sylvanwitchWoooo! We had almost total cloud cover and then BAM! the clouds broke apart just enough to watch the eclipse here in the path of totality! It was AWESOME!
This is the last day of my spring break, and I am feeling melancholy and anxious but also hopeful. Sometimes, I have these contradictory emotions, and I've learned not to fuss myself too much about them. I guess that's called growth?
As always, please share your past week's ups and downs with us, if you're so inclined. You can join in at any time and take time off too. We'll be here waiting when you join us. :-)
Weight: 205.4, up 2.2 from last Monday. This is largely the result of some overindulgence on the weekend, though I didn't OVER-over indulge, if you know what I mean. Honestly, it's frustrating to see such a significant rise because I have been exercising more frequently and for greater durations during the whole of my break, and I didn't really splurge a great deal over the weekend. Ah, well, hopefully things will be better, weight-wise, next week.
Exercise: Weight training at least twice, YES. Incline workouts at least twice, YES (and more)! Exercise every day, YES! It was a very good week for me in terms of long walks, elliptical and bike workouts, and hill- and step-climbing workouts, and we also did some intervals.
Sleep: I've been adjusting my bedtime back an hour each night for the past three, so I am ready to go to bed by or before 11:00pm tonight. I have such lovely sleep during breaks. I think the stress of my job interferes with my sleep even when I'm going to bed at a good time each night. Ah, well. Can't be helped. *shakes fist at gainful employment*
Meditation: YES! I did quite a lot of boxing of the breath this week. I like that one a lot, and it really does calm and settle me.
Hydration: Also, yes! Water, homemade ginger tisane, coffee and tea, an occasional Zevia for a treat.
May the week ahead bring you lots of light and hope, my friends!
