Simple Status Update

Just a quick status update. Jan 25-31 I began feeling better and worked out 4x(20-45 min) during that week. Then came last week Feb 1-7 in which I did nothing whatsoever to exercise, not simply because I was lazy but because I kinda rebounded and am feeling really crappy again. So I will still be taking it week by week to see when I can incorporate physical activity. For now, I will still be focusing on the RESST acronym. Below is how I've been doing overall the past four weeks on each section:

R (rehydrate): good! each day I have been able to drink at least 2 liters of water (not to hard of a goal, I normally drink a lot of water anyways)
E (eat f/v): The majority of the days in the week I eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, I've been short apx. 1 days each week. The "eat less sugar" aspect of this intervention has been harder than I thought and I've been doing poorly in both tracking and eating less sugar if anything I've probably been consuming more sugar even though I'd really like to work on this :(
S (sleep): I've been sleeping at least 8 hours every night (w/ the exception of apx 1 night a week) but I want to set a new goal of going to bed earlier (11pm at the latest) and not just going to bed late and waking up later.
S (stay away from coffee/soda): nope haven't been doing this but I think my interventions to broad and I already have one "S" anyway so can I just get rid of this one? :)
T (take multi-vitamin/ B daily): check, missed only 4-5 days in past month

  1. I like your RESST plan... It's good to have you relatively healthy again!! Keep on exercising so the EBV stays away
