Stayed home from work sick today which I rarely do...I think I was just exhausted because I've slept nearly all day. No workout as a result, but I should be better equipped to get up at 4 tomorrow

@Cadori Nice job getting 'er done! Feels great to start the day off with a workout. Although, I wouldn't know. I went out with the ladies from work last night. The good news is I avoided the bread which everyone said 'was to die for' Whatevs. I also ordered a $15 dollar, 2 tablespoons of Yellow Fin Tuna Poke meal. I was going to get the fried clams, so I made a better choice, even though the place was waaaay overpriced for what you got. The bad news is a had a couple glasses of wine and now I don't feel so good. Haven't had breakfast yet. Ugg! It's going to be a long day for me.0

Funny they should use that expression since they just might if they keep eating it.2 -
I've been doing really badly in terms of movement since I gave blood on Monday. I'm used to taking it easy the day of but ended up in a really bad "crash" mode on Tuesday.
I'm not sure what I did wrong since I made sure to hydrate/fuel on Sunday and Monday. But Tuesday all I did was sleep (literally wake up, pee, eat a bit, drink a bottle of water and go back to sleep). I'm making sure I get my hourly steps in today but holy hell yesterday sucked. Has anyone else experienced that after giving blood?? 0 -

Looks like I'm going to finish up the week strong, despite a Tuesday night blip, I'm doing OK.
Going for a walk in a few minutes before the rain starts. Carpe Diem!1 -
I got in 1.5 miles yesterday. If it doesn't rain this evening I will try to get in a walk since I have to take the kids somewhere anyway. Depends on how dark it is, though. The park near where they live is sometimes sketchy but should be fine in daylight.1
-
Yesterday I got 10 of 14 hour step goals done. Seems like the 9am and 2pm hour are a little iffy so aiming to improve that today and tomorrow.1

4/20 Kettlebell workout in the morning and evening. BG&A's in the afternoon. Three walks for a total of 6 miles. Carbs and calories were good.1

4/20: Staggered in circles up and down the hills of my yard for an hour, ducking suddenly when a bee made a drunken swerve, and with many nonsense interruptions from the offspring.
Active April: 19/20

This week I was still averaging 100g carbs/day and my calories are up near 2,000. It's a wonder I'm not gaining weight like crazy. I am walking lots more so that is helping. This is harder this time for some reason. Coming out with a "0" net gain/loss this week, due to some poor choices. There is nothing that should provide any temptations this weekend. So back at it for another week. Rest up for those who need it. Have a great weekend.1

It is good you are moving more. One thing to remember is if you are moving more, your muscles are growing. You don't have to have them grow to the point of looking like a body builder for the shift from fat to muscle to make positive differences such as better cardiovascular health, better metabolism and reduced size since muscle is denser than fat. Even more important is exercise is shown to be the best way of "browning" fat. If you are not familiar with the difference between white fat and brown fat, you can use Google to get some pretty good info on it. Short version is brown fat is denser, has more mitochondria (used for burning fat/ketones), increases your metabolism.
If you are more active but staying even in weight, that is not necessarily a bad thing is all I am saying.0 -

This was theoretically rest day, but I walked over 15k steps, including a bit of a hike with DH. (We tried to go canoeing but found out after we got to the park that the river was too high so no canoe rentals today. ) So we went hiking instead. 1

Getting back into it(ish) this week:
15- 6,721 steps, no extra exercise so not a great day.
16- 6,702 steps, 1.5 hours of Yoga
17- 8,323 steps, 30 minutes of Zumba, which my Vivofit reckons was actually running 2.57km.
18- 6,613 steps, took me 40 minutes to kick-scooter home.
19- 12,048 steps, so only meet my goal of 10,000+ steps once this week. This was probably thanks to the 35 minutes of kick-scootering (yay I got faster) and the 50 minutes of aquacise.
20- 6,848 steps, Took the bus to work but scootered to and from the bus stops which took about 10 minutes. 30 minutes of Circuit training to leave me aching, 35 minute scoot home.
21- 3960 steps, rest day because all my leg muscles were so sore I couldn't tell if I had any joint pain. No scooting or extra exercise.
So didn't meet my step goal but managed to meet my scooter goals and exceed my group exercise. Woo go me! 0 -
