This weekend, I was looking at some Apple watch data with my dad, who just got his first ever Apple watch (series 7), since his old Fitbit finally bit the dust. He specifically was interested in some of the more sophisticated Health trackers that Apple has. As we were exploring the "Browse" category in the… Continue reading Some random health data from my Apple watch
Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates
Coming at you from Sick Day #2 of the week over here (well, more like Sick Day #5, technically, but I mean Sick Day #2 off of work). I started getting a sore throat on Friday but didn't think too much of it really. I had several long phone calls on Thursday and I sat… Continue reading Sick edition
I have long known that a solid protein intake is very important for overall health, plays a crucial role in body composition, muscle growth and recovery, and much more. (Even before I read Peter Attia's Outlive, lol!) I first tracked my macros back in ~2014 for a few months, which was quite eye-opening and educational.… Continue reading Reincorporating more protein + my current sources!
Today I did something I haven’t done in a LONG time: I ran! On the treadmill, because it was very cold out and let’s not get too crazy. I really need to do more cardio. You all know I am Team Strength Training, and I feel pretty strongly that strength training is the secret sauce… Continue reading I ran!
Officially September! I am pretty happy with certain aspects of my life in these past few weeks. A few areas - not so good. But overall, I think I have more WINS than FAILS. August Wins 1- extremely consistent workouts! On week 5 of my monthly strength plan and haven't missed a strength workout yet.… Continue reading August Wins and Podcast Recs
I had my chiropractor consult last week. This was my first time visiting a chiropractor. I selected this particular office based on searching our local FB group for recommendations, and then noticing that a few friends/ acquaintances that I feel are smart, trustworthy people had all recommended a particular practice. Figured I would not waste… Continue reading Back update + chiropractor
I have a question about flexibility. And no, not flexibility as in what I might normally talk about in this space- the flexibility to work from home, or work/life balance, or things like that. I am literally talking about flexibility, of your body. Is it actually possible to really improve flexibility??? I feel like I… Continue reading Flexibility: a question
It always boggles my mind how the same thing can sometimes feel either SO hard or SO easy. I think this is because I'm really quite an all-or-nothing person. So when I'm "in" on something (mentally, I guess), it can seem quite easy. But when I'm "not in", it can feel impossible. This past week… Continue reading Week in review/ workouts going strong
It's been an enjoyable weekend so far. Yesterday I NEEDED some open time to catch up on some things- I had been persistently sort of ignoring my personal email inbox honestly since we got home from Costa Rica. I mean, I had dealt with the must-dos, but it had just really accumulated and needed attention.… Continue reading Pondering: G.R. and extreme diet changes
