May Week 4
PW: 220
CW: 220.5
Hopefully I'm not kicked out? I forgot to post on my day (Friday) the last two weeks, so not sure how that works because you didn't take my for today.
In any case I'm still struggling mentally with quarantine. Being at home alone until the evening most days these past 2.5 months has gotten to me a lot more than I thought it would. I'm thankful I haven't gotten sick or lost my job but this isolation has been hard. I'm hopeful things will get better soon.5 -

*tag me today
Nope, you're good! That was an oversight on MY part; when someone misses a week they are moved to the bottom of the spreadsheet (removal at no weigh for 2 weeks in a row, I have a eight for you last week!) and I sometimes forget to check there!
Thanks!!
I am struggling too. I know...this is just very hard. Thanks for checking in.2 -

I agree with you that the social distancing and isolation and being at home so much can mess with us mentally and emotionally.
I have been through a wide range of emotions during this time and my mind is not always filled with the thoughts that I want it to be focusing on.
One of the biggest struggles I have had is being totally unmotivated and undisciplined when it comes to pretty much everything during this time.
So many people in my life are using this time to work on to do lists and house projects they have previously wanted to tackle or cooking and baking new recipes or spending more time with God and keeping up with our Bible Study homework or are exercising more or focusing on healthier eating. That is just not me during this time which is disappointing to me. It's not that I am never trying but it is a battle many days to get my mind, emotions, and body in agreement with doing the things that I actually want to do. I have wasted so much time during this pandemic and I don't want to look back and have any more regrets than I am already feeling. I know I am less stressed as I have had lots of down time and I know I have still been doing a pretty good job at the time I give to care ministry but I could be doing so much more if I could just get myself together and I would feel more accomplished and proud of myself. I am going to try again today as that is all I can do. Even if my mind and emotions and body don't feel like it I am going to try to force myself through the motions so I will feel happy at the end of the day with what I achieved.3 -

I feel strongly that anyone who is able to do home projects and meditate and make sourdough bread and cook elaborate meals is an alien from outerspace. I have yet to meet any of these people in REAL LIFE! they seem to exist solely on social media.
I consider the day a success if I manage not to: do e-learning without yelling, do my actual job and change out of my pajamas. Bonus points for: showering, laundry, dishes, cleaning walks and bike rides, prepping three basic meals THREE TIMES A DAY.
So, do what feels ok to you. Whatever we are doing-it's enough. Be kind to yourself and give lots of grace.4 -

Better, but I really need to work on getting my walks in, and the mindless nightly snacking... work in process.

Remembering to be kind to ourselves is so important too... try not to focus on what you think others are doing, give yourself pats on the back for what you are doing right for yourself. Celebrate that you are still getting out of bed, and working on what you need to do to get through each day. This pandemic is hard on all of us, it is very hard to stay motivated. I was thinking about this before I read your post this morning. I have decided that trying to stay motivated is just too hard at this time, so I am just going to fake my way through this, as best I can... don't think too much about it, and as Nike says "Just Do It".
