Just about avoided exceeding my nominal #KiActiv '4000-calories-per-day' movement budget 👇
And I've ended the day just 4 minutes of 'Moderate' exertion over my nominal '60 minutes' limit.
Movement-wise I've paced well.
Heartrate-wise (and therefore #Visible Pacepoints-wise) I'm well over-budget.
#Pacing to avoid the debilitating #PEM associated with my #LongCovid 🙏
5pm Thursday
Reclining across comfy staffroon chairs and starting to REST after another highly enjoyable, yet full-on teaching day.
42 out of today's 30 #VisibleHealth PacePoints used - Already 12 over budget
Heartrate has been racing again today 👇
#KiActiv (movement) data: AT my daily limits already 👇.
I've slowed down & RESTED since 3pm - i.e. for almost 6 hours now.
#KiActiv (movement) data confirms that I've kept within my 'energy envelopes' of 4000 daily calories & 60 minutes of 'Moderate' movement.
But my HR was racing since the Assembly & I've only recently got it down to resting pace 🙏...
It took me 75 minutes to walk what used to take me 30 minutes.
And I remain well-within my known 'energy envelopes':
Just over half of today's #KiActiv 'Moderate Movement' budget used & still lots left in the tank 🙏
And as I lay around all morning, I'm well behind today's #VisibleHealth PacePoints
Yesterday I truly STOMPED up that coastal path - and it felt AMAZING.
Pleasantly surprised to find that my legs are strong, from the careful strength training that I've been doing at the #NuffieldHealth gym
And, as I didn't do anything else 'exertional' all day yesterday [see #KiActiv movement graph below]... I feel amazing today 🙏
My #KiActiv smartwatch (movement) data from yesterday reflects a busy working day (including lunchtime duty across the school site) and then hanging-up washed clothes to dry late into the evening 👇 I was AT my limits for overall movement and for 'Moderate' activity (1 hour per day) 🙏
So far today I've only moved around for 40 minutes, of which only 5 minutes 'Moderately' 😊
