    Exercise over the past 90 days ... hoping to be a bit more consistent once I can breathe better and once I finish uni. :)

    Thanks for the heads up on the C2C crochet, Cheri - That looks like something I could definitely work with. I know a few stitches, but the complex patterns make me a little nutso. :) Now, where did I put that graph paper? Your Project Linus afghans look wonderful...

    Ginny - tough memories, much support and many hugs coming your way. I try so hard not to remember the anniversaries of pain, and celebrate the good memories, but they sneak in on you anyway.

    Yesterday, we got the upright freezer that I ordered May 1, and got everything shifted over. Simply impossible to tell what's there in a small chest freezer stuffed to the top. And by the time I get to the bottom, I nearly fall in, so even worse. :p

    Did find a few vegetables (green beans and carrots) from last year this time, right down at the bottom of the chest freezer, and chicken soup base, so will see if I can get a vegetable soup made and canned this afternoon, or at least made and cooled down.

    FAR too hot to even think of soup for dinner, so will have to store it/freeze it, but at the moment I'm just procrastinating getting in there to do my exercise. Then I have to water everything, as it's a dry hot week/weekend ahead.

    Forgot! Non-scale victory... Had to order bras yesterday, as all my medium ones are getting too large, not supportive enough. Not exactly overendowed at this weight, and happy for it.

    Love y'all,

    Katla: I made the decision at the beginning of lockdown in March that I was going to continue my usual workouts using YouTube etc. It’s been quite good as I mostly worked out at home anyway.

    I haven’t really missed my usual busy volunteer schedule as a I have kept up with my groups by email. I have enjoyed the extra time to write/paint/craft/garden and spend quality time with hubby. It has made me re-evaluate my present volunteer commitments.

    I am missing face to face contact with my family, although we do see DYD at least once a week, albeit at a distance. And DSiL and BiL have visited us twice.

    As many/most of you know, I'm in Tasmania and it's winter here.

    So while you're enjoying heat, we're getting overnight temps about 0C and daytime temps about 10C. Frosty.

    Feeling quite chilly this evening and I've even put the heater on in the back of the house!

    I'm debating if I want a heavy dressing gown for my night in the hospital, or if I'll go with a light one as originally planned. Or if I'll care. I may be well asleep under several heated blankets.

    Karen - what a lovely way to touch the infinite loop of existence, even if only for an instant. I did not know you'd lost a child, many hugs coming your way.

    Thanks, Lisa <3 Early third trimester. So has Heather lost a baby, and I know at least one more here…maybe others I don't know about. It redefines your entire existence. Joy would be 28 this year.

    Ginny ... thinking of you today ... hugs.

    KarenVA ... hugs. The inexplicable things children say ... makes you wonder

    Cheri ... love the blankets! I never got past granny squares and, frankly, they weren't square ...

    Tracey ... when you started your job at the nursing home, you wrote that you loved the position. Discovering what has changed may help you move forward. Of course, covid has affected everyone in various ways. Maybe your boss has a situation unrelated to the workplace that is affecting her?

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes.

    Sharon- Thankyou was wondering how well it works. Might stick with light mayo then .I normally use light mayo on hot foods y cold tuna sandwiches can’t tell any difference between it y regular mayo ,but 35cal light mayo vs regular mayos calories means I don’t feel guilty if I grab a 2nd spoonful.

    Karen - I don't think I knew about baby Joy either. <3 I know you always remember about my baby Kate, who would be 42 now.

    Well, I've been to the hairdresser, in my mask, and with just a wet cut. 10 mins max. Good hygiene there. Here I am, feeling like my old self. :D Sorry about the squint.

    Just an inch off, but it makes all the difference.
    Now I've got my weekly Zoom with my old school friends.

    RITA ~ Love your photos and am so envious of your beautiful tan.

    CHERI ~ You do beautiful work and for such a good cause.

    Right ear has been stuffed up off and on for three days due to allergies. I hate taking decongestants, but, find it necessary.

    Welcome Melissa :) Where are you based?
    Your plan sounds doable, but the disease sounds awful. So sorry. I took up running very late in life, so I know how you must miss it. Is swimming possible where you are?

    Hello and thank you (thank you ALL! Wow, this group is busy!) for the welcome! I live in central Florida, USA, so swimming is definitely possible! :smiley: In fact, it is possible almost all year round! I do enjoy swimming, but not as much as my beloved running. I am starting slowly right now and am focusing on movement: my stationary bike doesn't seem to mind!

    Today is day 3 of logging calories again and eating lower calorie density foods. The scale has already dropped 6 pounds of water weight, which proves that my body was not happy!

    I work full time from home (and have done so for the past 7 years, so it is not just pandemic-related), which can be a blessing and a curse when it comes to weight loss goals. One day at a time!

    Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

    Melissa
