Approaching 4pm. Just a couple of #VisibleHealth PacePoints used so far, despite doing a fair amount of housework, cooking and some planning for work.
Still amazed that I've reached a routine of twice-weekly gym sessions. Long may this continue! I'm going in 🙏

It was very close (!) but I ended Monday within all of my known 'Budgets' - For movement [ #KiActiv ] and for PacePoints [ #VisibleHealth - Based on Heartrate across the day ] 🙏

Magic! Look how well Reclining on the back seat of my car takes my Heartrate back down to Resting Pace, after it was elevated for over 9 hours 👇
And I know that I coped with a daily PacePoints budget of 30, a few months ago 🙏
A reminder that I am #PEM -symptom-free; this is #Pacing to AVOID PEM.

Only one thing for it: Park up and recline on the back seat of my car, in advance of tonight's band rehearsal. This invariably gets my heartrate back down!

Fewer than three #VisibleHealth PacePoints used despite (carefully paced) weight training and two runs on the treadmill - one minute of which was sprinting 🙂

But I kept my heartrate nice and low, so my #VisibleHealth PacePoints usage has been pretty low, considering the fact that I taught five groups of ~30 students at a time, Year 7s to Year 10s, including a Physics lesson with multiple experiments and practical demonstrations.
I love my teaching job.

Teaching my 4th Year 8 class of the day [a Physics lesson with exciting Demonstrations!] really clocked-up the PacePoints, but my 2-hour Union Meeting in Torquay really calmed my heartrate down 🙂

Good timing, as days don't get much busier than today...
Getting up earlier than usual, so starting to use-up PacePoints and my Movement Quota earlier.
Full teaching day including moving between classrooms and Physics labs.
Union meeting after work.
Orchestra rehearsal until 10pm!

2pm. All I've managed so far today has centred around cooking enough food for around 7 or 8 meals; not bad, I suppose.
3.5 #VisibleHealth PacePoints used, so I'm more than 7 PP behind my daily pacesetter...
And I've used one-third of my daily 'Moderate' movement quota of 60 minutes - #KiActiv...

So I've checked my #VisibleHealth pacepoints 👇
Only half (12) of today's allocation of pacepoints used so far 👍
But my #KiActiv movement data reveal what my wobbly legs were starting to tell me: I've just exceeded my nominal 60 daily minutes of 'Moderate' movement.
Will go Slow-Mo. this evening!

Note that this was NOT an actual Ofsted lesson observation; rather, it was just a few minutes of observation by our Headteacher and a retired #Ofsted inspector at the start of my lesson.
Interesting to see what such experiences can do to heartrate!

Being SIXTEEN Visible Health pacepoints behind today's pacesetter, the only thing that will keep me #pacing and #resting between exercises is my self-control and memories of awful Post-Exertional-Malaise.
I don't want #PEM so I enjoy the exercise in short bursts only.

Interesting how easy it is to Pace when I don't have impending deadlines 🤔
My first physical challenge of the day was walking up the steep slope that is Totnes High Street; but the first physical activity each new day is invariably easy!
An enjoyable hour in town, for fewer than 2 #PacePoints 🙏

Important to note that I have increased my daily PacePoints quota to 24PP, but in any case this shows good #pacing and a lack of Exertional heartrates 👇

I've only used 0.1 of a PacePoint in the last 30 minutes, as my heartrate been low, from lying down.
3.3 PacePoints to get me through tonight's orchestra rehearsal will be challenging, but I'm going to try 🙏
I MUST avoid moving anything but really slowly!

But 25 minutes of resting across the back seat of my car has finally brought my heartrate down.
And I used to get away with a (self-set) daily PacePoints (PP) allocation of 30 PP 🤔
Rather than blowing my budget, I'm going to take a risk and raise my daily limit from 22 to 25 PacePoints...

Then there are my Heartrate-based PacePoints limits - again self-set - via @visible_health:
