Health and Fitness March 2025

[Lauralind]

I'm wondering if I should use this place for my appointment list. Keeping track of my parents appointments and such plus trying to put my own health and wellness as priority. I need to book my lab work which I should have done right away. I also need chiropractor for me and dh. Something.... both of us need help. And ds has appointments sometimes too.

I get a heart when I do something for me? Good food is a problem too. Breakfast is non existent.. lunch when I am home by myself... not very often. Some days supper is the only real meal.

So heart for booking something or attending something .. heart for eating right

Good enough for now. I'll be back with hearts after I actually do something. That's next...

Edit- Called the school. I didn't actually get a time but his key teachers she emailed maybe they will call me between the times.

Well I’ve stayed on my eating plan, drank 64+ ozs of water and getting in 12-16k steps daily. My weight keeps bouncing around.

However I wondering if some of my meds might be interfering with my weight loss. I am taking a very low dosage of Zoloft for my sleep hi honey, but a side effect is weight gain. So I’m going to stop taking taking it to see what happens.

Kittykat… congrats on your ’s WTG. Did I read somewhere you to are watching what you eat? Love your dollhouse btw.

Scale is stuck so I’m going to increase my protien to see what will happen.

You know I actually really like your healthy habits tracker Lady M. Better than what I did. Booking or attending something is not an everyday occasion to track. Eating right is. But recording sleep is something that might be eye opening. I think I sleep enough but I am a very early riser. And I could figure out how to track my meals. At least if I ate 3 meals... I don't very often

I don't need to lose weight. Making sure it doesn't go down too far.

I'll take today as extra bonus. I claimed a pto day from work. Exhaustion and headache and just overall need a day off. Probably won't take the whole day as I need to go look after dad a bit this afternoon.

And ds wasn't feeling well and wanted breakfast so I made pancakes and eggs. And been trying to drink more. I don't do that either.

Only thing is to do this detailed I have to give myself grace cause I give up really easy if I don't keep up. So anything is better than nothing.


So heart for
- booking something or attending something
- eating right
- drink water

Tracker

- Sleep 12- 445?
- 3 meals

I had 2 setbacks yesterday. Both are frustrating to me but thankfully they are both temporary.
** Dermatologist treatment with liquid nitrogen resulted in 11 blisters across my body. They will heal in a couple days if I keep them clean and covered in Vaseline. Not letting them get infected while healing is top priority.
** My laptop blue screened resulting in the loss of 11 days of data in spreadsheet. This greatly frustrates me because this type of data loss should never happen. I can recreate the data but first I need to finish pouting about it.

setting my timer for an hour.
***Pouting in earnest*** during this time
Giving myself a round of applause for excellent pouting.
Now that is done.
It is time to pick myself up, dust off the past failures while acknowledging I will never be perfect so quit acting like failure won't happen and get started again.

Did my staples yesterday nearly 10K
831 days of consecutive consistency !

WTG, Nancy!

RRose, thank you! I'm not officially watching what I eat (I think that may be Helian or L.Ann?) but I *am* trying to eat more fruit and veggies, drink more water and reduce my consumption of added sugar (I've got an intolerance to most artificial sweeteners, so anything containing those is a big no no. I'm learning to like the "unsweetened" varieties ), and also try and cut out as far as possible ultra processed foods. Reading labels has been an interesting experience! I do still eat chocolate, but it's a very "good" quality chocolate with no palm oil or emulsifiers or anything else like that. Of course, it's considerably more expensive, so I now eat far less chocolate than I used to The same goes for ice cream - I've found a very good quality ice cream that contains only about four ingredients, all of which are natural, and a price rag to match. That is now a very occasional treat. (Another win! ) I make my own cakes, so I know what's in them, and as I only usually bake once a week, once it's gone, it's gone. I don't usually buy shop-made biscuits, snacks etc. (DH does smuggle in crisps and snacks, but he keeps them in a drawer up in the spare room/ office for those days when he WFH )

I could probably do with losing a few kg, but I'm very aware that there are eating disorders running through both sides of my family, and, as at present, I have a "good" mindset towards food , I don't want to do anything like counting calories / points etc that could possibly risk triggering something, especially
as I can be quite competitive. That's also why I very rarely weigh myself. But I do know they can all be very helpful for other people .

Lady M, the treatment sounds very painful. I had one tiny "thing" zapped with liquid nitrogen years ago, and it was not nice! Sorry about the data loss, that's so frustrating. Is there a way of backing up your spreadsheets somewhere?

Laura, you're doing well! Making appointments is important, but can seem overwhelming if there are lots to do, so making a list and marking things off as you go shows you're making progress .

Saturday - I've done my exercises this morning - 22 hearts.
