sylvanwitchHello, Friends!
How'd the week go for you? I hope you have good news to report, but even if the week was a wash, don't despair--there's another week ahead to give you time to achieve your goals. Please do share, if you're so inclined, and know that there's no judgement here, only support.
Weight: I'm down more than 1.6 pounds this week--yay! As I suspected, last week's big uptick was a weird blip as my body adjusted to getting up earlier for the workshop I was teaching. Now that I'm back to my summer hours, so to speak, the scale is reflecting those habits. I didn't really *lose* anything, of course, but I'm happy at least not to have gained.
Exercise: I did yoga four times, did strength-training four times, and walked every day, though some days more than others. We got out for a (very hot) hike on Saturday, which was much needed, but yesterday was too hot to be outside longer than it took me to water everything, so I got on the elliptical in the evening. That's my plan for today, too, since it is even hotter today.
Eating plan: I've been pretty good, making mostly healthy choices and eating lots of fruit and veg and mostly avoiding overeating and indulging in too many sweets.
Hydration: Yes, absolutely.
Sleep: My sleep has been epic this past weekend as my body was reminded it could go back to my night owl ways. Even during the week, however, I had a lot of success with going to bed at my "regular" school time and getting up without trouble in the mornings for work. We'll see if I have the same success transitioning to the actual school year, when I have to be up an hour earlier than I was up all last week. *sighs*
Meditation: Yes! I finished the series of short meditations from my yoga app and returned to my favorite soothing voice from FitOn.
The week ahead: We're on "staycation" beginning tomorrow, which will include some eating out. We'll see how it goes, but I think I'll be fine. The heat tends to reduce my appetite, and we'll be outside a lot. Still, I'm not going to resist indulging in, for example, fair food, since we're hitting our county fair this week.
May your week be a good one, whatever that means for you.

Re: Well ...
Date: Monday, 11 August 2025 10:15 pm (UTC)Hauling that much hose sounds extremely punishing, and I don't blame your back a bit. But what can you do, right? We're having the same sort of weather here, so I definitely empathize with your efforts to keep things alive.
I do hope you get rain soonest, so you can take a break from moving all that heavy hose around!
