Fitness Fellowship Check-in Twenty

Greetings, Friends!

How has the week treated you? Do you have successes to share or challenges with which you'd like us to commiserate? Please let us know in the comments how your fitness journey has gone/is going. Of course, you are welcome to modify your goal(s) at any time, too.



Weight: Ugh. I'm up again. *sighs* This is likely diet-related (see below).

Exercise: I walked six days, did yoga and weights four times each, and did a lot of gardening yesterday to count for my lifting AND walking. As it has been for some time with me, exercise is not the issue. I am comforted by this fact; I think if I never lose another pound, I will still be so much healthier for all the various exercises I do regularly.

Eating plan: I absolutely overindulged in portions at dinners, in terms of food choices, and with desserts. So, to try to mitigate the eating factor, I've adjusted my daily calorie goal on My Fitness Pal, so I have fewer calories to work with. It's my hope that this will give me some assistance in eating less.

Meditation: Some? A little? I didn't use the app at all, and I don't know why.

Sleep: Mostly good about bedtimes.

Hydration: Yes!

The week ahead: I have to work on reducing my daily caloric intake, and I'd like to do at least one guided meditation on Fiton. Otherwise, same old, same old here.


May the week ahead give you what you most need to feel good about yourself!

Congratulations on the exercise and gardening! 100% - the strength and stamina you're nurturing in yourself is huge for your health, and you should be really proud of that.

I was hitting my mark this past week with all of my goals save for eating three meals and going to bed early. I haven't been too far off the mark with the latter - staying up until 11 or so rather than late-late - but eating was more of a challenge and took some intervention. (Basically, shopping for some very light options that I could coax myself into eating in the mornings, and prepping some instantly zappable things.)
