sylvanwitchI'm sorry this is a day late! We're leaving later this afternoon for a brief getaway, and I was busy yesterday and totally forgot to post this check-in!
How has Week 13 been for you? What have your ups and downs been? What are you planning for the week ahead? Please share if you're able. We're here to listen. :-)
I am up a few pounds this week and not surprised about it. I have travel anxiety, and for some reason, this trip in particular has triggered a stronger-than-usual response, so there was some difficulty sleeping and some comfort eating.
That said, I have kept to my regular exercise and, indeed, been feeling a difference in terms of strength and stamina where exercise is concerned. I'm definitely feeling strong in my calves, thighs, and butt!
I've also been extra good about hydrating. I have NOT been good about meditating. *sighs*
For this week, I'm on vacation for a few days and am NOT regulating my intake, so I expect I may be even *heavier* when I return, but on the flip side, we are also planning some hiking, so it's possible I'll just work off all the extra goodies. We'll see. I do have balanced meals planned. (We've rented a cabin, so I'm cooking.) I'm even bringing along salad fixings and veggies to cook, so, you know, I really am going to try to balance some of the snacking with reasonably healthy meals.
I hope the week is a good one for you, full of the people and things that make you happiest.

Date: Wednesday, 5 April 2023 02:42 pm (UTC)Last week's goals:
- New goal: do not do things related to my environmental organization (or to work) after 9 pm. I can do things on the computer, but only fannish things or other things that I enjoy.
This has been an excellent goal--it has gone well and I will keep it!
- New goal: Turn off computer at 10 pm every day. I don't have a smartphone but I still spend too much time in front of the laptop screen. This will also give me more reading time.
Same for this one, I have kept this up and it has felt great. It also makes it easier to keep the goal about turning out the light at 11.
- Go to bed and turn out the light at 11 pm every day.
Yes, I have been sleeping well last week! \o/
- Keep to my food goals.
Food is going fine.
- Go out in the woods every day, even if just a short walk.
Yes.
- Go running three times.
Yes.
- Do workouts on six days.
Yes.
Goals for this week:
- Do not do things related to my environmental organization (or to work) after 9 pm, or 8 pm if I can.
- Turn off computer at 10 pm every day.
- Go to bed and turn out the light at 11 pm every day. I already slept badly on Monday, alas, because we had a board meeting that evening until 9 pm. /o\ But hopefully it will be better later in the week.
- Keep to my food goals.
- Go out in the woods every day, even if just a short walk.
- Go running three times (if I don't go hiking on the weekend, otherwise adjust this).
- Do workouts on six days (if I don't go hiking on the weekend, otherwise adjust this).
