I am giving myself credit for making my steps this week. My fitbit updated on Friday and it totally screwed everything up. It just got stuck; couldn't sync, it wasn't counting steps. Finally got it working again on Sunday, after uninstalling and re-installing the app. So just ignore my Friday and Saturday steps. The update included sleep stages, so you can see about how much time you spend in light sleep, REM, and deep sleep, and compare it to the average for women your age. Apparently while I'm aveage in the amount of time I spend awake and in REM and light sleep, I'm really low in deep sleep. I'm wondering if that's why I feel tired fairly often. I'm not sure how to fix that yet, but I might try a couple things, like turning off my husband's fan. Any other suggestions?

I made my step goal for the week and I'm thrilled that it's almost spring. I did skip the 5K I was going to do on Saturday. My husband helped convince me that the weather was going to be miserable. Turned out I could have gone and he felt a bit guilty so now he's redoing the upstairs bathroom. I'm not sure how that all worked out, but I think it'll look nice when it's done.   This week: Thursday - Elliptical, Weights (My husband taught me how to use a couple of the machines at the gym I've been a little afraid of.) Sunday - Walk with the dog Monday - Walk with the dog, Pilates Meal plan: "Angry Dragon Noodles" Naan pizza with artichoke hearts and onion Onion-crusted chicken with green beans Pork tenderloin with carrots Fried chicken and grits Four of those meals are going to be from Home Chef, which I am really pleased with so far.

I did not make my step goal this week, but I was close. I'll tell you though, between my allergies and the time change, it's been a little rough around here.   This week: Wednesday - Pilates Thursday - Elliptical Sunday - Walk with the dog Monday - Walk with the dog Meal plan: This week: Dinners: spaghetti, chicken fettucine alfredo, shrimp tacos, pork chops, veggie noodle stir fry, grilled cheese and tomato soup. Four of those meals are going to be from Home Chef, which I've decided to give a try.
