sylvanwitchHello, Friends!
I am all out of small talk, so I'm just going to get right to the point: How was your week, fitness-wise and/or otherwise? I hope you've had more successes than struggles. As always, please share with us whatever you'd like to about your week and any goals you may have for the week ahead.
Weight: I'm up a little from last week and only just shy of what I weighed when I got home from vacation.
Exercise: It's not because I'm not exercising. There has been less gardening--the conditions haven't been ideal for weeding, but I've done what I can, mostly watering--but I've been getting in a lot of miles every day and also have done some light weights and some incline and cardio work. So, I've been active.
Eating plan: I've snacked every night--and LATE at night, circa midnight. It's not always because I'm hungry either. I am definitely struggling with some anxiety issues around our upcoming elections in November, and I should really stop doomscrolling the app formerly known as Twitter because it is not conducive to my mental health. Needless to say, the doomscrolling doesn't help with the next one either.
Sleep: I think I've finally disciplined myself enough to be off devices at least a half-hour before my bedtime and to be in bed by circa 1:00am. I have been doing okay with falling asleep, but staying asleep is another story. The anxiety dreams seem constant. (Last night's woke me up coughing, convinced we were trapped in a house on fire.) But I'm at least setting actual boundaries and trying to abide by them.
Meditation: Yes, I've done some breathing and prayer.
Hydration: Yes, definitely. I've been more mindful of this as it's been hotter here. I bought a sort of water bottle sling that lets me put my camera, ID and bank card, tissues, etc., in it as well, and I've been using that. (I don't like holding something in my hand when I'm out for a ramble, and I dislike the way a full backpack makes my back soaked with sweat.)
The week ahead: One thing at a time. This week's goal is to defeat the nighttime snacking fiend and get back on the strict eating window wagon. Then, I'll work on reducing my intake of calories during that window.
May the week be a good one for you, full of those things you most need to feel contented.
