    Yesterday I truly enjoyed an amazing online graduation celebration - super fun!!! Zoom is a cool online tool. Ladies from my bible study of celebrate recovery book 1 graduates. I played the graduation march while announcing their names and they cheered just like it was a stadium. For book 2, it's important to build their own support team so the party focused of course on Jesus but also them getting to know each other on a better level. My co leader and I made up a Gab Game that spurred a mix of laughs and tender heartfelt moments so they felt connected. Everyone only had great things to say of their hearts were filled, loved seeing everyone again and connecting. No one wanted to take a break but kept going straight. We had a fun raffle too. Afterwards, we closed with heartfelt prayer partnered up in pairs over the phone and some made plans to hang in twos. I was blessed to feel Jesus love in them and with each other. I needed this in such a time as this.

    @RangerRickL We, too, are consuming all home-prepared meals. Although questionable as to efficacy, I also made masks for when we go to the grocery store, which masks will be sanitized between each use.

    Hello one and all.
    I believe it was yesterday I mentioned during this challenging time I decided it was in my best interest to start the day listing what I am grateful for today. It may be nice for us to add these to our daily stats and/or in the "What's on My Mind" section. I will start here and the group can dictate the best place to post. :smile:

    .....

    What are you be grateful for today?

    If this is what strikes a chord for the group, whereever the ongoing listing ends up, I would be happy to participate.

    Today, I am grateful that:
    • I live in a community that is stepping up and voluntarily making necessary responsible changes in behaviors
    • Both my son and I work in a sector where work-at-home can happen and therefore no real income-impact. I know that isn't the case for all.
    • Our supply chains remain unaffected at this point.

    I will post my coping strategies in a separate entry when I post my daily results (which are looking like another winning day today)

    But I will add that , like

    DH has ordered bits&bobs that will become prototype trial masks for the same level of purpose as @w8goal4life mentions.

    I am grateful to have such an inventive and protective lifelong best-friend for a DH.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, and my gym remains open, but I am not sure for how much longer. They practice some pretty extreme sanitation measures, everyone has to carry a spray disinfectant and treat every surface before and after touching. It is pretty rigorously enforced, and the slightest sign of any cold or flu symptoms gets you banned. It is a small gym, and the crowd has really thinned down, keeping a 6 ft distance is easy. But I am not sure the authorities will let it stay open much longer, a day to day thing. I am also walking, and if the gym shuts down I guess I will just do more walking. Today it was just a walk from home, a view from today's walk: 6dczzsg6uplo.jpg

    Exercise? YES

    Calorie budget? YES
    3rd day doing I.F. and breaking fast with protein instead of fats and carbs (avocado toast my favorite) to avoid double insulin spike. Resulted in breakthrough of my plateau and 5.6 lbs away from middle range of normal bmi on Asian American bmi chart. Unexpected result, munchies monster has completely disappeared along with his buddy craving critter. Also, I was weirdly very cold but according to Thomas DeLaur this is because my body is changing ratios of brown versus white fat which is advantageous to have more brown fat. He goes on to say that 40 year olds should do I.F. no more than 3 to 4 days a week. So I'll be taking a I.F. break tomorrow. Hope those enemies stay away.

    Track? YES

    Grateful? See answer above, I think 1st page.

    Finding it very easy to log and stay in my calorie limit while sheltering in place(which is usually what I struggle with), so that’s a silver lining.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 260 minutes -- walking for myself, and then 2.5 hours disinfecting public areas of my workplace (pitching in with other employees) because of the virus
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, well under
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

    How am I coping? On the one hand, I'm glad to be employed. My town looks like a ghost town. Most of the businesses have closed. However, I'm exposed to the public, so if the pandemic gets worse, I stand a high chance of becoming ill. Right now, I can't afford to stop working. I do have a lot of leave I haven't used, but it won't last forever. The situation is alarming for us all.

    @RangerRickL Glad to read that you and Rose are safe and sound in your desert condo. Everybody else, stay well and safe.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, You Tube videos, walking and dance, yoga, planks

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, still trying to figure out Fitbit adjustments and whether or not I should be logging exercise calories or not.

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, down to every teabag and spice!

    Grateful for: Being able to physically move, any time I start taking it for granted I'm reminded how bad my chronic pain was and how awful my health used to be. It's not great now but each time I stop and think that I was able to stand for more than 5 minutes without squatting I'm overwhelmed, nevermind actually working out! Also grateful my family's safe even if I can't see them right now and for my kittens.
