@MadisonMolly2017 created this April 2020 calendar/tracker. It deserves your close scrutiny. Note her delightful manner of emphasizing the importance of being truthful and encouraging with yourself.
I'll post about Pass Days tomorrow, Maddie's art was too important to overlook

I think it is an understatement we were all worried about you. Happy to hear both tests were negative.
I cannot imagine your stress levels. Hopefully you are able to find ways to make it a little more manageable.
I hope you feel better soon!6 -
April 3
Exercised: No
Tracked: Yes
Budget: Yes
Rain when intending on walking. No energy/motivation for bodyweight.
Wife's cataract surgery successful. Can see quite well out of corrected eye. Colors much more vibrant. Needs sunglasses as very light sensitive still.
Daughter now home from care. Had been a good week for her. Likely to have weeks away again in future. Finally found a mental health carer familiar with her condition.Personally bad day for me mental health wise. Emotionally very flat and struggling with motivation to do anything. Not in a good place.
With all going on with family, I should be happy (wife, daughter). Yet I feel hollow. Makes no sense.
Hopefully better day tomorrow.12 -

@RangerRickL Thank you so much! This method is really working for me. Especially this one as I really disliked having the white/blank squares in March’s!! I hope you & your extended family are healthy❣️
Having a completed drawing is becoming an unexpected motivator for me - haha!

Reading your post yesterday, marveled (so?) at your positive attitude as I read:
wife having surgery,
more tasks falling in you, and
Delivering eye drops for someone who dislikes them,
and your daughter that is loved so much will also add disruptions-
add this to your personal work - which is helpful for sure & awesome you are doing it, but often not easy,
and the coronavirus.
Many of us are having rate or inexplicable emotions right now. We need to care for ourselves at least as well as we care for our loved ones.
What’s one thing you could do today for you?!!
With a big hug

Well.... today had a little set back
I passed out this morning. Thud!
Paramedics were called.
They said that I was severely dehydrated and they gave me 2 liters of fluids. Since all my vitals were good and no distress I didn’t need to go to the hospital. That’s a plus!
Tracked everything
Calories a little better than yesterday
2 passes used

3rd April
Exercise: Yes. 30 minutes walk into town, did my shopping, 20 minutes DVD aerobics.
Calories: Yes, stayed under. I've been enjoying trying out new recipes, lots of time for that now.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
A good day. Enjoyed my hour or so in the sun, on my balcony, doing my embroidery (!), listening to a BBC podcast. Cleaning up the front terrace, ready for the sun to appear there too. I might order some new plants online tomorrow.
Lots of love to @nodm and @juliemouse83. Wish you both better.
@craigo3154 I fully understand, got some of those problems too, but I always crash out of MFP and UAC when it becomes too much, whereas you keep posting. I'll remember that next time the going gets tough. Thank you for keeping going.10 -
@nodm I hope you are feeling better now, that does sound horrible..
3 yes's today. It was quite sunny in my part of the UK. In our lock down we can walk outside. I was kidless for a few hours for the firs time in over a week so I just walked out into countryside with my Dog and just kept walking for 6 hrs. I got pulled by the police once because they thought I had driven out but apart from that I had most of the space to myself. It is sureal at the moment.
Stay safe everyone9 -
@juliemouse83 and @nodm Thinking about both of you and sending all my love and support. nodm, I hope somebody is checking on you. If you're alone, make sure you keep a phone in your pocket.
@davert123 What a story about the police questioning you. We have a stay at home order here in Pennsylvania. We're allowed to walk for exercise as long as we stay away from others. My employer gave me a letter to keep in the car, stating that I'm an essential worker in case the police pull me over, but I haven't had to use it yet.

I got a half hour early morning run and a half hour afternoon walk. Also had an online one hour yoga class.
Still struggling with hunger but feeling good about my exercise level.11 -

@SuziQ113 thank you, Love! This made me heart swell in a major way! 😢😁❤️ I think I’m on the mend from whatever this thing is. If it’s COVID? Then let it be mild. If it isn’t? Bonus points for time out from the crazy town that healthcare is right now! 💖❤️💜💙💞
