Fitness Fellowship 2024: Week 24 Check-in

[sylvanwitch]

Greetings, fitness friends!  I'm going to do something a little different with this week's check-in, namely skip my personal report, because we are on vacation, and I don't want to spend too much time online.

BUT, please DO share your ups and downs for the week that was and any goals you have for the week ahead, and I promise to respond to your comments.

I hope the week to come treats you gently and that you make your goals without any trouble at all. :-)

I'm still hovering close to my next goal, but I also keep making excuses for treats.

Today, I grabbed taquitos and a Slurpee for lunch from 7 Eleven. I'm currently grumbling about the fact that 7 Eleven is the cheapest lunch I have access to. I have healthier choices that I could be making, but they all involve more money and/or more planning. (I have a ton of dried beans and lentils, etc, and I just can't work up the motivation to actually cook lately.)

Believe me, I appreciate what you're saying here about cheaper and more convenient options versus having to actually spend time prepping and cooking. I have the same problem, and honestly, I usually end up spending more than I should on prepared-but-healthier foods rather than putting together my own salad, for example. I have that luxury, however, because my husband works at a grocery store known for its freshly prepared, packaged foods. Even so, the sodium content alone turns my hair white, and I know I *should* be eating even fresher/more whole foods rather than buying stuff already cooked/prepped by someone else.

This is all to say that the struggle is real, and we are both going through it. :-)

And I've had too many times in the past where I decided to make my own food from scratch, buy the ingredients, blink, and half the produce needs to be thrown out because I didn't use it in time. Which then discourages me from buying more produce the next time unless I'm planning to eat it that same day.
