I had a bit of a win yesterday. Family came for the evening meal (no occasion, just they were all free at the same time). It was hard waiting as we ate almost 2 hours later than I would normally. The win was I didn't make a dessert! I knew I wouldn't want to abstain, and that there would be leftovers, so I didn't make any. Only a partial win though, as I provided little cakes when they asked, and I had a small one, which was why I went into the red. I will keep being aware and making good choices.

Hey everyone! Think I'm through the worst of the symptoms now. Last couple of days I've felt okay and got my appetite and taste is coming back.
I went to the shops today. But masked up. Isolation is only voluntary now and if you do isolate you only need to for 5 days.
Seems a bit short to me but everyone's basically "living with COVID" now. Either way I didn't want to pass on any infection so got my mask on and sanitized.
Only popped in for about a 10ers worth of stuff anyway.
Got home. Had some lunch and after that was desperate for a nap. So I had one.
That's the only thing I'm struggling with now, any sort of activity wipes me out but it's getting better each day.
Kids are allowed back in school tomorrow x4 -

I'm gonna cry... Just spread too thin right now.
Skipped out of work for a little over an hour yesterday to go prom dress shopping with V and her date. It was fun and she found a lovely red dress to wear. Boy fancy dresses are pricey. She found one online that was only $100, but she wasn't sure about it and I wasn't sure we'd get it in time so we shopped locally. I think these dress shops should include alterations in the price of the dresses. A flat rate, because after dropping $600 on the dress its now going to be another $100-$150 for the alterations. Seems excessive, but there is only one shop in town so they have a corner on the market and can pretty much do what they want.
After shopping I had to come back into work and I didn't actually leave until 8:30pm. Made for a long day, but glad I took the time to go shop with V & Landon.
Less stressed today, but still dragging. Doesn't help that I forgot to take my morning meds today. We have global quality folks coming next week that we need to prepare for, and I have a document I just sent to my boss to review before I send it on to legal. There are a million other things on my list today, but I'm just doing them as they come. Basically putting out fires. I need a nap...
Funny thing is I really like this new part of my job, and I think it will be great once I don't also have my old job which was already 1.5 jobs. Pulling more than double duty is what is getting me right now. Still I'm blessed that I like the work, I just wish there was a little less of it right now.

Happy Wednesday y'all!
Yesterday was a whirlwind of crazy at work, but things settled when I got home and I was able to nap. The nap was wonderful as always, but I have been totally slacking on exercise this week. Late nights at the office or late night calls were to blame the first half of the week, but yesterday was all on me. I was just soooooo tired. Even after my nap, I went to bed at a little before 9:00 and slept through the night. Had a 7:00am call this morning that I took from home then I got ready and came to work. Just couldn't drag my bum out of bed at 5:30 to get ready and make it to work by 6:45 to catch the meeting there. Oh well, I made the meeting and since my camera was off no one knew any different.
Today, I need to focus on some other issues at work that I've been neglecting due to the one large issue. Hopefully I can wrap up some of it. Then I need to go to mom's and then teach spin. At some point I need to do mom's taxes. I'm running out of time, and they are a little more complicated than I anticipated.
Any-who...

This morning, I got up early enough so did one complete set of PT exercises before I went to my PT appt. Jessica is happy with my form. My knees have improved, I don't have pain during PT or routine activities, and one exercise now "looks too easy" for me, she says. Jessica thinks we've addressed the basics, but sees that my balance and my hips would benefit from different exercises, that would help with my overall goals for again walking in race events & hiking. So she's throwing more challenges into the mix. Bring it on!

Tomorrow we'll be off to celebrate our granddaughter's third birthday this weekend My daughter-in-law is a fantastic baker, so of course there will be a fabulous cake, along with lots of other goodies. I probably won't log, but I'll try to stick to reasonable portions and healthy options when I can.

JFT Thursday 7th April
Log everything yes
Stay in the green yes, by 1 cal
Foot exercises yes
Back exercises no
Be mindful, eat healthily yes
Grocery shopping yes, ignored the chocolate aisles
Meet with solicitor yes
Read accounts before AGM tonight yes
The zoom AGM was not pleasant, a bit of aggression which I really don't like. As soon as it was over I made a large mug of tea and had one 30 calorie cracker. This is an improvement, in the past I would have eaten a lot more than that!
@mytime6630's April challenge has really helped me this week. No more snacking without thinking, and trying to make healthy choices. Yesterday I made a spinach omelette, first time I've ever eaten spinach! I'm accepting I can't eat everything I want if I want to lose weight.
Today might be a little harder, as once a week I take something out of my son's freezer and cook it for us to use it up. Today's is higher calorie as it's pie. Will really need to plan the whole day's calories.

@littleblackskirt I too am finding the 5# challenge keeping me more on track. Not perfect, but better.
YAY @beachwalker99 for dropping into a lower decade! That's my mini-goal, I keep flirting with it.
Recap R 4/7
1) 1 complete set PT exercises before shower / PT appt 8:30
2) Wish mom & dad happy anniversary ~ it's their 66th! had to be short call as others were also calling
3) Move hourly / try more stairs for knees yay 9.4K 19 floors 14/14 boom! including statewide tornado drill & entire building occupants trooped down to basement = 3 extra floors
4) Rotisserie chicken for supper / net calories < 200 red / 96 oz. water = yay green 22
sodium green yay, fiber & protein excellent, calcium nearly spot on, 96 oz. water
5) JJ in office ~ will she return BC-CC folder (reviewed) to me? nope / GA-S audit testing ~ happy I'm figuring out process with new MICS / print Chat from W webinar & review no time / print/download CPE cert & submit with webinar summary form / set up PRO, HW s/s for next week (shortened by PTO) / emails current = 4.5/6
6) Breadsmith / grocery shop / Sam's Club / call mom & dad / clean kitty hallway / fold load of whites / take laundry upstairs & put away ~ most, not all / declutter 15 min? / wash (some) dishes? haha guilt trip worked, hubby loaded dishwasher & washed the rest 
/ anything else haha = 6.5/10
7) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 5/6
JFT F 4/8
1) PT exercises, including one new with resistance & think I've figured out how to incorporate other new exercise (need something several inches high to step on), done before work despite myself
2) Move hourly / a few stairs breaks
3) Make easy baked ziti for supper / net calories < 100 red / 96 oz. water
4) JJ in office 2 days in a row ~ will she return BC-CC folder (reviewed) to me? / GA-S testing / update Project Status s/s (does anyone in mgmt ever read this?) / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO & HW s/s's (ditto re mgmt) / contact S re workplace hikes / emails current
5) Wash towels / clean kitty hallway / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. (errands, household chores, maybe try easy hike with hubby & dog)
Up in time for PT exercises before work, just didn't want to. I did the a.m. pet duties as usual, then put away some clean dishes & ate my overnight oats. By then I was ready for PT, and made myself do one complete set. Not so bad, and something done already today!

1. log all food Got into the cheese last nite ... then that led to eating another protein bar. I was not even hungry!
2. go for walk or gym Already went to gym, but so tired, not the best workout. Hoping for a walk later this afternoon if the wind dies down and it gets a little warmer Daughter came out, and it was so cold and windy... so no walk. But at least I did have a small workout at the gym.
3. look for paint to repaint mailbox Don't have any. . so on our list to buy.
4. work on quilt Starting to put the blocks together .. it is going to be so pretty!
5. help hubby .. ha.. someday we really will retire I hope!
6. april challenge .. plan meals. Not sure what to make tonite.. might be BLTs sandwiches since I have bacon on hand and tomatoes.

Ended up making BLTs for lunch, so also made Tuna and Noodles . So ate a little heavier than I normally do.. which led to mindless eating at nite again. But .. I've had 4 good days prior, so I have to be OK with this and not beat myself up.
JFT, FRIDAY

2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym.. Already done. But try and get another walk in
