What is your go-to workout?

Since September 1st or so I’ve only missed about 10 classes in Jiu Jitsu, out of 130 or so possible. Not bad for an old fart. (Mid-life crisis perhaps) There’s something about it that just clicked with me. (I did do Judo for about 4 years but this is way more fun) This morning I rolled with my SIL who’s tough as $hi+. I tried using some OMS on him but dang! (Old Man Strength) Lol.

 

@Alanaana congrats on keeping going, sometimes the hardest part is just getting started!

I'm still walking/running every morning. It's getting better with the nice weather in the mornings lately (mid 60'sF). I have about 4 days to go to meet my goal of 30 days of 10k steps per day. I tried this once before but stopped after 2 weeks when I was just too exhausted to move. I pushed through that this time, feeling better every day. I do find that I'm ready for bed earlier in the evening, and I listen to my body and go to bed. I find if I try to stay up until my 'normal' bed time, I am really tired the next day.

 

Is it worth it? Yup. Lol.

 

I am sorry to hear of your trials over Mother's Day. I can understand some of what you are dealing with. With me it was my father. Still dealing with issues from that relationship, even after his death.

 

@Alanaana sorry to hear about the problems with the family, but I can relate with my family (probably why I moved from MN to TN LOL).
One more day to reach my 30 day step goal of 10k per day. Still have about 800 steps for today, but I'll get that done before lunch! I did manage a 10k run in on Saturday, followed by a 10k walk on Sunday.

Last Friday I had an annual checkup with my endocrinologist. During the visit I asked if I could get a CGM so I can better track my metabolic health, I wasn't sure what to expect. After the triage by the nurse when the Dr came, to my surprise she put a trial box of the cgm on the table and said she would write a 6 month script for it. Cool, started using it Friday afternoon and it's been interesting to see how my blood sugar changes throughout the day.
With the change in my diet, exercising and weight loss it really has changed how much I can alcohol I can drink. With the CGM I think I also found out why I crave food when drinking. My blood sugar drops like a rock when I consume alcohol. Friday night we were watching a movie and I had my drink, next thing I know my phone is beeping at me. BS dropped below 70. I felt fine (well, at least buzzed a bit), but I was starting to get the munchies just before the alarm.
It's been interesting to check my BS every 30 min after eating for 2 hours. I'm going to be checking my levels after I eat different foods to see how they effect my BS.

 

I haven’t heard of anyone getting covid in a long time!
