    To Do List for Thursday, April 16

    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

    Need To Do --
    Clean cat boxes and clean up their room -- still need to do
    Complete grocery delivery list
    Pay monthly bills

    Like To Do --
    Work in yard doing cleanup for a bit -- at least 15 minutes, may reach 40 today so will try
    Do one load of laundry: wash, dry, fold, put away

    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.

    Have a great day Y'all!! :)

    Sounds like a great plan!...I need to make a list and then stick to it lol

    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.

    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.

    TO DO

    elliptical session - done
    aerobic session - done
    laundry
    change oil & filters in riding mower
    mow grass
    weed-whack & trim
    clean exercise mats

    the aerobic session was brutal; I've done this one before, but I really had to push to get through it, and there near the end, my body was begging to slow down before the timer was up, but I made it through. Now that I'm done with it, I do feel better. Afterwards, I had brunch or second breakfast if you want to call it that :) Made the Heuvos Rancheros recipe that was on the blog page a while back, except instead of black beans, I used garbanzo beans. I've got it figured for a single serving, and I added a steak-ums to it for extra protein. I enjoyed it and the extra fiber boost from the beans! Would probably taste really good with sausage or bacon, too :)

    clean exercise mats

    Everything but the mats, but I was tired by the time evening rolled around and just didn't feel up to it. I mowed both mine and my neighbor's yards, and while I hit the majority of it with a riding mower, the neighbor's yard is on a hillside and the back and one side can't be mowed with a riding mower. Its so steep that you can't walk a mower side ways on it, either. I've found the best way to get it all is to force the mower up as far as I can get push it from the bottom of the hill, and then go up top and push the mower down the hill for the rest. That takes a LOT of muscle power! My mower's deck is shot and I can't raise the thing up and trying to force it up that steep bank was a workout and a half. Then I worked my legs as well as my arms when I went up top and pushed it down and pulled it back up to finish the bank off. It's a workout, let me tell ya!

    But it looks really good right now :) too bad it won't last

    Sounds really scary. I'm such a klutz I wouldn't dare try to do this. WTG!!

    The upstairs is dusted, both bathrooms cleaned and floors steamed. I just have to change the sheets on Girlfriend's bed and remake it (she has a ruptured disk at L1 so we negotiated that I do some of the cleaning she would otherwise do) and run the vacuum cleaner in all the rooms upstairs. And then I'm done for the day except for washing her sheets and making my bed up with clean sheets and new covers on the weighted blankets, and making Hunan chicken and broccoli and rice for dinner, and cleaning that up tonight.

    @tinkerbellang83 all this talk of banana bread is making me want some, now! lol

    Sowwy! It's totally getting done today, so will be stricken from the list tomorrow and will vanish (both in words and substance likely)

    The whole world seems to be baking banana loaf, my facebook feed is full of it lol
    It's my daughters favourite thing, I've been making it for years.
    With mine I swap half the sugar for golden syrup, it gives a lovely sticky top to it.
    Also I've just tried adding coffee to one and cinnamon to another, both were lovely.
