    The first flat we're staying in doesn't have scales, so I can't weigh-in this Saturday 😊 It was just a short flight, 1 hour - should have been 1h25, how'd they manage it? - but there was a wait for the gate to open and on the bus taking us to the plane, all the time standing, so my knees got a bit stiff and, with the added walking on cobblestones most of the day, my feet were achy too. A bonus though, was that booking.com gave us a free taxi to our accommodation, yay!! Hopefully, today will be fine as we're going to see what the beach is like...get my toes wriggling in some sand 🀞

    Have a good day πŸŒŠπŸ’™πŸ’¦

    So I pulled a muscle in my back over the weekend, and have not been the smartest about recovery. I went to my personal training session on Monday, and my workout yesterday morning, and even my planned workout for today. ...

    This isn't really a matter of asking for advice, and more a matter of venting to the group about mistakes I could have avoided, and a mindset I am still trying to break out of. I'll be nicer to my body over the next coming days, I swear, but my mental health would not have done well had I gone into full recovery mode.

    One word: yoga.

    A couple years ago I did something (bending over to pick up a book) and oh boy, it hurt to stand, breathe, sit, exist. The first thing I did, after a lot of ow, ow, ow, was cat-cow and up dog/ down dog. It didn't stop hurting but it improved some. Then I went to CPR training. Did not go well.

    I really hope your pulled muscle feels better fast.



    Also, it is Thurs morning and I'm missing two steps posts. Working a 10 hour day today, having lunch with a friend, might not get back here until tomorrow...you know who you are. Well, I hope you do....

    I'm kinda jealous. What beautiful pictures. And sounds fun, too.

    I am pretty pleased I came back from vacation with mostly water weight gain. I was able to get it down to around where I was with a few days of drinking lots of water. Hope everyone is doing well!

    Yesterday, my steps were got by walking through a forest to get to this beach. Beautiful fine sand but, my goodness, it was a workout on the legs and feet. Taking it easy today!

    Weigh-in-Saturday
    Previous weight: 185.6
    Current weight: 185.2

    Food:
    I did a really simplified meal planning session and I'm excited to see how it plays out this week. I also have plans to do meal prep tomorrow bright and early - before I get distracted or run out of energy. Followed by a lovely brunch! I'm still not tracking my food intake, but with ready to eat delicious food, it's been easier to make choices aligned with my goals.

    Exercise:
    Not doing much in the way of exercise recently. It's been hot and I've been really busy - and not prioritizing movement. I've consistently been getting 5000+ steps and I think come September I'll be ready to move up to 6000!

    Mindset:
    Doctoral application and working on curriculum have taken over my life. I'm feeling pulled in a lot of directions and I'm really struggling with my ADHD this week.

    Medical:
    My doctor is leaving her practice in a few days and I'm worried about how my new practitioner will be. I have a lot of weird health stuff and I'm worried they won't be able to handle all of my needs.

    Sorry, I've missed a week, been super busy and stress eating - which I'm annoyed at myself for, as have been so much better with that lately :(

    Some of these are approximations, what with my running around the house yesterday cleaning and cooking. Had a game night with friends.Lots of fun.

    We can see crazy heat and working overtime is not good for my steps.
