Healthy Habits 3/15

Really busy week, but I got in 2 yoga. I'm really trying to keep my right hip limber. I was hit by a car as a teen and it has been really acting up lately. Food was ok. I wasn't that hungry so I ate a little less.

I hope you find relief with yoga. I find it helps my osteoarthritis quite a bit.

Actually dropped a pound this week. Not far to go to be back where I was last fall. Exercise has been sporadic.

Last week I felt hungry all the time and this week not so much except just before meals. I don't know what I'm doing differently, but it makes life easier. I've also gone two weeks without wine/alcohol, and while I've occasionally missed that glass of wine with dinner, I am happy to be saving all those unneeded calories.

The sun and warmer days are back, so I'll get outside and move around a lot more.

Have kept up my regular routine, more of less - however did some bike threshold tests and run threshold tests that taxed my reserves! 'Coach' has changed up my weight routine as a result. Leg strength failed before cardio did, so now I'm doing more sets, less reps, and heavier weights! For example I've gone from squatting the bar 4 X 10-15, to a warmup set of 12 with the bar (45 lbs) then 5 sets progressing through 65, 75, 85 X 5-8.

I caved, and had a bowl of oatmeal and was in agony the rest of the day! I made oatmeal bars, but I'm not touching them! Next week DH and I meet with the health team for intake at the clinic that has accepted us. (We had been on a waiting list since moving here.) There is a dietician (Adam!). I am going to ask to see him about my gastro issues.

I had a couple of days off this week and with spring round the corner I set a challenge of walking 50km with the dog this week. I clocked 34km as of yesterday using mapmywalk.

I was recently diagnosed with widespread soft tissue rheumatism so this was my little f-u to the diagnosis.

I am going to continue to challenge myself whilst able and rest when needed but refuse to give up.

I ran into a few more hitches with my current weightlifting program, and think that I will focus on hypertophy (5 sets of 8-10 @ 60-65% of my 1 rep max) for the next six weeks. For whatever reason, I just feel generally weak these days, and my body tends to respond well to high volume.
