sylvanwitchGreetings, friends! We celebrated the autumnal equinox in my part of the world on Sunday, for which I made apple walnut raisin muffins (vegan-ified), drank cider, and had an apple cider doughnut, too.
You might notice a food theme. I associate every part of the year with particular foods, and given how often food is my reward for having survived a hard day or whatnot, it's not surprising that I look forward to the autumn for not just the good-for-me stuff (Ginger gold apples, Bartlett pears, butternut squash, to name a few) but also the not-so-good-for-me stuff, like the aforementioned doughnuts.
What do you look forward to this time of year? Feel free to skip that question, but please do tell us how your week has gone in terms of your fitness goals.
Weight: Ugh. Way up. I'm not sure why, either, which is frustrating. I'm trying to focus on other fitness markers, i.e. increased flexibility, instead.
Exercise: Daily yoga, light weights five of seven days, some walking every day, a 3-mile walk on Sunday. I continue to aim for 45 minutes to 1 hour of exercise daily.
Eating plan: I really have been pretty good, but we did get Chinese takeout on Friday, and I ate that for the main meal on Saturday and Sunday, as well, so I'm guessing that was the culprit with the weight gain.
Sleep: I'm trying to get to bed on time. I've made some strides in that direction this week. I'll keep at it.
Hydration: I have not been so good at this, especially at work. I have to make a better effort. I have my cold ginger tea with me, but I don't always get around to drinking it. I think I get busy and then simply forget, even though my insulated bottle is right there on my desk.
The week ahead will be more of the same, minus the Chinese food. ;-)
