sylvanwitchHere we are with another week under our belts! Here's hoping that belt fits comfortably, the way we most want it to fit.
As usual, please do share how your fitness journey has been and what, if any, your goals are for the week ahead. Please know that you are always welcome to drop, add, or edit existing goals. This little community is for you; make it the best fit you can.
Weight: 207.4, down 1.6 from last week and .4 from the week before. Win!
Exercise (days done/days pledged): Walking 7/7; Yoga 4/4; Weights 5/3. I finally felt strong enough after yesterday's yoga session to adjust the difficulty level of my workouts, so I'll be moving to medium for the week. We'll see how it goes.
Eating plan: I've been pretty good about portions, not snacking or eating too large a dessert portion, etc. I've continued to try to eat plenty of veggies and fruit, nuts, legumes, brown rice, etc. I'm on the right track, and it feels pretty sustainable.
Meditation: Yes! I did some on my own and I also used the breathing app on my fitness watch. (I didn't know this was a thing until quite recently.)
Hydration: Yes.
Sleep: Well...last week, I consistently went to bed later than I should have, largely because I was anxious about attending the rally on Saturday. Last night, I made sure I was in bed on time, and I intend to keep it up until break, which begins on Saturday.
The week ahead: This week should be good, with fewer stressors, though we are expecting snow tomorrow, which is kind of depressing. My break starts after school on Friday, and I am so looking forward to sleeping in and getting in some good walks.
I'm sending out good vibes for all of us that the week we're in is a good one.

Re: 💙
Date: Thursday, 10 April 2025 12:20 am (UTC)I absolutely know what you mean about the ways in which we lie to ourselves to justify continued bad food choices. I definitely have waves of time when I am using similar excuses to justify eating something I don't need and sometimes may not even really want (like more of something--I sometimes have trouble having just *some* of something, and I'll tell myself that if I don't eat the rest, what's left won't be enough for "next time." Ugh. I am SO bad sometimes!).
All of this is to say that I am with you in the struggle, and I'm here whenever you're ready to start a stricter plan and get back to more regular exercise.
