Fitness Fellowship 2024: Week Seven Check-in

[sylvanwitch]

Greetings and salutations!

We are past the halfway point in February, and I'm not honestly sure how the time went so swiftly. I am having premature spring pangs, like wanting to clean out the garden (I leave things standing for bugs and whatnot and don't cut anything down until we're well past the chance of snow/frost/freeze), which would have been foolish, since we had a snowstorm yesterday. But, despite the cold, I got outside for a ramble this afternoon and saw a belted kingfisher, bald eagle, and pileated woodpecker, so I guess I can wait a few more weeks for something like actual spring to arrive.

How has your week been? Any victories? Any challenges? Please do share, if you're so inclined.


I'm pleased to report that I'm down 1.6 from last week's weigh-in, and I credit that to NOT splurging every meal on the weekend. My rest has been pretty good, though I'm staying up much later on break than I do during a regular school week. I've been good about hydrating and have also done some breathing and mindfulness exercises occasionally. All in all, it was a good week.

I'm in my one-week winter break today and for the next four, and we're heading out for a few days of travel, so there will be challenges, but I have been sticking and will continue to stick to my intermittent fasting windows, keep drinking my ginger tisane, breathe and/or meditate, and get good rest. Of course, I will also make sure to keep getting plenty of exercise, which is the one aspect of my fitness quest that is consistent and consistently good.


I'm sending you good vibes for the week we're in, my friends! Be well!

Thanks! <3

ETA: Also, I am envious of you for the kingfisher. : )

I always hear it before I see it--it's a "regular" at one of our local parks--but this time, it flew first right over my head and then, on my walk back, it passed under the bridge I was crossing. So cool!
