sylvanwitchHello!
I hope you've had a good week, for whatever value you give the word "good," and that you're feeling well and as content as possible.
If you're so inclined to share, please do let us know how your week has been, fitness-wise and otherwise. We're here to listen and cheerlead, not judge.
Weight: 202. Up .8 from last week and surprising, given (see below).
Eating plan: I do well for part of the day and then the wheels come off some evenings. I will say I haven't been as rabid in my binges as I had been before I resumed these posts, but I still need to moderate and stop with the nighttime snacking. Most of it is comfort-eating. There has been a lot of obligatory work this week, and it's wearing me down.
Exercise: On this I have remained steadfast. I had two days when I didn't work out, but I had very active days in the yard/garden and/or packing up my mother's house ahead of its sale, so I still got a lot of activity in. I did three elliptical workouts this week too. Yay!
The week ahead: At least three elliptical workouts. Less nighttime snacking. Splurge day TODAY because it's our anniversary (Indian food and vegan cake for dinner!). Walking. Gardening. Biking. Hiking. I have a lot of computer work (prep for the new school year) this week, and I'm pledging to make sure I'm up every half-hour for at least 500-1000 steps, in addition to my daily 35-minute (or more) workout. I need to be better about not being stapled to my computer chair. My CBD oil should be here in the next few days, so I'm also hoping to get some uninterrupted sleep. I'll let you know how it goes.
As always, I am sending you good vibes for the week ahead. Stay groovy!

Date: Friday, 19 August 2022 12:18 am (UTC)Good luck with unstapling yourself from the computer chair. It's a difficult place to free yourself from, for sure. I'm not sure where to even start with the work I need to do. It's causing me some low level anxiety. I keep staring at my computer, then wandering around the house for a while and thinking aloud, then just deciding I need to sit on the couch and read things that I need to read. Rereading The Road today was traumatising. I kept bursting into tears at the beautiful bits. I think that's equally valid prep as writing lesson plans are :D
I have some things that I need to do for better physical and mental health in the autumn but I'm not quite ready for them yet because I'm still in summer mode.
