Yes, I think I had better. I'm disappointed, that's for sure. I thought this might just be a day or two like it was for my husband when he had Covid, but it doesn't look like that'll be the case for me. Thank you!
Thank you to everyone for the well-wishes! I'll be back!
You know what? I think I'll just give you and EXC (excused) notation for the next 1 or 2 weeks, and that way you can let us know how it is going and get back to your Sunday weigh-ins as soon as possible. If it really takes more than that amount of time, it is always possible to move into the support team. Keep it positive! You come back when you can, drop by any time.4 -
@jugar CW: 179.8 If there was a way to put in a "sharp", I would have. Suffice it to say that I'm too close to that previous "decade" than I want to be. This too shall pass. I believe I need to add to my water consumption, decrease added salt (again), and add 2 more servings of veggies each day. I'll let you know how it goes!
It was good to catch up about family things today. There are so many things going on including my son-in-law's grandmother died on Wednesday night. She was 97.
Tomorrow will be a bonfire for my younger daughter's birthday (a few days early) with just 1 or 2 additional people for the celebration. We'll have a "charcuterie tray" as well as fruit, olives, and veggies. Beef hotdogs are available for those who want to roast them on the open fire. Easier than chestnuts, for sure!
Have a lovely weekend. Sending positive energy for all with health issues and general "snags" in their nets. Tomorrow is a new day!

Nothing is going as I planned, it is too hard drink water, but I know it is necessary. I have to do at least 30 minutes of physical activities, the only one i do more than 30 min is with the mouth 🍽🍽4 -

I was down weigh more yesterday but TOM hit me last night coupled with a day of not awesome eating. But it's still a loss! Hopefully it starts a good trend for this year3 -

Yesterday was tough for me. Working from home is an adjustment and I don't have the gym on my way home now. I miss my gym friends and the atmosphere but it's difficult to justify the 30-45 minute drive there and back, especially in the cold with these road conditions. I'm going to make today better for the exercise to combat the SAD that's been hitting me4 -
Hello, I have had a long weekend which was a welcome surprise! Thursday and Friday were snow days for the whole family. We didn't get a huge amount of snow(8-12 inches) but we then ended up with freezing rain. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment but had to cancel because we couldn't get off the road. It was a sheet of ice and one of the new neighbors was stuck blocking the road. So I went home and did some meal prep. I finished with 10 dinners in the freezer. Just trying to be more prepared like @DD265 !
Felt good to have that done. Just hanging out at home and getting outside a bit in the snow ❄5 -

Thank you! Today, I feel like I had a break-through. The fever and cold sweats are gone, and I had a decent night's sleep last night! Ibuprofen is helping with the headaches now, and I feel as if I have a serious sinus infection instead of a fever/flu. I want back in! I won't do any exercise today, but I'm shooting for tomorrow, even if it's just walking a mile on the treadmill. I will do my regular weigh-in tomorrow, and I will begin tracking my steps again as well.
My fingers were crossed that Covid would make me lose my appetite, but instead, I ate like a horse. My family kept buying me treats, and I certainly indulged. A lot. I don't think illness has ever made my appetite disappear.
Thank you again for keeping up with my drama! Here's to the rest of the month!5 -

1/7: 20 minutes stairclimber + 6115

How did you lose one kg? You really did! You are doing great! Even if your plan got a bit chaotic, something must be working. You don't "have to" do 30 minutes of physical activity. You have to do maybe 5 minutes. Commit to that. Getting started is always the hardest, but if you just say 5 minutes, no workout clothes needed, I'm going to move - get a short routine you know you can do no matter what, and start there. Once the routine is in place, it is easier to get more elaborate later. There are also some great videos to follow along, that can make it fun.

Missing the gym is annoying. But not driving in bad conditions is pretty good, eh? Videos. There are some really fun ones. Go for it! Getting some of the endorphin effect from exercise makes SAD ever so much better. And some good lights - my sister @EvMakesChanges might have some good ideas about that. They can really help. Hugs to you

So far, exercise is going well, although I did not get out for a snowshoe or walk today. I have stuck to the strength program I committed to for 30 days - day 8 done today, and it is starting to feel better. Playing music every day is the thing I am slacking on, weirdly enough. I am so used to having upcoming concerts, recordings, etc. to work on that just playing to keep it up is hard to get excited about. I'm kind of doing it, but not enough. Need to find a better routine around that. It isn't food or fitness-related, but it is a big part of what keeps me going. This pandemic has blown all the ensemble possibilities away, and I am not doing well adapting to that...4 -
