The power of NO is amazing. In this case, the power of being told you can’t do something. I had no other plans for this week than to go for walks, the gym, grocery store and maybe some sale shopping. I’m in a 10-day quarantine, so no meeting other people. Shopping I can do online, grocery store I hate and moved it online, and walks I can still do.

The gym closed anyway as a lockdown measure, so couldn’t have done that even if I wasn’t in quarantine. So, essentially I had no plans of meeting anyone anyway but now that I’m told NO, I really want to go out and socialize. I usually hate home workouts and prefer to pay for a gym membership (that I haven’t used), but now that I’m told NO you can’t go to the gym, I want to find some at-home workouts out of spite. Just to show them there’s no stopping me or something. Of course I’m still a little bit sick so I need to take it easy, but still. This is weird.

I'm so sorry I forgot last week. I seriously haven't been counting cals or weighing in cuz I knew Christmas contains lots of goodies. I would like to carry over the same weight for last week and this week. Thanks!

Weigh In Wednesday:

PW: 232.0
CW: 232.0

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am gonna start again in the new year!!!

Hi @KittyInBoots17 I spoke with the MODS and she marked last week and this week as excused due to the hectic holiday schedule. I think we'll all be putting away the treats and getting strictly back on track next week. I know I need to avoid the Christmas cookies like the plague, myself.

Apologies if you read my other response...

Hello team. I hope everyone is doing well. I know I haven't been as active as usual here and I am sorry for that. I am doing fine; I have just been distracted/busy with other things and I haven't taken the time to check in as much. Still not completely back to normal with my food. I am having a hard time behaving, but I know that I will easily fall back into the groove once I have managed for a few days. I have also banned myself from the grocery store for at least a week! So time to go back to eating healthy stuff.

I decided to already get some new plants. They arrived yesterday and they are ready and settled in their pots. I was 3 euros short of being able to get free shipping. After some looking around, I also saw they sold cuttings from other plants. They were all so tiny and adorable looking. My moms birthday is next week, and she will come over to sleep again soon. So I decided to get her a Hoya Kerrii as a small extra present. It is a climbing plant with heart shaped leafs which is often sold as just 1 single heart leaf. It is so stinking cute!

I am happy to share pictures of course! But the weather is quite dreadful lately; a lot of wind and rain and just drab and grey. So not sure when my new batch will be here.

I do have some updated pictures of my plant set up to share under the spoiler. Happy Thursday everyone

Day 6 of quarantine: feeling symptom free, but exhausted for other reasons. We took on a little quarantine project of finally trying to teach our daughter to fall asleep in her own crib and to set her sleep schedule for something more sensible. Until now one of us has stayed up in the living room with her until she falls asleep, usually around 3AM, and then she sleeps all day. Last night it apparently took until 4AM to finally get her settled down (I went to bed around 2AM and now it’s my turn to take care of night/mornin feedings while he sleeps). Hoping tonight goes better and she calms down before midnight so husband and I can ring in the new year watching fireworks from our balcony without a fussy baby. We live in the 4th floor and there would be great views of the surrounding parks where people usually do their fireworks, but last year it was so foggy you couldn’t even see the street below. Hoping for a better weather today.
