    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

    Weigh-in-Saturday
    Starting weight: 81.7 kg/180.12 lb
    Previous weight: 80 kg/176.37 lb
    Current weight: 79.8 kg/175.93 lb

    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.

    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).

    A week of no cardio is showing its effects. I need to stop making excuses and get my game on.

    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 🌷🦋
