Health & Fitness Goals for January

Tweet

How's it going? It's been a busy couple of weeks and I haven't popped on lately but I need to. Health / fitness goals for January have been going well: +Running 1 mile per day on a treadmill (jogging at a 14 minute mile) +Counting & Restricting calories - It had to be done, I've gained a bunch of weight from not smoking and not caring enough to do anything about it. I am starting out slow, around 1,700 calories per day and really focusing on cutting out mindless eating and junk...I've lost about 3 pounds, which is OK. Later on I'll probably play around with it and restrict more, or do "zig zag" calorie restriction to keep my metabolism on it's toes. I would eventually like to try a vegetarian keto diet too, just to see what all the rave is about. +Still not smoking cigs (it will be ONE year on 1/29/21! INSANE) +NO BEER! But low calorie seltzer & Captain Diets are OK. I am enjoying light alcohol selzters. Lots is happening in my world this week though - work schedule is about to change dramatically - I am two tests away from being certified and "graduated" from the firefighting academy but have 3-4 classes and tests between now and then. I will be getting together with a friend on the weekend, I hope to do a few Shipt orders for some cash (I have NOT been doing any, and could of course use the extra cash!), and I hope to take a "ME" day on Sunday and get a hotel somewhere, take a day trip by myself - maybe go to a state park and use a comped casino hotel as it's just been a helluva couple of months and I just need to get away for about 24 hours. How is everyone's week going? How are your goals going - health - financial - fitness - etc? Hope all is well! And the pic, if it loads, is from earlier today when I took a quick, brisk and snowy walk around a park on the Mississippi river.
