Wow! I really had a great week last week - I met all my exercise goals, ate healthy, slept relatively well. It felt wonderful.
And then...
Monday when I was changing the litter, my lumbar spine gave a horrific crack. Lightning bolt pain down my spine.
Here we go again.
Here’s why diets don’t work, but having a healthy lifestyle does.
I’m not happy my back is out, but I am adjusting my days. I am walking and stretching, but I am not pushing it. I’m continuing my daily drinking at least 100oz of water. I’m mindfully eating.
My body said take care of the back, and I am. It’s part of taking care of my health.
I haven’t had to work, and I have been able to rest and do the heating pad. I will start walking more this weekend.
I had planned to start running again this week, but my body said no. So I do everything else I know to do to be healthy right where I am.
Taking care of my body, my spiritual life, maintaining healthy emotions.
Every day.

Goals
It was a better week.
I have gone to my preset goals of minimum of 10k steps a day, and goal of 15k steps a day. I also have my Apple Watch goals - closing my rings, as it were, of movement, exercise, and standing.
This month I’ve closed my movement ring every day, and I’ve closed all three rings most days. I had a great week of meeting my step goals. I went out walking three times this week.
It important to have goals, and be accountable to them. I have the Lose It! App, and I put everything I eat and drink in there. I have been below my calorie goal all week, and lost another 6 pounds. I am in a water challenge, and I have been drinking at least 90oz of water a day.
Fitbit challenges push me further with my steps, and I am on 2 of those this week. Overall I am pleased with my progress.
I’m going to start slowly running again - I have to take it easy and make sure I don’t get hypoglycemic. It is a fear that is holding me. It’s a real thing - since being put on insulin I can’t exercise as vigorously. I’m increasing my activity slowly so I can adjust and monitor my blood sugars.
One day at a time is the way I live, and I it keeps me focused, and motivated.
