Yoga everyday this week
Wednesday check-in!
Let's talk sleep. How are you doing? I know a lot of us are waking up at 2am or 3am and staring at the ceiling. It's so common for those of us in perimenopause and menopause and it's also so exhausting. If that's you this week, you're not alone. If you slept well, share that too because we love hearing it. How'd last night go? ๐Ÿ˜” or โค๏ธ or somewhere in the middle?

I usually sleep well. I am very strict about my nighttime routine (which starts winding down around 6pm) and bedtime. I am asleep before 10:00pm and up by 6:00am if not earlier. I find if I get off schedule my sleep suffers. I am a student of Ayurveda. The time between 2am and 6am is the time of the vata dosha . Itโ€™s a time when things become light and airy and could be bringing up feelings of fear, anxiety or anger.

@Nadia Quraishi I saw what @Eloise Ansell shared. It was interesting. It always amazes me that these two very old disciplines agree on so many things. I am a firm believer in winding down! I need my sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด
Snacks
I am looking for high fiber high protein snacks (easily travelable would be great too but not necessary) ...anyone have any ideas

I like roasted edamame. 13g protein and 5g fiber.
This month's cooking class replay is up! ๐Ÿฅ’
We made two recipes that are perfect for summer. The Crunchy Chili-Lime Cucumber Salad comes together in 15 minutes and no cooking required. Cucumbers are over 95% water so it's genuinely one of the most hydrating things you can eat right now. And the Musabaha โ€” warm chickpeas in a tahini-lemon sauce โ€” is one of my absolute favorites. It looks impressive but it's so simple. High in plant protein, high in fiber, and the lemon actually helps your body absorb the iron from the chickpeas. Together they make a really complete summer meal. [๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†] Let me know if you make either of them. Also a big thank you to those who joined live! What's your summer go-to right now? ๐Ÿ’š

I made the cucumber salad as a side dish tonight. It was really good and very refreshing.
My reset for the next month
I'm back from my London vacation and while I loved all of the food I ate, I also indulged more than usual, and tbh have been indulging more in general. So I had decided before I left that I was going to do a bit of a reset when I got back. In our classroom, we have a Fat Loss Blueprint. I'm going to be following aspects of that, and bringing you along for the journey. ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—œ'๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: - Little to no sugar - High fiber - 30-40 grams per day - High protein - 20-30 grams per meal plus 1 snack - No real tracking, but if it feels like my estimates are way off or I'm not seeing results, I'll do some short--term tracking - Follow the Half Plate Method for lunch and dinner - half the plate with salad, 1/4 protein, 1/4 starchy veggies or grains - Breakfast will be smoothies with a lot of greens, berries, flaxseed, and protein powder. Some days will be chia puddings. - High volume of food - no undereating here - At least 10K steps a day - Resistance workouts twice a week for ~30 minutes (Caroline Girvan full body workouts) - Pilates 3-4 times a week (Pilates by Izzy 25 Day Challenge) - Daily arm workout (Gabby George's bridal arms series on Tiktok) I'll follow this for the next month. My main goals are to reduce the sugar cravings, have my clothes fit a little better, and gain some muscle. I'm very anti-diet culture and don't usually talk about weight but I would be happier at a few pounds less. And yes the above does sound like a lot, but I generally do follow much of this already and I want to be a bit more intentional and consistent. Would you like me to share more this month? -Let me know if you have any questions. Would love to hear what you think. I'm also sharing this for accountability!

This is impressive and motivating. I, too, have been slumping lately and am not comfortable. It does look like a lot but I can see how itโ€™s also do-able. Please share how itโ€™s going. Iโ€™m cheering you on.
