Fitness Fellowship 2019: Week Two Check-in
So, how are you all doing out there? How has your week been? Stop by to drop a report in the comments, and remember, this is totally self-driven, so if you need to change/update/erase a goal(s) or plan(s), please do. NO judgement!
As always, if you'd just like a cheerleader and/or kick in the pants, I'm your girl as well. :-)
Eating: Better. I'm still indulging in leftover treats but in a lesser quantity and less frequently than before. Also, we went grocery shopping over the weekend, and I stocked the house with all the building blocks I need to "cook clean." I've been making lots of beans, greens, rice, etc., in various combinations, as well as stir-fry (minus the oil). I've been eating sprouted grains and have reintroduced smoothies and oatmeal into my diet. And I'm already feeling the difference in a good way, so yay!
Exercise: *sighs* Two days this week. Two. In my defense, I had a few days when I was just plain exhausted and one headache day. Still, I was a slug a lot of the time, and that's unacceptable. Mostly I made my daily step count, which is nice, but that's not necessarily purposeful exercise to get the blood pumping, so... I pledge to do better in the week to come.
Sleep: My anxiety was mostly okay, but when T. works the closing shift, I have trouble sleeping until I know he's home, which is typically an hour later than I should be in bed. This definitely contributes to the exhaustion, which leads to the slug-like behavior. There's not much I can do about T's work schedule except hope he gets fewer closing shifts.
Meditation: What's that? Lol! Seriously, I suck. I WILL do better!
The good news: I actually started seeing downward movement on the scale! It's not much, but it's moving in the right direction, and I'll take it.
The plan for Week Three: Exercise at least three times this week for at least 20-30 minutes at a time. Make my steps goal daily. Eat clean. Meditate at least once. Get more sleep.
Happy Week Three! We can do it!

I'm making another attempt to get into medidation via an app. Apparently the trick is to do it in the morning, lying in bed, because then it gives me an excuse to putting off rising for a little longer... So far I've managed to meditate instead of falling asleep again. *g*

And thank you for the support on the goals I did make this past week. Here's hoping I can check off the other boxes next time.
