Playing catch-up with the week, Lol!! 😅1 -
Still feeling a bit rough today. No where near as bad as yesterday though. Just keep getting headache twinges. Need to go shop for more painkillers.
I've also kept Marley off school, her class is rife with positive COVID cases. So I tested her this morning as she started with a new cough etc. (The one she's gave me) and we've both tested negative still.
But she looked so rough this morning I just thought she'd need the day to rest. Plus if her immune systems lowered from her cough she's more likely to catch it so she can chill at home with me today x
Anyway no goals today. Probs not any for the rest of the week. I feel wiped out!3 -
@MLCTX That’s an impressive list you have there👌🏻
@Bex953172 Probably a good idea under the circumstances.
@more_freggies76 I 🥰 your commitment and consistency.
@Snowflake1968 (((hugs)))
I am having a pass day today 😝
We are off to an Easter-themed afternoon tea at 2pm. 🐔🥚🐣🐥

Happy Wednesday y'all!
Didn't get to leave work on time yesterday, but still got most things in. Hubby ate part of my leftover pizza I was looking forward to, but I guess in a way that was better for my overall calories.
My run/walk was disappointing as my knees hurt too much to run, so it was just a walk. Which means I'll be walking my half marathon in September, assuming I can get my pace down to 16min/mile.
I came in to work at 5:30 this morning to prepare for my 9:30 meeting as I was just over it by 4:00 yesterday. Today is going to be a long day...
I teach spin tonight, but have little else on my plate. Assuming more work stuff doesn't smack me in the face,

Still working on regaining my motivation to focus on my health and fitness. So many things have been bogging me down.
I've started a daily/weekly planner, hoping this will help keep me on track a little bit more. This week was a sort of "test" week with it to lock down what I want to track - next week I will make it more official.
If anyone is interested, you can find the planner here for free4 -
Made it through most of the conferences this week, with just a few stragglers next week. Here are today's goals, just to stay accountable.

Very late posting, for my accountability. Rain all yesterday & last night turned to snow before dawn. Decided it was WFH today, dog loved it, hubby interrupted my work, Kitty slept. Had my monthly two on one meeting (2 asst. managers vs. me) via Teams, FB Live & 1 hour webinar, submitted webinar summary form & CPE cert, updated & submitted monthly PAR s/s, not much productive time. Plus washed comforter since Kitty spit up hairball on it during the night. Somewhat hectic. Since tomorrow will also be hectic, posting for Fri as well.

Any word from Facebook? Xx1 -
Haven't posted for a few days, I just didn't get around to it. I've had a really sore stomach/gut, most probably because I didn't eat properly and ate too much "junk" food. So my aim now is to eat better foods. I succeeded yesterday, apart from little cakes I baked. (I don't bake often, my excuse for this is the gas and electric prices are shooting up from today and one of the pieces of advice is to always fill your oven...so when I was making a meal for myself and son I also put in cakes. Probably not the best choice lol).
JFT Friday 1st April
Stay under maintenance
Foot exercises
Back exercises
Fill in forms
Bank
Visit solicitors office
Grocery/fuel shopping
Clean up kitchen
Keep chipping away at parents house

Happy Thursday y'all!
Plans changed yesterday and hubby and I went out for dinner and drinks after my spin class. It was nice. I'm logging it today and I think I stayed close to calories. I'm so exhausted, I'm working from home today. Not doing much as far as goals.

Is anyone up for a April Challenge??
I have 2 options .. because some of you are not trying to lose weight, but more maintain.
For me ... I need to do both of these. I am at my highest weight in 3 years.
I am trying NOT to beat myself up (reading about self sabotage... which I do often!). My year started out rocky, and the past 3 months have been challenging .. hence... old habits came back! So I am determined by the end of the year to be back where I should be.
So I am posting my starting weight to be accountable, and going to also work on planning my meals in the morning .. so I know what I am having each day.
Anyone want to join me!!
APRIL CHALLENGE
Lose 5 pounds the month or April, OR, commit to preplan your day everyday. This can be either just preplanning dinner in the morning, or planning the day before.
April Challenge:
SW April 1st : 207.0
