I had a bad week this pandemic is making this harder. I did not miss my calorie & exercise goals by 20,000 calories! Ugh I hate weeks like this -
Charles, you're right about how some weeks suck- and they suck the life right out of you. The wind in my sails seems rather still right now too. I think this quarantine is tough on everyone, as our lives are so disrupted and stressed-out (even if we aren't sick). It's times like these that show us what we're made of. There's so much I can't control, and that sucks most of my motivation out the window. We need to focus on what we CAN control, and who we have in our lives that we can give love to and receive from. This is where grace comes in. We're almost all newbies at this, and being patient and forgiving is difficult- especially with ourselves.

My flower photo of the day is a pretty yellow columbine, a real surprise to find a familiar woodland plant growing in a shady patch of a neighbor's yard. It took me 5 years to come across these beauties. I had these growing in my WI and NY gardens, so they're dear to my heart. There is still joy to be found during these difficult times!

I've finally gotten an answer about my severe abdominal pain these past 4 weeks. I had a CT this morning that showed a partial blockage in my small intestine. Doctor feels Ineed surgery as soon as possible. I'm meeting with a surgeon in the morning.
So this explains why I haven't been able to move much lately, and have such pathetic step counts for the past 2 weeks, LOL! Here they are... better late than never.

Ok this may sound silly but it has worked for me for a long time. A nurse told me about it. Smooth move tea!! It's in the tea isle at Walmart drink it before bed(add a lil sugar/honey and milk for taste) when you wake up pooping happens!! Seen people who were gonna have surgery no longer need it!! May take 2-4 days of drinking it to get a large block moving but it will!! Give it a try at least before you go under the knife!!! I use it weekly now just to keep things moving....rock belly is the worst!!! Sending you strength!!!!1 -

Starting to feel human again! My wheezing and rattling have improved. Still coughing so I need to stay home and not scare people! I did yoga and one workout, which was pretty ugly. It’s amazing how quickly one can get out of shape! Hoping to start my walks back up tomorrow. Weekend plans include pulling out sewing stuff to make some masks.4 -

The farthest I've walked is to the mailbox and back, due to the cold and rain. My fingers have been going numb in the house (yes the heat is on, just Raynaud's acting up), so I'm not too thrilled about wearing mittens and a mask outside. Fortunately, we have some lantana blooming in the front yard, so I still have a flower photo to share. Have a great weekend and Happy Easter!

Hi All,
Thanks @Beka3695 for checking in... wanted to be active here this week but just haven't been feeling it. Trying to keep active both body and mind but struggling, and well, Easter chocolate......
I think my weight on Thursday was 182.4..... this morning I'm up to 185 😬 today is final day of this holiday eating and then I'm back on plan and tracking and hoping to get a loss on the 182 next week!
Started today with a weighted HIIT session and ran 7.35km yesterday which is my furthest in ages.... so, if i sort food back out I will find those damn 170s!!!!! I will!
Hugs to one and all, will be back with a less selfish post soon!

Been stress eating the past couple days. Hopefully I can burn it off this week, and shake back. Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates. My goal is 175-180 lbs by my birthday in October. Feel free to add me. About to start a 24 hour prayer fast. God bless.5 -
I decided soup sounded good today. This is just kale, onion, celery, garlic, zucchini, tomato, carrots, chicken broth and seasonings.
It smells delicious and my sample bite was yummy. Can’t wait to dig in!4 -
Spent way too long in the kitchen today, lots of cooking and made sfogliatelle (with the hubby) that is resting in the frig overnight. Decadent Italian Easter pastries will be filled, baked, and consumed. In the meantime, enjoy another flower from today's walk, a Peace Lily. How appropriate. May we all find some peace among the chaos these days.

That soup looks fab @Beka3695 .... I've planned soup lunches for next week to help me get back on track.
Beautiful flower @SheilaCali and your food prep sounds wonderful
@ScottyTheGent and @laurenebargar I'm also in club gain this week.... recording losses at this time is tougher than ever but we'll support each other to success.
@TheMrWobbly did you sneak in a birthday mention a couple of pages back? If so belated birthday wishes!
Talking about getting back on track when I've just had easter egg for breakfast seems to be a bit of an oxymoron..... but it's Easter Sunday and this is how I do it!!!
Week is planned out, food and exercise... I'm using today to to plan out my work week and make sure I'm ready to 'go back' on Tuesday. Work life balance is going to be my absolute aim next week.... let's see!3 -

Congrats to all of the winners and everyone managing to post a loss on what was a tricky week!
What can we do as a team to help each other have a better week on the scale next week, if that's what people are aiming for right now, of course?
I dont think there's anything wrong at allwith shifting focus during these crazy times.... but for me, I want the focus to be tracking food and exercising regularly as they are two things that I can take control over right now.
