Above should read "as" much instead of "so" much. Wasted days because of low sleep and of course eating to stay awake. Postponed walk earlier because didn't think would make it slept full+ hour out of two per Fitbit and got promoted to 6 for the day and feeling chipper.... at midnight! 🤷♂️2

Scale up by 2.2kg...hopefully at least half of that is water/food transit...it'll be a while til I'm back to pre-vacation weight but I'll just have to suck it up and chip away until I'm back down again. There will be no starvation or extreme deprivation...just returning to my 100-cal a day deficit and being patient...
I've had a good start to the weekend with a 90 minute brisk walk and a lovely colourful salad for lunch picked fresh from my allotment, topped with feta, walnuts, sultanas and queen olives. It was yummy.2 -
Cooking up baby potatoes in the air fryer (468g, 2g oil) and from frozen a pack of a bit too long in the freezer sausages sort of hard to log because they claim just 2cal per gram and maybe they are that when cooked but not before for sure. A bit more approximately then usual today! 😉
Slept 7h 59 min ... a record these past couple of months!!!!👍1 -
So much going on! The dog walking is good - but with two sniffing animals we don't move too fast
The rowing made me feel like I was accomplishing something. I will get back to it ... today even!!!!
Glad you slept, PAV.
Hope those KG run like mad, Bella
You falling into your normal life again, Yooly? With clean carpets even ????1 -
Hi! Been MIA as not well! Back to work for two part time weeks & picked up a D&V bug & having to isolate again….thankfully recovering very slowly 😵💫….. no longer icky, but can’t stray from the toilet too far. Am wiped out!
I had only been in to the work office once since back - with a mask, hand gel & surface wipes. Think I’ll be totally WFH again 😒
Hope everyone doing ok …. Lovely sunshiny day here😎… No real appetite, but enjoyed a cheese & onion omlette & some fresh fruit salad…. Stayed down too!3 -
So sorry you’re not feeling well Ms.T! Guess you’ll have to avoid work in person? It’s always surprising to find yourself so vulnerable after isolating.
Years ago- when I was teaching- I did well all summer. But inevitably got sick within a week or two of daily contact with lots of people.
Hopefully you can build up some resistance to your fellow germy colleagues?3 -
Bad colleagues kill kill kill 😾😾😾1

Another round of spring cleaning in anticipation of in-law visits. Doubt they’ll notice in the least but I’ll have the satisfaction of a clean house for weeks.
Funny how an orderly home makes me feel calm. Perhaps it comes from a childhood and most of my adult life moving homes a LOT. So everything in its place gives me mental peace -if only temporarily.2 -
I feel the same, Yooly. One blessing of this vision issue is I don't notice as much. My house gets pretty dirty these days (floors/baseboard especially) and I don't see anything. So much more mental peace! 2

Spent yesterday with some rest, but also reorganized the cabinet above the stove (where I keep oils, vinegars, and seasonings), cleaned off the top of the fridge (snacks), and cleaned out the treats basket. So felt pretty dang accomplished and still did what I could to rest my body and mind.
This week I am starting a new idea. Every 2-3 weeks I will add 1-2 new habits. For this week it is (1) Drink more water and (2) No ordering in. They will be food and exercise habits. I want to give them time to actually become second nature before adding more things to my plate. Otherwise I get overwhelmed and just let everything drop. Hopefully this will work better!3 -
I hit the gym at 8:45, then my youngest daughter and I went and bought a Facebook Marketplace futon for her college apartment this fall. Now I'm roasting in the sun like a lizard with my middle daughter who got home from college on Saturday.1

Hi all …. Cheers for well wishes, though not up to killing colleagues…. What to eat though when no longer being ick, but and cramps are intense!
Keep going round the house with disinfectant wipes as do not want anyone else to get this …..bathrooms stink of bleach! Did feel better after doing it!
Like your habit setting plan @Athijade….. such a great idea to build established good habits gradually…. Might pinch this idea!1 -
Good plan, Athijade.

Oh my, Nic. I just had maybe ??? four hours in the sun today - walking then at the nursery - thought I was going to die! Just not agreeing with me today. I'm a bit more like a fish in the sun than a lizard
Glad you are feeling a bit better, Creamtea ... good enough to go on a germ killing spree 1 -
U get your revenge on those suckers creamtea!!!! Don't let them stick their f-ugly claws in anyone else!
Slow accumulation of habits is pretty powerful, for all of us0 -
Yup - lizard time here too Nic! Humidity like you would not believe and every day over 💯. Night time rarely gets below ⬇️ 75. Summer is upon us and will last until November…..
Wondering how my visitors arriving from New York next week will tolerate the heat. I’ve got a few outdoor activities planned! Mostly early in the day though.
Gym this morning and then scrubbing six rooms of tile floors. Maybe I’ll earn some ice cream?2 -
I'm in Alabama, so the temps aren't quite that high yet, but humid as al get out.
Today was early gym going, now me and ny two younger girls (20 and 18) are about to get on the road for an Ikea trip. Nearest one is 3.5hrs away, but they're both moving into unfurnished places this upcoming college year and Ikea is the bomb for flat pack furniture and random household things, lol3 -
IKEA is the bomb even for oldsters. My store is only an hour away and it’s huge. Love it!
Got all my floor scrubbing done. I had to get the AC low and crank up the overhead fans to get everything to dry because it’s really humid today. I need some aspirin cause the arms and shoulders are aching. But oh it’s so nice to see those spotless floors.
Incredibly I’m too tired to have my ice cream reward. Maybe tomorrow?2 -
We ended up buying 2 dressers, 2 desks, a coffee table, 2 different size cube storage things, a decent sized mirror and some odds and bobs.
We tetrised all the boxes into the back of my Outback with 2/3 of the back seat folded down, then filled in the chinks with the odds and bobs lol3 -
Oh the vagaries🤣😎
jelly of Yooly house but would never do all that to get it! 🤷♂️
Ikea: how plenty corrupts! I bought more from them (delivered) when the closest store was 4 hours drive away from my place
These days I keep saying I'll go for a hotdog or Swedish meatballs or a floor lamp but end up at Costco because Ikea is too crowded!!!! 🤯🤣🤣🤣
Even though one Ikea is a 55 minute and the other a 3h and 49 min (Google values) WALK away.
I mean a 7 minute drive might be considered almost like a mean thing to say to our poor NIC who is enjoying a deep playoff run unlike the rest of us vacationers!!!!🧐😾😾😾2 -
Where were you when I needed you Mr. PAV2 -
Wow!1

funny how things roll sometimes Yooly.... I sent you the picture as I was walking (at the tail end of my first nice walk in days) but in response to the TEXAS and ONTARIO gardening stuff discussions....
... but it sort of came out 100% correct next to your kitchen because it IS the honest truth: that pathway is CLEANER TO EAT FROM than MY kitchen is!!!!!*** but I would rather spend my time there as I don't eat from the kitchen! Dishwasher sanitizes the dishes and containers I use and microwave kills any harmful organisms! The three second rule applies and the food is out of the kitchen without touching the floor!

@PAV8888 I spent the last 5 minutes of game 7 muttering/cursing under my breath with my 20yo hockey-playing daughter contributing and periodically interjecting "just turn it off, I can't watch" lol. The relief was huge when the game was finally over.
Ikea was strangely quiet. I expected a zoo and got....nothing of the sort. I parked 5 spots from the entrance and when we were done, we were the only car loading.
We live literally 3.5 hrs from both the Memphis and Atlanta Ikeas. We chose Memphis so we didn't have to deal with the time change and risking Atlanta rush hour on the way home.
We didn't end up eating at Ikea. My GF kiddo wasn't sure what she could eat there, so we got BBQ. I had one slice of marbled brisket, 2 thin slices of smoked turkey breast and about 6 bites of tangy coleslaw. It was delicious.2 -
Beautiful kitchen pics, Yooly and PAV.2

Gonna reword my habits a bit.
1. Cut out soda and focus on drinking more water. I don't get thirsty so I get dehydrated easily. My doctor said I could also have sparkling water, iced tea, and even gatorade.
2. Eat at home more. Sometimes ordering in is not the end of the world, but we need to make sure we eat what we have at home as well.2 -
Looks like you’re really doing well with adjusting to new habits Athijade! It’s not easy but surely worth the effort 👍2
-
All of these I would watch for Calories as you haven't specified diet vs regular
Between coffee coke zero Fresca veggies and fruit the occasional soup noodles pudding or light hot chocolate and good climate 😎 I do ok most of the time!2
