Mahalak Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 It's one thing to know what's right, another to do it. Time to do it! Centering Prayer - an important way to start the day. Weight Exercise - 3-4 times per week, largely bodyweight Walking - aiming for 50K per week 8 Cups of Water per Day On Forum 3 days per week - I'm a loner, so it is too easy for me to disappear.

Totally understand. On the miss days, just remember that tomorrow is a new day and try and do better. Momentum can keep you moving sometimes when you don't feel like it. My challenge overall is doing well. I had one really bad nope day, but most I have been able to do at least something. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mahalak Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 Thanks for the feedback everyone! First, to clear up any confusion, I've typed this shorthand for so long I forget it's shorthand! That's 5K STEPS per week! My bad! 🥴 I'm also realizing that I largely put in numbers that I had worked up to, and then slid from over time. While I had been at 50,000 steps per week, sadly I slacked off from that. So it is silly of me to think I'm just going to back to that. I need to build up now, as I built up before. So I'm thinking... Centering Prayer - 10 min per day. Weight Exercise - 3-4 times per week, largely bodyweight. This has been a consistent! Walking - aiming for 40K per week, or less than 6,000 steps per day. I think I can achieve more, but again, I need to build up. 6 Cups of Water per Day - 1.5 of my water bottle per day. Need to cut down on the liquid crap I've been drinking. Eating out to support the economy has meant more Diet Caff-free Coke. On Forum 3 days per week - I want to make this a priority. I read a Quora quote on fitness today that really struck me. Nothing new or breathtaking, but it hit me nonetheless. "Try not to miss the workout, go just for 15 minutes but mark your presence. This may not help you in your fitness directly but it will definitely make you much more disciplined. Remember 'Everyday counts'" Peace out, everybody! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Sidhe Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Looking forward to watching you go. I get having the oops and doing 50K instead of 5K. Typos can happen. How is the walking going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mahalak Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 Been getting my activity minutes in by finally finishing our unpacking after moving back in August (had some rooms to finish up first). Sadly, slept horribly last night due to back pain, so I've taken today VERY easy, hoping things settle back into form quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Sidhe Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I am so sorry your back is not happy. Hopefully it feel better soon. Does it feel good to have the unpacking done? And I totally understand wanting to finish the rooms before unpacking everything. That makes logical sense to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
