Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 7, February 17, 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 seventh weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, February 17, 2020.  

2. Weight: My weight stayed the same.  Here's hoping I will have a weight loss to report next week!

3. Health News: I averaged just over 6,300 steps per day last week.  I am hoping to get at least my 6,000 steps per day average this week, but we'll see.  The weather is supposed to cooperate (other than tomorrow), so I'm hopeful!  I'll at least do the best I can.

I'm trying to decide what to do with the toning and strengthening exercises.  I have not been able to find a way to fit them in just yet that works for me.  I am going to keep trying to add them in, but I am not going to worry too much about it as long as I'm able to get some form of daily exercise.  We'll see how it goes.

Migraines, insomnia, restless legs - all are still hanging around.  I also am dealing with some sort of stomach issue which I suspect is somewhat linked to the migraines.  I'm being very cautious about dietary choices, and that seems to help a little, so we'll see how it goes.  Hopefully it will pass and I'll be right as rain next week! :)

4. Diet News:  Due to the stomach issues, I've had to be very cautious about what I eat, as I explained before.  I've had to eat more carb based than I like, but I am trying to eat the carbs that are better for me.  I think that's why I haven't gained any weight.  I'm slowly working more protein back into my diet, and so far so good.  Hopefully I'll be able to eat the best way for me by the weekend. 

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For about 4 1/2 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He has basically made no real 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, it is going to be crazy busy, but a good busy.  I'm pretty sure I won't have much time do anything online before the end of the week, so the updates I've been planning will have to be on hold again.  I'm still working on things here and there, just not as much as I'd wanted to.  I have a feeling those things will end up being a summer thing.

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!
