sylvanwitchLast week was busy, and then I was exposed to COVID. How has yours been? Do feel free to share the ups and downs of your fitness journey. As always, we're here to commiserate, not to judge. :-)
The good news: I lost weight again this week! In fact, I'm a pound and a half away from the weight I started the year at, which is *good* news, since I gained a bunch this year and have finally almost lost all of it! YAY! My goal is to get to 200 pounds or fewer by 1 January 2024. Today's weigh-in was 214. I am SO excited by that number. The intermittent fasting is definitely working.
I made a point of hydrating more this week, and I got as much exercise as I was able. That included a few long walks and lots of laps of the hallways and library when I knew I was busy in the evenings. I did some breathing/prayer/mindfulness stuff in the mornings a few days, and I worked on getting enough sleep too.
For the week ahead, I'd like to continue keeping to my intermittent fasting, keep exercising daily, hydrate sufficiently, sleep enough, and breathe/pray/meditate as and when I can.
Also, I really hope we test negative for COVID. We got both COVID and flu shots two weeks ago this coming Tuesday. Our exposure was Friday night at a wedding. The venue was well-ventilated, but the music was super loud, so we were shouting to hear each other, and we were sitting next to and talking with the person who texted the next morning to say she'd tested positive. *sighs* We're planning to go away for the long weekend, but if we're positive, we'll stay home so as not to give it to anyone else. Please do cross your fingers for us.
Here's hoping we have a great week, friends!
