Hi all,

@1theresamcvean - sending good vibes and hope you're feeling better soon x

@lennoncpa - I had to laugh at 'midnight trips to the gas station', dear God, have been there As always, loving the Sunny pics

@pacsnc6 - hope the chemo goes ok x

@tryingagain5 - sounds like work is pretty different but at least they seem to be making the effort to keep you all safe

@Mrsbell8well - it sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now, so try not to be so hard on yourself, a few pounds during stressful times isn't the end of the world - I hope things have quieted down a little for you

@Cafelelia - sounds like you are back on track the past few days have fun braving the snow lol

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - he's just adorable, I agree we may need to balance out the puppers a bit, shall try and add some of mine later

@sleepymom5 - I was totally welling up watching that video, so glad you have him coming home. Also how lovely to see the reaction of the staff, can tell they really care and am sure he was very well looked after (tho no doubt happy to be home!)

Have been doing ok, calories mostly on track. Had a bit of a biscuit blip the other night, which reminds me why I shouldn't have them in the house (they weren't even mine, have had to go buy the flatmate more and tell him to keep them in his own room lol!). I have been trying to cook more rather than just grabbing lazy food, made a huge pan of veggie spicy noodles last night so have plenty of leftovers at least.

Sleep pattern is still a bit all over the place, didn't sleep well last night so was 'at work' at 5.30am. Thought I might as well do something useful and suppose it got some stuff out of the way. The government is finally putting their 'coronavirus employee retention' system online next week, so need to sort out all the claims for the company so we can try and get some money back for the wages paid since we've been closed. How long it will take to come through though is anyones guess

Exercise has been a bit rubbish, have been attempting a 30 days yoga program but I will admit I'm pretty terrible at it I don't know what it is with yoga, I can do pilates okay but I just don't seem to bend right for yoga! Ah well, perhaps if I stick with it I may improve. The cats are very nosey about it though, keep winding round and under me, which is not helping the concentration (but is very cute so I can't really mind).

@lennoncpa
That is so adorable! Sunny even looks like he knows he's in trouble but is also saying ""hey, I'm cute and adorable, doesn't that get me out of time out"

Glad you guys liked Bazinga, he certainly has a cool personality. I got a photo of him today passed out looking comatose from my daughter feeding him too many treats. There were still treats sprinkled around him. So I did what anyone would do - I piled the treats right on top of him and he didn't even move lol.

I don't know what's up with me, I haven't been feeling great at all in the past few weeks. Just nerve pain, some migraine symptoms on and off, and a lot of dizziness as well. It's not completely unusual, I've had all these issues before, but I don't usually get them for so long at a time now. I started getting a proper migraine this morning so I took my med for that and went back to sleep for a few hours. It mostly went away but I've been dizzy for a few days straight and I'm still getting nerve pain. I managed to get a full day of work in, but it's almost 6pm and I don't even have 600 steps for the day, nor do I think I'm going to manage many more.

I'm calling today as a maintenance day and eating more, I think my body might need a bit more nutrition to stop feeling so dreadful.

@podperson1 Your cats are awesome, love the almost bat-symbol on Dresden's nose! My cats are nosy around Yoga too - Drax (my black cat) tried to climb on my head the other day. And every time I stretched my arms out, I seemed to hit him! I found with yoga that it really is the more I do it the easier it is, and if I don't get something at first I just give it my best go. I don't always bend the right way either lol.

@lennoncpa You are certainly not the only one with "midnight" trip habits. Years ago for me it was it was the drive-thru at 11pm, but I have so many many many years of hiding food and secret eating, making excuses for how much I was buying, always going to different shops so I didn't get questioned etc. These days I know that if I start feeling like I need to hide what I'm eating, it's a sign of my ED thinking taking over, but it's apparently something that many people do! Also, that baby Sunny pic - adorable!

@1theresamcvean I'm thinking of you, hope you're doing okay and kicking some virus butt!

@sleepymom5 Yay for Jim coming home, and love the video

Yet another gain! Another 3 week lockdown here. I’m still working but stress eating when I’m home. No excuses, just really struggling and no inclination to do about it 😞.

I hope you are all well and staying safe xx

Food: over

Exercise: 15 minutes low intensity, 20 minutes medium intensity, 60 minute walk with friend

I didn't accomplish much with my day. Spent too much time on my phone and too much TV. I had planned on getting some things done today but had no motivation to do them. I should have made myself get up and do something. I had done pretty well with my food for the day and then ate more even though I wasn't hungry. Probably ate out of boredom.

I know some of you have posted your goals/plans for the next day so tomorrow I plan to:

Clean up kitchen
Clean up papers on coffee table
Clean downstairs bathroom
Vacuum/dust bedroom

Now that I've posted these things I'm going to have to make sure and do them.😊

i am getting pretty bored staying home. i missed my zoom staff meeting yesterday, last week they said it would be at 1pm and i checked for the link around 11, well they sent a link out at 1 saying its at 2. i didn't see it til night time, oh well. they know i don't check my email often and i told them to text me for stuff like that so hoping there was nothing to important going on. it snowed here today, only a dusting, i was going to go walking but my husband wants to go get curb side beer. i did just do zumba online so i did get my exercise in. i am trying to get 10,000 steps a day. i do have over most days and close to it 2 days so that makes me feel good. hopefully next week for me will be better on the scale than my 2 ounce loss this week.
