sylvanwitchFriends, I apologize for the delay! I'm still unable to post if I'm using my usual browser, Chrome, but my laptop came with MS Edge, so I'm using that for this posting. I'm not the only one having issues with posting, and I've put in a help request, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I can post this way.
How was your last week (and this one so far), in terms of your goals for fitness (or in terms of anything else you'd like to share)? I hope it was a good one for you.
My weight is up a little this week, probably because I've been eating like it's a holiday. That's because we've had a snowstorm bad enough that not only has school been closed, but they've cancelled midterm exams. That is an enormous relief because I'd have had to grade handwritten exam essays in a truncated window of time, and now I do not have to worry about them. YAY!
I've been getting plenty of exercise each day (today, I did 60 minutes on the bike, for example), but I've also been eating more than usual. I'm still only eating within my window, however, so the intermittent fasting is in place. It's just that I've been making big, hearty breakfasts and such. (This morning it was whole wheat pancakes with pecans.)
I have been good about hydration, been getting lots of extra sleep (SO GOOD!), and I even spent some time praying and meditating while walking out in the snow in the far back yard. (It was wild and lovely out there!) If I had managed to rein in the amount of food I've been consuming, I'd likely have seen a drop on the scale. As it is, I'm up a bit, but c'est la vie. I've been enjoying the extra time to cook good things and consume them with the snow falling furiously outside. :-)
Have a great remainder of your week!
