Wednesday Wellness Check

     Tryin for a accountability, I'm checking in on my lack of progress. Still, awareness is a start. 

  • Lose five pounds. Not a single pound. 
  • Walk 10 miles per week. With working yesterday, several care days then an overnight, I did not get out for intentional walks. I think perhaps I got 6 miles in. 
  • Strength and weight resistance exercise two hours per week. I'm giving myself yellow in this. With using my ankle weights and doing several 10 minutes options a day I may be close. Tracking is needed. 
  • Ensure I have at least six fruit and veg servings per day with at least three being vegetables. This was a green progress. I even packed two servings for my school lunch yesterday.

    For me, tracking & monitoring is at least half the battle, so well done getting a start on this. - Hawaii Planner

      I'm hoping the accountability will show me I am my own challenge, so therefore, my own solution.

    Hugs from me. Love seeing this! You did see some progress and that is good - even with less activity, getting more fruit and veg in is good :)!

      I've been much more tired than I feel I should be. I think that means I should move even more.

    Cronometer is a free app (I have it on my laptop rather than phone). It's a tool to log food intake and exercise output. I used it faithfully for almost 2 years and it really cleaned up my brain on food choices and exercise and the balance and/or deficit needed to hold steady or lose weight.

      I'll look into it. My ancient phone has no more room for apps.

    I have been slowlyyyy losing weight with eating cleaner but I decided to add some exercise this week. I’ve been walking, doing some core exercises and light weight training, I pick at least one thing a day. I’m notorious for starting strong and fizzling out so we’ll see what happens. JoAnn

      Good for you. I'm frustrated with myself that I let the weight come back on when I wanted the opposite. I'm still lower than a year ago but was doing really well moving forward.

    Since my accident and surgery, I have put on about two pounds. That does not discourage me. My new goal is not to gain any more. Then, I can have the goal of losing a bit later.

    Consistency is key, so your several 10 minutes a day counts towards your progress.

      I think so too. My left side is still much weaker than right.

      Thans, Vix. A start is better than I stop so I'll take it.

Sunday Thoughts It's Now Fall

Image
      Picture at  Pexel.com      Or is tomorrow officially fall? I never remember if the seasons change on the 20th or 21st, but my weather alert text said today's the last day of summer.  " Last day of summer! Increased sunshine with warmer highs in the mid-70s, isolated severe storms possible. Pleasant weather this week."      It's a perfect morning sitting outside while the dogs play and I have my coffee. I've had a good weekend so far and am ok with getting some rain. Though, my daughter is working a festival and rain could keep crowds away. She's helping her friend in the food truck, but was hopeful she'd see some good return on her time in tips. Yesterday I met her  roommate at the finish line of younger daughters 1/2 Marathon.  Her time was not unexpected as she really paced herself at a slow steady run. We had a nice lunch after. Later I joined family for a perfect night for a fire at my sister's. My BIL grilled bu...

Monday Morning Thoughts for a Busy Week

      This just working part time is more than enough when my week feels busy. I don't recall the last time I had so much in a short period of time. I also have cat duty for my sister morning and evenings until Thursday. She and another sister joined Memphis commuter sister on her work trip.  Monday: Besides a few meetings and adding more to the project documents I have two personal tasks. One is picking up my daughter's bike from the repair guy. Her car is too little, and I might keep as she looks for a more road worthy version. I'm not opposed to a couple useable bikes here. I also have an appointment to get a copy of my marriage license. I have one, but not sure if I'll need to send anything for social security so wanted a second. If timing works, I am going to try to get to at least the second half of my great nieces first highschool soccer game. The Minnesota Vikings season starts tonight.  Tuesday: I have the AAUW Knowledge and Nibbles event. I joined out ...

It's Worse Than I Imagined

      The shit show since January 20th has been a big reason for my reclusiveness the last few weeks. Let the comments fly. Create a crisis. Lie that you resolved it. Get your sycophants to suck it all up. Rinse. Repeat...for four F' ing years.  Oh, and let's shout, "but her emails" while a foreign oligarch is raiding our private personal data with his hoard of teenagers. Let's pardon January 6th criminals, several of which immediately committed additional crimes.  I said it was going to be my only political post election post but man, it's even worse than I could have imagined.
