sylvanwitchHey, there, friends!
How has the past week been for you, fitness-wise or any otherwise? Please do share as much or as little as you'd like with us. You know we're a non-judgmental group hereabouts. :-)
Weight: I'm at 209.6, which is 2.2 pounds down from last week! \o/
Exercise: For the first time in a long while, I only managed three sessions of yoga instead of my usual four, largely because of my schedule and tiredness. I did walk every day, though, and did strength training five times. Yesterday, I did fairly strenuous yardwork for more than four hours and was completely knackered when I finally came inside, so I had no energy left for what should have been the week's fourth yoga session.
Eating plan: I have honestly been rocking this! I made a big pan of beans, greens, and potatoes with various spices and have been having that for dinner with rice or in whole wheat tortillas. A trip to the farmer's market on Saturday has yielded a ton of veggies, so I'm all set for more healthy entrees and lunches. And I feel good, too.
Hydration: Yes!
Sleep: I've been very good about getting to bed on time on weeknights and being off-screen before bedtime.
Meditation: No, which I have to rectify this week.
The week ahead: More of the same (and four/four yoga sessions).
I'm sending you good energy for a week that gives you what you need!

I made an interesting Georgian (Eastern Europe) pinto bean dish over the weekend that also contained walnuts, pomegranate juice and blue fenugreek, which might sound a little unusual, but was lovely and tasty.

I hope you get there this week, but I also hope you know there's absolutely no judgement here if you don't. Some nights, I'm so tired I just slump into my chair, still in my work clothes, until I can bestir myself to get up and change and do the "have-to"s, so to speak.
Big *hugs* to you and lots of luck with continuing your fitness quest!
