sylvanwitchHow did the past week go for you, friends? Did you enjoy the bounty of the season (wherever you are, whatever season that might be), or did you struggle with what you ate, how much exercise you got, or with your other personal fitness goals?
Of course, I hope it was a good week for you, but in any case, please do share if you're so inclined.
Weight: I gained around 1.5 or 2 pounds (ish), and I call that fine.
Eating plan: I made way too much stuffing, so we've been eating that for almost every meal. (I made mashed potato and stuffing "pancakes" for breakfast yesterday--quite tasty but not what you'd call healthy.) We also ended up with four desserts (pecan pie, apple pie, carrot cake, and vegan pumpkin spice cheesecake). I actually haven't been overeating or indulging in too many desserts, etc., and I've mostly kept to my eating/fasting windows too.
Exercise: I was very good about this. During my epic LotR extended-version rewatch, I used the elliptical for ten-minute sessions several times throughout the day and early evening. I got a long ramble in on Wednesday and Sunday, too, and did yoga five times last week.
Sleep: I fell back into my night-owl ways, but I got to bed on time last night and am only a little sleepy today.
Hydration: This is easy when I'm home, as I was for five days last week. Lots of tea, ginger juice, etc.
The week ahead: Less stuffing, more veggies!
Wishing you a week of wonders!

As for your metabolism, I don't know, but it does seem like if you teach your body new things, it's likely to change? (That's total speculation--talking out my butt, as we say here in the US--but I think you may be on to something!)
