Good Afternoon and Happy Saturday!
I went for a walk today to earn a special award for National Park Day. I needed to log a 1.6 km walk to earn my award. It was a beautiful day with cool temps and sunshine and perfect conditions for getting in some activity.
It was a surprise to also earn my August Apple Watch Activity Challenge Award.
This took work and was by far the hardest goal I have had thus far. It was rough. The silver lining is that I completed it! I logged 1,490 exercise minutes this month and some days I did extra activity to try and ensure I stayed ahead of the goal and gave myself the best chance to complete it. I am thrilled to have completed it a few days early.
This August goal lit a fire under me and I’m committed to four more days of 30 minutes of activity so I will have completed a perfect month of closing all three Apple Watch Goals: Movement, Exercise, and Stand. I didn’t set out to earn a perfect month but I am so glad I stayed the course and will soon close out August feeling very successful.
I had my annual appointment with the thyroid doctor. I really love him and enjoy seeing him each year. I keep telling him I’ll be under 200 pounds when I see him the following year and yet…it continues to elude me. DOH! Once again, I was not under 200 on the doctor scale. I was really bummed out and am working to process those feeling. It also makes me really nervous for my weigh-in on Tuesday. I was thinking my gain from last week would drop off but now, I am just not sure. It is frustrating and I am clinging to the positives as I wait for Tuesday.
Regardless of what the scale number says on Tuesday, that is the end of August and means I have completed 31 days of mindful activity and 11 days of earning blue dots. I already feel successful and I still have four days to go!
