Happy Wednesday y'all!
Yesterday was a whirlwind of crazy at work, but things settled when I got home and I was able to nap. The nap was wonderful as always, but I have been totally slacking on exercise this week. Late nights at the office or late night calls were to blame the first half of the week, but yesterday was all on me. I was just soooooo tired. Even after my nap, I went to bed at a little before 9:00 and slept through the night. Had a 7:00am call this morning that I took from home then I got ready and came to work. Just couldn't drag my bum out of bed at 5:30 to get ready and make it to work by 6:45 to catch the meeting there. Oh well, I made the meeting and since my camera was off no one knew any different.
Today, I need to focus on some other issues at work that I've been neglecting due to the one large issue. Hopefully I can wrap up some of it. Then I need to go to mom's and then teach spin. At some point I need to do mom's taxes. I'm running out of time, and they are a little more complicated than I anticipated.
Any-who...

5) Laundry ~ stupid me, I accidently bumped Energy Saver button on dryer & heaviest load took forever until I split load & reset dryer / 6:30 Big Mouth & The Power Tool Horns (free concert online) ~ tech issues with livestream, have recording on at work now / declutter upstairs hall during concert ~ only two bits undone / declutter another 15 min. ~ yay / prep overnight oats & clothes for PT appt. ~ yes / another ta-da? Lent service online TA-DA
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / alarm? 6:15 for some PT exercises (PT appt. 8:30) = 2/6
JFT R 4/7
1) 1 complete set PT exercises before shower / PT appt 8:30
2) Wish mom & dad happy anniversary ~ it's their 66th!
3) Move hourly / try more stairs for knees

5) JJ in office ~ will she return BC-CC folder (reviewed) to me? / GA-S audit testing / print Chat from W webinar & review / print/download CPE cert & submit with webinar summary form / set up PRO, HW s/s for next week (shortened by PTO) / emails current

7) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises before work)
This morning, I got up early enough so did one complete set of PT exercises before I went to my PT appt. Jessica is happy with my form. My knees have improved, I don't have pain during PT or routine activities, and one exercise now "looks too easy" for me, she says. Jessica thinks we've addressed the basics, but sees that my balance and my hips would benefit from different exercises, that would help with my overall goals for again walking in race events & hiking. So she's throwing more challenges into the mix. Bring it on!

The zoom AGM was not pleasant, a bit of aggression which I really don't like. As soon as it was over I made a large mug of tea and had one 30 calorie cracker. This is an improvement, in the past I would have eaten a lot more than that!
@mytime6630's April challenge has really helped me this week. No more snacking without thinking, and trying to make healthy choices. Yesterday I made a spinach omelette, first time I've ever eaten spinach! I'm accepting I can't eat everything I want if I want to lose weight.
Today might be a little harder, as once a week I take something out of my son's freezer and cook it for us to use it up. Today's is higher calorie as it's pie. Will really need to plan the whole day's calories.

@littleblackskirt I too am finding the 5# challenge keeping me more on track. Not perfect, but better.
YAY @beachwalker99 for dropping into a lower decade! That's my mini-goal, I keep flirting with it.

6) Breadsmith / grocery shop / Sam's Club / call mom & dad / clean kitty hallway / fold load of whites / take laundry upstairs & put away ~ most, not all / declutter 15 min? / wash (some) dishes? haha guilt trip worked, hubby loaded dishwasher & washed the rest

1. log all food Got into the cheese last nite ... then that led to eating another protein bar. I was not even hungry!
2. go for walk or gym Already went to gym, but so tired, not the best workout. Hoping for a walk later this afternoon if the wind dies down and it gets a little warmer Daughter came out, and it was so cold and windy... so no walk. But at least I did have a small workout at the gym.
3. look for paint to repaint mailbox Don't have any. . so on our list to buy.
4. work on quilt Starting to put the blocks together .. it is going to be so pretty!
5. help hubby .. ha.. someday we really will retire I hope!
6. april challenge .. plan meals. Not sure what to make tonite.. might be BLTs sandwiches since I have bacon on hand and tomatoes.

Ended up making BLTs for lunch, so also made Tuna and Noodles . So ate a little heavier than I normally do.. which led to mindless eating at nite again. But .. I've had 4 good days prior, so I have to be OK with this and not beat myself up.

@mytime6630's April challenge has really helped me this week. No more snacking without thinking, and trying to make healthy choices. Yesterday I made a spinach omelette, first time I've ever eaten spinach! I'm accepting I can't eat everything I want if I want to lose weight.
