sylvanwitchGreetings from the first week of June! I'm not sure where the time has gone, but we've just cross the year's halfway mark.
How does your progress look from here? Can you look back to see how far you've come? Did you expect to be closer to your goal, or are you pleasantly surprised? What unexpected events changed the pace of your progress?
Please know that you're welcome to ignore all of those questions and simply check in for the week. I've just gotten philosophical in my middle age. ;-)
Weight: I'm about where I was last week, so I guess that's fine.
Exercise: Yoga four days out of four pledged; strength-training five days out of three pledged; walking every day. My biggest accomplishment this past week was walking in our local Pride parade yesterday. It was awesome, but my feet and legs definitely complained about all that pavement when we were done!
Eating plan: I've found a way to manage my dessert craving that seems to be working. I can't honestly remember how much of what I ate this past week, but I do recall a pizza extravaganza Friday night. Otherwise, I'm mostly being pretty good? If it sounds like I'm hedging, it's because I am *so* tired and can't be arsed to look things up. (I just finished grading 24 handwritten exams with multiple parts. This means I am DONE for the year, but it also means I'm cross-eyed with fatigue.)
Meditation: SO MUCH! Seriously, I think I used the app at least four times last week. I really enjoy it. I get these quick bursts of mindfulness and relaxation.
Hydration: Yes.
Sleep: I had major anxiety about Pride, so I didn't get much sleep between Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, I've been good about getting to bed on time. (Last night, I went to bed early because I was totally wiped out.)
The week ahead: I've got exams to proctor, which means lots of walking up and down aisles, and then I'm done for the school year. I'm also behind on my gardening and yardwork, so I know what I'll be doing when I'm not at school for an exam. I am looking forward to Thursday, which is the last day I have to be in. Yay!
Here's hoping you have the weather that's best for your body wherever you are in the world this week!
