Yes, I will begin again, just maybe after this chaotic week. For months I used to log every night before I went to bed for the next day. I must try to get in to that again. My nicely prepped salad from 2 days ago is still sitting in the fridge. I am just a little ( a lot!) out of control at the moment.

Ok ok Liselyn. You are the expert and queen 👑 of maintenance. I will go back to logging (mostly) this week and see how it goes. I’ve got to have a net loss one of these months. Let’s make it September (How did it get to be September?? Wasn’t it just March?!)
I’m getting pandemic fatigue. I don’t know about the rest of you (well some of you I know) but we still stay at home pretty much all the time except for groceries. I know I should get out in nature more. That inertia thing effects my husband more than me. You know an object at rest remains at rest. It’s hard to get him out when there wasn’t a pandemic. 😂 I miss going out on Saturdays and listening to live jazz. Oh well, I’m doing what we feel we need to do. Some day it will be history. Did I mention I’ve been journaling every (almost) day sine this started (March13th) I am now starting my THIRD journal!!😳 Some day my family of the future may be interested in my first hand account of the pandemic of 2020.
On to September...❤️🤞🏼🦠6 -
Oh Michele - I hear that fatigue and know it well. There are so many things to miss, and the inertia is huge. You are amazing to keep a journal - you can bet there are many people who will be interested. How we manage to get through this will be varied and full of uncertainty. And time warps!
Off to the shower - very late exercise today!2 -
It's the end of the day here. It was busy today and I spent too long at my computer doing continuing ed but I have finished up a couple classes and I am really close on two more. I didn't get my walk in until after dinner and it felt like torture having to wait that long. I really count on exercise for stress relief.
@micki48 I am going to try the no logging route for a while and I will let you know how it goes. I am going to weigh daily and I think I will take pictures of everything I eat. Obviously keeping a food log has a lot to do with math. There is also some solid research showing that seeing what you ate last can have a positive impact on weight loss and how much you eat at the next meal. It doesn't matter if you see the meal in pictures or writing. @jugar you can say I told you so if it doesn't work out! Fair warning I'm very stubborn and can out wait the most stubborn of toddlers.3 -

The wheels really came off in August. It is the first month since March where I weighed more at the end of the month than I did at the beginning. Too much emotional eating and stress. So I am looking forward to turning the page on August and making September better.5

It's a long time since I weighed this much. I have 7 more workouts to do from this 12 week Heather Robertson fitness program, and apart from the weight gain - I am SO much stronger and more toned - I have really enjoyed it.
I plan to finish the program and then go back to mixing my workout routines on a monthly basis.
So this week's plans:
I am going down to London on Tuesday to spend a couple of days with my Mum so on Monday and Tuesday I will finish Week 11 of Heather's program, do some other exercise for the rest of the week and then complete Week 12 next week.
Food wise I think I have been good - although I haven't logged for a while. I will try to get back to it this week. And more veggies. Walking and water too might get me out of this funk.
Anyone else just wanting to be done with 2020?3 -
