My inspiration/motivation this week is something the leader of the on-line course has said a couple times, "walk as if you are beloved". I've been using it to ask myself things like - if I was beloved (which to me in part means taken care of) would there be... a pile of dirty laundry in the bedroom, dishes waiting to be washed in the sink, etc, etc, etc. Somehow thinking in terms of beloved is resonating with me more than the thought of treating myself with respect, which is also part of the course. This is actually some art work from the gal leading the course:
We had another super wet weekend: Saturday there was almost 2 inches of rain, which is really high for us. Sunday was dryer but still yucky... and I really think that by mid-April I should be able to put my puffy coat away, but nope, still wearing it.
It was a good weekend food/health wise. I managed to do at least 14 hours of intermittent fasting each day, and noticed that I get physically hungry around 8:30am. I drank a green smoothie each day and ate mostly plant based. Yesterday I even roasted a ton of veggies and actually brought a lunch of veggies and rice with me to work today. It was the third weekend with kind of funky moodiness, but also the third weekend of wet weather and the third weekend of no special plans, so I need to make this coming weekend different.
Goals check-in: I've lost the 2 pounds that I keep gaining/losing/gaining, so that's -2 out of the goal of -5: I had low steps over the weekend so I am behind on my 100 miles goal and will need to do 10,000 per day this week to catch up. I also need to drink green smoothies every day this week to get back to my goal average of 5 per week... not a bad thing. I feel much better this morning, even after just two days of good eating, so that in itself is a good motivation to keep going.
