sylvanwitchHowdy, friends!
I hope the past week has been a good one for you. Please share how you're doing on your fitness goals with us. What's giving you a challenge? What's working like a charm? Any adjustments you're planning to make? We're always here to listen. :-)
I lost about a half-pound this week, probably because I continue to be dedicated to getting focused exercise every day and also because I made it a point to get more sleep whenever possible. (I had one night when for reasons beyond my control, I couldn't get to bed until later, and boy, did I feel that the next day or two afterwards.) I've also been drinking a LOT of water daily, making a point of that as well, plus non-caffeinated tea in the evenings sometimes.
I'm doing okay on the calorie-restricted diet. Sometimes I "cheat" with lightly salted popcorn at night, and my splurge meal generally turns into a splurge weekend, which cannot keep happening.
But I do feel like I'm increasing my stamina and endurance as well as my strength and heart health, so these are good things.
I still have not meditated, and I am still stubbornly keeping it on my list of goals because it shouldn't be this difficult.
Sending you strong, healthy vibes for the week ahead!

Date: Monday, 24 April 2023 06:18 pm (UTC)I'm trying replacement therapy and having a can of cider or beer rather than opening a bottle of wine, which is always dangerous for me. Seems to be working. Cider or beer are more volume and lower alcohol content. I'm also back into the plant-based diet and trying out different vegetarian cooking techniques, like using marmite in things for added umami. Exercise is still problematic as I'm insanely busy at school with the run-up to the final exams.
