A narrative of my journeys with diet, exercise, and various healthcare professionals
Last Wednesday, I woke to discover that I’d let my Fitbit battery drain completely overnight: my sleep data ended abruptly at 1:15am.
My Fitbit Charge 2 never quite recovered. Despite following all the instructions I found on all the knowledge bases and forums, the heart rate function remained borked.
Within two days, I found myself online with an AT&T sales rep, purchasing an Apple Watch (Series 5, 40mm).
This morning, Connor and I took a trip to the pediatrician for a well visit. It was the first time either of us had been out in public in the era of social distancing, so we donned our homemade cloth masks and forged ahead into the weirdness.
On one hand, it felt like a big deal, leaving the house for realsies for the first time since March. On the other hand, like Connor said: it’s just a doctor’s visit.
Once I return to working in the office next month, I’m going to have to get used to wearing a mask all day. After wearing one for just an hour, I can tell that this is going to be interesting….
My husband bought me a weighted bag for my birthday last month. Still trying to figure out the best time to make use of it, since sounds in the basement can echo through the whole house.
Didn’t feel like doing Krav Zoom class this evening. Did it anyway. Usually that feels like a good decision in the end, but today’s class was a surprise Fitness Challenge. Now my back hurts, my arms are shaky, and I feel nauseated.
I kept telling people that life was starting to feel like the opening chapters of a sci-fi novel. Schools closed, businesses closed, and “social distancing” becoming the new catch phrase. Shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer due to hoarding and panic.
This isn’t fiction. It’s reality. This was our local supermarket on March 15.
The days have gone by faster than I expected, and time has gotten away from me before I could properly blog/journal everything that’s going on. Luckily, i’ve been micro-journaling in the Exist app every night before bed, so I have a sort of timeline of the major takeaways of each day.
