Weight has remained the same. I understand why. I was following the plan until the weekend, then I went off plan.

*le sigh*

This week, I’m going to try fasting for one day, see if I can get better about the plan. For me, that means eating breakfast one day, then not eating until breakfast the next day.

There have been times when fasting has been fabulous. I get that extra energy and clarity that people talk about. Other times…not so much. I mainly am hungry and have a headache that keeps getting worse.

This time, I plan on supplementing not just with lots of water and salt, but also adding in some potassium and magnesium, basically, all the electrolytes. We’ll see if that helps in regard to the headache. As for the being hungry, well, I can deal with that for a day.

I took a few days off from writing after I finished the marathon on Monday. I had thought I’d jump right back in. That isn’t to say that I didn’t write every day. I did. But it was mainly non-fiction, Medium articles, blog posts, etc. Eventually, I got back to the fiction.

I did a lot of walking last week. Managed 7.5K steps per day. Knee is a little sore and cranky today. Am taking today “off” as it were, not walking so much.

I did manage to get through email every day, but all I did on some days was to look at it, not always replying. I need to get on that this afternoon.

I was pretty physically active this weekend, more so than I’ve been in a while. I’m not out of shape, per se, but I’m not in as good of a shape as I once was. I’m taking it easy today, and won’t get back to it all until tomorrow. But I think being more physically active, or at least as active as I can be with my knee, is a good thing.

I had thought I was already doing a lot. But honestly, I’m not. Not as much as I used to. Time to ramp it back up. It’s summer. There are things I need to do, things I can do, regardless of the shape of my knee.

I had really hoped to go to the library this afternoon to work. However, they’ve changed their hours, and are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Won’t open until 1 PM on Tuesday.

Still, I’m looking forward to being able to work in a library again. Though we’ll see how I feel once I’m there. I may end up just working in the parking lot, as I did last year. However, it will still be better, because I’ll be able to go inside the library and use their bathroom!

In addition, I’m going out to dinner with a friend tonight. We’re only eating in outdoor venues, and we’re being careful. It’s still lovely.

Slowly, very slowly, I’m starting to add back in some of the things I started skipping last year. Things are back to “normal” as it were. Possibly never will be. But I am venturing out more. Feels weird, and I don’t know what to do or how to act. I’m still pretty feral. Getting out a little is good.

What activities have you picked back up? What are you looking forward to doing?
