Nikina70's Journal, 07 June 2024

This week was not too bad, but also not that great, so improvement is needed. I had Wotsits for the last two nights and a large slice of carrot cake last night too. Snacking has been a bit uncontrollable so I think I will try to keep tracking calories this weekend rather than abandon it on Saturday.

Water intake was fairly good and step count so far is an average of 8200 steps. Last week only ended up on 6500, which is not that great. Thankfully we have walks scheduled on Sat and Sun and I'll be walking to work (for the third time) this evening. I've also consciously been trying to up my steps at work and taking more stairs whenever possible.

Thankfully when I saw the GP a while ago she said I don't need blood pressure meds right now, but said I would need some in the future, so I'm not completely out of the woods. Will get an ECG and blood tests next week and I've asked to check my thyroid function too so hope that's all fine.

This week randomly someone at work has Covid and they're still making her come in while wearing a mask. It's suddenly made me so paranoid and overanalysing how cold I've felt this week and the few fleeting headaches I've had and a runny nose I know is due to hayfever.

Anyhoo, next week I'll aim for below 68kg again and try to keep the trend going for a while. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! x
