How's it going, friends? Are you hanging in there? Hanging by a thread? Having a grand old time?

However you'd characterize your current state, please do share with us, if you're so inclined, how your fitness journey has been for the past week and what, if any, goals you have for the week ahead.



Weight: I'm up to 212, which might be my annual high weight? I'm too tired to be upset about it, but I do recognize that it's not ideal and that I need to get back to a better diet.

Eating plan: I've been eating my usual vegan foods and generally keeping to an eating/fasting routine, but I've just been comfort eating more calories. I need to stop treating food as a reward for the temporary consolation of low-level misery. Unfortunately, my alternative to comfort eating is buying things, and that we cannot afford, so...

Exercise: Yoga every day for about 15 minutes. Light weights five out of seven days. Some walking every day, two longer hikes on each of the weekend days. Most work days, I did between 45 minutes and one hour of exercise, including the yoga and weights.

Sleep: Ugh. I wish I were getting better quality and longer sessions of sleep. I'm doing my best to be off-screen and calmed down at least a half-hour before my bedtime, but there is some struggle. I'm working on it.

Meditation: I'm taking this off the weekly check-in because I'm doing yoga daily, and that always involves at least a few minutes of breathing and clearing the mind.

Hydration: I definitely have been better about this the past week than I had been the week before that.

The plan: Eat fewer calories daily. Keep up with the exercise. Try to get better sleep. Hydrate as regularly as possible.



Riding the good vibes with you, my friends, and sending you ALL the energy for success that I can spare.

I wish I could exercise and lose weight as easily as I turn into a wheezing blister from touching dust (omg the allergies this week)
