    @kuhl50 - I have never really meal planned but I think that would really help if I did it. Sometimes I wish I only had my own meals to worry about and didn’t have to worry about hubby’s moods and whims too.

    @TerriRichardson112 - I dread when my grandchildren get older. I only hope that they are as close to me as I was to my grandparents even through my teen years and you do adulthood.
    I so agree with you on the “doom and gloom” I have stopped watching the news. I of course have to keep up with some things as it pertains to my work and what restrictions are being lifted but I have started just reading the update from our government each day and leaving it at that. It has helped a lot!

    @teigansdad - I would love if my hubby every texted me for a list to pick up on way home!

    @clicketykeys - are you having to teach online? How is it going?

    @aubyshortcake - I do that mindless eating in the evening too. I do well all day and when Rodger goes to bed I decide to eat and eat. I know this isn’t healthy and tell myself I’m stopping and don’t. I know I can do it, because I have in the past. I just need to get back to that discipline.

    @pridesabtch - good job! Sucks on the insomnia though.

    @cschmitz110515 - I need to start doing the 5 somethings again too. I still have the little sign in the bathroom that is supposed to remind me to do them. I also need to get back to logging faithfully. The good, the bad, the ugly and the really ugly.

    Had a fairly decent day today, got to move a little further at work because I delivered treats to the residents today. Then this afternoon in honour of nurses week all staff were given an ice cream bar and a T-shirt.

    I am not really looking forward to the long weekend, I find the weekends so long without having the Grandkids around or being able to go anywhere. Although a lot is reopening here we were reminded today of where we work and how important it is to keep up the practices we have become accustomed to to keep the residents safe.

    I will check in again tomorrow night!

    Today was a good day for self-efficacy. I met every commitment to myself. I realized on my walk that’s what really matters to me right now—feeling confident and proud of my choices and habits regardless how slow results may come. So I need to keep setting reasonable, baby goals, and keep hitting them for success.

    Happy Saturday!

    @Snowflake1968 I know what you mean! For meal planning I had to give up and realize that often my DH will make whatever he feels like (or thinks the girls will like), so I either have to pre-plan my daily food to “afford” a serving of his meal, or else have parallel food ready. If I remember, I’ll pre-plan to roast veggies, and then just have a small serving of the protein he makes. Another thing I’ve done is make batches of protein and veggies and then freeze them as single serve “tv dinners”. If DH meal looks too caloric, I can grab a TV dinner. But if my freezer stock is low, or I didn’t order veggies, that doesn’t work as well. But either way, if I think through the week, how each evening will probably go (will I have time to prep something, will he be home, etc), create a grocery list to support good eating, then I enter dinner time with a plan rather than just hunger...Good Luck!

    🌺🌸🌼SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE🌼🌸🌺
    🌺🌸🌼 15 April to 31 May 🌼🌸🌺
    My Daily Goal -- 30+ minutes of intentional exercise -- 🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼-0-0-0-🌺🌼🌸🌺-0-0
    🌺🌸-0-0-🌼🌸-0-


    JFT Goals for Saturday, May 16, 2020

    Log everything; Be mindful of everything I eat - try for lower carb/sodium choices; drink 8+ water
    Do 30 min Chair Yoga
    Do stretching video in full
    Work 15 min on Dining Room ceiling light -- blades in progress
    Dining Room -- declutter, sweep floor, vacuum, mop floor -- work in 15 min chunks - still decluttering

    The Plan: Do stretches. work in Dining Room. Do yoga. work in Dining Room. Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. work in Dining Room. Play on computer for a bit ... do 15 minute chore (DR - ceiling fan/light) ... repeat.

    Had a 4 lb gain after my indulgences last weekend. Thought I'd have it off by today but NOPE ... still have a bit hanging on!! So, need to make very careful food choices, exercise a bit more, and drink a lot more water so I will, hopefully, kick it before weigh-in next Saturday.

    Supposed to be partly sunny and in the 60's today in Michigan ... YEA!! ... so hope to get outside to plant my trilliams in my little patch of them. If it's warm enough, maybe I'll have lunch outside.

    Hope Y'all have a fun weekend!! 😊

    @Snowflake1968 Teaching online is a challenge - but so is teaching in a classroom. Just a challenge of a different sort. I haven't done any instruction through Facetime or Zoom or anything like that, though we use Zoom for our meetings.

    Language arts isn't TOO hard to do online, because a lot of it is reading and writing, and students can do that online. I'm glad I'd had them do several presentations already, though, because presenting to a camera is VERY different from presenting to a live audience. And then of course group discussions are very different online; they're less dynamic.

    JFT F 5/15
    1) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / stairs breaks from basement to 2nd floor
    2) Not sure about meals / net calories green / 14c water
    3) Walk dog & log virtual race miles
    4) Wash hubby's work clothes & hang outside / wash dishes :smiley: / refill bird baths / set up rain barrels (in time for tomorrow's rainy day)
    5) Enjoy time with hubby
    6) Floss / retainers

    My state (WI) was in chaos for two days: the state Supreme Court overturned Gov's safer at home extension order, then counties & cities issued their own orders. Now those orders are mostly rescinded, since legal counselors advise they won't stand up to a legal challenge. I just wish all the partisanship would end, and people would do what's right for everyone health-wise. My employer (a sovereign nation) affirmed yesterday their Safer at Home Declaration remains in effect until June 11. Businesses are starting to reopen, but I'm not comfortable going to them. I'll definitely be shopping wearing a mask, and certainly not going to eat in a restaurant or pub. Hubby and I will continue to order take away.

    On the bright side, today I'm walking in a virtual race, there's no set miles. We just log whatever miles we do. I'm planning on walking close to 5 miles. The event is donating a pair of shoes to a healthcare or janitorial worker for every 50 miles participants log in total. I was able to nominate my hubby as a potential recipient for shoes, so that was cool. I hope he is selected!

    Walked 5.08 miles in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 with Cayenne in the virtual RonaRunOff. Event miles of each participant will be aggregated and, for every 50 miles, a pair of shoes will be donated to an area healthcare or janitorial worker. I had the opportunity to nominate my hubby Stan for the shoes. I hope he gets selected!
    You may notice I'm wearing my most recent 10K shirt from March, which was virtual as well. The race sponsor was a local craft beer brewery. I love the fine print: Will Run for Beer! Unfortunately this year, there was no free beer at the finish line. o9781izczd6c.jpg
