sylvanwitchHowdy, friends!
I hope the week has treated you gently and that you are feeling healthy today. As usual, please share your fitness progress (or lack thereof--no judgement here!) with us in the comments.
Weight: I'm down at least 1.2 pounds from last week.
Exercise: I've exercised every day for at least an hour. I did yoga every day. I got a LOT of miles of walking in. I did weights/cardio only one day because my right elbow has been giving me some grief, but I supplemented that lack by gardening for 1.5 hours in the heat yesterday, which activity included lots of weeding and yanking of strangling vines.
Eating plan: I'm still snacking at night, mostly sunflower seeds. I have managed to regulate my daily caloric intake, however. And when I do snack at night, I extend my eating window further into the next day, breaking my fast at lunchtime instead of 10am. But I need to stop with the sunflower seeds.
Hydration: Definitely.
Meditation: Yoga has been a revelation in terms of how much tension I'm carrying in my body. I also think about my yoga sessions later in the day, and it helps me un-tense. I also still do boxing the breath sometimes, as well.
Sleep: This has been dodgy, but I'm working on not drinking as much water in the evening, to avoid having to get up to use the loo in the middle of the night, and I've also been much better about putting the iPad down and picking up a crossword puzzle book or a physical book to read. The anxiety dreams are hit-and-miss. I think they've gotten a little better since I've curtailed my Twitter viewing.
The week ahead: The usual plan: At least an hour of exercise a day (including 15 minutes of yoga); sticking to an eating window and NOT snacking in the evening; getting enough sleep and hydration.
I think we need hope these days, so I'm sending you as much hope as I can spare for your use in the week ahead.
