sylvanwitchGreetings, friends!
How has the week treated you? Have you had some success with your personal goal(s)? Have there been challenges? Please share whatever you'd like, and remember: You can always adjust your goals when and as needed. No judgement--not ever. :-)
Weight: 192.6, exactly where it was last week. I did see a small drop, but alas, it didn't stick.
Exercise: Yoga 4/4, strength-training 3/3, significant steps daily. I took my first jog of the year on Thursday! I did over 2 miles total. It was wet and messy, but I had the park almost to myself and enjoyed it immensely. I got in two long rambles, too, on Friday and Saturday. I used the elliptical yesterday because it was cold and miserable out (again).
Eating plan: I've been mostly good, though I have noticed a slightly higher daily calorie total. I think it might be in part because I've been more active.
Meditation: Twice!
Hydration: Yes!
Sleep: I've been on break since Thursday, and the sleep has been glorious, as it always is when I'm off of work.
The week ahead: We're traveling for the next few days to visit friends, but we have plans for hiking or walking both days we're there. The travel days will be the more difficult ones in which to get some exercise, but I hope to at least get some steps in at rest stops. I'm bringing my yoga mat and light weights, and I'm good about exercising in the hotel room. There's a cafe with a full vegan menu a half-block from our hotel, and I am super excited about that, but we also have a full kitchen in our suite, so I'm bringing healthy food to prepare. We'll probably have dinner out each night, but I'll make good choices. And then I'll have the weekend to recalibrate before it's back to work.
Here's hoping we all have a good week full of triumphs small and/or great!

Date: Thursday, 9 April 2026 03:44 am (UTC)I woke up one day late last week, after a fairly distracted/sedentary week, to find that my body was stabbing me with knives. So I've been exercising 50-60 minutes a day since then to try and calm it down. Slowly getting there. I made some indulgent food choices over the weekend (Easter), and have got into a bad habit of having granola for snacks during the week (it sounds healthy, but is pretty sugary). I need to get back to mindful choices. At least hot cross bun season is over...

Also, I love granola, and I can still remember the first time I paid particular attention to the nutritional information on a package of it. It was a sad discovery.
I am hoping the knives stop stabbing you soon as, my friend, and that you are feeling more comfortable in your body in general. *hugs*
