Anti-Procrastination Tuesday Weekly Plan

BACK TO SCHOOL

My 8th grader Avery went back yesterday, and Colsie (10th grade) & Teagan (11th grade) go back today. I have mixed emotions about the quiet house and extra work time. I am excited about plans for this blog, and have quite a bit of work I’d like to do on our home now that I won’t have 3 teens in the way! I WILL miss them. They are so grown up and have changed so much, even just over the summer. Oh how I love my girls!

FALL WORKOUTS

Something that I am planning on hitting hard is this fall increasing my workouts. The only exercise I’ve done this summer is walking, paying attention to how many steps a day that I get, and doing a bit of stretching. It has been fascinating to see which days I get close to 10,000 steps and how few steps I get on days that I sit to write posts and do administrative work for New Nostalgia. I need to get my heart rate up and do some strength training, so I’m going to be taking advantage of fall routine to focus in on health.

Another reason why I am so motivated to exercise is because the cancer medications I am on are definitely causing weight gain. It is the first time in my life that I have had to even think about weight, so I have been pretty spoiled these 40 years, but right now my clothes are not fitting! I know that extra weight is health hazard for me, as excess weight means extra estrogen, and my cancer is fed by hormones, so keeping a healthy weight is very important as a cancer survivor.
