    Greetings! I know it has been a long while since I was on here...I have been taken up with a couple of groups more related to our son who recently graduated from Air Force basic training. It was quite unfortunate that the virus made its appearance while he was in training. His group of nearly 800 were the first to not be able to have friends or family present. It's a pretty big deal---it is a two day ceremony and then they get liberty both on and off base for four days. All this was canceled. The did a much shorter swearing in and the next day left for his tech school. It was very emotionally hard on families. I grieved for the young people who had not seen family for over 8 weeks, especially those who had not been away from home before.

    He gets to tech school and they have closed all theater, bowling, gym, etc. He is not allowed to leave the base and as of last week can't receive visitors, which meant his sister was no longer able to travel out to see him for the day. And to top it off, the base has no toilet paper!!! The BX is "wiped clean", lol! His roommate has three rolls. Ally, his sister was bringing him some before the base closed to visitors. So she is mailing some to him...using it as packing, lol!

    I have thought of y'all often. It's amazing how truly life can change in a blink of an eye.

    If you are wanting to do some exercising Faithful Workouts is doing live workouts each morning on their fb page, with the same name. There is a beginner and an intermediate class. They will be recorded so you can do them later if need be. The times listed are eastern standard time.

    May we all find joy in these circumstances! My son will find joy in having toity paper, no doubt!! He has been there since March 14 but we just got his address on Saturday...his birthday is Thursday and guess what he's getting, lol!

    Take care of yourselves. Not forever.

    @toaljasa So nice to see you! I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to attend your son's graduation from boot camp. It's such a big deal that it had to be very disappointing to all of you. I wonder how many others in our military don't have TP? Maybe we will have to start sending care boxes to the military filled with TP! :)

    Thanks also for sharing the video series! I need to schedule in some exercise, along with stop stuffing my face! I've been just terrible. Today I'm doing pretty good but it's early yet... LOL

    Packing up tonight/tomorrow to move in with my parents. I’m in the U.K. and mum has to “shelter” for the next 12 weeks plus due to her lung cancer. I can’t risk continuing to travel between my house and theirs despite the fact I’ve been avoiding all social contact for the last 2 weeks. I’m sad and scared and the extra glass of wine is not helping me relax!

    Thinking of you all as you deal with the scary future.

    I will try my best to be positive and I am planning ahead. My current knitting project is an Icelandic jumper. Not too difficult and it grows fast. Once it’s finished, I’m taking on a far more challenging project; I’m going to knit a gansey. New techniques and much finer wool/narrower needles than I’m used to.

    I hope you and your mum will be okay! I'm in the UK too, and now we're in total lock down!

    I'd love to see a pic of your knitting project when it's done! Hopefully that will help you pass some time!

    We tried to buy flour today and there was non out of 7 shops!! And now the lockdown rules are even tighter. I think buying flour so I can make cakes is not a "necessity" 😂

    So much for logging on in the morning to set goals! Back-to-back meetings all day today related to COVID-19 starting at 0730 this morning. Finally shut down my work laptop and made myself dinner and can relax and hopefully watch something on TV that has nothing to do with COVID-19!

    Word has it that our Governor in WI is going to issue the order tomorrow. I hope my husband is able to get home from Indiana later this week. :(

    Although I didn't get my goals written in here, I did have some in mind all day so I think I'll list them since some of them still need to be done. I have to have accountability or I will be unable to fit through the front door by the end of this shelter in place order.

    Just for Monday, 3/23:
    1. Journal every snack and stick to pre-logged meals.
    2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
    3. Take Maddie for a walk around the neighborhood
    4. Lymphatic massage
    5. Lymphatic exercises
    6. Knee exercises
    7. Gentle Chair Yoga
    8. Gratitude Journal, inspirational daily readings, Calm app, Bible app lesson/study
    9. Bed on time and get up tomorrow at my normal time! Stop sleeping in!

    I would like to join the HOP TO IT challenge! I will give myself a bunny for each day that I do some sort of intentional activity. If I get in at least 15 minutes of intentional activity, I will count it. I don't want to feel as if I'm failing if I can't get enough steps in while working at home.

    HOP TO IT!

    I need to wake up out of this funk and do things that best serve me, not my free floating anxiety about this situation. Tomorrow I will be upstairs by 9 with the “reward” of a meditation session. Lights out before 10 so that getting up the next morning is easier as intended. Spend my time planning activities for my family.

    Thoughts and prayers to all of you worries about your families and yourself. May we all get through this with both health...and sanity!

    Good morning everyone! I'm glad to see the sun today. I'm hoping to get out and work in the yard a bit.

    Rained all day yesterday, so I didn't get out. I was in a bit of a funk because my husband headed back to his commuter apartment and will be going in to work some days. When I called my mom, I noticed that she sounded blue. I tried to get her set up on Zoom but we ran into some problems. Then my daughter texted me to say the ceiling in her bedroom was leaking. She was able to take temporary measures and schedule a repairman for Monday, but we're expecting more rain this week. It's hard to feel so cut off and unable to help.

    But the day wasn't all bad. I was up early and lucked out in getting a grocery delivery slot, so I was able to get some fresh dairy and produce. My online classes are going pretty well so far, and most of my students are logging in and doing work. And my daughter and son are sending me lots of pictures of the grandkids - they never fail to make me smile!

    @TerriRichardson112 - Thank you for reminding me that I too have much to be grateful for and that I can do this. I really appreciated the song.
    @jeschepp - Sorry to hear about all the frustrations you're experiencing, but looks like you'll be on the move soon. Congrats on signing that contract!

    @TerriRichardson112 What a great song! Thank you for sharing! I haven't listened to music in weeks, and I think I need to turn off the TV (news) and begin listening to music. Working at home every day routine is a work in progress and there's another tweak I can make.

    @mytime6630 Are you following a pattern off YouTube for the masks? I've been thinking of sewing some. I have a lot of cotton fabrics and a lot of flannel for next to the face, but don't know where to begin. I'm self taught and really pretty much suck at sewing, but I enjoy trying! My mom will be here by the end of the week living 8 blocks from here, so I see many sewing lessons in my future... :)

    As you can see above, I suck at fitting in the things I don't necessarily enjoy doing after work. I feel like I should have all this time now to get all kinds of things done around here, but the truth is, I'm still working full time even though the location has changed...I don't have any more time than I did before. So, I need to find more structure in my day to schedule in the lymphedema therapies and the lymphedema & knee exercises I've been told to do.

    I did actually make myself take Maddie for a walk last night after dinner and I was happy I did...so was she! I have a question for you guys....when you first started walking, how far or how long did you make yourself go? I feel like I'm not doing enough because I only walk for 30 minutes and only walk about 3 mph so only get in about 1.3 miles. that's not very far, very fast or very long, but I feel like that's all the further my knees let me go. Is it even helpful health-wise? My hope is that if I can make myself do it every day that my pace will get faster, distance further and time walking will be longer, but in the meantime I feel like a total wuss.

    Well, best get some goals on here!

    Just for Tuesday
    • Journal every single bite - good, bad & ugly
    • Water - DRINK SOME! Seriously! Step away from the coffee and drink some freaking water!
    • Take 15 minutes twice today to meditate or read something inspirational or just to chill and take some deep breaths. It's all going to be okay.
    • Take time out to notice and be grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Take a moment and thank God.
    • Walk Maddie
    • Lymphatic massage & exercises
    • Knee exercises
    • Gentle chair yoga video
    • Declutter clothes hanging in closet. Start donate box.

    WOTY 2020: Persistence

    Hang in there my friends! We will weather this storm and come out stronger than ever. Love to you all! :heart:

    @PackerFanInGB Every single step you take is a step nearer to health and fitness. When first got my Fitbit I started by walking to the end of our road a couple of times a day and then worked up from there.
    Then, when I had my knee replacement done in 2015, I could barely do 100 steps per day. I just walked further each day. I did it in short 5 minute walks every hour and increased it each day. It took a month to get above 1000 per day. I just kept increasing it every day. Often walking during ad breaks at night to reach my goal. Now I do 30-45 minute HIIT walking videos most days. It takes less time to reach my goal these days. I seldom have to walk during ad breaks at night anymore.

    SW Year 2018: 195.5
    SW Year 2019 : 206
    SW Year 2020: 182.6
    1st GW: 185.4 :) Met this goal
    2nd GW: 175 - and learn to maintain
    Ultimate goal: 165-170, and maintain
    Goals for 2020:
    These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:
    1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
    2. To be better with planning my meals each week
    3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
    4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
    5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
    2020
    SW: Jan 3: 185.4
    SW Feb 1: 178 (-7.4 lbs)
    SW March: 183.6 (I was down to 176.6. Then, spent 2 weeks emotionally eating, just not caring. Time to get serious, and remember how I lost weight, but more importantly, remember how I can easily gain weight!.
    2020 - March
    March 8: 183.6
    Mar 10: 180.6
    March 15: 183.0 - my own fault .. 2 days of stress eating. Time to get serious
    March 17: 181
    Mar 20: 179.6 - work to maintain that this week, or lose another .5 pound
    March 24: 178.4 (Helps that I am not going to the grocery store LOL!
    I set my goals while we are "shelter in place" and stuck at home:
    1. sew as many face masks as I can
    2. learn to play the keyboard
    3. work on charity quilt
    4. exercise at least 30-45 minutes, 4 days a week minimum
    5. keep house tidy

    JFt, Tues
    1. build 3 boxes .. shipping tomorrow. We think this will be it for orders for a while:)
    2. concentrate on water:)
    3. sew up more face masks. Going to deliver these this weekend.. hoping to get 50-75 made.:) 35 Masks made in 2 days! I am tired ... but I am going to keep sewing. It is so sad .. such a need. These are going to the ER department in one hospital, but I am told the police need them, and 3 other hospitals. They want them for patients coming into the hospital .. dialysis patients, visitors (the ones allowed). All this is so sad, but this had helped me tremendously from not freaking out totally over all this
    4. clean house:/ -- Face masks were more important
    5. rainy day today .... find exercise video:/ -- Face masks were more important
    6. practice piano 15 minutes:/ -- Face masks were more important
    7. call daughter. Talked to her 2x. I think she now realizes how very important this is. We cannot take chances of either me or my husband getting sick, especially with his upcoming treatments. But we told her she can come out and sit in our patio .. social distancing.



    @PackerFan001 -- Missouri Star Quilting has a great tutorial .. and they are super easy. I do not have elastic, so I am just making binding and sewing that on. (The binding is suppose to be 40" each side for ties)

    JFT, Wed
    1. shipping today, so have to help hubby some
    2. go for a walk! Suppose to b e very nice outside!
    3. work on face masks... the need is so great. Plus, its the best therapy for me.


    We can only control our actions ... we have so little control over what happens. Make the best of this time.

    @PackerFanInGB - The great thing about walking is that it's really flexible. When I started walking for exercise about 5 years ago, I aimed for 30 minutes at a comfortable pace 3 times a week. At first, it was really hard to make the time for it, but I soon found that I enjoyed having the time and space for myself. So now I plan most days so that I can fit in a walk. It really helps me deal with stress.

    Ok today I proved (again) that if I do not write it into my goal list, I forget to do it! I noticed that last night I said I would bribe myself with a meditations session but tonight I forgot!! By the time I got upstairs (did NOT get up by 9 as I intended) it was too late. For tomorrow I added it in all caps so that when I look at my list during the day I’ll remember...

    Hope everyone is doing as well as can be.
