Today's Goals - What are yours?

Stay in the calorie budget
Manage my situational depression and anxiety in healthy ways.
Paint the stairwell (the wall had a ton of dings and scuffs from ten years of up and down, and we're having house photos taken Tuesday for eventually selling the house whenever the quarantine lifts.)
Finish doing the dishes from last night's Chinese feast
Cook lunch: We are having pulled pork in BBQ sauce on buns, chips, and pickles. I make vast quantities of pulled pork up and bag it dry, and then we thaw it at need.
Cook dinner: we are having spaghetti and meatballs and pan-seared zucchini. Boyfriend had WLS so can't do pasta, but he says the red sauce and meatballs (I make them without bread and give him a few more) on top of the zucchini is so good that he doesn't miss the pasta.
Finish the laundry and fold and put away.
Go to the store for the coffee and tea and the lunchmeat that Girlfriend just decided she wants to exclusively eat right now. (roll eyes)
Plant the next pot of cat grass. One growing and accessible, and one growing and inaccessible so the poor thing has a chance to recover from the mowing.

Stay in the calorie budget--not quite the end of the day yet, but dinner was pretty solid, so I think I'm good.
Manage my anxiety and depression: I'm accepting that for a while I'm just going to need to have an afternoon nap, and plan accordingly.
Still working on the dishes, not helped by today's nap, but I have all evening.
Stairwell's done. I want to get a tiny brush out of my art kit and touch up a spot or two where the pale tan paint dripped on the dark brown trim, but that's a five minute job. It'll take longer to clean the brush than do the work.
The laundry is still in process, but I can probably get it done tonight.
I went to the store, so we're set for a bit I hope.0 -
Today my goal is to get my water intake up, a nutrition expert on tv has just said dehydration slows your body down and since working at home without a water cooler I've been drinking very little.1

I need to drink more water and eat less food!1 -
Today several things arrived from Amazon, so I put the bed skirts on the beds (which lets me hide all the crap one actually uses in the bedroom in boxes under the bed when photos are taken and showings are happening), got the leisure bras that will let me do overnight corseting comfortably, and got a pair of sandals that will let me use the lift in my left shoe. I have a leg length difference, and my back is now to the point where if I can't put the lift in it I won't buy the shoe, because I won't wear it.0

To Do List for Saturday, April 11
Must Do List --
Log everything in MFP
Drink at least 8 water
Do at least 2 sets of 5 minute walk
Do 15 minute morning stretches
Do 30 min chair yoga routine
Find a way to block 2 cold air returns to keep the &^%$ cat out of them -- still need to do
Need To Do --
Turn mattress and put on new sheets and pillowcases -- Tues, still need to do
Box up remaining DGD's items (1/2 already done) -- Wed, one box to go
Clean cat boxes and clean up their room -- Thur-Fri-Sat, still need to do
Like To Do --
Work in yard doing cleanup for a bit -- at least 15 minutes
Do one load of laundry: wash, dry, fold, put away
Granddaughter is home and messed up my routine. Did not get in all of the little walks and only about half of the yoga routine. Seems like any disruption can throw my routine off ... so, back at it today I hope (she's home all day today). Well, Wed & Thur were a bust for my routine because of DGD. Friday was a bust because my attitude sucked. Logged food etc but did not do any exercise and did not post in any threads. Was in a really pissy mood. Decided I needed to take the day off and just not worry about it. Sooooooo, back at it today!!
Have a great day Y'all!!

@cesse47:We all have those days. The wonderful thing about this is that every day is a new chance to do it better. I've been having some moodiness and inertia myself, and I put it down to the whole mess we're in with the pandemic. We'll all do better.1

Today I want to get the upstairs rooms we use less set for photography, and generally sweep and dust up there. Boyfriend is responsible for his electronics room and his home office; Girlfriend is responsible for her room. I'm responsible for everything else. Some of it involves putting away all the debris of daily life and so I won't do that til Tuesday morning after everyone has showered and dressed. And some of it involves setting out artificial flowers with tall grassy foliage that is just irresistible for certain young black cats, so I'm waiting on that until Tuesday morning and the ability to put the cat in her carrier and out in the garage for the photos. She is a sweetheart, but gregarious and loud, and she doesn't need to be in the pictures we're using to sell the house.

I agree. I'm hoping since it's sunny today I can get outside and meander around my yard a bit. Being in lockdown is bad enough, but add not being able to go outside (cold, rain, snow, etc) and it's almost claustrophobic!
Have a good day!! 1 -

Sowwy! It's totally getting done today, so will be stricken from the list tomorrow and will vanish (both in words and substance likely)1 -
@tinkerbellang83 I need to get groceries today, and bananas will probably end up in my cart, though that means it won't be until the weekend that the bread (or cream pie...or banana pudding....ooooh that sounds really good) gets made; gotta let those suckers get appropriately ripe!1

Yeah on account of taking a couple of days extra to make mine (originally planned to make it Saturday) my bananas were almost ready to walk on their own. Anyway it's in the oven now and has around 30 mins left to go. Added some dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts too.0 -

In a better frame of mind today ... seem to be out of my funk, thank goodness. Woke up this morning at 4:30 so I'm sure I'll need a nap later today. Feel alert and energized right now so think I'll do my stretches and walking before I eat breakfast. It would be nice to get them out of the way.

In the office today, so not a huge amount of stuff on the to-do list today. Already done weights, 5000 steps and put the chicken in the slow cooker. Left the OH to sort out the laundry.

Had a day off from To Do lists today. Did a short walk this afternoon and have pottered around a bit inbetween work emails, so should probably have around 5-6000 steps still and will probably do a little yoga before bed.1 -

I'm not going to get the two patterns cut out. The pilates was more difficult than I thought, even if it didn't drive that heart rate up!
I know I have more steps than what is recorded because I had to charge my device. Still, I'm over my calorie limit right now by about 20 calories and under the protein limit by 12, so since its way too cold to walk outside, I think I'm going to hit the elliptical again. I shouldn't have tasted that darn pie - and all I had was a half piece, too!

I'll make the rolls on Wednesday on my usual baking day, and do the sheets on Tuesday when I clean the upstairs. I'm just a lot tireder than usual lately. I think it's the stress of the pandemic.1
