Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 5, February 3, 2020

Weekly Weigh In will go live every Monday, and it will share how I'm doing health-wise, and it will give me more accountability with my health.

Here is my fifth weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, February 3, 2020.  

2. Weight: My weight went down 2 lbs.  I am so glad!  I hope this weigh loss trend continues.  Wish me luck!

3. Health News: I averaged just over 5,300 steps per day last week, so I didn't reach my goal.  I am hoping to get my 6,000 steps per day average this week, but we'll see.  I'll at least do the best I can.

I was not able to do any of the toning/strength exercises last week, though I did get out and walk when I could.  Not my best week with regards to exercise, but that should change this week as we are to have nicer weather as far as precipitation goes, though it is supposed to be colder.  We'll see what happens! 

My insomnia was in full force this last week and were still bothering me last night.  I am grateful that my migraines have mainly stayed at bay, though!  I have made better dietary choices overall, but still not 100% the best, so that may have a little to do with it.  I am thinking not getting enough exercise also played into things.  Here's hoping I can turn it around this week!

4. Diet News:  I definitely made some better choices (for me) this week.  I still have a ways to go, but definitely on the right track overall. :)  I am still working on eating foods that are more natural/less processed.  I definitely feel better when I follow this line of thinking!

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For 4 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He has basically made no changes, and he has good (and I don't mean symptom-free, just more mild symptoms) days and bad days.  If you'd like a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, just a normal school week for now with a very busy weekend planned.  February in general will be a bit busier, so we should not be bored!  I am also working on finalizing graduation/open house plans for my oldest, so that's another element of crazy added to the to-do list.  I can definitely say that I am grateful for busy, but it does wear on the body and soul at times.  I guess we will all appreciate the summer break that much more when it gets here. :)

I am still planning on doing some blog updates as I can, but who knows how long those will take as I am squeezing those in as I have time (which isn't a lot recently).

How are you doing?  Do you have anything you want to weigh in with?  Any health progress or goals you want to share?  If so, please leave a comment below (with a link to your post, if you have one and wish to leave it), and I'll respond ASAP.

Have a great week!
