sylvanwitchGreetings from the once-again-snowy north. *sighs*
How did your week go, friends? Whatever your answer, please pick a victory and share it here. I think we can all use the reminder that joy comes in packages of all sizes. Of course, you're also welcome to share your non-victories. Share whatever you'd like, in fact! :-)
Weight: 194.0, down .4 from last week.
Exercise: 4/4 yoga, 3/3 strength-training, steps every day! I or we got outside for walks five out of seven days this past week, and we walked at a mall on one of the other two. Yesterday, I used the elliptical.
Eating plan: I was on break, so there was/were more takeout and treats than usual, but I still did my best to be moderate in portion sizes and not overeat. I am definitely proud of myself for not overindulging. Typically, I see a significant weight gain after a break, but I did well this time. Yay! :-)
Meditation: Yes!
Hydration: Good!
Sleep: I sleep so well during breaks, when my work-related anxiety has a chance to dissipate. I did my best to get to bed at reasonable hours, though I didn't quite manage it on a couple of nights, but I did get to bed on time last night, so I expect I'll be back on track, sleep-schedule-wise, until the next break.
The week ahead: Back to the grind, with all the usual goals in place.
Wishing the week ahead is a good one for us all.

Date: Tuesday, 24 February 2026 02:19 pm (UTC)YAY for not having gained weight, though I also appreciate that that's a double-edged sword in this case. I am glad your work (though anxiety-inducing and sometimes soul-killing as it can be) helps to keep you active, but I'm sorry you're having issues at all.
Boy, do I hear you about snacking. I am *such* an emotional eater, though when I'm anxious, I can't eat at all, so I guess I'm lucky in that regard. (Let's put "lucky" in big air quotes. *rolls eyes at self*) But yeah, snacking is one of my areas of struggle, so I completely relate to wanting to reach for something that gives you a temporary sense of contentment.
I'm not on Samsung Health, but I hope someone might be. It does help to have connections on your health app, right? (My husband and I have the same fitness watches, so he's my only connection on that app.)
