sylvanwitchHi, there!
This is a friendly reminder that anyone can join us at any time with any fitness-related goal in whatever way it is you define both fitness and goals. We're VERY easygoing (and friendly, too!) :-)
If you'd like to hop in, just share whatever goal it is you're trying to achieve. Then, at your own pace, feel free to comment on the weekly post or not, as you prefer. Really, this is all about accountability, but you choose how involved you'd like to be. Usually, I ask you to share how your past week has gone and what your plans for the week ahead might be.
So: How'd Week Seven go for you? Did you have any victories? Any stumbling blocks? Do you have any food, fitness, and/or fun tips to share? We'd love to hear from you!
Food: My husband went to St. Catherine's, Ontario, to the marvelous Beechwood Bakery to get me a "Baker's half-dozen" (meaning 7) vegan doughnuts for Valentine's Day because he's amazing and awesome. Consequently, I've had seven doughnuts this week. ;-) Otherwise, I've been pretty good on plan and feeling pretty good about what I'm putting into my body.
Exercise: I'm very pleased to report that I worked out FOUR of the seven days for at least 30 minutes, including two sessions on the treadmill. I'm trying to get back into the habit of using the treadmill and/or recumbent stationary bike because the outdoors these days are not conducive to exercise (it's COLD, yo, not to mention the footing is treacherous sometimes). It helps that I'm rewatching Generation Kill. Man, I love this show.
Meditation: As if. (Seriously, I need to be better about this.)
Sleep: Pretty good. I've had a few nights when I felt a little anxious, so I stay up in my reading chair until I feel sleepy, and then I just recline that sucker and fall asleep that way. At some point in the night, I make the transfer to bed. It may not be the BEST way to get enough sleep, but it does mean I get some sleep, and I think that's better than not getting ANY sleep because I'm having anxiety.
My plan for the week ahead is to work out at least four times for thirty minutes at a go, eat well (fewer doughnuts guaranteed ;-), sleep, and meditate. It helps that I'm on winter break until Monday.
Have a fantastic week, my friends!

Date: Wednesday, 20 February 2019 11:28 pm (UTC)I had a bad week, health-/wellness-wise: still in a sort of vacuum between two flats, with all my routines being messed up, and I've been stress-eating + sleeping badly. Also, during the weekend I visited friends and there was WAY too much to drink. I'd like to say I will do better this week, but I'm travelling (long weekend to use last year's vacation days before it's too late) and when I get back, I need to move out of my old place for good, until which point I sort of feel like I can't relax anyway.
At least I've been eating a lot of salads!
