12/04: 123.4- Been a little messed up the pass 3 weeks- thought I had started menopause but went backwards which explains alot!!! I am 55 I am over this!!!! Still TOMing!!! 6 days later, migraine for 3 weeks, but now know I did not overeat as much as I thought and was ridiculous in my cravings. Hope to be over this hormonal blip soon and be able to access and monitor in a regular controlled environment this round.
12/05: 124.2- Going wrong way and still messed up hormonally -its been a week now. Today no pickleball, home gym workout, harder to push my here.
12/06: 124.2- So happy to see I held steady. Made my husband his favorite dinner but must have ate in moderation, he had to work yesterday and had an extremely difficult day! While waiting for him drank some wine and talked with my family out west. No pickleball, my secret to calorie burn, yesterday...will play this afternoon. Tried my best o log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.
12/07: 123.0 The scale is a crazy thing- No idea when I went to weigh myself this morning I would be down, don't get me wrong this is great but did not see it coming- I am really hormonally screwed up right now so it must be related to this since I ate slightly over my calories yesterday.

12/07 - 156.3 - Holy moly bloat! The scale bloat is much worse than the visible bloat. Possibly due to water - I definitely didn't get more than 45oz yesterday. Woke up real thirsty, too, which is a tell-tale sign I didn't drink enough yesterday. Didn't think I ate too awful much. Fasted 15hrs, not terrible for a weekend for me. I'm very very tired, been up 10 minutes and already eying a nap kind of tired. Hopefully I can wake up and be functional soon.

Previous Day's Comments12/03 - Wowza, I didn't expect this. Scale even teased me by flasting 149.9 a couple times before settling. My official TOM is here so I'm wondering if that's playing a part in it. Hopefully it also means my hormones are rebalancing from the (potential) medicine interaction. I did admire myself in the mirror this morning - I can see how much different I look without all the chronic bloating. Apparently my fasting sweet spot is 17-18+ hrs instead of 16 to see significant drops in bloating. May be a bit more challenging to reach on a daily basis, but when its just BF and I, dinner is early enough to make it doable. I drank about 112oz (estimating) yesterday. I was real thirsty towards the evening. Fasted 17.5hrs. Was a bit peckish but wanted slightly longer fast. Had back to back meetings that I knew I couldn't make it through, though. BF made steak and mashed potatoes for us for dinner. I tried to eat slowly and mindfully as to not overeat, but I finished my plate and then finally felt the fullness 20 minutes later. Luckily, the stuffed feeling lasted only about 10 minutes and I was back to feeling satiated. Bodies are funny when you try to learn to listen to them. Definitely not the most straightforward at times.
12/04 - Ah man! Honestly, I expected a larger bump up. BF made chicken alfredo for dinner so there's some bloating from that. Fasted 16hrs - he made breakfast as well. Biscuits and gravy, yuuum. Its been a few weeks since I've had that so I decided to splurge. Hit 75oz I think. Didn't measure leftover water from my 32oz water bottle. I'm satisfied with it. Lazy day today, I think. Going to make bread base to refrigerate tonight for tomorrow's chicken gnocchi. Recipe says refrigerating it helps with fluffiness or something? Can be made 3 days ahead before popping it into oven. Guess we shall find out! Found out last night, his ex is letting the kids come down here for Christmas! A week!! They leave the 26th to go back We weren't expecting to have them again until spring break. He bought them presents from us to ship up there but now we want to spoil them some more and grab a few more things for them to open down here with us. EEK! Exciting.
12/05 - I'm shocked to be down. I started fasting after dinner but decided to drink a glass of hot gluhwein after BF told me the 2.5hr call with his mom is about his dad in hospital. Its an ugly situation all around. I felt helpless as I'm the helper type so I sipped my gluhwein and read while he isolated in the garage to work on the bug. Got to socially distance see Fam! COVID cancelled our usual Christmas parade, but the community (about 30 people) got together to do their own. Park on main street, stay in vehicles, and watch them drive personal vehicles decorated past us. We parked next to Fam and got to see the Godkids through the windows (Godson is still showing zero signs of COVID. If anything, he's crazier and happier than before hospital. Think its because he's free from hospital again). I was able to ask about gluten free flour alternative and now I can make enough dinner to drop off chicken gnocchi and bread. FamWife has sensitivies/intolerances so the soup has just enough of those to make her a little uncomfortable, but nothing huge (a little gluten from gnocchi and lactose). So I'll be making a second loaf today of gluten free bread to drop off to her with the soup! At least I know she can enjoy the bread without worry! Cooking and baking will be a good distraction and therapy for me today.
12/06 - Not shocked or worried. Had pizza for lunch as well as homemade bread and chicken gnocchi soup for dinner. A very heavy, high-carb day. Had one small glass of wine, but tummy feels like a hangover. I'm guessing that doesn't have to do with wine and is all food-related. I did have lots of dairy - cheese for lunch, heavy cream and cheese for dinner. Sipping water frequently this morning to overcome and seems to be helping. Managed 14hr fast yesterday and ~75oz water. Depending on when wings are done for Football Sunday and when my fast ends (aiming 16hrs, if I can), I'll save leftover chicken gnocchi for lunch tomorrow. Hopefully I can show a drop in the morning to get back on track.

What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 -
Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 -Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 -Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 -I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 -Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
12/07 -No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.

Round 134 will be spent in Florida. The good is that there are lovely opportunities to get outdoor exercise but the bad is more dietary challenge with restaurants and MIL cooking when we visit her. Goal for this round is to get to 135 or below, which should not be hard given that the past two days I was under 136 (.8 uptick this morning to start off the round
) and this goal would support my goal for overall month of December of 2 lb loss from yesterday, Dec 1.
For my kick it to the curb, my goal for while I am in Florida (this whole round) is to walk/run to Sombrero beach, take a picture of the sun rising, and walk/run back. That appears to be a little over 6.5 miles total. With that milage, it will likely be a lot more walk than run. :P I’ll figure out my next challenge when I get back home.
Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19), not gain over Thanksgiving.

Round 134 – starting weight 136.4
12/3 – 136.0 (florida scale) Successfully handled dining out last night and keeping under calories. I order two items from the appetizer section, tuna tataki and lump blue crab cakes with chipotle sauce. Perfect meal. For main exercise, I have been heading out before sunrise for my alone walks. Yesterday, got a 4 mile walk and this morning I went for 4.5 miles. Working closer to heading for my Sombrero Beach morning.
12/4 – 135.2 (florida scale) Had to change the batteries last night. I have no idea if that impacted numbers either before battery change or after. But this number is within the realm of possibilities given I weighed this same number one day last round. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
12/5 – 134.8 (florida scale) To continue to get through these remaining days in the keys, I have pre-tracked all my dinners and breakfasts, including dining out (accessed online menus). That bit of control is helping me get through.
12/6 – 133.8 (florida scale) Really curious if this scale is accurate or not. Anyhow, yesterday, I found I had woken up before 6 am and decided to go for the “sunrise photo walk” sooner than I planned, given I needed to be out the door by 6:10 to make it to the beach in time for sunrise. I arrive at 6:54 for the 6:56 sunrise. Glad to have done it. Also, sharing a totally different observation. Last night, did take out pizza. Now, my normal method is “more is better” and would have ordered the 16” pizza and who knows what I would have eaten. Instead, I looked up pizza calories and concluded that with a 14” pizza I could have 2 slices safely, but then figure out during the day that will a little tweaking of the rest of the day, I could have 3. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner!
12/7 – 134.6 (florida scale) Makes more sense, but there is also an interesting coincidence (of course we are only at n=2), but I have had two notable upticks since arriving in the Keys. Both were the day after I did a 3.3 mile walk/run. Yesterday, I also did something new. Hubby had been commenting on how we were in the Keys and had been unable to have a drink due to daily calorie allotments. So I proactively looked up a classic margarita recipe and preplanned our day to include one margarita each. 15 minutes later I needed a nap…….

🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Comment
12/3 - 182.4
Another unintentional very low-cal day. I’m finding that a high-protein + moderate fat/low(er) simple carbs breakfast leaves me less hungry all day, and we’ve been having bigger lunches and a small snack at supper time the past few days. Not sure DH would go for this way of eating long term, but I could. Anyway, I’m feeling much better and in control than I have in a long time (which I attribute partly to being off FB for the past couple of weeks) + not scrolling the news feeds constantly! I’m hoping to get some walking mileage in the next few days while it’s in the 40s, before the temp drops and I hibernate indoors! Wishing everyone a good round!
12/4 - 182
I’ve decided to drop the competitive (mostly with myself!) frame around walking, though I’ll likely sign up in the spring for some races again. One thing I’m trying to work on along with another Type A friend is being kinder and less competitive with myself. All my life I’ve pushed myself very hard toward quantifiable goals, which has helped me to a fair amount of success in different realms. But my friend suggested a few days ago that I’m too hard on myself, especially during this weird, difficult time we’re living. “You’d never push a friend that hard or track them in so many arenas — calories, miles/minutes, words [I’m a writer] per day, or beat them up when they fall short.” I think she may be right. Goals are useful, but there’s a time for everything and although I’ll keep tracking calories & weight for a while, mostly out of habit, I’m going to try to cut myself some slack in other areas. I even slept in this morning!
12/5 - 182
Happy Saturday, all!

DH brought home some raspberry sherbet. I indulged a bit. I hadn’t had any in, wow, years maybe. Delish, and now I’m over it.

Monday, Monday...and cold! I guess vacuuming and scrubbing the tub will be my exercise.🧽🪣 And knitting counts, yes? I’m trying to finish a scarf for a friend. Have a love day!

Round 134
Please join us! Starting on 12/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 134
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

12/03 169.9 ~ {Steps 6,981} ~ Spot on with diet and a shorter workout. I pulled a hamstring a couple days ago so basically besides yoga, I’m only talking Pete for his morning walk.
12/04 169.9 ~ {Steps 8,985} ~ I decided to start decorating, haven’t been in the mood lately. 😖
12/05 169.9 ~ {Steps 14,195} ~ I’ve NEVER had the scale the same for 3 days, my sodium isn’t high or calories. The only difference is my workouts. I’m thinking I might have to get another SHORT walk in.on the bright spot my hamstring isn’t as bad.
12/06 168.5 ~ {Steps 6,483} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/6 118.0 DH had headache and slept a lot yesterday and didn’t want to eat. I should have ignored him and fixed dinner early (3-4) because I was getting pretty darn hungry by 5:30 when it was ready! He ate and his h/a improved. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night!!! WHOO HOO! That is unheard of!

12/03 SW: 202/ No exercise today; not enough water; too many nuts as a late night snack
12/04: 203/ The result of last night's salty fatty snacks. Better tracking and water today. 30min circuit training.
12/05: 201/ Off to a good start... Fewer carbs, more water. Power yoga (my edited version of P90X Yoga X)
12/06: 202 / Boo! Two steps forward, one back. Too much sodium in the taco seasoning last night, maybe. Today's workout: kickboxing, then taking the dogs to the park. Fish stew for dinner.
12/07: 201.5 / Didn't get in the kickboxing yesterday; had a very light jog instead. Glad the scale moved in the right direction, though not far enough.

12/03 194.8 It was just bloating. I had pizza last night because I was busy running errands with my children. I do my Zumba every morning for the past month not one day missed. 15 minutes wakes me up and loosens up my muscles. If I get additional workout in great but to me the morning Zumba is part of my routine like brushing my teeth.
12/04: 194.6 Busy cleaning house getting ready to put this tree up. So very active.
12/05: 193.2 storming here all day. Tree trimming all day...

Day/Weight/Comment
12/02 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/03 …..206.2 ….. A low cal day to put things back in order.
12/04 …..203.6 ….. I actually counted how many times I got up last night to pee and in 5 hours I got up 10 times! That is a lot, even for a diabetic. I presume much of this overnight loss is fluid although I don’t recall eating anything that would retain such water! I did eat another low calorie and lower carb day but I didn’t get in many steps or movement. It was a paperwork day. Today I work on Christmas decorating a new house where nothing is planned or measured. Gotta start fresh on where to put things. I am struggling to make decisions.
12/05 …..203.8 ….. Hopefully rehydrated after a large fluid loss.
12/06 …..203.4 ….. I’m still bouncing around in the 203 range so that is a big YAY for me. I thought the big drop between the Dec 3 and Dec 4 would not stick. This just inspires me even more….. Come on Onederland!
12/07 …..202.6 ….. I am determined to not let this holiday season put me in my typical downward spiral into H – E – Double Hockeysticks. 3 small light meals yesterday and no snacks.
12/08 …..xxxxx …..
12/09 …..xxxxx …..
12/10 …..xxxxx …..
12/11 …..xxxxx …..
12/12 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
12/3: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I'm in a bit of an annoying plateau phase; I just can't get below 218. That being said, I can remember very clearly (and recently) when I was talking about not being able to get under 220 for the longest time. Patience is a virtue. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm like 98% on-plan, all the time. And, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I have not been exercising AT ALL. There's a lot of room for me to put more effort into this. With that being said, I'm going to shoot for a workout tonight (at home) when I get off of work.
12/4: 218.0 (-0.2)/28.5 (0.0). I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF 218.X!!!! I just had to say that. My scale was REALLY TRYING to get me down to 217.8 today, but, in the end, it relented and stayed at 218.0. Exercise did not happen last night, at least not what I was trying for originally (and I wasn't "mad" at that at all). My brain is ready for my body to release some weight, but apparently brain and body are not on the same page. Perhaps my body is rebelling, angry that I have not followed through with my promises of exercise. You're right, body. I need to get you moving.
12/5: 217.4 (-0.6)/28.4 (-0.1). Sweet. That's all I was asking for (finally spying sub-218.0). My brother-in-law and his fiancee are coming over today for outdoors social distancing. We're going to order out, and I'll get a delicious keto-friendly salad. I feel a little guilty having them come over with the COVID-19 craziness currently happening (20,000+ cases per day in CA and over 200,000 nationwide), but I'll be masked at almost all times (except while eating/sipping), we'll be socially distanced, and, again, we'll be on my covered patio outside.
12/6: 218.0 (+0.6)/28.5 (+0.1).
12/7: 216.4 (-1.6)/28.1 (-0.4). Yesterday happened (uptick on weigh-in), but it was after a night of food and drinks (stayed within keto, however). I was great yesterday, though, and my weigh-in agrees with me! I haven't been "exercising" per say, but I have been moving my body around more. Baby steps. Today is my rotating day off (every other Monday), so I'm home. I have tons to do, but I'll try to get a little exercise in today. I felt stuck (severe plateau) 3 days ago, but it finally feels like things are moving. This feels like my first WHOOSH in a while (at least since my initial weight loss). Additionally, anything I have been doing in the last few weeks has pretty much been without exercise; there's still LOTS of room for me to improve, most of which will aid me in my fitness/weight loss goals.

Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Round 133 (8): 138.8 to 137.0 (-1.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Enjoy the holidays and all the associated treats in moderation. Focus on enjoying the moments, not binging on the sweets.
- Train to be able to run a 5K without stopping by New Years Day.
12/3 - 136.8 - In for another round! Really want to work hard and lose another pound or two before Christmas. The temptation is starting already though - my daughter declared last night that she wants to make Christmas cookies today. I’ve got the sugar cookie dough defrosting in the fridge - we’ll have so much fun! I just have to limit myself to one cookie.
12/4 - 136.0 - Hello, mini-whoosh! Haven’t had one of you in awhile. Had a great day yesterday - we did do the cookies though we used leftover orange frosting, so they kind of ended up as Halloween/Christmas hybrid cookies. 😂. The one I had was delicious though! And it’s great to be able to model healthy attitudes toward food to my daughter. Today she’s saying she wants to go exploring (and I want to get us outside as much as possible before the new stay-at-home order kicks in here in the Bay Area) so I’m hoping to take the kids to a nearby open space. We’ll see what happens when I tell them that means they have to put on their shoes. 🤣
12/5 - 136.2 - My county announced yesterday that we are implementing a new stay-at-home order starting on Sunday. No non-essential travel, no social gatherings of any kind, non-essential businesses shut down again. We’ve been in a social “pod” with one other family and our twice-weekly play dates have been a major part of the structure of our week. I know we are incredibly lucky to be in a position to weather this relatively easily, but it’s still a blow. However, we will absolutely do what we need to in order to help slow the spread of this virus. Now I need to focus on helping my kids through this and not just turning to cookies, cakes, candy and all the holiday treats to “make myself feel better.” *sigh*
12/6 - 136.2 - A short workout this morning, before a pancake breakfast with the family and a virtual book club Zoom call. Just finished getting most of my meal prep done - carrot cake overnight oats for breakfast, chipotle shredded chicken for lunch and a Tuscan chicken stew in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Whew!
12/7 - 136.2 - Yesterday didn’t go so well - slipped and had several more cookies than I should have last night. We’ll see if it affects the scale in the next few days. I did manage to stop myself from eating even more of them - and I was beating myself up for awhile about it. But I spent a chunk of my yoga/wind-down time thinking of all the progress I’ve made and everything I’ve accomplished, and how one time of a couple hundred extra calories can’t undo that. I’ll do better today, and tomorrow and the next day.

12/3 - Walked/jogged 1.57 miles last night. I’d like to find a good C25K program that I could jump into - I don’t need to start from the beginning, but I’d like a plan to help me get to a full 5K without breaks.
12/4 - Walked/jogged 2.1 miles last night. I also downloaded the C25K app - I think I can start with Week 6 and work up from there. Hardest part will be getting the dog to cooperate!
12/5 - So...I hope this is ok, but after a lot of thought yesterday, I am going to change my goal for this challenge. I do still want to be able to run a 5K without stopping, but this new stay-at-home order made me rethink whether that’s what I need to be working towards right now. As I explained above, my kids (and I) are losing our only social outlet - our play dates with our “pod family” - which have been a major factor in keeping my 5-year old (and therefore me and my almost 2-year old) grounded. Even with them, it’s been rough on her and she’s acted out a lot... and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been as patient and calm as I’d like to be when she has. I think it’s a fitting way to end 2020 by focusing on connecting to and centering myself - so I don’t turn to food to deal with this stay-at-home situation, and so I can better support my kids as they go through it as well. Very very long way of explaining that I’m changing my goal to 15-20 minutes of yoga and mindfulness meditation each night before bedtime. If anyone has suggestions for videos/apps they like, I’d love to hear them.
12/6 - No yoga yet, but I sat and just breathed for about 10 minutes last night after everyone else went to bed.
12/7 - Did a 12 minute set of “wind down” yoga and then some sitting and breathing before bed last night

JGM10D Round 133🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 133- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 133
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/03: 210.4 / happy to start another ten days that matter. It’s easy to see how an unexamined life can eb away if you aren’t paying attention.
12/04: 209 / Hope you all have a great Friday! This weekend I am going to try to figure out how to get more active. Yoga with Adrienne is my go-to also when it comes to virtual yoga. Before the pandemic I was practicing twice a week in a class at the gym.
I think about YWA a lot…. I just need to unroll the mat and do it!
That reminds me of my Meyers-Briggs personality analysis. I think it is INTJ. (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) I might be an F instead of a J. Feeling. One of the traits is that if an INTJ thinks through how to do something (which they always do before hand), they somehow think in their memory that they have already done it. HA!
On the Enneagram scale I am a five.
12/05: 210.2 / yoyo

12/07: 210.8 / Yesterday, I not only rolled out my matt, but I did some yoga.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.
