Tuesday April 7
I missed posting yesterday and failed to do my exercise (first day missed since the start of the bunny challenge). I need to catch up with my logging again! I Leo need to log my bunnies on here.
@PackerFanInGB it’s lovely that you mum is happy in her new house and yes I knitted the pullover myself. My granny taught me to knit many years ago and I’ve restarted after a long break. I have some new wool and can knit while keeping my mum company.

@PackerFanInGB -- thanks! I've added the Happy Yoga vid to my Watch List. It's nice to have 2-3 to choose from. I appreciate the info on the massage. Sorry to hear you have lymphedema which is causing so much pain for you. I do know how debilitating pain can be. I am interested because I have swelling in my foot, ankle, and lower calf on one leg. The doc said to use the RICE procedure which does help for a bit ... then it's back. This may be something that could help me. There is a DIY vid on Yahoo that explains how I can try to do it myself that I'll give a try ... especially since I can't get out to a doctor because it's not "essential". I had a radical hysterectomy about 15+ years ago and they took a huge number of lymph nodes. If that were part of the problem, wouldn't this issue have risen before now? Oh well, hopefully the DIY vid will help. Thanks so much for the info.
I'll definitely let you know if I find any others. Have a good night!!

Terri, this is awesome! I do a Gratitude journal at night where I list 5 things I'm grateful for that day, but thinking about it at the start of the day is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this!
@maryrobinson40 What a beautiful picture of the sunrise! Pink skies are my favorite... I have to live vicariously through you to see the sunrise since I can't seem to get my rear-end out of bed early enough to witness it myself!
😂😂😍 Trust me Sis... I don't get up often enough to catch it either and that one made me soar.2 -
Sharing is Caring is what we teach our kids so I'm taking my own advice..

Got exercise today but paid for it because I chose to walk. My shin splints got much worse. Iced a couple times tonight but really need to keep off now. Frustrating because I finally got back to jogging after at least 3 years and now I have to sit out for awhile and slowly build up again. Grrrr. Otherwise a nice, productive day. A little bit of work, a little home chores. Feeling my head start to clear which will be more helpful later.
I’ve been frustrated in that I’m eating in a similar manner and exercising well, but on my walk today I realized there are a few things different about being at home that may be contributing to my weight loss stall out:
a) cortisol up from stress—can partially address with daily meditation
b) when I drove to work, I worked out before leaving. Now I’m exercising more middle to end of day. Maybe I’m losing the benefit of that metabolism rev and it’s just enough to keep me from losing. —can address by moving back to morning workouts
c) when I drove to work I listened to HalfSizeMe to stay motivated, and I spent my morning exercise in deep thought. Past 2 weeks the only time I had to listen to podcasts was while out walking/jogging and I lost out on deep thought/planning sessions. I think this also affected my stress and my focus each day. —can address by having at least one silent exercise session each day (I think better when moving)
I hope these tweaks help me out. Trying to hold on and be ok with at least maintenance but it’s gnawing at me that I can’t even blame it on fun nights out, comfort eating, or anything similar. Just my body refusing to let these pounds go!
Tomorrow!

Well, I HAVE really cut back on how much I'm eating, I'm actually NOT craving stuff like I used to and I am STILL at the same weight after 2 weeks! WTH? Starting to feel a little depressed about it...but am trying to be happy that I'm at least not gaining right now.
I totally feel your pain.

@PackerFanInGB Hi Tracie, thanks for the kind words! It is so frustrating, isn’t it? I did get my head in a better space today with some specific things I’ll try to do different (see my tasks post) but right now I can only hope the small tweaks will make the difference. But like you said—at least not gaining! Focus on our gratitude!
So...grateful for beautiful weather, my general health, and my sweet husband! Here’s a pretty flower arrangement he made for me from the yard today.

@PackerFanInGB (about PM)
You've not done anything wrong!!! I'm just worse at replying than you are so it seems!
I WILL get back to you. I've just typed out a response twice and lost it twice so I had to stop before I launched my phone at the wall lmfao
But everything's good do you use what's app?2 -
Forgot to write my goals yesterday...
Was in the red... oh well
Goals for today
Stay green
Workout
Mow lawn
Hang with family
I have a meeting I could go to but with the COVID planning and what that means to my schedule I’ve been swamped with work emails and I gotta day it’s pretty much been trying to ruin my vacation.
I feel just as stressed as if I were at work.
Adding to my goal for today... don’t checking my email more than twice4 -
Me going out for bits last week all geared up haha! I took the pic for ash because he doesn't believe I wear my protective gear because he knows I get paranoid over my looks
However. After Time of Month, I had a horrendous breakout of spots all around my lower face.
And the mask.. covers it all hooray!!! No one knows
Also can I ask you all a question...
So I know some of you know my age. But how old would you say I LOOK. But I'm forever getting IDd for stuff. (It's THINK 25 over here so if you look under that they ask)
Some b!t€h yesterday IDd me and she was younger than me! And I knew, she just did it to be a cow you know?
I've temporarily lost my driving licence ID (it's somewhere in the house lmao!) and don't feel comfortable taking my passport out and that's all I have!
Went to another shop.. no problem.. *eye roll*2 -
Love the Icelandic sweater and the beautiful irises. Mother Nature is unperturbed, as she dons her best threads.
For those of you with kids, let them learn by doing. Get them involved in cooking. And antthing else you are doing. Any create things together. Art competitions are good fun.3 -
Afternoon all. It’s another beautiful day, and I have lots planned.
I am grateful...- ...that I got what I needed at the grocery store.
- ...that I have made some masks to wear when we HAVE to go for essentials
- ... that the supermarket strictly enforces the 2m rule and limits the numbers allowed in to the store.
For all those essential workers still going out there....
🙏🏻 Thank you for your service 🙏🏻
Everyone else, please stay home!!!
What am I doing to keep busy?To name a few...Keep your chin up!- I’ve joined a 14 day on line art challenge (search for painters on line on Facebook)
- structuring my day
- morning and evening meditation
- Using the internet to ‘talk’ to family
- crochet, jigsaws, journaling, gardening, reading, writing .......
- HIIT videos off YouTube,
- yoga/Taichi
- Walks with DH
- Cleaning! Cleaning! Cleaning! 😂
- Decluttering
- Stress relievers (search YouTube for Paul McKenna)
The only failure is giving up!
