    It's odd. I've gained almost a pound but I'm leaning way out. Need to ramp up my activity 😂

    They last week has been very stressful. Between my Mom with Covid 19, my Dad had a heart attack Friday and Molly it has been crazy. I am trying not to stress eat but it has been tough. Yesterday my eating was awful but today is a new day. I am here cheering you all on. Stay safe and stay strong all.

    I’m so sorry you have so much going on. What a crap year it’s turned out to be on all levels. I’m still praying for you mom and have added your dad in my prayers as well. Have faith especially these days when things are looking down. Stay strong. ❤️

    Daily Check-in

    Today's Goals
    Log all food and beverages honestly
    Drink at least 8 cups of water
    Do morning stretches
    Do at least 2 5 minute walking sessions
    Try one new exercise video for seated senior exercise
    Find one thing funny and share it
    Call sister to stay in touch
    Get outside if weather permits

    Finally got outside yesterday for about 15 minutes. Was sitting in chair in my driveway just soaking up some sun when my neighbor came outside. She put a chair on her sidewalk and we hollered across the road at each other for about 10 minutes. I swear it's the first time I've spoken to a real person in at least two weeks. It was wonderful!!

    Stay safe everyone! Have a good day. :)

    Sunday check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 45 minute walk
    Water: too much tea and coffee!
    Steps 4/5 6,449 (so close to challenge goal)

    I need your guys help. I am going through a lot of stress right now as we all are. I am looking for a guided meditation/relaxation app for my iPad. Anyone have a suggestion for a good one? I wouldn’t mind paying a little if it is worth it. The last few days I have been eating my feelings so I thought when I get the urge to overeat I can turn to the app.

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 40 minutes
    2. log all my food
    3. Stay within calorie goal
    4. Reach walking challenge step goal
    5. 8 cups of water

    Have you had any meals with increased sodium? I had pizza last night and I am up 3 pounds this morning. Definitely did not gain 3 pounds of fat.
