Doing a bit of a check-in against my original pledge. I'm definitely feeling better for more exercise & generally more positive than I have in a long while so glad I'm still working on the little targets although not sure I will have 'sorted my life out' in the next week!
Daily yoga: not every day but am now doing class one evening plus 3 or 4 shorter sessions at home and feeling far less stiff and immobile.
Weekly exercise class: done 2 weeks now of a beginner's strength training class which I'm hoping will inspire to do more.
Daily walk: Yes plus on week 3 of doing Couch2 5k
Lose 5 lbs: 3lb down happy with that just need to stop evening snacking!
Socialise once a week: This has been a real positive move - went to the cinema one night, DH & I went for an evening dog walk via the pub another, met up with some mum friends. Just making a conscious effort to get out each week.
Sort HRT - new regime is suiting me much better so fingers crossed this holds.
Take Daily iron and vitamins - Yes although no idea if they're doing any good!
Pelvic floor: working on it! A long way off where it should be (& I swear it took me a week to actually find the bloody muscles!) but now in good habit of doing few sets first & last thing. Plus more sex definitely helps pelvic floor & mood!
How are you all doing? Any other things you can recommend to lift your mood and sort your life out? I might start painting my nails again & getting my eyebrows done professionally. I do think it's these little things that got dropped in lockdown/when I started wfh that have contributed to my general lack of zing & feeling good about myself and disinterest in going out as I'm just less 'face the world' ready. Anyone else relate to this?
