Found a new walking route today. Did a 5k+ walk!

Indoor Walk
Didn’t get a chance to walk today so I did a jog on the mini-tramp. 30 minutes while watching TV.
Move Goal
I bumped my move goal by 150 calories today. I had been meeting and exceeding it every day (98% over the last year).
Let’s see if I can keep this up!

Here we are…
These are such strange times. All the time spent at home. Working from home. Because COVID-19. Days blend together. But also daily lunch dates with my lovely. How much longer? A few weeks. Maybe more.
Coming Clean
Eating was ok today, not awesome but not the worst. No walk – had to do some shopping. Thanks COVID-19. Just a day. But still upright.
Easter Stroll
Nice little walk today, 2.4 miles. The green part is a little hill we run up and down.
Challenge Accepted
Our friend group decided to hold each other accountable for getting exercise every day. We’ll walk at least a mile and share the results or map.
Love this idea. One more level of accountability.
Movie Night
Watching Happy Death Day tonight in a global stream party with Jessica Rothe and crew! Also, having pizza. Need to be careful and pay attention to how much and how fast.
Revisiting Mindless Eating
The learning modules from Omada has some information on this topic.
The scenario: After mindless eating while watching TV you find yourself wanting more, seemingly still hungry. In addition to my thoughts below, there is research that looked at why this happens.
The research suggests that this is because we were not “present” while eating. Essentially, we need to employ all 5 of our senses while eating to ensure out body knows what we’re doing. Even hearing the food go down. How’s that for some science.
As I’ve been paying more attention to eating more slowly, this has a side benefit of paying more attention to the experience. Armed with the knowledge above, I’ll be able to focus more and not turn into food zombie.
