Even though I got a sunburn on day 1 and sicker every day after, I'm so grateful for the ability to travel and actually take PTO instead of bringing work with me. It gave me time to think about personal style and dressing as a celebration of my body, staying off the phone (started an anti-scroll random journal), giving myself things to look forward to, looking at homes... I also had to reset on weight loss trajectory- I only need to lose 1.75lb a week to reach my goal this year. It's a constant reminder that my mind works on speedrun mode which is counterproductive in this case.

I'm finally feeling recovered enough to get back in the gym, so activity plan for the week:

Sun: 6mi walk around SW/SE DC [done]

Mon: Treadmill walk + dance class

Tues: Lift

Wed: Walk + dance class

Thurs: Lift

Fri: 🤷‍♀️

Sat: Abs + cardio

March is going pretty well so far, some wins for me:

paid off my credit card

went to the spa with my friend (we've been talking about going for a while)

went to a music event outside my comfort zone and had a great time

making more plans with newer friends

finished my first grad class

bought comfortable jeans

increased my squat weight
