A Week in My Life – Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023

For work, Wednesdays are a combo of in-person appts & computer work.

I often take this day as a Rest Day because Tues’ are when I do my longer run.  But, since I made yesterday a Rest Day, I was ready to exercise…and my Oura data backed that up.  We planned a “walk to dinner” as a way to get our workout in.

On the nutrition front, Wed’s focus is twofold:  an Intermittent Fast & Very Low-Carb.  Although the low-carb part makes things a bit tricky at restaurants, BBQ places are always a pretty good go-to…so that’s where we went!

One more thing on walking to dinner.  I find that I sleep amazingly well on those nights.  There’s something about getting a bit of exercise before AND after I eat that really improves my sleep!  If you haven’t tried this…I highly recommend it!
