Health and Fitness April 2025

[Twins' Mom]

I'm down 1.9 lbs for the month but was up .8 last week. That's comparing the 10 day weighted average for each. Perhaps too fine a measurement to look at a week. Weight was down after the trip to VA but has bounced around since. I averaged 8200 steps daily last week, aided by three 10K days. I missed a workout last week tho. I'm feeling better than I did after those three days with 10K steps, I've had achy hips interfering with my sleep.

Today I have my 2 p.m. workout. Right now, the dog is waiting for her walk.

Thanks for the infrared info, 8isenough. My massage therapist swears by it and has some kind of big machine and one can get sessions under it. He's used a lamp on me also.

April healthy habit focus = Exercises to stretch & strengthen
12345678910111213141516171819202122

Established healthy habits. April averages -
Sleep = 7hr 47min
Hydration = 120oz+
Cronometer = 291 days logging, 84 mineral/vitamins, 1406 calories, 38% protein
Move my body = 6599 steps, 10 hours with 250+ steps, AM walks=22, PM walks=14
Weight loss is at a pace of -1.02%

It is taking me forever to choose a habit to focus on next month. As I think through the possibilities I am drawn to big habits that could be too difficult. I need to challenge myself but make the focused habit simple enough so it can be successful. It can be a difficult balance to find .....easy but still a challenge.

Great workout, as usual. This young woman trainer really put me through my paces. Three rounds of upper body and core, then two rounds of legs to finish! It's been pouring rain this afternoon. If I hadn't missed one of my two workouts last week I might have wimped out, but I went, pouring rain both ways.
