sylvanwitchWelcome back to another week of gentle accountability, friends! I hope the days have been treating you well and that you've been finding time to breathe and center your needs.
If you're feeling it, please do share how your week had been, fitness-wise and/or otherwise. We're here to listen and not to judge.
Weight: 192.4, back to where it was for my Week 9 check-in, so a total of 20 pounds lost since 1 September 2025. Yay!
Exercise: I did yoga 4/4, strength-training 3/3, and walked every day. We got in a long stroll, in particular, on Saturday, when we attended an indoor gardening and landscaping event, and yesterday, I took myself out for a brisk walk in the warmish air. (Today, we're dropping from 59F to 17F, so there will be no walking outdoors, briskly or otherwise. ;-)
Eating plan: It definitely helped that I'd made a pan of onions, peppers, and mushrooms last Sunday. I ended up incorporating those into several meals, and it made for easy, quick, nutritious bowls and salads. I made another big pan on Saturday for this week. I did splurge on Friday night, but I walked it off on Saturday, and I'm mostly trying to be easy with myself where the occasional take-out meal is concerned. (In this case, it was veggies and hummus on a whole wheat sub roll. The content wasn't the problem--the portion size was, and that's all on me.)
Hydration: Yes!
Meditation: Yes!
Sleep: Mostly? These weeks are stressful at work, so I've been having some fairly unsettling anxiety dreams. It sucks to wake up worried about things being worse than real life already is, and for the most part, I'm muddling through it all, but honestly, brain, could you just give me a break when I'm sleeping?
The week ahead: More of the same, with hopefully fewer stress dreams. (I won't plan on fewer stressors because that's not in the cards for this week. *sighs*)
I'm sending us all the good vibes I can spare, so our week is a good one, full of little victories and things that make us happy to be alive.

>>And YAY for home and garden shows and flea markets and all the other good inside stuff that gives us a chance to walk when the weather outside is frightful.<<
I'm loving Middlefork. This is the second of their shows that we've hit and it's terrific. They're a now-traveling event made from the remnants of a show that got pushed out of its old venue.
I also love the fact that over the last several years, various styles of holiday market have spread around my area -- so many that we have to choose between ones on the same day. I usually pick the bigger ones or places we've known to be great in the past. Two of the best got snowed out last year, but we had gotten to others, so it wasn't a total disappointment.
