As I sit here typing while riding my stationary bike, I started thinking about certain things I do daily. Until a few months ago, hopping on my exercise bike for an hour was the first thing I did upon awakening. However, now that’s not always the case. In fact, there were a few weeks where I did not get on the exercise bike at all. This is a first for me since riding the bike every day was something that I did upon receiving the bike in May. During the week, my workday routine hasn’t changed. I’m still packing my lunch and water daily.
I consume water daily, that hasn’t changed in fact it’s increased, and now, some of those daily sips of water are carbonated. I’m really loving Drinkmate and will have to write a thorough review once I’ve used it for a few months. Although I can carbonate anything, what I carbonate most is water!
On weekends I typically make food in bulk, so if I don’t feel like preparing meals, I have to look in our deep freezer and choose what I want, heat and prepare. It’s also when I tend to do more modules with my online class. Weekends are also when I tend to focus on knitting or sewing, although the last several weeks, I haven’t done much of either. However, this weekend, I do believe I will focus on knitting. Since I started a pair of socks, using a modified by my pattern, I would like to finish within the next few weeks.
The exercise part of my routine is almost the last thing that I do. I tend to snack in the evening and, by walking a couple of hours in after supper, my craving seems to be reduced.It’s not always successful, though.
I was hopping on the bike shortly after I arrived home in the evening in addition to the morning. I then just rode in the morning, since I found myself doing a lot in the three hours before bedtime. I rarely snack in the evenings. Upon arriving home, I do drink carbonated water or herbal tea! However, I stop at least 1.5 hours before bedtime.
These days, I’m actually sleeping 7+ hours nightly. That’s something I rarely did. I was sleeping three-four hours nightly. It took a long time to build up to where I am now, no complaints! Tomorrow, I’m taking my dad to get his first round of the COVID vaccination. My weekends tend to be busier than my work week, and I stay busy at work.
