sylvanwitchLate again, drat-it! But by the time I remembered last night, I was far too tired to make words of any kind. That's the theme of my life these days, btw. I'm sure some of you fine folx can relate. :-)
Anyway, please do share how you're doing looking back over the year behind us or ahead to the shadowy future. How has your progress been? What are you hoping to accomplish in the future? We're here for any fitness stories, no matter how you define fitness nor what you consider a goal. Please feel free to join us!
And, if you've been on silent mode at home, please consider joining more actively in the new year. (No pressure, though!)
Weight: Today: 178.2. I've seen a pound lower and two pounds higher this week, so I'll take it. Still, it's not surprising I haven't had any down-tick. I'm slipping up with night time snacking once more. Grrrr!
Exercise: On this, I remain steadfast and faithful. I'm using the elliptical at least three-four times a week, sometimes more often, and I'm enjoying it.
Eating plan: See above, re: snacking. Even so, I'm generally making *better* snacking choices and sometimes even resist altogether. And I've been much better lately about getting more dark greens, as I was having leg cramping, a sure sign that I'm not getting enough of them. I've also been having lighter lunches with more fruit and making sure to get enough veggies with dinner.
The week ahead: Lose or at the very least hold the line. Xmas day will be a bit of an eating splurge as will New Year's Eve, which in our household means all the oven-baked crap we can manage to cram into our faces (e.g. mini-pizzas, mini-eggrolls, etc., as well as cheese and baguette--all vegan, still bad for us, no regrets!). But I'm getting ahead of myself. For this week, I am going to try to lose at least another pound, just to give myself a little more wiggle room for the those splurge days.
Wishing you a good week ahead.

Date: Thursday, 16 December 2021 11:58 pm (UTC)I've been starting PT this week and it's stuff to strengthen my quads. They reccomend i stick to an exercise bike for general exercise so im probably getting my parents bike they don't use anymore. And i have to do one or both daily.
This is going to be VERY hard for me as i do NOT always feel like exercising. I have chronic pain and am tired a lot especially after work...so im gonna struggle after a while. I know it.

Date: Friday, 17 December 2021 03:14 pm (UTC)I have a recumbent bike that I really enjoyed using for years. Mostly, I use the elliptical now, but I still have the recumbent bike. I hope you find a routine you're comfortable with, and again, if you need a nudge or whatever, I'm here to help with accountability. :-)
I'll be launching Fitness Fellowship 2022 on 1 January, so our new check-in day will be Saturdays.
