sylvanwitchAnother week down, friends! How has it been for you? Please share triumphs and tragedies, minor inconveniences and major incentives--whatever you'd like to tell us about how this fitness quest is going for you.
Every year, Daylight Savings Time kicks my ass, and this year is no exception. After that positive weigh-in last week, I started this past week having gained 3.5 pounds literally overnight, which I attribute to the time change messing with my rhythms.
Sleep was hard to come by; it was the final week of the marking period, which is always stressful; I had several extracurricular obligations in the afternoons/evenings; and the tendonitis in my left wrist played up something fierce.
These are all true and also in part excuses because there was also much snacking to supplement my otherwise healthy eating.
The one good thing in the whole mess is that I maintained my exercise regimen, and I have noticed I am feeling fitter for that, even if I haven't any weight loss to show for it.
My plan for this week is to keep at the exercise and lay off the snacking, regardless of how stressful and/or upsetting the week is, and to try to hydrate, get enough sleep, and meditate.
Here's wishing you a very good week, my friends!

Date: Sunday, 19 March 2023 10:06 pm (UTC)I went up to London over the weekend (with a bag full of grading to do on the train) and saw an opera called Akhenaten. It was *astoundingly* good, so it feels like my soul has been fed too. It was also really nice to do a long walk through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. I'm SO glad I no longer live in the city though. Cities are generally awful places in my opinion, except for the art and culture, which I do miss.

Date: Monday, 20 March 2023 01:41 pm (UTC)I finished a big batch of grading last week in preparation for the close of the marking period, and I collected an even larger batch end of week for the next MP, since our seniors have a shortened final MP (19 days). Today, Day 1 of those 19 remaining, I intended to start the final unit, but the students decided it was senior skip day. I have, literally, only one student on the roster for my last period of the day, and I'd be surprised if he didn't take an early dismissal before then. Guess that means I'll get my marking done! Lol!
I'm so glad you got to have such a wonderful experience in London. It sounds magical and soul-recovering, and you deserve it so much, hon. *hugs*
