Friday 4/10
Food: Ugh!
Water: Not enough
Exercise: Nothing

I was on phone and computer too much yesterday with the news of Jim doing better. I just didn't have a very productive day. We got to talk to him a few times which is nice but we are still very dependent on the nurse to set it up. He is too weak to pick up the phone and place the call himself. He also was transferred from ICU to a step down unit so he had a productive day even if I didn't lol! Hoping to hear that he had a good night and that he is getting stronger each day. He needs to get his PT and OT evaluation. Speech still doesn't think he is ready to eat but predict he will be good in a couple of days. The PT evaluation will determine if he comes home or go to a rehab facility. I am hoping he is a little stronger before he is evaluated so they have a true picture of what he is able to do. For today, I need to get my act together and hop back on track. I am going to get my exercise out of the way early, shower and head to the store. I never got out yesterday after all my planning lol! We are going to have Easter Brunch together. We will be outside by the pool but still practice the physical distancing. My son in law and son are still going into work. They are careful but you never know what everyone else is doing. Hope everyone is well. Have a great day!

@Srw32 Welcome! I have a son who lives in Houston. I know Texas is big so not sure if that is by you. I had plans to visit him for a week in March but I am sure you can guess what happened there. I think you will be a great addition to our team. This is a great place to give and receive support. You are off to a great start too! Into the 180s. You are on your way to your goals! Great job!
@ljdanny Maintaining isn't a bad thing. Just keep doing what you are doing or find something else small that you can change. I like the idea of a drive by to see your other granddaughter. I know it will be hard not to hold her but at least you can see her moving around. Even with everything with my husband, I really can't believe this is all going on.
@Zumba_Luvah Nice loss! They haven't blocked the non essentials here yet but I am sure we will be following. I would have never thought to pick up Easter stuff early. I hope you can find some creative ideas for the little ones. Maybe make little coupons for fun things that they are normally don't do. Like reading and extra book, staying up a little later, breakfast for dinner...
@lennoncpa. OMG that picture! I love it! Looks like Sunny is posing for another one.
@tryingagain5 You know, I have always heard that the church is not the building but the people. It really didn't hit home until now when you can actually see that it is true. I would have chosen to volunteer to work too. The other options weren't the greatest. I am glad they have precautions going forward. You have been doing really well being home, especially with getting your workouts in. I know you will continue even with working.
@hope002 Whoo hoo! Good bye 180s! You are doing great! Your neighborhood looks so pretty in the snow. Does it get hot by you at all? Is the warmer weather a shorter season?
@Mrsbell8well Wow! How will you get the applications filled out correctly without being able to meet in person? I am glad you can take time during your day for yoga and a walk. I am sure that is helpful mentally as well as physically.
@brown6267 The scale is moving in the right direction! Nice job!

@Mrsbell8well all that food looks delicious!

@Srw32 Welcome and congratulations on your baby boy! I have 2 sons, and they're wonderful (most of the time, lol).

@sleepymom5 I am so glad that Jim is doing better. Go easy on yourself - you're in a stressful time.

@1theresamcvean Oh my gosh. Big virtual hugs to you. I hope you have a way to find or make moments of peace for yourself.

Check -in time

Food is going good - had a little extra wine last night, but it did NOT lead to extra eating, which I'm happy about.
Yesterday and today I've added Fitness Blender workouts in addition to my daily walks.

I'm having issues with my Fitbit. I had my bluetooth off for a couple of days without realizing it. Then had trouble getting Fitbit to sync once I turned it back on. Finally unpaired it from the app, turned my phone off and back on, and tried to reconnect it, but now it won't recognize the device. UGH!

All that to say, I think my next step is to let the battery run down, then recharge it and try to re-pair it. So, I think I'll have to leave the step challenge until that's done.

Happy Saturday! Finish Strong!

Summer is shorter and cooler with +18 +22 Celsius day and +5 +10 at night. Ocazionaly we do have about a week with over +30 Celsius, but it's rare

Here is a picture of my back yard last July and one this morning

@hope002 your backyard looks so serene and relaxing. Love all the flowers!! Our weather here in Montana is much like yours currently. Its snowing like crazy today

I’m having a relaxing day talking to my son and hanging out in the living room.

@sleepymom5 it’s great to see your updates on Jim’s condition.

Saturday 4/11
Food: good
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 15 minute walk with a friend and her dog, 60 minute walk with another friend in the condo complex, 15 minute walk with another friend and her dog

Cleaned a little, watched a Hallmark movie, walked with friends in the complex, read a book. Now I have a load of laundry in the dryer.

One of my friends from church called and said she was going to make Easter dinner and asked if I wanted a to go container. She loves to entertain and not being able to have people over is really hard for her. I told her I would love to. Since she's making them for quite a few people (most are going to pick them up, I'm supposed to drop one off at someone's house) I offered to help her pay for it but she wouldn't take me up on that. Not sure what she's making but since it's Easter, I'm assuming there will be ham.
