month!
    • Exercised 203 days out of 365 (157 days elliptical; 70 days kettlebell)
      • Some days I did both elliptical and kettlebell, and some days I did one and not the other.
      • Watched 52 movies, 3 documentaries, and 3 TV shows (listed chronologically on my Miles of Movies 2022 IMDb list; see full list alphabetized in blog sidebar)
      • 2.62 miles over year goal of 1,000 miles!
      It's been a good year, the first full year on the elliptical! My husband had to make some adjustments to the machine this year, tightening screws due to use and lubricating when it got squeaky, but other than that is has held up great and hasn't been turned into a clothes rack!

      I took time off this year, all of August due to extreme heat and Covid illness, and then another few weeks off between October and November; my year goal of 1,000 miles was still attainable and I pushed all of December to reach it, and I did! 

      Here's to 2023, another year on the elliptical and more movies I've never seen before!

      Not sure of what my goal will be other than continue what I've been doing: stay active, keep working at weight loss (I ended this year with less weight than I started but I gained a few pounds back the past couple months), enjoy more movies, and reach at least 1,000 miles again.
