Good Intentions Again

Good Intentions Again

Always so much to get done!

I’ve got my good intentions again. But they don’t always bring about the desired results.

I typically plan for some off-bike exercises five days a week. They aren’t long sessions; and I certainly don’t go for HIIT-style workouts! But I need my off-bike exercises to keep my core and upper body more or less toned. For the past few months, though, I’ve been too busy with web work to do them regularly; and when I do them, I can tell that I’ve lost conditioning.

I use small hand weights for some of the exercises; and some moves are body-weight style.

An alternative to having lots of equipment taking up space.

Maybe one of these days I’ll get some resistance bands. They need little storage space.

Versatile bands for use in many exercise programs

It’s back to good intentions for my diet; but such plans don’t always get proper eating very far. When I’m embroiled in web site work, meal preparation is usually the first thing to fall by the wayside; and that’s very unfortunate. It can’t be doing my A1c levels any good.

Soups, salads, and more!

I try to cook ahead on weekends. But for the time being, I have too few food storage containers and too little freezer space to prepare any more stuff.

I hope good intentions keep me from bring home a big load from the salvage store tomorrow. I plan to leave the trailer at home; and that should help. My look-for list is very short this time; but no matter how short the list, I usually see something that I can get to store away until later. That stock-up-while-you-can mentality can be quite a burden!
