today followed a familiar pattern – woke up earlier than planned, did the body weight routine (more on that shortly), failed to get the walk done (more rain), but actually had a good, productive day, had some excitement (signed the lease agreement for my new car🚙), and achieved a decent step count!
overall, it’s been a crazy busy week, with a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, but I’m enjoying the journaling again, getting back into the rhythm of posting, doing physical activity when I wake up, and generally feeling good!
food:
breakfast: 2 rashers bacon, 2 eggs, one medium tomato, handful of baby spinach, glass of milk with cold drip coffee and stevia flavouring
mid-morning: long black, noshu (no sugar) peanut snack bar
lunch: seaweed snack, small can tuna, small no-added sugar chocolate bar, bottle of kombucha
mid-afternoon: noshu coconut snack bar
dinner: fish and chips (yeah I know, not even grilled!)
other:
morning: metformin, trajenta, ancestral nutrition multi, usana cellsentials & biomega fish oil
evening: metformin, usana cellsentials & biomega fish oil
hydration pretty good today too!
activity:
total steps: over 8500 today…
physical, mood etc.:
mood and energy great while tiredness and stress need dealing with still ☹️
notes:
as promised… the basis of my “body weight” routine is something I’ve turned to on a number of occasions over the years / decades.
it’s a routine known as “5BX” which is short for “five basic exercises”. I’ve modified it a little, to the extent that this week I’ve being doing 5 reps of each exercise. Based on the principle of “small steps” it’s better than nothing, and helps set a habit!
