My Plan for the Week (2/16)

Good Sunday mornin' to you.  I hope you're doing a little something for yourself this weekend.  

Let's review my hits and misses of last week, shall we?

Workouts 

Sun - walk (6000 steps)

Mon- bike/ walk (11,500 steps)

Tues- bike/walk (15,600 steps)

Wed- (bike/walk 14,600 steps)

Thurs- (bike/walk 16k)

Fri- (bike/walk 15,500 steps)

That was like walking/cycling 5 1/2 miles per day average.  As you can see, a lot of anxiety pedaling happening last week.  Again, no strength training. 😐  Between my hand injury and then needing to have a place to lay our panels flat, the workout area was the only thing available.  Sigh.  I guess that's going to have to be an end of month goal.  I'm not even going to stress over it because it is what it is right now. 

Water started out not great but still over 100 ounces per day between water, coffee and tea.  I caught the pattern early in the week.  Wednesday, I drank my upstairs water bottle before I got out of bed which triggered a whole day of peeing like a race horse.  (Where the hell did that saying come from??  Do race horses pee a lot?  Inquiring minds want to know!)  I know it's good for me, I'm getting in extra steps by running up and down but damn man.  So I guess I have to drink my upstairs bottle before I haul out of bed every morning if I want a chance at 64 oz of pure water which I did from Wednesday-Friday.

Lymph work was fair, maybe 3x so room for improvement for sure but I need to start wearing my compression socks on the daily.

My victories?  My steps continue to average over 10k per day and I have to tell myself doing it is better than not regardless of the end result.  I did some good food prep like making pumpkin muffins for snacks.  I also did 6 high protein burritos that turned out decent so we get one a week for lunches.  We'll have enough to last this week and next.  I think next time I would mix all of the ingredients because the chicken tasted dry to me.  No Evol burrito but it'll do for the burrito itch.  I need to find some sites for high protein recipe ideas.  My brain is too fried to come up with it's own right now.  Might be paint fumes.  I also didn't give in to the stress eating monster when new work and money horrors threw me back into childhood child support trauma hard.  

I feel like it wouldn't be wise to throw any new goals on when I clearly haven't mastered my original ones yet.  Otherwise my brain will say "awesome, look at what else you failed at!"  Ahh, nothing like the bully in your head. 😑  

I'd like to do equally good or better on lymph work.  My brain says "say strength training again" but it will only be a bonus if we're able to fit it in.  I'm not committing to it this week.  I do need to get the turkey meatloaf made and should probably whip up more muffins by tomorrow.  I'll need to let the batter sit overnight though since I'm using einkorn flour because the muffins are dry.  Or I'll need to add some banana or buy plain yogurt to add in.  Actually I have a big azz banana waiting to be chucked so banana it is.

Any health goals you're hoping to hit this week?
