sylvanwitchWell, 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!

Date: Wednesday, 1 January 2025 07:05 pm (UTC)Overall, 2025 was a pretty good year for me fitness-wise, especially the second half of it. In the first half, I was hampered by some injuries/pains that kept me from working out as I wanted to, but those have healed now. And of course you already know how much I enjoy having more physical work on the farm! And my crush energy has been great for working out now that we're in the winter lull on the farm. I'm also happy with having successfully lost 6 kg during this year and kept my new weight.
Thanks for hosting this fitness fellowship! <3

YAY for so many good things coming to you, helping you to lose weight, keep it off, and feel better and stronger all around. These are all amazing milestones!
I hope 2025 brings you more positive surprises where your health and fitness are concerned, and I look forward to hearing about your progress if/when you are so inclined to share. :-)
