Fitness Fellowship 2024: Week 49 Check-in

[sylvanwitch]

Hello, Friends!

I hope the week that was has been a good one for you. Please share your fitness successes and less-than-successes with us, as usual. No judgement, just support. :-)



Weight: Down from last week, but that was a weird upward blip, so I guess it's stable?

Exercise: I did yoga four times this past week, at least three of those sessions being 20 minutes long. I walked every day, sometimes in the hallways at work, sometimes on the elliptical when it was too yucky outside to venture out, and once actually outside.

Eating plan: I continue to eat what I want but try to keep it within reason, with my goal until 1 January to be maintaining rather than gaining. I have to overhaul everything when we get to the new year, but for now, I'm just trying not to eat too much, period.

Hydration: Good.

Sleep: Oh, I had TWO snow days, which made for a four-day weekend, and my sleep was EPIC! I have only five more work days until my holiday break, and I am VERY much looking forward to that.

The week ahead: More of the same.



I'm sending you all the good vibes I can spare, friends.

My parents have a split level house. I'm in for 4 weeks of running steps a jillion times. Surely that'll help

[sylvanwitch]

It does, indeed, sound like you're going to get a workout in over the holiday!

[cornerofmadness]

oh definitely

Good luck with maintaining.

I had a pretty good week. Some fasting, some exercise.

This week, I'm mostly just trying to make it to Friday. I am in serious need of a break.

I'm glad the yoga is still working out for you. The Pilates class I did tonight was covered by a different teacher and she does a lot more yoga poses, like variations of the the warrior pose. She's pretty brutal with holding positions and doing bodyweight exercises. I'm experiencing some deep level aching in my muscles! It's a good feeling though :)

[sylvanwitch]

I know what you mean about the good kind of ache! Yay! I'm so glad you're continuing with the habits that make you feel good. I also hope you make it to Friday. (I woke up already writing conversations in my head with two particular students who just cannot be arsed to respond to messages, and that proved prophetic for a day full of kids just not really listening. *sighs*)

Big *hugs*! May the time move swiftly, and may we both arrive at Friday without having said something actionable! Lol!

(Speaking of holding poses, today the app suggested a pose that is physically impossible for me and will be for some time--a full vertical split. "Medium" level, my ass! ;-)

Congrats on the week! I was derailed from going out on the weather front a couple of times this past week, but I've started to wrangle by sleep schedule back into order, which I'm very glad about.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! I was especially happy to get some extra sleep, and I am hoping YOU get the sleep you need this week, too. YAY for getting more sleep! I'm sorry about the weather, though, and I do hope it's maybe cooperating a little better for you now. I keep telling myself that it's only a few days more of the long dark and then the light starts slinking in a little earlier, lingering a little later. :-)
