I managed a reasonable night’s sleep, although I’m a bit over this pattern of a restless hour and a half, get up for half an hour, and then settle in for two good blocks of around 2 to 2 1/2 hours each. I feel rested, but it would be good to hit the sack and just go to sleep. Resuming exercise may be key here, as with other adjustments sleep quality has improved.
Getting a good result on the scales put a bit of a spring in the step and I felt motivated to hit the gym this afternoon. My Garmin Smart Index Scales and my elderly Tanita scales are starting to line up, with the Tanita showing 74.0 kg @ 15% body fat (measured via electrical impedence) before going to bed, and the Garmin showing 73.5 kg @ 14.9% (“measured” via algorithm). My appearance seems to roughly line up with what you’d expect at that body fat percentage.
Hit the gym mid to late afternoon and got through my core, arms and back workout, which includes chest and a little shoulder. I still have a bit of work refining that routine, so I’ll have a think about that in the coming days.
Activities in the coming days are going to be weather dependent. After an eternity of drought, we’ve had about 80 mm of rain since 9 am (it’s current 8:45 pm) and solid rain forecast for the next week.
