What's on your (photo) Friday menu?
Good morning ~ Thank you Friday - I never thought you would get here! Rough work week. I can't stop dreaming about moving on while still hoping things get better. I'm still thinking about how different my weekdays are from my weekends. How packed and exhausting M-F is compared to the weekends. No wonder I don't want to go anywhere or do much of anything. I need a change, but need a plan so I'm writing and working on figuring that out. My foot feels better today - yay! I'm still wearing good shoes and icing over the weekend to make sure. Today, I'm off early and need to go to Costco and the grocery store. This weekend we are just chilling the usual house chores, pedicure, relax, nap, football, Halloween movies, BBQ, kids coming over for Sunday dinner and it's game 1 of the World Series tonight.
QOTD - Yesterday I referred to a lifestyle checklist - though I don't actually have one, I like the idea of a checklist to meet all my daily goals. What would your lifestyle checklist look like?
Mine would be to weigh-in everyday, post on OH, 1300cals, 114g protein, 28g fiber, 80+ounces of water, vitamins (don't forget the evening ones), 10k steps, strength training 2x week, yoga/stretch 1x, Hike or beach walk on the weekends. I feel like I'm forgetting something important! I need this list especially for days I am too tired/distracted/stressed to see it on my own. I'm going to put it on the fridge and at my desk because I'm really good at ignoring my phone reminders lately.
Accountability - great - 67 active minutes, 10,891 steps - I did some simple stretching for my back, but no real yoga session. Today I am 166.8, well hydrated with 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
b- coffee, legendary pastry
l - grilled chicken, quest chips
d - side salad w/chicken first - then 1 slice of pizza
s - apple, watermelon, yogurt
Have a great day and weekend!

Luckily I'm a good sleeper and get a solid 7 a night, sometimes 8 and rarely have insomnia, though it does happen occasionally. My exhaustion is mostly mental. I need to shut down which is probably why I'm not very social in general or active on the weekends anymore. I really need a new job, I only see this one getting more intense.

QOTD- I need to come up with one.
I did make the nature park yesterday 1.75 miles and 8930 steps because I also went to Costco. I got my new glasses ordered, picked up the sale items and it still was over $100.
One more nice day so I will get my walk in. It is cold out and I did wear a sweatshirt and gloves on my walk which helped. Then we will get over an inch of rain over the weekend. So I'll have to figure something out.
TGIF I'm not sure why but this has seemed like a long week. I can't wait for football, hoping the Ducks can stay at #1. Not sure how the Big 10 works for conference championship right now Indiana is showing as the top of the conference I guess I'll find out.
Have a great day everyone!
