Well, we made it to the end of another year of triumphs and tragedies, my friends.
You are welcome to share a retrospective of your year's fitness journey here or simply check-in for the last full week of 2024. As always, there will be no judgement from any of us who have made this place a little weekly home.
Weight: I'm still on our mini-vacation, so I have no idea, but I'd imagine my weight has gone up, since we've been eating snacks and heavier meals, etc. Still, I have also tried to have salad and fruit each day, with some success, so perhaps it's not as bad as I'm expecting.
Exercise: I think I did yoga every day but one last week, and I definitely walked A LOT. The friend I'm visiting is a rambler like me, so we incorporated long walks into each of the three days we spent together, and T. and I made a point of getting in a walk the evening we arrived at the hotel, too.
Eating plan: See above, re: weight. I've been fiddling with the WeightWatchers app to see how things stack up and have come to the realization that I'll have to radically alter what I eat if I don't want to be hungry all the time. That's okay, though, because the program rewards fresh fruits and veg, legumes and beans, oats, etc., and those are all things I should be eating more of anyway. For this past week, since I've spent a good chunk of it on vacation, the food choices have been inconsistent, let's say. ;-)
Sleep: I never sleep entirely well while away, but I made it a point to go to sleep when I was tired and to try to stay in bed when I woke up too early.
Hydration: Mostly? My best friend is a tea-drinker, and I have a little electric travel kettle, so we had lots and lots of tea on our visits to the room between walks.
The week ahead: I'll post my new goals and plans on Wednesday with the FF25 introductory post.
I'll post the 2025 welcome on Wednesday (1/1/25 GMT -5), if you are thinking of joining or re-joining us. Until then, Happy New Year! May 2025 be better than a reasonable person might expect!
