🧠 Reflection This week was a bit of a modified week for me because I dedicated time to hang out with my bestie, who's had a newborn, to help with that lovely transition and get some newborn snuggles. I know Mother's Day can be a day that brings a spectrum of emotions... people remembering their mothers, mourning, joy, love, eishing for motherhood and everything in between. So, for those who are having a heavy day I'm keeping extra space for you in my heart today. May today be a day where we honor ourselves. 🌿 My Learning Reflecting on my "good-better-best" days, I was really anchored on more movement. I've had a lot more lovely walks this week, which has been truly cup-filling. ✅ Good / Better / Best Goals I want to continue anchoring on my daily movement... not intentiinal exercise per se, just the everyday movenebt between intention excersice. Since much of my workday happens behind a computer, I need to be intentional about non-exercise movement and pay attention to it. I'll make this my "good-better-best" goal and have been working on getting the tech I have to track it better. Good: Explore baselines, get curious, and reflect on what influences my activity. Better: Achieve 5,000 steps every day. Best: Reach 7,000 steps most days, aiming for 7,000 steps. 🎯 Intentions for This Week → Anchor on daily movement → Pay attention to non-exercise movement throughout the workday → Get the tracking tech dialed in → Keep the walks going

What clicked this week? What felt a little easier, a little clearer, a little more like something you could actually sustain? ​ 👇 Tell me one win from your week... health-related or completely not. I'm reading every single one.

​So my Sunday shift last week was to track and observe my baseline steps. That was good. Better was to take an intentional gentle walk during the workday. Best was to do a walk at about a 6 out of 10 intensity. ​ I can say that I'm observing my week retroactively, but my step tracker wasn't actually juiced up because I was distracted by the Oura ring. I didn't notice until now that it was dead oopsies, so the objective data isn't the best. ​ Still, I don't think I need numbers. I know I went for a walk with a friend and had some adventures with the kids that involved walking, but most of the time I was hyper-focused on a project at a desk. That was a sedentary pull in daily steps ​ 🧘 The Quiet Win ​ My good goal was simply to track and observe, which is gentle and exactly what I needed in this heavy-project mode. I'm glad I'm still forced to reflect because my walking steps are really subpar during this project. ​ 💡 The Aha ​ Since I'm on a computer-heavy day, I have an amazing walking pad that I love. That's what I love about the Sunday shift... it's a quick "aha." It's not like three months go by. After a week I wonder why I didn't use the walking pad. ​ I feel better on my computer days with walking pad, but I have no good reason for not using it. I think I just folded it up and leaned it against the wall, so it wasn't in the right location. Now I'm unfolding it and placing it under my desk. ​ 🎯 This Week (same goal) ​ 1. Good: Track and observe my daily movement outside of structured exercise. 2. Better: Take an intentional gentle walk during the workday. 3. Best: Do a walk at about a 6 out of 10 intensity. ​ Some of my walks this week were a 6 out of 10 intensity for sure, just not every day. I'll see how my walking pad influences my movement.

Hehe. My kids are dressed for the occasion. Check out my living room carpet. One of my better fathers day gifts. What do you see?
