-Got my Monday 5k walk in early today because kids & Eric were off work/school and so I needed to make sure it got done even if it meant venturing out into the dark streets of Burlingame…was rewarded with a pretty sunrise tho.
-Eric accompanied me for a quick run to Costco so I can dedicate tomorrow morning to another 5k run attempt. He and I even had a short laptop date at the Marriott by the Bay to learn something.
-We signed up for Function Health lab testing today…hoping to take advantage of this new system venturing into Medicine 3.0 and actually get a more comprehensive snapshot of what our midlife baseline is. I think it’s good timing since early February we also have our next Dexascan…hopefully the last few months since October of mostly consistent weighted vest, and workouts has reaped some benefits.
-Thinking of trying to add Urolithin A as an experiment these next few months and see if that can improve mitochondrial health, maybe aid in muscle recovery (my right glute/hip/low back issue), improve my ferritin stores, and maybe more…going to delve into some of the podcasts this week again with Anurag Singh (doctor of Mitopure). I’ve definitely felt improvement taking the creatine and collagen regularly, however it’s also difficult to tell how much the weighted walking/exercise has impacted it all as well. Thinking of actively abstaining from alcohol these next few months as well – even though that seems to have already just been the case as is!
-I’m grateful the Nintendo Switch has given me a chance to spend time/reconnect with the kids on a different level again. They seem so independent and wanting to be in their own space/reading/drawing/listening to podcasts, that it’s getting harder to find common ground. I’m grateful for our time together on our hike yesterday…hoping we can get them out again next weekend!
-Eric finished my last 2 kitchen cabinet shelves! It looks more organized for sure and feels good to be making small progress. I will try to start seeing if I can strip the cabinet paint just a bit more and get it cleaned up entirely for the next steps…
-Lights out now…it’s so hard to wake up in the dark even with nearly 7-8 hours sleep. Who knew I’d be addicted to getting more sleep but I kind of am these days.
