Welp - I feel pretty good today. Got all of my habits so far and have redeployed a strategy to combat the night eating. It is often tied to having a couple of drinks so tonight I am sticking with one - and I have a mocktail early, have dinner and enjoy the one drink later in the evening. The food is in so no rush of alcohol and it's late enough so that I don't feel like having another. I also just....feel a bit stronger today. More resolute and in a good head space. Not going to jinx it by going on and on; suffice to say, I feel a bit more like Successful Maria today and that's a nice feeling.

The position I spoke with the guy for yesterday is not interested in a remote worker but they may want a second hire once they secure the first person, and that is a possible remote position - I'm not willing to relocate. What I want to do is somewhat niche in the clinical research realm (Trial Master File (TMF) Manager/Director for anyone who may know what that is) and there is a need. It may be hard to come by as quickly as I might like so I am looking into setting myself up as a contractor. Onward and upward, right...? =>

@Wishusdonna I was so tickled to see your update! What a chuckle about your duty, or dooty!! Haha, I'd be the hubby on that one, I have a terribly weak stomach! It seems you have done well in the interim and have hit a sweet spot. Ha, if I had a Zoom group to join for a drink, I'd likely sign up right away! Yay for biscuit turnbacks!
@mrmcgrath I did find the tip from @TeresaW1020 worked really well - I disconnected my Fitbit on the web version as it suggested after I tried to fetch the data and it didn't update. Once I did that, it synced through yesterday. Still didn't add today yet but I'll check tomorrow
@AustinRuadhain and @Katmary71 thanks so much for the breathing reminder for stress!! I have found in the past that this type of thing is a tremendous help and it actually works pretty quickly for me
@Katmary71 thanks for all of these chair vids!!! I still haven't done them but I'm saving them!
@Cornanda thinking of you on your Tiny Habits quest! It's interesting that you have pinpointed the need to dissect larger goals into the smaller and more manageable kind! Way to go on that thought work!!! =>
@TeresaW1020 sometimes chocolate happens, right?!? Looks like you're doing a good jcleob on the habits and exercise so I think some chocolate on one day won't define the week! => By the way - the Goals Mindfulness is now my desktop pic - LOVE IT
@its_cleo I am so in the same boat for the dentist. My appointment for March was cancelled and it will take me months to get in - when I can finally reach them to even schedule something. =< It really might be a year between visits. YAY YOU for resisting an urge on fast food! I call that a win!! And extra points for the habits!! =>
@vegan4lyfe2012 wow, very poignant dream, thanks for sharing!! Steph, dream or real, is so right!! Every day, every meal, every bite is an opportunity to improve and it's NEVER too late. So proud of you for seeing what you need to do - start small and celebrate all the wins!!! Really looking forward to hearing all about those.... =>
@bethanie0825 nice weigh in, I'm hoping mine tomorrow is a loss!!

@AustinRuadhain For some reason that link was blocked so I just went to YouTube and did a search on Sidney Cummings, stretch, and resistance bands, there's a bunch plus ones with mini-resistant bands (just got them a few weeks ago). I've been choosing a stretch routine I've never done every day so I'm set for over a week now, thank you!

Wednesday check-in
Exercise- all of Kym's exercise videos for limited mobility, triceps and biceps, Sidney Cumming full body stretch. Debating on foam rolling.
Water- OK, I knew I shouldn't buy it but I did, I bought Diet Pepsi instead of just getting my 1 bottle when I shop, I've gone through 4 already and was going back for another when I made myself make tea instead, and it's super warm tonight! Diet Pepsi doesn't make me hungry but whenever I have diet I want more so I figured it was dumb to pay for a bunch of chemicals when I could get used to water. Normally I'm great with my ginger/cinnamon water but there's DIET PEPSI in the house! It's like chocolate! Bought pretzels too and had a couple servings but it's all measured and logged, no overeating.

Habits
Cardio 30 minutes- done. Overdone. I dared myself to do all of Kym's videos, they're all short and I didn't realize just how many there were until I was too close to finishing to NOT finish! I'm usually energized after working out but was pretty worn out at the end.
Weights- legs still on hold, third day of upper body
Yoga/stretching and core- done. Heck, even if the chair videos weren't hardcore ab workouts from all the twisting there were some arms and abs ones in there too. Who needs planks and sit ups, though I did those too!
Recipe- Another area I can't make up my mind, I'll be gone tomorrow night but have ground turkey in the fridge. I'm going to stop at a store on Friday and need to decide between about 5 recipes or else the meat will go bad and I don't want to buy ingredients for all of them! It's down skinnytaste recipes for naked Persian burgers, Greek naked burgers, Zuchinni turkey noodle-less lasagna, or cheesy mac but with turkey instead of beef, or a large meatball recipe. Whatever it is most have at least a few servings so it'll be double-servings and/or eating it for half a week. That's my problem, too many choices!
10,000 steps- done. I'm getting a lot of those during chair exercises though.

I can't decide what to do about Habit Tracker, if I knew when my legs would be ready to go again then I could figure out a routine that places less stress on them but obviously I just have to wait it out so that leaves cardio and weights up in the air. My June weight-lifting goals are trashed from no gym but I'm ok with that, just a little unsure for the first time in a long time. Still stretching/doing yoga and core exercises for my mobility. Recipe is hit-or-miss at this point, it's fun to try new things but not always affordable. I joined Tiny Habits 5 day but only came up with one thing. Have an idea on the second, I'll give it more thought tomorrow. Nothing major and not in a slump, just real indecisive right now.

My uncle's definitely going to require surgery, he needs a valve replacement due to the infection. They're trying to figure out what type of valve and making sure the infection is cleared up so it doesn't affect the new valve.

Hi Team! Quick check in before I head off to make dinner. Tonight it's tuna salad sandwiches and my mom's macaroni salad that is leftover from yesterday. Yum!! I went to staff meeting today and now we are hoping to open the church at the end of June. We are just really hoping that the shelter in place for seniors lifts on June 12th that it's supposed to. Yesterday, my hubby (who is a senior) wanted to go out so we went to Home Depot. Who knew that Home Depot could be turned into such a fun outing.

Tiny Habits suffered today since I took today off from working out and am still 3000 steps away from getting my daily 6000. I also didn't fast today. But I did track all my food. So at least I can count one thing!

Thursday check in

Well, I've had a pretty good day! Getting a lot done on Linked In for the job search and that is starting to feel a little more solid under my feet. Food life and weight loss journey also feels good - sleep and water, on target. Exercise and steps, all good. Food planning and choices, no night eating - excellent. Also.....bi-product of not working is that I'm doing a lot of cooking and it's been fun. Hubby said he anticipates looking back on this time and being nostalgic for the great meals I'm cooking. =>

@AustinRuadhain haha, it's funny how the conversations here can get so involved! You're an inspiration for the 'home gym' we all find ourselves in!
@TeresaW1020 Home Depot can totally be a date night!
@gwamajtw91 unless you've been super packing in the cals, this is probably also partly water weight. Now - I get it - weight is weight. But when it's the sloshy kind, it is a bit easier and faster t get it off. We believe in you, you'll get it back off!!

Tbh, I believe Rome wasn't built in a day and every little drop adds up to make a big difference. I have been able to keep to my walk, only a day I had about 13k other days been 16 to 19k my highest steps. Green smoothie-X will start in the new week. A gradual drop in my food portion and already on salad and veggies just need upting it more.
