Yesterday I discovered fun indoor exercise with Paul Eugene. This morning even more fun with him for Dance Dance Fitness (avoiding windy cold Florida outdoors today). Steps are lagging but I'll catch up to make goal this week!

Monday, February 1st
logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: only 10 minutes of a not very tough abs workout, so no
I knew early on in the afternoon that is wasn't going to be a walk day. After my shower I was clean and dry and warm, and I wasn't about to trade that in for a cold, sweaty, damp (because of all the layers) walk. So I had to plan my dinner carefully to fit it into my calorie goal.

@HASWLRS I don't blame you for not wanting to go out for the walk. I hate my coat because it is so warm that I get all sweaty inside. But it looks like you planned your dinner very carefully and stayed under calories anyway.1 -
@annabananamc I'll have to check it out. I love dance fitness.
I just found out he's on YouTube as well, and has a Facebook page! He does a lot more 'chair fitness' and senior focused stuff these days, but his old videos are a lot of fun for moving fast, too!

We now have a 4 day weekend due to the snow here. Historically I would have made tonight a “snow-day funday” but I am behaving. I’m counting shoveling snow as my activity for the day since I cant get to my gym
@erikNJ great work staying on track today!!! I'm proud of you for still staying on track! I know the feeling of wanting to indulge on a snow day! I used to love having hot chocolate and treats after a long time shoveling in the snow!
We are getting hit here in CT as well. I shoveled twice today, but ended up slipping on some ice right as I finished 😬 regardless, I used shoveling as my exercise, along with my morning walk, and have called it a day. I am not looking forward to shoveling in the morning, as it's still piling up here. My weather app looks like it will still be nasty tomorrow morning, so I am not sure if I will be going into work... I'm annoyed with missing work, but refuse to drive in bad weather.
Be safe, hope you don’t have to go into work. I am the same way with driving in this weather. If you got hit overnight like we did it’s gonna be a LOT of shoveling again. And it’s gonna snow all day again. My back already hurts thinking about shoveling.2 -
@erikNJ and @cmhubbard92 Y'all can send it this way down to Maryland. We got some on Sunday but since then it's just been drizzly.

Awesome! Enjoy it for the rest of us.I woke up to the world lightly covered in snow. So, Not as bad as some TBBT teammates but still cold.1 -
Happy Tuesday! Just had a minute to sit and check our awesome thread! It's been a crazy week with work (thanks to the Game Stop debacle) and the weather (I don't even know how much snow we got... it was over a foot).
I survived and enjoyed skiing even though it didn't start off great. I got in all the gear (which was a nightmare - I used my husband's boots and skis from highschool and the boots were painfully tight and the skies too long). I was already sweating before I got on the "magic carpet." I got to the top of the bunny hill and was frozen with fear. I was about to walk down then I noticed my daughter, also terrified, kept going down and getting right back up. I could let her see me give up. After a few times down, I sort of remembered how to get around and we graduated to a bigger bunny hill. Everyone had fun. Next time I have to conquer my fear of the chair lift. If my younger daughter can get on, I can. She is terrified of heights and dry heaves on an airplane. 😜4 -

Wednesday
LW 150.4lbs
CW 148.0lbs
I've finally got below the weigh that l had reached in 2019 before I went on holiday in June.
The following is a non too brief summary of what occured before I rejoined again. It's so cathartic to write about it.
I had intended to be on holiday for 6 weeks, but my holiday had be curtailed due to the sudden death of my ex-husband who had been suffering from Alzheimer's.
I came back to help arrange the funeral and support my two girls and my son, also to deal with his probate as I was the executor of his will which left his estate to his children.
After the funeral I was hoping to go back and finish my holiday.
I completed the probate forms and posted them on a Friday, I felt I needed to get them completed asap.
The next day I got a phone call from my son to say he was in casualty with broken ribs after a motorbike accident. I spent the next week at the hospital every day before and after his operation to fix his ribs and when he was allowed home I went with him to look after him.
The following week, it was now September, I woke up to find my beautiful boy had passed away during the night. A post mortem showed he had died from a heart attack. It was not his first one, and I was told it could have happened at any time. I take comfort from knowing I'd spent the last 3 weeks with him, but great sorrow that the journey that we'd taken for 48 years together had come to an abrupt end.
My weight increased. I cried at the building society and at the pharmacy. I was now dealing with probate for my son as well. There were two houses to deal with and be sold. There's something odd about looking at someone's life through their possessions.
In the February I found I was suffering from binocular double vision later diagnosed as Ocular Myasthenia Gravis, but due to lockdown it was months before a proper diagnosis and seeing a neurologist. I'm on medication but it's only now beginning to work.
I decided I had to lose weight, and shortly after starting I had a blood test showed I was pre diabetic, which I am no longer. Three cheers for MFP.
My eldest granddaughters, one from each of my daughters, gave birth. A baby boy in May and a baby girl in June. It's sad that I've not seen much of them due to lockdown, but I see videos on WhatsApp and we chat on there too.
There's a photo of me with my son at his wedding. I was overweight and I look it even though I had planned to lose weight beforehand. It's a large family group, but he's next to me and he's holding my hand and before he drove off to his honeymoon he handed me his corsage which was a red rose. The marriage sadly didn't last, but his ex-wife took his two cats and they are now happily living with her. It's what he would have wanted. I'm sure they miss him too.

I’m really disappointed in myself but I only have myself to blame for it. I haven’t really been trying the past couple weeks and I knew I’d get a gain at some point out of it. I really need to hold myself completely accountable or nothing is ever gonna change. I’m determined to turn February around!5 -
@JMTiv1979, I am so glad you survived skiing and actually enjoyed the day. You conquered some fears, and are making plans to conquer new ones. Well done! And most importantly, you are making memories with your children!2

Today was an outdoor walk in the woods. Still pretty cold for FL but sun was shining and wind died down!

@prehistoricmoongoddess, congratulations on reaching a weight milestone!! Thank you for sharing about your journey and the detours that your life took.... most of us can only imagine. And absolutely writing it all down would be a very cathartic exercise. My sincerest condolences on the sudden loss of your son and your children's father. What great news, though, that your medication is beginning to work, and your pre-diabetes is gone! I have said before that you are a poster child of how to use MFP; well now you are one of the poster children for why, too! Congratulations on your new great-grandchildren, and thank goodness for What's App!! (That's how I, too, get to see and communicate with my son in Prague!)4

exercise: yes, a 43 minute walk with the sun shining
I had so many extra calories to work with yesterday evening that I felt like a kid in a candy shop! I had a hot chocolate because I could, and because it is winter and cold. I told my husband that I have to plan for them carefully as they are 200 calories a mug. He had no idea that a hot chocolate was that much. I guess, like most people, he doesn't really consider the calories in drinks, because it definitely does not feel like eating calories does.4 -

@JMTiv1979 No better motivation than wanting to set an example for our children and not wanting them to see us afraid. It sounds like you did great. I'm glad everyone had fun.1 -
