It's probably a bit late in Australia but Happy Birthday

Thank you @Montserrat , @TopNotch , @Fremen , @NancyTree , @JCU , @Froud , @Nanna Io and @Silent Wolf . We're in but it hasn't gone smoothly. I have four holes in the ceiling where the plumbers went looking for the leaking pipe and came to the conclusion that on of the upstairs showers needs to be re-sealed. I have now had the garage door fixed as it came crashing down the other night with pieces of hinge and springs everywhere. We have people coming out today to remove the mould and fix the water-damaged skirting board. But aside from these teething issues, it is a home.
Thank you @mavie , @TheLibrarian , @JCU, @Silent Wolf , @TopNotch , @Montserrat , @Fremen, @Gandhalfit[/USER] , and @NancyTree for the birthday wishes. My apologies for those I've included late because I missed them in the scrolling. I was that busy yesterday I nearly forgot about it myself.
I haven't been around The Hive for quite a while as still somewhat broken. I am healing and can start doing light strength exercises although my physio is quite cautious. I can just imagine the look on my face as he was trying to explain what I'd done to myself and that glazed look of me not understanding what he was saying, like a Neanderthal. From my limited understanding of shoulders, it was something called an AC where the clavical and scapular meet. Mine had separated and that apparently is not meant to happen which explained the discomfort and loss of strength and mobility. My hard earned restarting everything from scratch again has just gone out the window and my streak is floating in limbo at zero, although I now have enough rehab exercises to do at least fifteen continuous minutes of activity from today onwards. I might even be able to start everything all over again, again. So Foundation Light program and Meditation 30-day challenge. I can't do full gravity exercises yet (full push-ups, burpees etc) yet but will get there but some cardio and some ab work can be done so we'll see. I was going to start them in the new year but honestly why put it off? If I use the excuse of waiting for the new year then I'll probably find another excuse then as well so I should just get it started and get back into the routine.
To be continued later.... (hopefully after doing something meaningful)
Day One: 20/12/2022 (Lets hope this is the last Day One for quite some time, if not, altogether)
AM Gym Session
Rehab exercises including band work, foam roller stretches, cable rows (5 sets of 10) , cable chest press (3 sets of 10, incline push-ups (4 sets of 10)
Foundation Light program (again): Day 1 (not so) Fast Pace Cardio - Done at Level III. Shoulder complained a little during the Side Jacks but as it was only 3 per set I did them slower and didn't push to hard.
Meditation 30-day challenge: Day 1 - Done as "Anytime Breath" (7:12 minutes) via Fit On app.
20 minutes ice pack. Not a bad effort. I will see if the shoulder is okay for some more rehab exercises in another session later. More ice required throughout the day though. I was in trouble from the physio for not enough icing in the three days since I last saw him.
PM activity
Rehab Exercises (8 exercises) - Done using the Physio app
20+ minutes Ice.

True mate. The fella I'm seeing is only young but after he commits Grievous Bodily Harm on me, I can knock out about 10 push-ups quite easily whereas without his pain I can only do a couple and with considerable discomfort. Our first goal of range of movement is ticked off, now we are working on the slow process of rebuilding strength from almost zero. He nearly fell over when I verbalised my though bubble of doing bench press and deadlifts again. No weights for some time, possibly months. No martial arts for a while and no sparring for considerable time. I'm not good at following direction but this kid has me believing so I have promised to do all my homework (rehab exercises) and ice regularly. And without going overboard (mind you that is a relative term).

Sounds like your physio is going like physio is supposed to go then. 
That is good news.
Sorry to hear about your shower, I had to reseal a shower drain once and it is is a pain when it happens.

Day Seven: Monday 26/12/ 2022
1.05 km walk for coffee and to check out the beach weather at beautiful Mona Vale Beach. It was quite foggy to start with but the sun burnt through the cloud cover and turned into a beautiful day. So I ended up doing a 2.34km walk along the beach.
![fitbitshare_1277411354[1].JPEG](https://www.community.darebee.com/data/attachments/0/785-bc69d4e6dd795c39588ad5a0f50fa994.jpg?hash=vGnU5t15XD "fitbitshare_1277411354[1].JPEG")
Then a couple of hours splashing about with the kids, teaching my daughter to bodysurf. Until I got sunburnt to a crisp and now paying for it.

Oh and my FitBit is dead. It didn't take too kindly to body surfing and died even though they are supposedly water resistent. This is the second Fitbit to die possibly from water. Sorry Fitbit but I'm thinking Strike Three and you're out. I will now look at Garmin products and hope they are more sturdier construction.

4.10 km walk in 46:23 minutes to get coffee

2.38 km walk in 40:28 to get groceries
By my records, today is the national days of Cuba, Haiti, Slovakia, Sudan and Taiwan. In honour of all these, I decided to go a little silly in the kitchen. I cooked Arroz Imperial (Imperial Rice) from Cuba, Griot from Haiti, Zemiakove Placky (Bramborák) from Slovakia, Baseema from Sudan and Rou Zao Fan (Braised Mince Pork) from Taiwan. Needless to say it didn't mix too well but overall were well received. Thank goodness I have a few days off to clean the kitchen and recover before the next national day!
It is also:
Apple Gifting Day, Bonza Bottler Day, Commitment Day, Copryright Law Day, Ellis Island Day, Euro Day, Global Family Day, International Public Domain Day, Mummer's Parade, National Bloody Mary Day, National First-Foot Day, National Hangover Day, National Shepherd Day, Polar Bear Plunge Day, Ring a Bell Day, Rose Bowl Game, Solemnity of Mary, Universal Hour of Peace, World Day of Peace, Z Day, Saint Basil's Day, Diet Resolution Week, National Silent Records Week, Celebration of Life Week, National Mentoring Month, National CBD Month, National Bath Safety Month, National Black Diamond Month, National Blood Donor Month, National Braille Literacy Month, National Hobby Month, National Hot Tea Month, National Oatmeal Month, National Slavery and Human Trafiicking Awareness Month, National Slo Cooking Month, National Soup Month, National Sunday Supper Month,
Looks like I missed a couple of national days, Restoration of the Czech Independence Day, Independence Day for Cameroon, so no offence to those citizens and it appears my list needed updating.

Happy New Year! 
I can definitely recommend Garmin. I've used mine on different swims, and wear it all the time. My current one is 3 years old and no problems so far.

I think Fitbit is more a smartwatch than a sports watch. My first watch was a Fitbit, I had 3 new ones (within the warranty) in the first year because of the same strap problem (and I didn'teven swim). Then chose to get my money back and made the switch to Garmin.
Funny that there's a Thank God It's Monday day
I don't feel that way this morning

Yes @NancyTree , it seems that way. I've heard good things about Garmins from my colleagues as well. It looks like its time to move on from FitBit. I did say when the last one broke that they got a second chance but this time it's strike three and they're out. Its now been over two weeks and I've had mine sitting in a container of rice so it should have fully dried out by now but it still seems dead.
I'm a little behind in my logging but still been active so I'll try and be brief.

Day Twenty-Six: Saturday 14/1/2023
Water First Thing 30-day challenge: Day 5 - Done
My daughter's birthday so we went out for breakfast but that was cut short by me being called into work. The job was done by the time I arrived but stayed for the three hour recall for the $$ and actually got a bit done.
Home again and managed to still cook my daughter's favourite meal so I'm back in the good books.
The Guardian 30-day challenge: Day 14 - Done
More unrecorded running around but suffice to say I was busy.

Lunch for my daughter's birthday and my Mother-in-Law. My son and I left the crowd and went off on our own. Very productive afternoon. I am now the proud owner of a Fitbit Aspire 2 despite my misgivings about owning another Fitbit. It was cheap at $74 and does everything the old one did but not as fancy. I cannot afford a Garmin yet so this is only a stop-gap measure.
