I haven’t worn my FitBit since October. My movement has been extremely limited with many days I’m sure would have been under 1000 steps… It has been a long and difficult last 6 months – completely not COVID related.

I have had so much trouble with autoimmune inflammation and neuropathy… My feet and hands are either completely numb or on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ or spasming… It hurts to stand, to walk and I have been having breathing and BP issues… It’s been rough…

But yesterday I started on a micro goal.

Yes, micro… Not mini, not major, not Milestone… Just a micro…

Walk to my mailbox ๐Ÿ“ฌ and back once a day. It may sound stupid and it isn’t all that far but it is on an incline and by the time I get back, I am generally winded, my heart rate is between 120-150, my feet feel like I have been walking on broken glass and if it’s hot/muggy out, I generally have breathing issues.

Why do I say all this?

Because despite all this – I WILL walk to my mailbox everyday. My step ๐Ÿฉด๐Ÿฉด goal is 2500. Tiny for most people but for me, that is more than double what I have done on some days…

I need definable – โœ… – 2500 steps / mailbox
I need achievable – โœ… – it is possible on all but the worst days
I need accountable – โœ… – YouTube/Insta/FB
I need sustainable – โœ… – realistic expectations that push me but are not so much that I can’t continue to make progress.

Today I finished my day walking little laps in my gravel drive loop while burning boxes (I live rurally and we take our trash to the landfill and many people have burn barrels for cardboard etc)…

I don’t think I’ve seen 4000 steps in a very very long time.

MEAL HIGHLIGHTS
๐ŸŽ High Point Meals – Since I generally only eat two meals/day, and don’t generally snack, I eat a little differently than most people on this plan. Points may be higher than you are used to seeing. I do not use sugar free, fat free, artificially sweetened or highly processed foods as a general rule (FF yogurt is an exception) as they flare up my autoimmune issues.

My goal is not to have as low point meals as possible…I am developing a sustainable, lifelong way of eating and changing my relationship with food forever… I eat everything on WW ๐Ÿ’œ PURPLE… #eattherainbow

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ As part of my Autoimmune issues, my sense of taste has changed greatly… I need stronger seasonings to taste them – so like with any recipe – develop your own tastes… Omit things, substitute things, add flavors – fear not the #experimentsineating – you never know when you’ll find something incredible!

๐Ÿญ Reducing Points – If you choose to use sugar free/fat free products, your points may be significantly less in certain recipes.

I’m not telling anyone to eat any certain way… Just sharing steps on my own Wellness Adventure….
