@micki48 so YOU have the sunshine! I wondered where it went. It's been pretty sparse in this part of the country this month. It seems we've had maybe 4 hours since the beginning of the year. Sheesh. Thank goodness for my "light box". It's kept my electricity costs up a tad but that's better than the stay-in-bed-all-the-damned-day option.
It's been weird around here. I'm not inspired or motivated to do much of anything. I feel as though I'm busy doing things all day and feel tired, as though I've gotten a lot done but, don't have much to show for it. I guess I topped off on national anxiety and got stuck in the rut of fear.
So, my goal for the coming week is to focus on meditating every day and getting at least 8 K steps in. If I get up earlier in the morning, I can certainly get meditation in before Monica gets up - close to 3 hours after I get up. It's always been a challenge to get my interests tended to when anyone else is home. You'd think I'd be better at it since the girls are 38 and 35 years old and my spouse is certainly able to figure out their own activities without my watchful anticipation!
@jugar it sounds like an interesting plan to bike in the evening. I'll have to try out my mini-pedalling machine (more like an elliptical than bike or stepper) sooner than Monica gets to it. Maybe I'll try to ride *her* bike (in the basement - regular bike up on a support and likely a bit too tall for me but...worth a shot).
It's been good reading everyone's threads during the past week. I admit that sometimes, I get discouraged because I compare my experiences to your success. Since "comparisons are odious" (an apt quote from a friend in Thailand), I know it's something to stop doing. Time for more "tiny habits"!
Onwards and downwards - well, weight wise, at least!
Enjoy the process everyone.
I'll try to do the same.

I fell behind on reading but am caught up now. We have our power back on which is really nice. The crazy work week is behind me and I'm off until Tuesday. I have not been as focused the last few days. Today was an improvement. I got 2 walks in for over an hour. I should have done weights but I just wasn't in the mood. Stayed in calories but my choices could have been better. Tomorrow I am hoping to fine tune my food choices and get some ballet in.

@Gidgitgoescrazy Training people is a lot of work! Hopefully she catches on quick and you won't have babysit to much.

@steph1498 and @sunny9847 Great job this week!

@jugar I workout in the evenings often usually around 7:30 for an hour but sometimes it is even later. It's just when it works for me. I sleep fine but I can also drink a few cups of coffee at 7 pm and sleep like a baby too. I use to workout in the morning but once my workouts were consistently longer than 30 minutes it just didn't work.

I feel really good about my week. I am loving my workouts. They are challenging, leaving me a little sore, but they also feel quick. My eating was on point this week. I was under my calories and almost hit my macros. I was off by 2%. I am off tomorrow, then I return to in person learning Tues and Thurs for the first time since before Thanksgiving.

@jugar thanks really needed to hear that
