Here's where today's energy went: The outside-work part of my job where I do a ton of walking - Daily Walk 10 (though today was the half day version)
It was over 90°F today, so I'm hydrating. I have had to have the thinks- I will have a full outside-work day again tomorrow and then two more next week. I will feel wiped out after all of these. I will not beat myself up over this, even as my best laid plans are laid to waste.

* After next week, things will really calm back down and I will resume my 5-minute elbow plank after next Thursday. I will develop a plan for that at that point (spoiler - I will be evaluating and nerfing my progress because I need that dopamine hit of reaching the milestones again. And that's okay!)
* Program progress will be at my discretion until after next weekend (since I believe that might be the weekend where we go to the coast - I'll get plenty of walking then too!) I think that I will aim for maybe one on Thursday-Sunday (Saturday might be weird) this week/weekend.
* Workout time needs to be properly reestablished to when I get home - I got off track at some point and while its been kinda nice, I feel like I have lost an aspect of control here.
* I think I am going to introduce two easy challenges in the interim - little snacks of activity that I can do whenever I feel like it. See if that helps.

So for the remainder of my evening:

Migraine was still lingering, just at persistent and annoying levels today. Despite this, I felt fairly productive at work. But now, I just feel exhausted. Upside, I finally did the thing and made an appointment with an actual primary care physician.

~~Healthy foods~~ Nope - treat day. Sub platter for lunch and dinner. Didn't overeat and didn't snack hardly at all in the car ride.

Daily Walk 13 - spent a lot of time outside and this is counting from the grocery store walk. Yup, it was a win, considering the low activity today. (And yet my FitBit says I've gotten 10k today.)
Burrito Mode

Spent a lot of time in the car today, but it was worth it. We got to see my aunt and grandma today from out of town and we all had lunch together at my sister's house. This will probably be the last time that she comes to my state, so I will need to plan a trip up her way some time soonish. But I am glad that we got to spend so much time together, not only with them, but as siblings and with the nephews and my dad. It was really nice.

Best laid plans and all that. Morning was lost to D&D, which is unusual (and I'm not really upset about), but we were adapting to the DM's schedule. My druid character died, so that was sad, but now I get to play this new paladin character that I am really excited about. She's not going to be the best paladin ever, but she is going to be very sincere in her attempts. But that is because when I designed this character, I left a note that she is to interpret things very literally and to "think like Drax"...

... There is a part of me that thinks that she might be better off as a barbarian, but I have until next session to fully set her class.

But morning D&D threw off my mojo. I have had low energy the rest of the day and I barely exercised because I was getting sleepy while meal prepping after dinner (instead of right before D&D). In fact, it was barely 7 and I was getting really tired. :sad:

Oh well, so yeah, I think I am now going to go to bed early tonight and see if I can be less tired tomorrow. :zzz:

It has been a day! I did field work today, but it was a short, half day version. Then I left work early to go get the next vaccine in the series they have me doing. So my arm hurts a little. But then I came home and there was a package from my pen pal in Germany!! It was filled with so many goodies. I haven't had any yet, but I am looking forward to sampling them all. There was one item that got a little melty from being in the heat, but not bad considering it was 96°F today. Then I was on an emotional high, so I jumped right into the workout without stretching. Whoops! Now I am off to finish my dinner and drink a bunch of water.

I think I surprised myself by doing Combat HIIT today. It wasn't in the plan, but I wanted to do it. Works out for me, since my right foot has been a little painful and stiff today. Now, I am exhausted again, but that's okay. I used a lot of energy today.

Daily Walk 16

Yup, only win this day was the sheer amount of walking and hills and going up and down stairs (which I am unaccustomed to due to lack of stairs where I live). And honestly, it was killing me. My calves were so tired and my feet so very sore. Had a good dinner for the first night on our trip, so that was at least a plus.

Again, I am counting walking again because there were (a) hills & stairs, (b) a huge Farmer's Market, (c) sand on the beach, and (d) because now my shins & right knee decided to join the I-am-sore party. Despite the soreness, it was a good day.

Glutes, Quads, Hamstrings, & Calves

I had a decent weekend, full of adventures, but I am glad to be home. Too much lack of planning (breakfast, activities, communication plan) caused a lot of boredom and strife. Inconsistent meals led to me snacking a lot. Thankfully, I had the wisdom to pack some freeze dried fruit and some jerky, though I did not stay out of the potato chips as well as I should have. (Yay, easily portable fruit!) Also, just saying, as a non-vape using individual with a sensitive nose, I really appreciate people who don't do it inside of buildings.

My legs are so done right now. My knee is irritated, my calves are actively sore and swollen. My ankles are stiff, but I think my Achilles on right foot has calmed down. I took those calf raises really slowly and it was only my calves complaining. I am super exhausted and I am really glad that M had the forethought to suggest that we take tomorrow off. So, tonight's main focus is hydrating and light stretching. I'm thinking that tomorrow I'll do some more stretching, and some arms and/or core.

But I am glad to be back here and I am glad I went because I got to see the ocean and have time with friends.
