Final update
Repeat goals
1) Sleep - bring average sleep time up to >7 hrs/night (current 4 week average is ~ 6 hrs 35 minutes, widely variable from night to night) -
Week 1, 6 hr 5 min.
Week 2 6 hr 40 minutes, getting better.
Week 3, 6 hr 53 minutes
Week 4, 6 hr 43 minutes, but trending better overall
2) Exercise - spin, lift, or run 3x/week. Try to increase dead lift max to 220 lbs (currently at 200 x 5-ish, lacking in grip strength) -
Week 1 - 5/3 exercise sessions, DL at 205.
Week 2 - lifted 3 days, another set of DL at 205
Week 3 - lifted 3 days, got to 210 x 5 for DL with no straps
Week 4 - lifted 3 days, DL 220 for 1 with straps! I definitely need some deload time to build more strength, I almost died
3) Food - track all the food, stay at or under calorie goal daily - I'll also settle for weekly average, but daily is better. Reassess calorie goal at the end of the month vs weight. -
Week 1 - Tracked 7/7 days, over by ~9% for the week.
Week 2 - Tracked 7/7/days, 7 calories over goal average.
Week 3 - tracked 7/7 days, under by 75 calories
Week 4 - tracked 7/7 days, under by 65 calories
4) Mental health - yoga 3 days/week. -
Week 1 - 3/3.
Week 2 - 4/3
Week 3 - 5 or 6 days of yoga this week
Week 4 - 5 days of yoga
5) Figure out what I need to do to get a will written -
Week 4 - nope, but I need to! I'm paying for legal coverage through my insurance, can't waste that $20/mo!
New goals
6) Keep up on my book club for The New Jim Crow - read prologue and Chapter 1 before 8/11. -
Chapter 1 finished.
Chapter 2 finished by 8/25.
Newest goal - volunteered to moderate next Tuesday, read ahead of time!
7) Practice my Spanish 6 days/week on DuoLingo. -
Week 1 - 7/6
Week 2 - 5/6
Week 3 - 6/6
Week 4 - 7/7
8) Refinance our house if we can get the insanely low rate that our mortgage broker quoted us (a full percent lower than our current mortgage, which would save us almost $200/mo even rolling refinancing fees into the existing balance).
Still waiting on underwriting, but in progress. It's been over 3 weeks since we send in our paperwork, which I don't love, but our broker says everything is fine
9) Don't gain any weight -
Success! Hit two days in the next lowest 10s group this week, continuing downward trend.
