Health journey update 3Q2024

[adric]

 
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 ...
