Yesterday I drank my lemon water before coffee, exercised, ate my protein, drank 80 ozs of water and 10K steps.
Keep on keeping on and trust the process

I'm still waiting for my readiness score to return to normal. According to AI personal trainer it is 52 which means I'm not fully depleted in need of complete rest, but my body isn't fully recharged and isn't ready for high intensity push. I feel great with good energy so I'm going to return to normal step count and movement today and hope for the best.

All changes have consequences - both positive & negative.
I have been putting my focus on reading more, which is going well. However, my walking time has reduced. Hum.... I could utilize audio book but my mind drifts too much for that. I could read while I'm walking. Although that could be dangerous not paying attention to where I'm going. I could read while walking on treadmill. Hum...trying to think what are my other options?

On the other hand, I increased my steps yesterday and my readiness score went in the wrong direction. It reduced 10 points Instead of improving it. Time to experiment and see how and what I can change to make an improvement in this health score.

I was off yesterday…

Woke at 4 am with a headache and that started my day.

Did walk Amelia, but no lemon/water before coffee. My stomach was off.
Not a lot of water or steps.

NSV… put a pair of jean on Tues and I couldn’t keep them up! Surprise to me as when I look at myself in the mirror my stomach doesn’t look like it’s reduced much. Must be in other parts of my body.

Still working to learn what works best for my body.
Yesterday I increased steps to 8K and hourly movement to 13. My readiness score tanked. argh!
On the positive side - the change made in the bedroom furniture seems to have resulted in best night sleep I've had in a long time. Was it a fluke or can it become consistent? Time will tell.

I am FINALLY seeking some signs that give me hope that changes I've made are influencing my health in the right direction.
I kept my step count & hourly movement up and the readiness score is recoverying. AI personal trainer has stopped telling me to take a complete rest day.
IMHO, stress has a bigger effect on health than I realize. If I just look at the physical actions then it doesn't give me the complete picture. Reminding myself that stressful things happen all the time. I can either let my thoughts go to the potential disaster and stress out about all the possibilities........ or acknowledge that I will be able to deal with whatever the outcome and go through it with confidence.
