Hello Team!
It's been a good week despite the slight increase in weight. As I've mentioned before, I'm currently living in Rwanda on an an agriculture college campus about 45 km south of the capital city Kigali. Although I have relatively modern amenities in our apartment, the campus is in a very rural part of Rwanda. Getting up to Kigali is a treat. My husband had some meetings in Kigali on Monday and Tuesday so we got to spend a couple of days up there at the Marriott. We met some friends for lunch at an Indian restaurant on Sunday in Kigali. There is a scrumptious breakfast buffet included with the stay and we went out for dinner at an Ethiopian restaurant on Monday night. It was all so delicious and I love food! I'm pleasantly surprised I only gained 0.2 pounds.
I stayed active, though, by using the fitness center for running on the treadmill and strength training and just walking around the neighborhood. I would have gone swimming, but it was rainy and not warm enough for my liking.
Some friends got me a gift certificate to the spa and salon in the hotel and Monday became a relaxing self-care day for me, complete with body scrub, full body massage, facial and mani-pedi. I don't usually go for facials or manicures on my own, generally only if some one gifts it to me. As I rested that day, I had to work to not feel guilty about having such a relaxing day. I think than many of us may sometimes be hard on ourselves and we may not always show ourselves some grace.
Moral of the story: take time for self-care, you deserve it.
I know we are a weight loss support team and often our focus is on exercise and calorie restriction, but rest and recovery is just as important as exercise. Be kind to yourself. You work hard and you deserve a break every now and then.
Peace,
Jec

I've got to get more active! I've been good at watching the calories but can't get my butt moving when I'm at home.
I got my one thing done on Friday ☝️
Today's one thing was to not eat sweets or chocolate. So far, so good.2 -

I feel good about this week's weigh in. I did a lot of walking on Monday and Tuesday when the peer reviewers were here for accreditation plus I did my normal 3x week in my aqua fitness courses. Onward and downward!

Yay, it's midnight and I didn't eat any sweets or chocolate (Saturday's one thing) 😀 I will not have any tomorrow either! I had 2 oatcakes with cheese this afternoon and, in the evening, I had fresh pineapple. Those were the only snacks and I ate lots of vegetables at lunch and dinner (slept too late to bother with breakfast).2

Sorry for the late. Being a slug yesterday got away from me. Went to the 'local' botanical garden Friday as they had a huge orchid exhibit and then to see the Glen Miller Orchestra last night and they were fabulous.
In my head, I have a picture of what an orchid is but there were so many different types. And Glen Miller has been gone for 80 years but his orchestra is still playing and being amazing; new people come into it, change things up a little, stay true to the genre, but it is still his orchestra. So I'm taking two things from this weekend: none of us is just one thing and just because change is different and uncomfortable doesn't mean it can't be amazing.
@cyndiesstuff my one thing today is to recommit to me. Exercise and diet have to improve.
There are 14 different types of orchids on the left. The orchids on the bottom right are no bigger than the tip of my pinkie finger.6 -

Busy week as usual, but the first one in a long time where I have been mindful about my food intake. I really must fit into my beautiful clothes again! 😀5 -

I need to stop taking advantage of the fact that I can enter my updated weight on the spreadsheet without making a post here - need the accountability that comes with making information public. So anyway...

I could absolutely blame this on the migraine, if I wanted to. But I don't. I know I've been off my good eating habits as of lately and I need to claim responsibility for that. My feelings are delicious, and I haven't restrained myself from eating them.
On the topic of the migraine: I have been very fuzzy the past couple days, which has meant I can't spend as much time in front of screens as I usually do. It has also prevented me from going to the gym, because I don't want to be that person who gets dizzy and collapses in the middle of the weight floor. So I've done a couple more mild workouts from home, tried a new studio that incorporates yoga into their classes, and discovered that exercise didn't exacerbate my symptoms... resulting in a 90 minute workout this morning. Might have overdone it a little bit, but it felt nice to sweat.5 -

Good afternoon all..can't believe it is Sunday already...traveled to a martial arts tournament on Friday and competed on Saturday and then we drove back afterwards (well after dinner out with our instructor and his family). I earned 3 bronze medals in the group I competed with. Didn't do too well on staying on my diet when we travelled, but back at it today. Probably won't be doing the challenge this week...I hate cleaning.
Tried to post a picture of the medals but I can't figure it out5 -

And the good news is that I have completed my training and will not be sitting in a class room for hours at a time. I expect much more movement this week, hitting my 7 k goal every day.
The time changes next Saturday and I for one can not wait. I come alive this time of the year!

In Europe, our clocks don't go forward until the last Sunday of March, so we'll be waiting to feel the springiness for a couple of weeks after you 🌷🦋2
