Sounds idea, Yooly! Whereabouts in Ohio are you? My pup came from Blainesville
Bella. "Tender Ministrations" - wow. She is a lucky lady You are such a good soul.
Good for your, Creamtea. First day back must be a challenge.
I'm close enough to finished rejigging my house to call a break. I know I might completely rearrange my studio/living room. But before I make any rash decisions, I'm going to paint my friend's late dog. The dog I was supposed to paint way back, but she was still too grief stricken to pull together some reference pictures for me, so I painted her still with us dog instead. He came out well - hope the other fellow does too. They are both striking pups - and Sampson, the departed, earned a spot in my heart when I visited him last because he spent an hour paying me special attention. I did finally realize that he was interest in my pup who was sort of hiding behind me - terrified of these behemoths 2 -

I’m in northern Ohio- Cleveland and 50 mile radius. I spent most of my childhood and young adulthood here. But only visit once or twice a year for the past 50 years.3

Enjoying my last day off before my work week starts tomorrow. Hit the gym hard this morning, then a quick stop at the grocery store where I forgot 2 of the things I went for. Home, quick lunch, then went for a walk, thrnspent an hour or so by the pool, but it started to look like storming, so I headed down to the house and sat in the hot tub to soak my tortured muscles for a half hour or so. Then my daughter and I played a card game for awhile. She had to go, plans with friends, so I made dinner, then my husband helped me clean up after and we watched 4 episodes of the last season on the Bad Batch. Then I flipped to hockey, caught Carolina losing in double OT and Dallas finishing pissing away their 3 goal lead and lose in OT, lol.3

Hockey! It’s all Greek to me……. Of course I’m the same way about football, soccer, basketball, baseball and any other sports.1

Thank you, PAV. Too bad you are too decent for us to call a mother - or we could have wished you Happy Mother's Day also! 1

It's the first day of my work week. Woke up at 11, got the gym about 11:45. Worked out (absolutely slammed upper body, oof) for just over an hour. Picked up a sweet treat just for my youngest, because her brother, who doesn't bother to express preferences for things he might want from the store, keeps eating things she picks when we grocery shop 🙄. Had some breakfast, lost my earbud case, spent 10 minutes finding it. Knocked out 45 minutes on the treadmill (discovered my fitbit over-reports by about 30% when in my loose shorts pocket vs on my wrist). Now I am sitting in the hot tub soaking my sore self before I have to shower and do some stuff before going to work. Oh, and I have to stop and get gas on the way to work because I have been procrastinating in that and I won't make it to work unless I do. Whoops.3

I was ready to call it a day before even got to work!

Back from our family visit to Ohio. It will take a few days to recover! Although everyone was rejoicing over spring, I was cold all week. Came home down a pound which is short of miraculous 😇
1 -
Oh my goodness, Yooly! You must have burned extra calories staying warm???
2 -
Nope- it wasn’t the cold and rain as much as limited access to snacking! Besides the lost pound found me this morning. 😔2

Back to the gym this morning. Then a round of carpet shampooing. Brother and sister-in-law are coming for a visit next week. So I’m indulging my obsessive house cleaning 🧹.
It’s hot and humid with tornado warnings and possibly hail. Summer has arrived with a vengeance.

I'm still alive. Been having a really bad week with the chronic fatigue and headaches/migraines. So have pretty much just been working, ordering in food, and sleeping. Feeling a bit better today and will venture outside later to walk to the store.
But yea, the week has been hard. I have had multiple break downs about my health, my weight, and work. I feel like I just need some time to relax and rest. However, I hope to turn things around starting Sunday, eat better, and start taking better care of myself in general.1 -
I too have had one of those not taking proper care of myself kind of weeks. Not the best food. No "exercise" other than walking dogs. Improper sleep. So here it is, just after 1 on Friday afternoon, I'm eating a bowl from Tim Hortons, cilantra lime rice and beans with a little salad (not tooo bad) and planning on nothing but an afternoon nap. It is rainy. The dogs are tired out from their walk. My house is too much of a mess to look at So I'm drawing my door curtain and cuddling down with my little girl. I believe it will all look better after a nap ... I may even row today!!! And at least sweep.
House reorganization is almost done! And I'm getting there on preparing for the Newfoundland shuffle too. (I'm writing this so I don't feel like such a dead beat )

We've been visiting family for the past 5 days (first trip from home for pleasure since Dec 2019) and I'm afraid the scale will give me a kicking tomorrow. It'll probably take me a month to get back to my pre-holiday weight.
We were staying in a hotel, but as my niece's wedding was the main reason for the visit there was lots of sociable feasting and boozing. When planning my strategy I set myself a relatively flexible and indulgent eating/drinking goal for each of the five days which allowed me to exceed my rolling-average TDEE calories by up to 1540 calories per day (7700 excess calories in total). I knew that theoretically this might cause me to gain a kilogram of genuine fat across the 5 days - but past history suggests I'll also add at least a handful of additonal 'fake-fat' pounds of water-weight that will hang around for at least a week . Tomorrow's weigh-in will be a horror show, with an upward blip of maybe 5 or 6 pounds. Gulp.
One good thing was that I averaged 19,434 steps per day (lowest 15,775, highest 27,352) plus lots of stair-climbs so at least I was active....and I enjoyed the holiday and the feasting,...but I'm already looking forward to settling back into my usual daily eating and activity routine...
Sigh, it's so annoying that the excess pounds will probably hang around for at least a month...3 -
Bella - it’s wonderful you’ve finally had a vacation (of sorts) after all this time. I hope you enjoyed the feasting and some of the boozing too 😜.
I’ve found that getting out of my routine and even gaining a few pounds helps me reevaluate my eating habits. Post vacation I rethink what works and what needs changing.
I’m sure the excess pounds will find a new home soon!2 -
+1 on insufficient sleep with stumbling around results
Generally 1 maybe 2 high days result in less long term damage than expected. Not sure if your damage assessment is after the fact or the initial plan. It does sound like you've got it covered! 🤣
Hopefully things improve for Jade
Laurie I don't know why you would think they adventure walks don't count. Maybe puppy park party not so much but up and down cliffs different story!2
