I started walking again for exercise today. Did 4600 steps on Thursday and 12000 steps Friday. My goal is to get back to doing at least 10,000 a day.25

I have a raised Garden by my house and I can reach the wall I couldn't last year because of my tummy. About 7years ago my wedding rings couldn't fit on my ring finger anymore. 😔 So I put them on my pinky finger, but now they're getting very loose on my pinky and almost fit on my ring finger again! 😁27

Visiting in laws for the weekend, no gym, one park with walking trails is literally underwater, and the last time I went walking along the highway (no shoulder, 18 wheelers everywhere) I got chased and bitten by a pack of Rottweilers. Could have stayed in the recliner w my coffee, but I got out and walked 4 miles in a big loop around their driveway. Definitely not exciting, but it did have a big hill and I got my walk in!24

I was feeling really bummed about my running because I just feel super slow. Yesterday I was doing C25K week 8 and as I was plodding along I convinced myself I get slower every week (because you go further).
Then I passed W7’s endpoint with about 3 minutes left of the podcast - so clearly I kept around the same pace!! And I reminded myself that even though 9.5-10min/km may feel like brisk walking my regular brisk walks as evidenced by my phone’s pedometer is more like 13min/km so there is a difference.13 -
This weekend is giving me many opportunities to test myself, apparently. Managed to stay on plan and pass up donuts, chips & cheese dip, pizza, homemade bread, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t even finish my second glass of wine bc I didn’t like it enough. Hit my calorie goal (I’d been too far below over the previous 2 days, so I ate a banana—not a cookie!—to get up to calories last night).
Surprisingly not as hard passing up the junk as it usually is...trying to remind myself it will not make me feel good to eat it (digestive issues lately, seem to be improving with some diet changes).17 -

This is an important one: knowing when foods will make you feel bad and avoiding them. I have countless times done this with dairy but I’m trying to put my foot down!4 -
After a lo-o-o-o-ng hiatus, I'm shopping at Shrimpton Couture again. Cherie (the owner) is a patient peach and has never been removed from my Interac e-transfer list this entire time. Whenever I get a piece from her site, I feel like I'm stepping back in time (I stay in the 60s and 80s, for the most part).
Right now, a vintage Thierry Mugler LBD with an open back has been calling my name. I feel like I bookmarked it more than a year ago. Not only is it still available...it's now on sale!
The NSV? This little black dress is more attainable for both my body and wallet now.
(But do I need another LBD, tho? lol These are great 'problems' to have, considering the times)18 -
Ordered a large pizza yesterday. Ate 1.5 slices for lunch and 1 slice for dinner. For me, that's progress!18

I ran 2.5miles without stopping 😊🏃♀️ I struggled to get past 1 mile at the start of lockdown. It also meant I knocked 2 minutes off my 5km PB!24

My average resting rate has dropped by about 15 bpm.
It's always higher when I'm fat and/or ill, so I'm pleased to see it come down.16 -
200 day streak, altho this feels very natural just life now.17

I hate a slice of pizza this morning, sort of, ate the toppings off and just a little of the crust, new for me!8

A Freudian slip, no doubt 😉 Congrats!

Finished the holiday weekend...kinda strong? Walked 4 miles a day every day, passed up all the “treats” (today offered chips and dip, burgers with buttered & grilled buns, and ice cream cake. Last night I skipped the cookies and wine).
I definitely overdid the (good) wine tonight after reuniting with my BFF post quarantine, but I’m pretty happy I avoided the chips and dessert and stuck to veggies, fruit, and salmon. Way too much watermelon, but sitting out in the heat made it taste so good. I’m usually a social eater—I look at what everyone else is eating and let their choices give me “permission” to indulge. Not this weekend!
Knowing that a few chips would lead to a bowl of chips, cheese dip, and a giant hunk of ice cream cake that isn’t even that good (and feeling bloated and icky tomorrow) made it much easier to eat what I knew would make me feel good, mentally and physically.13 -
Just graduated the C25K programme (again) in absolutely searing heat (well, for England, anyway).
Never thought that I'd get back to this point as it's taken forever to recover from being hit by a drunk driver whilst on my bike last July. I'm still not fully recovered as my head and one shoulder remain problematic.
Tomorrow I start the 10k programme.
And I'm really looking forward to it29 -
