    Howdy all. Things are going pretty well though I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Nothing serious just a nasty cold. We've been staying in with the exception of a trip to the store every two weeks and the 2 days a week that I go into the office. The family time has been nice, but it is taking a toll on the kids. Much like Snowflakes granddaughter, my kids are very cuddly. It's very odd being that they are 14 and 17, but I'm glad they find comfort with me. We have been trying to do more family activities, whether it be playing games, doing yard work or going for a bike ride. Saturday hubby and I were going to go for a ride, and we invited the kids. The kids always say no, but this time they decided to join us. V is still a little under 5', so we haven't gotten her a "nice" bike yet because we can't find one to fit her. Between the slightly smaller bike and the fact that she isn't as fit as her sister I rode back with her and Tim and Sierra rode up and got a nice workout. It was a great day. V has actually ridden her bike every day since so she can get stronger. I admire her drive. I've missed my bike, but there is so much shame over my current fitness level its weird. I saw some of my riding buddies when we were out Saturday, but they were pace lining the other direction and I was cruising along with V at 11mph (it's hard to ride 11mph on a road bike). They still yelled as they passed. It was nice I miss the guys. I gotta get over myself and get back in shape. I'm setting a goal for myself to wither ride or Peleton every day this week. I don't know why I have a hard time riding the Peleton, but I hate doing it when people are home and people are ALWAYS home now. Of course, the bike is downstairs and easy to ride with no one around.

    You guys were talking about how the schools are handling the stay at home orders. Here they are only issuing review work, so after giving the kids a few weeks off, I've decided I need to home school at least with math and science so they aren't behind next year when they begin more advanced classes. Luckily, I am well suited to teach the material, unfortunately, teaching my own kids is tough. I've contacted their teachers to figure out what topics i need to cover. Wish me luck, I enjoy math way more than my children. They think I'm a whack job when I get excited that I remember how to do things such as trig identities, and that I do the homework I assign them.

    Stay safe y'all, you are important to me.

    Goals JFT Tuesday
    - Check in with JFT
    - Do data compilations
    - Struggle through Skype meetings
    - Eat a healthy lunch - NO CHIPS
    - Ride Peleton
    - Eat reduced portions for dinner
    - No alcohol


    I'm the total opposite, I can't stand math. Well no in fact I DO like it I just can't do it!
    I'm really good at English and spelling though. Like when I'm trying to spell a word I can imagine the letters in my mind.
    But I can't do that with numbers? It's very strange lol!

    But pen and paper I can do it much better :) but I can't remember any trig stuff lol!! (I distinctively remember asking my teacher what the point of trig was and if id ever actually use it after school lmao)
    And i know like basic algebra lol!!

    I'll relearn it all im sure when my kids do it lol!!

    But Ash is really good at math, so we hav a balance between the two of us lol!

    Yesterday was a weird day. I went to the grocery store at 7:30 and by the time everything was cleaned and stored away it was 12:00! I was paranoid about everything that came into the house. I disinfected everything that had to go in the fridge. Any pantry item, I took to the basement to sit for the next 3 days. I’ve read that the virus can last that long on cardboard. I immediately put my clothes in the wash and took a shower. Is anyone else taking these precautions or am I just paranoid?? At least I have everything I need for a while and won’t be leaving the house again anytime soon.


    This really hit me, because my husband just came home with a bunch of groceries for the next 2 or 3 weeks, and while I was putting them away I just felt like I was touching stuff that wasn't "safe" and I don't even know how to put my finger on the exact feeling. It was just weird. I think I'm getting more and more anxious. The more I hear, the more anxious I get. I don't think that you can be cautious enough, actually because of the nature of this virus,

    So personally, I think if it makes you feel like you've done everything you can to protect yourself and your family, then you go for it! :) Now I wish I had done the same with ours! :smile:


    @Bex953172 Time changes always mess me up too! Especially in the spring when in Wisconsin we jump forward an hour. I hate jumping forward...I always feel like I've lost an hour of sleep and it takes me forever to get my internal clock sync'd up again! LOL!

    I sent you another PM lol!!! Does it not show up when you log on? Xx I hate to feel like I'm pestering you to reply lol!

    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
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    09/16/17 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!
    09/23 = 168.5 have lots challenges in upcoming week
    09/30 = 167.0 met Sept goal to stay under 170
    10/07 = 166.0
    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa
    10/21/17 = 166.5 dined out 2 days plus food day in office / no gain is good [joined Just Give Me 10 Days challenge (daily w/i)]
    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
    11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse
    12/02 = 161.0 Jingle Bell 5K day / 44:37 chip time & ave. pace 14:22 & very happy!
    12/09/17 = 158.5 first time in 10 years my weight is 1-5-anything! :D

    01/20 = 156.5
    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
    02/03 = sick / no weigh in
    02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that
    02/17/18 = 153.0 thrilled with annual physical on 2/15/18: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:
    02/24 = 154.0 little out of control last week, but at goal for the month
    03/03 = 155.5 oops / still lower than before I was sick

    Work at home day #13. I love working from home, but I am starting to miss people contact a bit and starting to feel a bit disconnected. We did start training our staff on doing video visits today though, so that will give me social contact and keep me busy for a bit!

    I know this is a late post, but if I don't write my goals down I won't feel like I need to do any of them! Isn't it funny how that works? It's not like any of you are actually going to come knocking at my door and scold me or anything! LOL! I sure do love the relationships we have formed here. Stay well my friends!


    Just for Wednesday
    1. Journal every bite
    2. WATER and DECAF TEA
    3. Lymphatic massage x2
    4. knee exercises
    5. Gentle chair yoga
    6. 30 minutes intentional activity
    7. De-clutter bedroom closet - hanging clothes
    8. Gratitude journal / inspirational readings / early to bed and lights out at 10 / get up with alarm in morning

    WOTY: Persistence

    Keeping busy. Went out very early to get some essentials today, and was able to get all the things on my list. People were being ultra cautious about social distancing.

    For all those essential workers still going out there....
    🙏🏻 Thank you for your service 🙏🏻
    Everyone else, please stay home!!!

    What am I doing to keep busy?
    To name a few...
    • I’ve joined a 14 day on line art challenge (search for painters on line on Facebook)
    • structuring my day
    • morning and evening meditation
    • Using the internet to ‘talk’ to family
    • crochet, jigsaws, journaling, gardening, reading, writing .......
    • HIIT videos off YouTube,
    • yoga/Taichi
    • Walks with DH
    • Cleaning! Cleaning! Cleaning! 😂
    • Decluttering
    • Stress relievers (search YouTube for Paul McKenna)
    Keep your chin up!
    The only failure is giving up!
