sylvanwitchHi, there, fitness friends!
How has your week gone? What are you hoping for in the week(s) ahead? Please share if you're so inclined. We're here to listen and commiserate/celebrate you!
The good news: The day after I posted last week's check-in, my weight was even higher than on check-in, but as of this morning, I've lost .2 pounds since last Sunday, so all that gain is gone plus a little. And I'm frankly sort of surprised by it only because the second half of this week was stressful and involved not getting home in time to cook and therefore having take-out, which isn't the healthiest.
Still, I *did* keep to my daily exercise, often getting more than 12K steps a day, and all nights but one I was in bed on time too, though sometimes the quality of my sleep wasn't always great. I didn't meditate, but I did pray on Beltane and again a couple of other times (outside of my daily morning prayers, which I say religiously, pun intended ;-), so I'm counting that. I've been trying to stay hydrated and having some success with that as well.
In all, it wasn't as bad a week as it might have been, given the stress of the latter half of the week.
This coming week should be less stressful (please, gods, just let it be normal), so I'm going to do my best to make healthy food choices throughout the week and, of course, continue hydrating, exercising, and getting to bed by 11:00pm. I will also, once again, attempt to meditate at least once.
Sending you good vibes for the week ahead!

Date: Sunday, 7 May 2023 07:08 pm (UTC)Food intake is less good, but I am eating leafy vegetables, so my gut is at least being cared for. And I still haven't put myself on the scale. I may not do that again until June.
ETA: I'm glad to hear you're feeling better about your progress this week. I hold you in my thoughts as well. Just letting you know since I'm also pants at responding to things.

YAY for leafy veggies, too! As I am also variable about getting them into me, I can appreciate the accomplishment when you do!
