Week Two
Week Two of my 12-week program went okay. I tracked my progress, while having to handle some extra stress. I had gotten my lab tests done, which was good to have during the first part of this 12-week program. My lab numbers were pretty good. My sugars were in the 80’s, which is good. My cholesterol was a little high, but I feel that with my adding more and more exercise to my weekly goals, this will get better.
For the extra stress, I am upping my time in meditation, slowing down, and using the breathing technique that tells the body that you are safe, which is exhaling twice as long as inhaling. My sleep is getting better. I want to add this to my tracking so I remain mindful of it.
Even with the extra stress, I stayed on my diet and exercise program. Tracking it all has been very helpful. I lost two pounds this week.
I’ll check back in with all of you next week. I’m adding more exercise this week.
