sylvanwitchHey! We've made it through another week. I hope it's been a good one for you, full of opportunities to meet your personal goals.
As always, please share as much or as little of your progress, plans, and goals as you'd like here. We're here to listen, not to judge.
Weight: 210.6, up 3.2 pounds from last week. It's all about the eating (see below).
Exercise: I did have one day on which I did only yoga, no other exercise, but otherwise, I got at least 40 minutes a day. I did yoga five times last week but only lifted twice (my goal is three times). I got in some good walks, though, particularly on Saturday, when we did three miles in the snow at a favorite park. That was a highlight.
Eating plan: So, I did a lot of comfort/stress eating this week (for personal reasons), and it was also my winter break, which meant less structure around what to eat and when. I went WAY off the rails with snack foods and sweets.
Sleep: Ha. Well, I mean, I did get some sleep, and I mostly got to bed at a reasonable hour, but my sleep was often plagued with stress dreams, very broken up.
Meditation: I got to sleep a couple of nights by boxing my breath, which helped to focus my racing thoughts and let me fall asleep.
Hydration: Mostly, yes? It's all a blur, honestly.
The week ahead: I am firmly back on the wagon, food-wise, this week, and I don't anticipate too much struggle to avoid snacking. I hope to lose most of what I gained by next week's check-in, but we'll see.
I'm wishing you a solid week of progress, friends!

Date: Friday, 28 February 2025 04:34 am (UTC)It was a high-stress week here, and I'm just doing my best to ride it out. Keeping track of things to share here has definitely helped, as I think if I wasn't, I'd definitely have a "fuck it, let's just leave the wagon in the ditch, strip off, and go live with the bears" reaction.
As it was:
Three Meals a Day: 4/7
30 Minutes of Movement: 6/7
Pescatarian: 7/7
No Packaged Sweets: 7/7
No Caffeine: 7/7
Stretch Before Bed: 5/7
Bedtime Adherence: 0/7
But, guess who's going to bed immediately after sending this? This week has already been going a skosh better.

Thank YOU for the support and encouragement and the hugs, which I'm returning here: *HUGS*
