Again over on calories but I am logging so that is a win for me. Getting back on the road to losing is hard.
No worries on exercise, today nine other women from my workout group and I went to a treetop rope agility course. So much fun, I had done it a few weeks ago so I hung back and stuck with the women who were a little more challenged. My experience was focused on getting the crew through obstacles that pushed them beyond what they thought they were capable of. It felt good to do it together. It wasn’t a race, it was an experience.4 -
Yes to all three. Definitely working on the patience...3

Calories under YES -69✔️

💚 In maintenance range
Made art & recovered my positivity after grieving parks & nature areas that have suffered extensive damage. They will regrow. Very little loss of life. Firefighter are mobilizing better each day.
I work actively to practice gratitude & keep positive/ less stressed. Food used to be my solution- now I know in my bones it is not - for me.
Have a lovely day/evening!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Lots and lots of walking plus brush-clearing from among the "mini-forest" at the end of our back yard. Three of those big paper leaf&garden trimming bags FULL
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Way under (only started to get appetite back towards the end of the day after 3 days of high-stress / no appetite)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
WAAAAAY back I had booked every Friday off from July 3 to Sept 4 (totally unaware at the time of booking that it would turn out to be a July-August coping with work-overload strategy)
I was able "disengage" from adrenaline-poisoning levels and begin to process and label stressors and how they could be addressed (whose control each of the multiple factors potentially rests with .... mostly not me OR even directly within my BisOps unit )
By this morning (Saturday) I have come up with a strategy on how to address what IS within either my direct control or my manager's sphere of control to either provide (office suppy order) or facilitate .... and how to present what is 100% outside BisOps ability to directly influence - and higher branch levels MUST address for enterprise-level reporting accountability that they are responsible for meeting.
Sunday sees the start of "survival strategy implementation".3 -
2nd pass day. Over on calories. 🤦♀️ snacking has become a problem for me. Walked outside for about an hour.
Trying to keep it simple and focus on two numbers for the next week...100 oz water and 10k steps. Got a jogging stroller as a hand me down. Hoping that’ll help the step count ...🤞3 -

Things have been very busy and stressful this week as we are in the midst of training for the school year. I have been staying up late and working too much. Today my brain hit its limit so I stopped work for the night at 6, did my exercises, and went on an 85 minute walk with my husband. I needed the time to do something physical and decompress.2 -
@MadisonMolly2017 We do need to take some time to grieve our losses.
And we do need to take time to celebrate our wins and the wins of those we love.
You do very well in both of those areas.
I'm not an artist like you, but I can appreciate why you do what you do.

@RangerRickL
Thank you so much, Rick. You seem to have a sixth sense for when I need your wisdom/encouragement. I truly appreciate your friendship & support - thoughtful, sage comments.
It is tough to be facing COVID & lightning-triggered Massive fires simultaneously- both are natural disasters that humans must navigate. Both have massive amounts of uncertainty For the future.
As I did a little creative explorations/play today, I kept thinking...the kidney meds & COVID can take away my ability to travel Worry-free & my beloved teaching career/passion... and the lightning fires can now burn my beloved parks, trails, former neighborhood & environs that were my replacement for travel elsewhere, but they can’t take away the experience & pleasure I derive while imagining, learning, expressing, making ... along with the surprising and thrilling insights one is given regularly as one creates. I love those feelings. I love learning.
I’m very grateful that I do.
You’re a wonderful person, Rick.
Thank you so much!
