Hugs to you @Pamela_Sue
How is it already/only Wednesday? Genuinely dont know which one of those is true but do know I'm exhausted, with too much to do but also needing the weekend to come round to catch up with this *kitten*.0 -

I agree! I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day- and it's perpetually Monday, or Sunday night and I've stayed up too late. I barely got through my workout today without giving up, and I think my neighborhood walks are saving my sanity. Today's flower is some sort of pretty sage. It's nice to see something besides the inside walls of my house.

Pw: 182.4
Cw: 180.8 (again!)
Okay.... come on just need to keep my head and lose a lb in the next 7 days.... getting back into the 170s will hopefully give me the focus boost i need.
Currently suffering with toothache without the option of a dentist so I'm self managing it quite well but it's taking away my desire to eat all the time which is a win!
Steps were way down yesterday as work was insane, but staring at a screen insane, and the weather is grim this morning with another lonnngggggg work day on the cards so not really expecting am improvement on that front. But not dwelling on that, trying to focus on the positives!
Take care one and all2 -

Good Afternoonish.
Sorry I have been MIA a bit. I am completely exhausted between my 2 jobs.
I ended up taking the day off my main job tomorrow to try to get back into a better head space. I am down a little bit from last week but its better than a gain.3 -

How is everyone?
I am doing okay. I am really working on what I want from myself. It is sooooo easy to fall into a pool of laziness. I don't want that to be how I spend all of my isolation.
I feel like I am fighting just to keep myself moving and try to make some positive changes. I am making a commitment to exercise in some way for 30 minutes a day and keep my body moving!4 -

Thursday weigh-in
PW: 121.1
CW: 119.4
The doctor finally figured out what was wrong with me last Thursday. I had surgery on Good Friday and came home on Easter night. I had a small tumor partially blocking my small intestine (small bowel.) Pathology due back soon.
Although I've lost some weight because I didn't eat for 2 days, and was on liquids only for a while, I don't think the drop will last for long. I'm on a very low fiber diet for a few weeks. That means avoiding a lot of veggies and fruit, avoiding high fiber low carb breads and wraps, and having to eat things like pasta, rice, regular bread, etc. And no exercise other than short walks for a while. That's all exactly the opposite of what I've been doing for the last 2 years. Sooooo.... we'll see what more challenges this brings me. At least there's no more pain when I eat.7 -

Not doing too well. As you know, our stay @ home order is now extended until 5/26...
I don't know whether to cry or go into depression or what? My motivation has just flown out the window....
I'm in a total funk right now....sigh....🙁1 -
@LaurieWrobo, I know this time of year is hard enough- getting snow after you had summerlike weather. Try to enjoy the gifts, no matter how small or short-lived. Remember the "why" you are pursuing better health and the "who" it will affect. I want to live a long life and one that's as unrestricted as possible. I want to age well and be as independent as I can. That means I have to make better choices now to enjoy the benefits later.
I suggest you enlist friends and family to encourage you, and "hold your feet to the fire" so to speak. MFP has a lot of challenges/groups/blogs that can help out. Tone It Up and Blogilates have a loving community, as well as good workouts/blogs. Some of us are leaning on our faith, as I am. I'm part of a (now online) church and home group that meets regularly. Whoever you need to help you stand, seek them out. Be that person to others too.
I think @guitargirl55 is wise when she says she needs to figure out her goals during this isolation. This is new to most of us. We can revisit and revise our goals as needed. I think smaller and simpler is best for me right now. Why don't you journal your thoughts and see where that leads? By the way, I had a good cry today, and I feel better. Oh yeah, the flower of the day is an orange and pink bougainvillea- a combo I hadn't seen before. A nice surprise.

I am ok with that. I think I was dehydrated last week anyway. It’s been a busy week with having to shop for a new refrigerator, trying to make masks and having to hit several stores while foraging for food. I still didn’t get everything on my list, but it’s a start.
I’m feeling almost back to normal and have resumed most of my exercise. Had to push arm day to tomorrow but I feel like I’m missing it when I don’t do it so that’s a good thing. But I’ve gotten lazy with my journaling and I really have to recommit to that this week!2
