    @Snowflake1968 - Awww...I'm sure you miss your sweet girl! My heart goes out to these little ones who have had their lives upended and to their parents and grandparents who can't fix it. My grandsons are struggling too, and I hate that I can't be with them to give them hugs and some TLC. I think that picture captures how a lot of us feel right now. Take care <3

    JFT Goals for Monday, March 30, 2020

    Log everything today
    Be mindful of everything I eat or drink

    plan to stay with baby steps for the next few days ... way too much "junk" in my kitchen and since I have limited will power my main focus will be to eat it, log it, get rid of what I can. I am starting to do the Leslie Sansone beginner walking video; I can barely get through 10 minutes. So, that's also being incorporated into my baby steps. I'd like to be able to walk outside in warmer weather. I do need to do at least one load of laundry which means going downstairs. Still need to be careful on stairs with the bit of virtigo I have. OK ... time to get busy!

    Peak frustration day. The kind of day that would send me to food though seriously I had no time to pig out if I wanted to! Tomorrow will be another, hoping for relief on Wednesday. It’s just a job. And I have to be very happy I have one as others are losing theirs. Perspective, need to maintain perspective! At least I snatched a walk while I could, and did some strength training. Not much, but a little. On to better days (I hope!)

    @Bex953172 - this is so hard for the littles, they just don’t understand. Each province here is doing different things, I’ve only kept up with Alberta. K-3 will be doing 5 hours a week of online classes. I’m not sure how that looks or the details because Jonah told me tonight they haven’t received their email package yet. Michaela was in preschool, and they aren’t doing anything. They actually are being refunded their money.

    Today was just a rough day, home (car problems again), work (everyone was miserable, residents and staff alike), then home again because Michaela was having a rough day again. I pray tomorrow is better. I wish that Alberta and Canada would just institute Stay at Home orders so we could get this done and over with! People are too selfish and won’t stay home.

    I’m not even pretending to have goals or anything right now, I don’t have the energy for it. It was so bad today that I had Wendy’s for lunch and McDonalds for supper.

    Them pics are epic!!

    It's so sad that preschool aren't able to anything! If you'd like I can see what resources or websites have been posted on Marleys class page for activities and you could forward it on for her! If that's something she'd like to do? Maybe keep her occupied to stop her feeling sad x

    The last two days have been awful. I didn't realise the clocks went back and yesterday and the day before everything was just so out of time!

    Breakfast was so late it was nearly lunch, then it was like okay so we have lunch now? And then Out of no where it was time for the kids to go bed and we hadn't even done dinner yet?
    So we made something super quick and got them to bed but then I felt super awake like it was morning!!

    And then me and ash didn't get to sleep til 3am!! But I set my alarm for 9 but didn't have to get up til 10 because the kids slept in too! So they must of had a weird day too lol!

    It was like having 12 jet lag .. because of one hour lmao!!

    Hope everyone is well!!

    @PackerFanInGB - glad your mom’s moving is done. You must be exhausted!

    @teigansdad -“gateway food” is a good term. I’m going to start using it. 😆

    MONDAY:
    - Grocery store (haven’t been in weeks...I’m nervous) 🟢
    - Log food🟢
    - No snacking🟢
    - Homeschool🔴
    - Laundry🟢
    - Dishes🟢
    - Exercise🟢
    - Reach out for yearbook pictures🟢
    - Practice music🔴

    Yesterday was a weird day. I went to the grocery store at 7:30 and by the time everything was cleaned and stored away it was 12:00! I was paranoid about everything that came into the house. I disinfected everything that had to go in the fridge. Any pantry item, I took to the basement to sit for the next 3 days. I’ve read that the virus can last that long on cardboard. I immediately put my clothes in the wash and took a shower. Is anyone else taking these precautions or am I just paranoid?? At least I have everything I need for a while and won’t be leaving the house again anytime soon.

    JFT TUESDAY:
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Homeschool
    - Laundry
    - Dishes
    - Finish my yearbook page
    - Exercise
    - Set up zoom dance class for E

    Giving myself an F for monday.
    Monday goals
    400-500 calories in green. No more than that❌
    Drink more water❌
    No beer or booze tonight.. even though I’m planning on grilling chicken tonight and y’all know thoughts about grilling and beer
    (Gotta get some good sleep)✅
    Easy sufferfest.. push back the hard efforts need to recover legs✅❌

    Went over calories (darn my wife’s potato salad)... I probably could have at least come out in green but I got 1/2 hr into a easy workout and I just had to stop. Felt dizzy...weak and just didn’t have it... dissecting this I’ve seen it coming. Last weekend I had to stop on the trainer as well.. but still went out after and rode outdoors. I think the biggest part is sleep but also think work stress and over training an issue. I think it’s time to back off the trainer for a few days and focus on recovery so I don’t dig myself into a hole. Already last night after I got upstairs from my “failed” training episode I went right for my wife’s homemade banana bread... had two servings... then two butterfinger minis. Luckily Sara was there and kinda kindly pointed out I was being self destructive.

    Sorry for rambling.

    Tuesday goals
    Stay green even if just one calorie
    No banana bread I think it might be a gate-way food 🤔
    No beer or booze
    No trainer today
    P90 workout



    You're lucky she pointed out you were being self destructive lol my partner joins in on the snacks!!

    I think the other day in bed we managed to both scoff down a big bag of share crisps, a big bar of mint aero, a bag of chocolate pretzels and a bag of sweets lol!!!

    Lmfao! I love your totally OTT shopping/cleaning trip! And I will admit, yes, it does sound crazy.

    However, have you seen them people who have bought massive bunkers that are like fully equipped in case of apocalypses or WW3? Like they've had them for years. Well I used to think they were crazy.
    But guess who's not getting coronavirus lmao!!

    So I bet they're the ones laughing at the world now lol!!
    So crazy cleaning or not, you're keeping safe! So don't worry

    If it's makes you feel at ease, then it's worth doing :)
