    This coming week I start training for a half marathon in October so I’m going to focus on my training program. I’m also going to try and stay alcohol free this week. It really help with my calories! Not just the alcohol- the snacks that go with the wine…

    @jessicakrall8 - I’m glad you’re feeling better and confirmed you’re COVID-free.

    I’m going to concentrate on getting enough sleep and eating more ‘clean’ food, such as fruit, vegetables, and unprocessed food.

    I’ve got some odd work hours this week so it will be a challenge to sleep enough hours and get a good night of rest. I hope everyone has a great week.

    Hi Jessica, Yeah, the hardest part is getting back dressed after the shower, LOL! Boston was WICKED humid today with a long stretch of 90's days ahead! When it's like that my portable A/C only brings it down to about 82 - Bleagh! Stay COOL!

    We have too much leftover food from our daughter's birthday party. My plan is to avoid most of the unhealthy leftover pizza, chips, queso etc and tackle the leftover salad, fruit, and veggies. I'm also hiding from the cupcakes. Wish me luck.

    Directions to your house?!! I just want to help with the queso...LOL! Just kidding...I need none of it! Hope her party was amazing!

    @jessicakrall8 - your post made me laugh (quote:..."I wonder which turnip truck I fell from as a child...") so funny 🤣. Thank you for the humor & levity.

    My Plan for the week: keep the consistency going. I've been doing fairly well in the last week & a half, logging & mostly staying under, completing my studies, making my step-count goals. My (health-related) actions seem to have paid off & reflected on the scale this past weigh-in, which helps reinforce the focus.
    Note: I don't beat myself up if one day isn't perfect and I don't hit all the marks. I make a mental note and plan (mostly in my head) how my next day will go (what specific actions i can take to bounce back).

    ** A new habit I'm trying to implement: take 10 mins in the morning to Stretch

    Steps update (goal 6k):
    7/14 - 6,909
    7/15 - 5,123
    7/16 - 7,836
    7/17 - 8,091

    I intend to focus on (1) accurate food logging, especially tomorrow with a coworker's. birthday celebration. And (2) to pay attention to my emotions during TV watching to prevent the mindless eating that I often do.

    @izzyred9400 - I’ve heard stories about how the health monitoring features of watches can alert the wearer about a concern and prevent a medical emergency. I’m so glad you recognized that your blood pressure numbers were high and other data points had changed somewhat suddenly. You acted quickly and I’m sure that will make a positive difference. Best wishes identifying the underlying the cause of your higher blood pressure numbers so you can address it. You seem to be handling the waiting period well, staying calm until you have more information. You’re a fantastic role model for taking action on the things you can while not dwelling on the things that are outside of your control!
