I check in here every Friday, but my fitness week is Monday – Sunday. So my check-ins are always about a week behind.
Last Week (April 16 – April 22, 2018):
Another decent week. I did really well five days, not as good two days. This lead to overeating on those two days, and no weight loss. I did hurt myself doing yoga (I think) and Saturday was in a lot of pain. But then it seemed to settle down, so I’ve been walking slower and watching to make sure I don’t get a serious injury.
I’ve started using a new app… HabitMinder, and I really like it. You can monitor up to three habits for free, and it’s $4 for unlimited habits. It’s Apple Watch compatible, which I like. Right now I’m using it to track my water intake. You can set reminders throughout the day to help and can easy add amounts to help track. I like that you can create and track almost any habit – like reading, being kind, squats, etc. It’s a cool app and I look to try out more things soon.
My Movement*:
Monday: 60 minutes yoga + 30 elliptical walking, 8,541 steps/day
Tuesday: 52 minutes walking, 12,053 steps/day – 5k finished
Wednesday: 36 minutes walking, 11,724 steps/day
Thursday: 60 minutes yoga + 32 minutes walking, 11,754 steps/day
Friday: 56 minutes walking, 12,451 steps/day – 5k finished
Saturday: 62 minutes walking, 13,586 steps/day – 5k finished
Sunday: 45 minutes walking, 12,895 steps/day
Goals for April:
