"In my craft or sullen art. . ."

This is a day late, but that's okay, right? I count it a win that I'm even gathering the energy to write it. Honestly, RL can stop being relentless any time now. *sighs*

Enough whining, though. How has the week been for you? Have you had success with your fitness goal(s)? Please do feel free to share in the comments. As always, I'll put my personal update in the cut.

May the week ahead bring you the time and energy you need to be good to your best self!

I don't know what your life is like these days, but I say fervently that I hope it's nothing like mine. I don't mean to sound dire: The world's on fire, so my own little conflagration means very little. All I can do is keep beating at the flames and, if I can, help others put out their own. If this tiny community here helps at all, then I've done something.

So, with no further ado, please share, if you're so inclined, how you're doing these days. Your comments can be physical fitness related, but you're also welcome to just...share, you know? Whatever. We're here. I'm listening.

*hugs* and hope for our collective and individual fates, my friends.

On 4/16, I was laid low by COVID, which my husband gave to me for spring break, and while I am no longer contagious, I'm still struggling to regain strength and stamina and have an annoying cough of the phlegmy throat variety. As a consequence of COVID and a host of other personal troubles, I not only fell off the fitness wagon but also just sort of disengaged from many activities, largely because I had to jealously guard what energy I've had.

I am slowly improving, as is my husband. We're both back to work, though that, too, is a significant struggle for each of us in different ways. And, of course, we're hoping that there are no long-term effects.

However, I did not want to abandon the Fitness Fellowship, so I will resume our regularly scheduled Saturday update posts with this one, which is a day late.

Please share how you've been the past three weeks, what your fitness highs and lows have been, and any plans you have moving into a new season.

May the week ahead be a good one for you all! Thank you for hanging in there with me! :-)

It's been a week, my friends, but here we are on the other side of it. YAY!

Please do share how your fitness journey has been lately--good, bad, indifferent, nonexistent. No judgement, only support here.

Sending you lots of positive vibes for the week ahead, friends!

This has been an even longer week than the last one, which seems physically impossible, as in a violation of the laws of physics. ;-)

I hope it's been treating you gently.

As usual, if you'd like to share your ups and downs, fitness-wise or otherwise, that's what this space is for.

Until next week, take care and be well!

Friends, if you're making progress or holding the line or have even backed off your original fitness goals for 2022, please know that your response is the correct one, no matter what it has been. This is... *gestures at world*

Please don't make this fellowship another pressure point in your life, BUT, if you'd like or if it's something that helps you, please feel free to share how you're doing, fitness-wise or in any other way. We're here to listen and not to judge.

Be kind to yourself this week. Remember to breathe if you can. *hugs*

Hey, everybody! (I always hear that in Fozzie the Bear's voice.) How's it going today? I hope you're all hanging in there.

Here's the spot to share how your fitness journey has been and what you've got planned for the near and/or far-flung future. As always, we're here to listen and not judge. *offers preemptive hugs*

I hope the week ahead offers you moments of peace, relaxation, and some of the little joys that make life a wonder.

Welcome, friends, to another check-in! I hope you've had a good week, but even if it's been rough, we're here to listen and not judge.

Please do share with us your ups and downs and let us know what you're thinking about for the week ahead.

Wishing you good things for the week to come!

We still have snow here, which means I could be snowshoeing, except it is frigid out there, so I'll have to hope for somewhat warmer temperatures. Also, I have handwritten midterm exam essays to grade, which is keeping me indoors as well. But all is otherwise well here, and I hope the same can be said for you.

If you're feeling it, please do let us know how your past week has been and what, if any, plans you have for the week ahead. Feel free to stop by any time, and don't ever feel obligated to comment if you're not feeling it. :-)

Sending you sunshine and smiles for the week to come!

We've done it! We've made it a week into 2022!

How are you doing so far? What, if any, challenges have you experienced? Have you found anything giving you the strength you need to keep on keeping on? Share your ups and downs with us, if you're so inclined.

And, if you're late to the party, please join in now. Anyone can join at any time. No pressure!

May the week ahead bring you the strength you need to reach whatever your goals might be.
