sylvanwitchPhew, how is it September already? I mean, don't get me wrong--Autumn is my favorite time of year! But, honestly, I'm not sure where the rest of the year went, you know?
Thankfully, there is one constant regardless of the season, and it's that I ask you to share your fitness journey ups and downs with us here. If you're so inclined, please do tell us how this past week has gone for you.
Weight: I'm down .2 from last week, which I will totally take.
Exercise: Yoga 4 times out of 4 days pledged; strength-training 7 times out of 3 days pledged; walking every day.
Eating plan: I think I had an evening snack only twice and both times it was popcorn. I've been extra careful about not eating too large a portion of anything, including desserts, and I definitely feel better in terms of digestion and energy. I've also been focusing on lots of fruits, veggies, legumes and beans, greens, etc. I'm excited to report that the first of the local apples are in, and they're my FAVORITE--Ginger Golds! Apple season ROCKS! So, there will be much apple-enjoying in my future.
Meditation: Yes, at least twice.
Hydration: Yes, I've been keeping track.
Sleep: Mostly this has been good. I got to bed on time on those nights when I had work the next morning. I am having some trouble staying asleep, but I'm hoping once I'm back into the regular rhythm of school life, that will subside. (It's mostly anxiety dreams waking me up, I suspect.)
The week ahead: As I mentioned last week, my plan is to lose 2.5 pounds a month for the next four months, so my goal for this week is to lose .6 (since my scale only measures in even numbers). I intend to do this by continuing the habits I've reinvested in this past week. That is to say, I'll go on as I've begun. ;-)
I'm sending you all the good vibes I can spare, my friends. We've got this (whatever 'this' is)!
