sylvanwitchWe've made it another week, my friends, and I'm hoping it's been a good one for you.
Please feel free to share as much or as little of your fitness journey as you'd like. You know we're not the judging sort around these parts. :-)
Weight: 207.6, down another pound from last week. I've lost 4.8 pounds in September.
Exercise: I did yoga four of four times pledged, strength-training three of three times pledged, and walked every day. Sunday was another heavy yardwork day, too.
Eating plan: I've been good. Even when I have a meal that's not entirely healthy, I'm careful about how much I eat and when I eat it. Mostly, though, I'm rocking the veggies. I roasted broccoli, two kinds of potatoes, and butternut squash yesterday and then sauteed onions and bell peppers in one pan and mushrooms in another. I have lots of healthy choices for meals this week! :-)
Meditation: Yes! Twice or three times, I believe.
Hydration: Yes! So much water.
Sleep: This is one area I've been less-than-good about. I've been staying up a little later to read, and that's definitely having an affect on my energy levels. I *cannot* let this become a habit, or I'll be too tired to function properly.
The week head: Get to bed on time! Otherwise, keep on with what I've been doing.
May the week ahead be a good one, giving you what you most need to be happy and healthy!

Or roasting the vegetables first in olive oil and herbs and then blending them. For depth of flavour, things like miso paste, marmite, mushroom paste, vegan Worcestershire sauce etc add an umami character profile. It's about layering I think.
