What are the 400-year-old trees? Hope you get some decent hiking shoes soon.
You just posted while I was typing-
What a great sounding hike & well done on the weight-loss! WOOT!!!
 
Thanks!

(I don't remember the type of tree....seems like maybe oak)
 
No soreness today except in my ankle as expected but moving felt like I was in q jello balloon or something. Everything felt more difficult tan it should be and I was dizzy or 'faint' the first part of the day. Then I remembered to take potassium and I got better. Now I can't sleep and need to be up at 4am in 4 hours. Oy. But I got a lot done today. I'm hitting my macros now and the IF has gotten so much easier. I can't believe I did that hike yesterday wo much backlash. Too cool. I think a lot can be contributed to the poles.

I started a hiking/rafting club on meetup. Not sure what I'm doing but seems like a decent way to meet people. Who knows.
 
Sunset last night. The photo totally doesn't capture the beauty.

Didn't quite meet my steps yesterday but I was in the car 5 hours, like I will be today. Slept amazing last night.

Lower number on bp is still god awful high so headed into see a physician assistant. Yay.
 
PA said me doubling my bp meds was the correct thing. I'll continue what I'm doing and let her know if anything doesn't feel right or if my bp rises again. Really liked her. And she did an ekg. Did ypu know tgey can measure potassium with an ekg?

Don't have to drive to the city again until friday. I slept 10 hours laat night. Work was tough even the couple of hours I was there.

Lots to do tomorrow in between working. Tonight I'm scooping litter, putting up a few groceries and heading to bed.
 
Decided to attempt a small personal challenge of 2 miles a day for a range of days. Ultimate goal is 120 days consecutively. I will start off with shorter consecutive day goals and restart when I miss bc of health, energy, schedule.

I took Tristen and Jasmine out to check the mail in the stroller. I think the key is two at a time. They aren't as scared. I'll try Peri and Ella tomorrow.

Ordered my credenza today. It's several small components that combine to make a long buffet. I think it will work well...hopefully. Also considering a sofa and chair instead of a sectional. I hate sectionals but it just works in my space. But the sofa and chair is more versatile and I know i would be more comfortable if i were visiting and had a choice of seating locations. Not that I have visitors.

Discovered a few additions to the AT online community. Happy about that.

Under calories but macros are whacky today. Thought I had food in the refrigerator but I had already eaten it. Getting into the I don't feel like eating mode. Powering through.

Realized yesterday that the work I'm doing isn't what is overwhelming. It's all the interactions with all kunds of people. With my old duties I worked with 5 people all year. Now it is dozens, constantly. I don't do well with interpersonal relationships/communication. One reason I'm single. Call it being on spectrum, introverted, antisocial, whatever. But that's the issue. I've actually introduced some innovative saving ideas that are being elevated to the executives. Hopefully I can get a grasp on my issues. Spent half my life in avoidance. Guess it's a good time to move out of that.
 
The daily walking goal sounds like a great idea :)

Dealing with people can be overwhelming! It's good that you're introducing ideas at work and dealing with more people, but it's important to take time and recharge between! People are exhausting!
 
The condo closing got delayed after we sat there for 2.5hrs. My agent was livid. I'm just sad.

Met 5k steps. Think i will measure steps instead of distance. That equals to 2.3 miles. When i begin the challenge i will only count dedicated workouts, not general daily steps. That should leave me w 5 miles on most days.

So mote it be.

I drove to a trail called Piney Knob after ww meeting. My car couldn't make it up the gravel road to the trailhead so I walked the 3 mile path next to the river in town. It was nice but the paved/gravel trails are much harder on my ankle than dirt, even without inclines. Feels good to get that in. Well over my 5k steps and still have a bunch more walking to do. I'm going to a wild game dinner at a boy scout camp with the brother I have avoided for decades. Not sure how this will go but we're arriving separately so I am feeling okay.

Hoping to try out my bike tomorrow. I think my balance has been steady enough to give it a try.

Bought a vege bin for the kitchen today. Extra storage.
 
Walking on paved/gravel trails is much harder on our bodies. Well done getting the walk in. I'll be interested to hear how the dinner goes :)
 
The food was really good tonight. My brother and I struggled with topics of conversation but ended up hiked around the boy scout camp before dinner and I totaled 12,249 steps today. A record since I was in Paris two years ago this month. Hopefully it will become a Saturday norm.

I have scheduled a political rally in the city tomorrow but I may sleep in and clean the house. Feeling kinda good.
 
The day of rest yesterday worked. I was up and out the door before 4am this morning. My right leg is a little swollen today but I honestly think it is from not moving enough yesterday. And I slept well last night. I forget to do my stretches before getting out of bed. Trying to figure a way to remind me.

I probably won't get 5k steps in today because I wasn't allowed on campus today (expired parking decal) so I had to park outside the gate which is so much closer to my office. No quarter mile walk from the parking lot.

Still waiting to hear about the condo closing. I'm pissed and nervous.

But I found a person to do my bookshelves. She and I chatted for a long time.

Another 16 hours away from home. Oy. Ready now to fall into bed for the night.
 
20 hour day again but think I've held up pretty well. Closing delayed again. Still didn't get a contract out ive had since last Monday.

Long day but the views driving north today make everything worth living up here.

Intake sucked today but I've been on target for two weeks so I'm good with it. Still got lots of healthy food in....no candy or soda. Just more food than usual because of the long day and that I was unusually hungry early morning.

Time to rest.
 
Got off work at 6 and drove over to a local trail. Flat and easy. Ha! But I did 4.1 miles in 1 hour 50 minutes. Happy with that. Ankle is screaming. I spent an hour today looking for my brace. No idea where I put it. But otherwise I feel great. Gonna stretch and go to bed. Macros are whacked again but at least iate and under for the day.
