adric | Health journey update 3Q2024

Clearing out a queue of health updates as summer scorches into autumn ...

Balance is slowly improving and I have added some extra movement to some stretches
Have lots of great equipment at home now, struggling to make good use of all of it in a week
Sleeping late is one of the biggest challenges to getting daily exercises done first thing
- Stretch / exercise before lunch works pretty well when I can do it
Breakfast continues to be an open question, but a few days of having breakfast and not having any lunch until the early afternoon seemed to work quite well ... that's a strong vote for breakfast, because it won't work without some oatmeal or something first thing in the morning
Weight fluctuates / doesn't go down like I want, but is actually quite stable over time these months
- Other measures (body fat, tape) are unreliable overall but sometimes suggest improvements
- Sizes also seem pretty stable, and I'm trying on new sizes and styles of clothes
Flipped through another, much better aerial yoga (thothil) book, but need other resources to find the exercises I want
- Probably going to have to sift through more YouTube videos
(x-post) I started back up strength training following TLS 4.0 more closely.
- Learning new exercises and making four sessions a week are the challenges so far ...
- Managed 4 sessions first week, technically (Sunday end of week?)
- Tracking in app but also scribbling in the One Year Challenge book feels good.
Getting compliments and positive remarks about muscle development from family
- Trying to see it and believe it myself ...
