Fitness Fellowship 2024: Week 12 Check-in

[sylvanwitch]

Happy new week, friends! I hope the week past has been good for you, goals-wise and otherwise. Please do share your ups and downs here.



Weight: 205.4, down 1.4 from last week.

Exercise: Every day, yes. In addition: Twice on incline on the elliptical, yes. Twice with hand weights, yes.

Intermittent Fasting: Only one popcorn incident! Also, I kept my splurging to a single day. YAY!

Sleep: I have been not good about getting to bed by 11:00pm and certainly haven't been off-screen by 10:30pm. My sleep and mood both show it, too. I must be better at least for the next two nights. (I have spring break starting Thursday.)

Breathing/Meditation: Yes! I did both some boxing of the breath AND some chanting while walking, which was new-to-me and also awesome!

Hydration: Yes!

The week ahead should be more of the same, though I'm going to be on break and will have to be extra vigilant to avoid backsliding on diet. I will relax my sleeping habits, though I'm sure I'll regret that come April 9, when I return to my regular work schedule.


I'm sending you all the good vibes for a healthy, happy week to be!

My goal was to get a score of 75 on Zoe but I only managed 68 last week. Anything over 50 is 'good' so I'm fine with that. We had friends stay with us over the weekend, and while I did make a really healthy dinner, a tofu and vegetable stir fry, I then cooked a full English breakfast on Sunday morning so that impacted my weekly score. If I eat anything like bacon then that's it, game over, a score of zero for the whole day. I know before I log the meal that the app is going to judge me hard, even if I only have water and blueberries for the rest of the day! :)

Enjoy spring break. I'm off to SA for two weeks. My dad has been unwell so I'm glad I'll get to see him. I can't imagine he has much longer actually. He seems to have declined a lot in the last few months.

I'm going to try and eat reasonably well while I'm out there. My family tend to eat unprocessed, whole foods and fresh fruit and vegetables, but there will also be red meat and wine. My stomach is probably going to freak out as I've got so used to eating the Zoe Way.

I hope your trip to SA is fulfilling, given the circumstances. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, and I hope that when his time arrives, it is as painless and comfortable as it is possible to be. Big, big *hugs* to you there.

Also, I think it's marvelous that you are already so attuned to the program, and I hope you get many lovely scores while you're abroad. It sounds like you'll have the opportunity, given the way your family eats.

Safe travels, my friend.
