5/5:
An hour of strength training. Not as many steps as I would like but time wasn't on my side yesterday. So, improvement needed but not horrible sloth.1 -
5/5:
No cinco de Mayo celebration for me yesterday even though a margarita would have been fun. I will call the 5th a victory day. I crushed my rings and had nearly 24k steps. Eating/calories/macros were all good. Can I do that every day? Likely not but it felt good nonetheless.2 -
I'm just back from a staycation. Not mentally up to making specific goals but I know that this theme is what I need. I started working (hard) in my yard on Sunday to make up for the lack of fall cleanup. I'm doing 1-2 hours a day so far and will continue each day as long as it doesn't rain.1

Tishsmith, don't consider yourself late to the party. Sounds like you have opportunities with yard work. Now that I'm on a 3 month staycation I'm thankful for having a 3/10 of an acre yard with flower gardens all the way around the perimeter as well as all the way around the house. Let's keep a positive attitude together. This I struggle with

5/6:
11k steps. 5 Mile Boosted Walk (Leslie Sansone).
Alas, Le Grand Saboteur got pizza. Enough for lunch and dinner for all of us. And having had to go out in the mess for a child's vision appt, wearing a mask, dealing with ridiculous traffic (hair salons and tatoo places reopened yesterday in TN), fighting with an ATM, the bank lobby to deal wit a fubarred debit card where I got looked at like a tinfoil lunatic for wearing a mask to protect others (Lawd!
), torrential rains, flash flooding, and then a dump truck dropping off a load further delaying me getting home with a starving 9-year-old in tow...well a lot of pizza happened. Well, head up and moving on. 2 -
Check in for 5/5 and 5/6.
1. Not quite goal for 15,000 steps on 5/5 but made up for it on 5/6 with > 18,000.
2. Closed step rings both days though.
3. Low carb and low calories both days. Actually having some challenge eating enough.
4. 4 days of run/walking so far. I seem to be increasing cardio capacity. Yesterday was so successful that I ran up hill. I've got hope for being able to run an entire mile without stopping. I've been ignoring the body weight exercises though.
5. Working on the stress, today is the National day of prayer so that's what I'm focusing on.
Keep up the good work everyone during this crazy times.2 -
5/6:
Yesterday was another good day so I feel like I’m on a roll! Just over 21k steps and all rings closed on my watch so the move more is working. Next week may slow down a bit as I intended to switch my exercise focus to weight training so we’ll see how I get creative. Food wise I was over on calories but macros were good and by focusing on carnivore primarily, my sugar cravings are decreasing. I did make an emergency batch of keto brownies to have on hand just in case.1 -
I'm liking the effort I see everyone capturing. That plus sunshine helps my outlook tremendously.
Dealt with a work computer issue yesterday afternoon and didn't get outside but I will today. Chilly but very sunny and that's exactly what I like when working in the yard. I have lots of vines to get rid of and those use all my muscles LOL.
I started intermittent fasting Tuesday, so far it seems like something I can commit to weekdays.

5/7:
Was supposed to be a strength day, but it was sunny, if cold, so I switched my days and did a yard hike. 12k steps for the day.
BTW I call it a yard hike as my yard is big and hilly and my Fitbit counts it as about 44 flights of stairs.
So as the rains come today, I'll do strength.1 -
