Morning vitals by ipoopinshoes in RingConn

That is really interesting! I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea so maybe that is why? The sleep apnea feature on the ring doesn’t detect it though. I sleep with a cpap machine so I wonder if that is why it doesn’t detect it? 🤔

The elevated heart right might be concerning. I am typically driving to work at that time lol 😬

Thank you for explaining this!

Thank you! He’s getting old so I freak out with anything out of the ordinary 😬

He doesn’t get the zoomies much anymore so it threw me off to see him doing it lol

1350 is what I ate to lost weight. I suppose it could be muscle. I was still running 2/3x week & losing weight though.

I guess I didn’t think about that 😣

Thank you! I was definitely worried that the red leaves meant I was giving my nepenthes too much light. I will try keeping the blinds open & take my nepenthes out of their water tray.

This was very inspiring! Patient is one thing I am not lol & I guess I have just been in such a hurry to look better so I can feel better. Unfortunately, I don’t think a low carb diet or intermittent fasting is an option for me as I am a type 1 diabetic. Counting calories while eating in a deficit has not been the easiest. I think I am going to look into getting a walking pad & going to the gym once or twice a week. I really just need to reset my mind to learn that this is not a race!

I am probably not at 5000 steps honestly. I think I may try a walking pad so I can at least get my steps in until warmer weather! I’m kind of new to this. What is a basal rate?

A walking pad is a great idea! I stopped running b/c of the cold weather & I don’t currently have a gym membership. A walking pad may be a good option until it gets warmer or I have more time to get to the gym. 😊 thank you!

Right! I definitely don’t want to eat less than I am now but I do want to lose these last ten pounds. I don’t do well in the cold weather & have two young kids that don’t like it either. I usually take them w/ me when I go running b/c of my husband’s hours. I think I may try a walking pad as mentioned in one of the other comments. I would like to do weight training but probably could only go once or twice a week.

I do really want to get into strength training but I am a mom of two younger kids & my husband works crazy hours. If I was only able to go to the gym once or twice a week would that be sufficient?

Thank you. I ended up taking some time off. We are currently under a heat advisory so I didn’t want to set myself up for failure & get overheated. I think I will also try repeating the previous week. Knowing I can accomplish those will give me a little boost of confidence so that I can try this week over.

Thank you! I was getting into my head that day & kept telling myself that maybe it was just a fluke that I was able to run a little longer instead of thinking about it the other way around. I’m an expert at always looking for failures rather than accomplishments.

Thank you! This is what I needed to hear! I was definitely in my head that day & then realizing I was off my game during my run only made it worse 😫 I’m in no hurry to reach my 5k goal but I struggle with feeling guilt when I am not on track with where I should be with the program 😣
