April Health Goals Update 2023

Posted on April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 by Petra

It’s time for another update on my April health goals to lower my cholesterol as well as lose a bit of weight. To recap my health goals for this year:

  • Walk 3 to 6 miles a day – I have a goal to achieve 2023 miles this year
  • Hike every other week – I did a 14-mile hike – maybe squeeze in one more not quite as long.
  • Annual Physical – since I just had one this will be in December.
  • Mammogram – done and dusted
  • Change diet – still working on food choices
April Hike
Three Ridges Trail

What’s happening

It’s been a busy month but I did manage to add about 100 miles in the last 30 days. I tackled my first big hike on Three Ridges Trail and planning to do 1 to 3 long hikes a month.

With my diet changes that I talked about, I am down by 5 lbs so far going from 142 to 137 – now due to travel and a lot of places not having the best options and being my not-so-favorite time of the month, the scale is reading 138-ish but there aren’t any other travel plans ahead until July so I can stay focused on my nutrition a little bit better.

Changes I am going to make

I am going to continue to tweak my meals and food intake while maintaining my walking regimen and add some strength training with my kettlebells.

I found a really fun recipe that only uses eggs and cream cheese to make a “waffle” and then adds some keto-friendly sugar. I am not following the keto diet – I have high cholesterol so that diet doesn’t make sense to me for me – but a low-carb one with some extra fiber as I am on iron pills to help with the anemia.

Keeping it slow and steady is winning this for me. Thanks for reading my April health goals update – see you in a month!
