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. 

     

* I've been using the old template and updating. I'm at a one in terms of blog energy, but still want the connection.

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

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

  2. 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 :)!

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

  3. 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.

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

  4. 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

    1. 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.

  5. 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.

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

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

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