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!

Date: Thursday, 18 September 2025 05:16 am (UTC)I've still been struggling with heat, forest fire smoke, and work stress here, but I feel like things are turning a corner. I do have something I feel good about, though. I've been managing both an office move and a move at home, which means I've been doing a lot of lifting and carrying lately, including a full eight-hour shift at work that was pretty much all packing and moving bankers' boxes full of records and some sizable office equipment, followed by a Saturday carting books to the secondhand bookshop. I could lift everything I wanted to lift, and nothing in my body is complaining. It's a level of fitness I'm grateful to have. :D

I am sorry that you're suffering from the heat, smoke, and stress, though, and I do hope things get easier for you soon. (Of course, I also hope the crews are able to get the fires under control.)
