It's TIME for FFF again! We made it through February and into March! That's something!
I'm not doing so well getting back into the swing of things, it seems, but even though I only officially exercised ONCE this round it was a good hour's worth of walking, which is 3 times what I normally do (20 mins). So that has to mean something right?
Here's the tally :
Exercise - 1 of 4
10k days - 3 of 5
Highest no of steps in a day - 17,174 on Friday
I'm definitely over my flu now, and I'm almost finished with all the leftover CNY treats, so there're no more excuses (*sad face*).
I'm looking forward to all your updates... in the meantime, here are some links (as always) on a bunch of different topics.
Top 10 Essential Oils to Always Have at Home (or at least try and get hold of the top 5)
Tone Up Butts and Thighs - good for spankos everywhere!
And that's all from me.
I think you do amazing with your steps!! So don't beat yourself up too much.... every day is a new start :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I dont really feel “guilt” about not exercising if i manage my steps. But i also dont want to start using that as an excuse cos i know i could easily end up justifying EVERYTHING. I know the sort of person i am. So i try to be conscious of it. This week has been better.
DeleteHi Fondles, thank you for finding and sharing the links each week.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are over the flu. What do you mean not doing so well getting back in the swing? You are doing fantasticly with your goals, and especially the step count.
My update: On track with the exercises but have missed a few walks due to weather. I did manage to walk one way at least on those days. No of stair climbs down by one a couple of days (aim is 3) because of lack of time due to other commitments.

That was a freak day. I dont know how i got in so many steps! Must have had a ton of errands to run :)
DeleteIt's hard. Your goals are a bit loftier than mine, so even when you half-way do some of it,it doesn't look bad to me! But just know that I'm cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteThank u! I know its ok even if i dont hit my targets. Its just i KNOW when its genuine and when im just being lazy lol.
DeleteFrom experience, be VERY, VERY careful when taking NSAIDS. Only take them for occasional inflammation. Never for long term pain.
ReplyDeleteA word to the wise,

Yup. And im also vehemently against ibuprofen. Ive heard some really bad things.
DeleteEven though you're healed now, you DID have the flu, and you did have the CNY treats... so don't beat yourself up over it. It's a new week now, and you'll do great! I appreciate the articles you link!
ReplyDeleteI hope the articles are useful. I know i enjoy looking things up online so its no bother at all for me to link them here!
DeleteYou had a fabulous week especially seeing you were recovering from the flu, Fondles. Your step count if very impressive. Would it be possible to include some hints on including more fibre in our diets please? I have been googling things and finding some good ideas. thank you for all the other articles.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy xx
I usually don't manage crazy high numbers - at most it's 11k or 12k for the >10k days. I also have days where I don't even hit 5k so I guess it averages out!
DeletePerhaps I should look into average step counts. I wonder if fitbit can do that for me without my having to manually do sums!
Just checked the heart healthy foods and most of them include fibre. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL - No problem. I'll definitely have a look at fibre for tomorrow's recap. There's a lot to be said about that - I've spent some time looking at the difference between soluble and insoluble fibre, what it does, how they work etc. I'll be sure to post some links!! Thanks for the suggestion :)
DeleteThank you Fondles xx
