    @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.

    Thanks Terri! I went again last night and I walked 0.5 mile further, 10 minutes longer and did it at a quicker pace according to Map My Walk app. It was your post (above) that I kept remembering when I pushed myself to go further and not turn around at my normal spot! Thank you for the encouragement! Also, thanks for the James Morrison song...love his music/voice! Your drawing...that is really pretty! You are quite the artist! Go Terri GO!

    @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.

    I always make a goal of taking a walk every night and then easily talk myself out of it. The kicker is, I really, really want it to be a daily thing! I want it to be a habit! So, I don't know why I sabotage myself all the time. So this week, I've made myself go the last 3 evenings whether I feel like it or not and I am finding the same thing...I enjoy the time and space by myself! I think it is helping me calm the anxiety building inside me during this "shelter in place" time... :)

    @Faebert Nice to see you are doing okay! I worry when I don't see someone for a while. Stay well, my friend! :heart:

    Hey all. I'm not worrying about daily goals at the moment. I came down with a case of suspected Covid-19 so my goal is to take care of myself. I'll be okay, I'm young and otherwise healthy. Mostly exhausted, aside from the coughing garbage, and finding it hard to drag myself up to make food. I hope everyone stays healthy, or if they catch this, kick it quickly.

    I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well! Take care of YOU. Goals can wait! HUGS!

    @mytime6630 I did find the Missouri Quilt Company's tutorial on making the masks. Haven't watched it yet, but found it! I don't have elastic either. I have 1/2" but not 1/4"...I didn't think of using binding to tie. I think that's a great idea! Sending you love and prayers, Joan...for you, your husband, your son & family and your daughter!

    Just for Tuesday
    • Journal every single bite - good, bad & ugly :)
    • Water - DRINK SOME! Seriously! Step away from the coffee and drink some freaking water! :)60 oz.
    • 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. :)Calm app for meditation. Inspirational readings.
    • Take time out to notice and be grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Take a moment and thank God. :)
    • Walk Maddie :)Further, faster and longer than day before! Yea!
    • Lymphatic massage & exercises ;)Partially. Ran out of time!
    • Knee exercises :sNope. Sore after walk.
    • Gentle chair yoga video :)First time doing this. LOVE THIS!
    • Declutter clothes hanging in closet. Start donate box. :)Started. Didn't get too far...but I started at least!

    Nice day today, but it's supposed to rain later. I think I'll try to get me and Maddie's walk in earlier than normal. If I miss that window because of work meetings, I guess I'll have to hop on treadmill or put on some music and do some aerobic dancing or something. Not going to miss a day of activity. I need to keep adding onto those bunnies!

    Husband should be coming home tomorrow with the U-Haul and my mom, so I'll be happy to have this whole chapter behind us! I walked to my mom's new house yesterday and it's only 8 blocks! Takes me about 12 minutes to walk there, which sounds like a long time but my dog has to stop and smell every single mailbox you know....

    I hope everyone is doing well. I found a chair yoga YouTube video that's really calming and listening to the Calm app is relaxing as well. I urge everyone to take some time for self-care as this is such a time of anxiety and uncertainty. Praying for everyone to stay healthy! xoxo

    Just for Wednesday:
    • Journal every single bite - good, bad & ugly
    • Water - DRINK SOME! Seriously! Step away from the coffee and drink some freaking water!

    Hello, my JFTers! I hope you are well and taking good care of yourselves. Sorry I went MIA but social media and news were making me v anxious so I had to cut way back. Yesterday the WI Governor declared a Stay At Home order until April 24 for all non-essential businesses.

    I'm currently working at home, but eventually will not have anything left to work on, since I don't have access to paper records or staff for inquiries, and don't have necessary, specialized software. Hubby goes to work, since he's Lead on 2nd shift cleaning crew at local VA Outpatient Clinic, and that scares me a bit. But we are following all the precautions, and doing what we can.

    I seem to finally have found a rhythm with my days, and my mindset. Get to be with hubby more, once he wakes mid-mornings, so that's definitely a plus. I attend church by watching videos, and really miss my choir friends, especially as we have been preparing for upcoming Holy Week and Easter. I pray for courage to endure, and for health and safety for all my family and friends, including you!

    I wake when the sun comes up (no alarm ~ yay) and have been walking dog longer than usual. She loves that, and even Kitty is a little clingy lately. Noticing lots of birds as spring arrives; have seen sandhill cranes, turkeys, pileated woodpecker, to name a few. Saw my first robin over a week ago, always a sign of spring here. Something new, I've enjoyed colorful chalk art with positive, uplifting messages on driveways in an adjacent neighborhood. Really brightens my day.

    JFT W 3/25 ~ keeping things simple during stay at home order
    1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / 5 somethings (finally remembering) / rest day (no dog walk)
    2) Net calories green / 14c water (not so good at this when sitting at home)
    3) Work at home
    4) Review tax returns :) / send requested documents :) / send electronic payment :) / wash towels / other?
    5) Watch Lent service on video
    6) Floss / retainers
    🐰Let’s get Hop! Hop! Hopping!🐰

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 62, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.

    My weight history:
    SW Year 2017: 217
    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!
    March 25: 177.9
    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, 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.:)

    This morning I dropped off 45 face masks to a ER nurse at our local hospital. She emailed me, and the happiness I gave her for doing such a small thing. She was in awe of people doing these masks ... I am in awe of our health care professionals, risking their own lives to help others. I am going to get feedback from her, since I used 2 different patterns, as to which pattern to use, and then I can just sew away. But tonite I already have 10 more made.
    And you know .. it is the best therapy. It keeps me from eating like crazy, worrying so much, and stressing over things that we have absolutely no control over.

    And, benefit is that my weight is dropping. I guess I can't do impulse running to the grocery store and going out to eat!

    So just setting simple goals
    JFT, THurs
    1. log all food
    2. sew face masks. such a need from so many. I know of 3 hospitals needing them, but 2 police departments wanting them.
    3. concentrate on water
    4. go for a LONG walk


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

    No bunny for me today! I got 16 minutes on the bike but then spent the rest of the day at my desk or in the kitchen. Less than 4K steps for the day...this shin splint deal really held me back! I plan to get out there tomorrow, though, it’s feeling better and I hope a night’s rest will help.

    I STILL did not meditate. By the end of the day I just check out and atop looking at my To Dos I think. At least I’m not pigging out! Still calories green. But I will set Meditate as a separate task for tomorrow, maybe that will help.

    Howdy all. Today is one of my 2 days a week at work, and to be honest, I don't have a lot to do. There are a few tasks I needed to be here today to do so it wasn't a complete waste. Mostly I sit at my desk trying to look busy. At least when I'm home if my work load is light I can do other things. Sigh...

    Tim and I both have a cold, nothing serious, but enough to keep us away from our parents. Because he had traveled out of state and had a cold, it was recommended he get tested for Covid 19, but we haven't gotten any results back. My work said I still needed to come into work, but I'm being extra cautious.

    Looking back at my last post, it’s apparent that I’ve lost track of the days of the week!

    I failed to set goals this morning and have not logged today. I will catch up tomorrow! On the plus side, I did earn my 🐰 today.

    I hope you are all ok. @TerriRichardson112, your art work is lovely. @mytime6630 I am impressed by your efforts making face masks @PackerFanInGB i hope the rest of the moving process goes well and your mum enjoys her new home.

    Finally got to MFP Community! Having a few wifi issues this evening ~ probably due to everyone else being online at home too.

    Recap W 3/25 ~ keeping things simple during safer at home order
    1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / 5 somethings (finally remembering) / rest day (no dog walk) = Fitbit 7,849 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 25 floors :)
    2) Net calories green / 14c water (not so good at this when sitting at home) = Net cals green 22 :smiley: love this on a rest day! sodium green :smiley: sugar -38 :( fiber low-ish :/ protein excellent & 14c water :smiley:
    3) Work at home = :)
    4) Review tax returns :) / send requested documents :) / send electronic payment :) / wash towels :) / other? :) washed dishes, washed fleece blankets, put away some seasonal decorations & balanced bank accts
    5) Watch Lent service on video = :smiley:
    6) Floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley:

    JFT R 3/26 ~ keeping things simple during safer at home directive
    1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / 5 somethings (hard to remember!)
    2) Walk dog = Clouds parted mid-afternoon & we had sun! B) 5.18 mi & stretched a little. Happy dog & happy me B)

    JFT F 3/27 ~ keeping things simple during safer at home directive
    1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / 5 somethings (remember!)
    2) Net calories green / 14c water
    3) Work at home / weekly status reports (funny, these will never go away) / back up work
    4) Virtual 10K walk with dog
    5) Floss / retainers

    Forgot to mention I saw two boys playing on their homemade zipline the other day ~ pretty cool! Sadly, all the colorful chalk art & messages were washed away in yesterday's rain. Today I even saw two mallard ducks swimming in a ditch on our walk.

    The Badger State Brewing 10K race on Sat. is now a virtual race. Since Sat. is forecast to be very rainy & Sun. not much better, I have decided I will walk my 10K tomorrow. Won't be my usual "race pace" but still want a respectable time. I will use MapMyWalk to track the distance, and I've been scoping out blocks to add to my usual routes. My youngest brother was supposed to be in the race with me, and already did his virtual 10K run. Today he ran his virtual half marathon, and SIL shared photos of his cheering section (three daughters home from college) along his course. How cool was that!

    @PackerFanInGB I'm sure you will be so relieved when your hubby, mom & brother get to town!
    @TerriRichardson112 Thank you for sharing photos of your projects. So fun!
    @mytime6630 You are wonderful for making masks!
    @Snowflake1968 I thought of you as I read the PM's new directive for Canada. You are in my prayers.

    Today required a lot of emotional energy. New guidance coming down from corporate, need to relay it, replan, keep people informed but calm and hopeful, all while I can’t really see them. Had two 15 minute breaks in otherwise 10 hours of video calls. But! I cycled for the first 30 minutes of my first call and went for a long walk when I was off the computer for the day. Green for calories, lots of water, crossing fingers for a happy scale tomorrow!

    @pridesabtch - I’m surprised you are still allowed to go to work with a cold. We can’t even have a cough at work.

    THURSDAY:
    -Dishes🟢
    - Laundry🟢
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Exercise🔴
    - Yearbook🔴
    - Clean bathroom🔴
    - Connect with family via Skype/FaceTime🟢

    It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday. Most of the neighbors came out just to sit on our own front lawns and chat. I’m trying to encourage my mom to do the same at her house. She’s alone, but has an excellent neighborhood. I think if people saw her out there, they’d come out of their own houses to chat. I know she’s lonely and that’s one of the hardest parts of this.

    JFT FRIDAY:
    - clean bathroom (can’t believe this is still on my list!)
    - yearbook (seriously need to get this done. Likely the only special thing the 5th graders will get this year. )
    - Laundry
    - Dishes
    - Exercise
    - Homeschool

    Bunny challenge: 10k steps in nice weather or an indoor workout when I can’t get outside
