Saturday 10-7 šŸ‘» checkin

Hey there all you lovelies…. Good your time of day to you. Here in the UK I’m nearly at 12 noon.

What’s going on in your world of fitness and health? I went for a relaxing 5k run in the drizzling rain, through puddles and along muddy paths, so perfect #workoutcomplete for me! Is yours a #workoutcomplete today? Or a #restdaycomplete? Or maybe even a #nothingnesscomplete?

What’s going on in your world of food today? My lunch will be leftover leek tarte tatin, and dinner is BBQ, laid on by the rangers for the countryside volunteers. I hope the rain will stop before then!!! Are you doing a #leftovercomplete today? Or #BBQcomplete today? Maybe even a #deliciousdinnercomplete? And that delicious dinner could be anything really from a peanut butter sandwich to a posh one Michelin star dinner….

Right: Saturday topic….

I am getting obsessed 😱 Last year my son wanted to give me a fitness tracker for my birthday. I told him: no I will get obsessed! My hubs obviously never heard that conversation because he gave me a fitness tracker for my birthday 2 weeks ago! This morning during my run the darn thing was buzzing an awful lot because my bpm was too high, yeah right, I may be 64, but I can run! So then I looked up my max heart rate (220- your age)… ok, but my calendar age is not my fitness age, so then I looked up my fitness age (duh, one site calculated 62, another calculated 31!)…. Etc etc. See?!?! I get totally obsessed, also by the steps I take.

So here’s my question: Do you track things? If so, do you find it beneficial for you? Do you run the risk of getting obsessed?

BTW my son just whatsapped me (after all my ā€œobsessiveā€ messages): Mum, JUST IGNORE IT!
