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!

Date: Tuesday, 19 March 2024 07:49 pm (UTC)I missed pilates today as I had to work late because of a deadline tomorrow, but I've booked a body balance class for Thurs in its place.
My main goal is to reach an average weekly score of 75 on Zoe this week, which would put me in the excellent range. My score was 72 last week and according to the app I managed to eat 42 different plants. I'm such an overachiever - the goal is 30 in a week :D. I've discovered legume pasta brands and they score so highly. The edamame and mung bean fettucine I had for dinner tonight scores 100 and tastes really good. I'm currently *obsessed* with the numbers but I'm okay with that because it's a temporary thing as I embed these changes in my diet.

(It's snowing like hell out there right now, and the robins are SO confused. Ugh.)
