sylvanwitchTomorrow is the start of spring in our part of the world, but tonight it is cold and snowy. So it goes!
I hope whatever the weather is doing where you are, it's conducive to some outdoor rambles if that's your exercise of choice. I do love a good stroll.
As usual, if you're so inclined, please share how the past week has been for you in terms of reaching your fitness goals.
I'm going to try to be a little less narrative in my review now, since I have so many goals altogether.
Weight: 206.8, about the same as last week.
Fasting: I had some snack attacks later in the evening three nights last week, which I satisfied with popcorn. I've been much better for the past four nights, however, and I think I've dodged the habit-forming bullet.
Hydration: I continue to brew my own ginger root tisane with lemon or lime juice and agave nectar, and I continue to drink it in large quantities during the work day. In the evenings, I mostly drink water.
Sleep: I had some difficulty with this last week, but it was largely the product of our time change (to Daylight Savings Time). I think my body is starting to adjust, thankfully. It was miserable going to bed on time and then just tossing and turning for hours.
Meditation/Breathing: Yes! This, I achieved while out for a walk one day last week.
Exercise: Yes, every day, walking and stair-climbing during the work week and walking for longer periods on the weekend. Also: Two sessions on the elliptical, incline 7/10, resistance 5/10, for a total of 35 minutes; two sessions of 10 minutes each lifting hand weights. (Note: The dip station is put together, but I haven't tried it yet. That's on my list for this week.)
For the week ahead: More of the same!
And, as always, I wish you all the very best for the week ahead!
