Have a great Tuesday, y'all!
Yesterday was good. I left work early, voted and then went to pre-ride the course I was going to lead the new riders on. Actually, voting took a little longer than expected so I had to drive the route instead of riding it, but still it was ok. The group of new riders weren't really new riders. Most have ridden for a while, but not necessarily in this area or on the roads. It was a rather mellow ride though it was taxing for me being that I'm out of shape. Still it was nice meeting new people. We went out for dinner and drinks after. It was a very nice group.
Really, really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I'm still struggling with energy levels and desire to do things, even fun things let along the required things. It is supposed to be a nice day today. I may try to ride after work. I really need to, but like I said motivation is really low. It's like I know what I should be doing, I just don't care enough to do it. Once I do it I feel better and I try to remind myself of that, but still I struggle.
Not much on the docket today other than work and a possible ride.

9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement2 -
Good morning! Our windows are open and I can hear the birds chirping like crazy today. It is music to my ears after a long winter of being mostly indoors. The lady across the street has a beautiful yard with magnolia trees blooming (pink and white), daffodils, tulips, crabapple trees...so green and lush. It's definitely spring in Wisconsin finally! I've noticed a huge difference in my mood...much more positive and more myself. I definitely get a touch of the seasonal depression and it feels wonderful to feel it lifting. We've been outside weeding the flower beds and getting them ready to plant. I've been watching YouTube video on container gardening. I would like to do some canning this year. I've canned tomatoes in the past and hated every minute of it, so we'll see how far I get with that! LOL 
Have a wonderful day everyone! I'm cheering you on!

I've found having vitamin D through winter helps a bit with them winter blues!2 -
Okay so I haven't posted goals today but I have logged! I even had room for the second half of my chocolate eclair and have 33 calories left. But I need to add my step count for the day which is looking around 200 calories burnt.
My friend got really sick last week. A bout of norovirus/gastroenteritis. She ended up going hospital and was put on a drip to rehydrate her and some tests done. She's all well now. It only lasted 3 days but not being able to keep liquid down for that amount of days is dangerous so that's why she went to the hospital. But anyway, since that she's turned her eating habits around and is getting lots of water in and she's doing really well with it and she looks and feels better for it. Which has kind of encouraged me to do the same!
Getting close to summer and want to lose the 20lbs I put on. I know I won't do it that quick but atleast can get the scale going in the right direction
I've been hovering around the 170 mark for ages.
I've also been doing my mini exercises around the house. (Wall press ups, walking lunges, arm exercises))) 5 -
Ok the only things left are meditate and work on something from my other list. I can do this!

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until after 5pm. Can still have my dose of metamucil1

Stayed up until 3 a.m. grading papers last night. I'm feeling wiped out today, so I'm not really up for goals. Kicked off my summer classes today (a week ahead of schedule) so my early college high school kids can finish the 6-week research course by the time their regular high school classes end. The class went well, but all I want is a nap. I'll try to get some exercise in this evening, but I might wind up burning another rest day.
Recap - Tuesday 5/10 Keeping it simple this week
Log - Logged all day and then had some extra snacks to power through the hours after midnight.
Balanced meals - Meals were goo, but should have skipped the snacks.
Hydrate -
Exercise - 54 min walk in the park

Well I was hungry and had enough calories left for some candy, but instead I had a yogurt and some cantaloupe. Yay! I beat the sugar trap! I know I would have eaten way more candy than I should have.
So the only thing left is do something from my other list, and the most urgent thing is to edit a story that a friend sent to me. For some reason, I have put this off for a couple weeks. But it gets done tonight!

JFT, THurs, May 12
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. work on quilt
4. clean house
5. laundry .. can't do until we get our new washer .. ours broke!
6. find prediabetic recipes and plan
Hubby and I had our bloodtests .. both of us came back as prediabtic! My numbers were 5.9, his were 5.7. I do not want to get diabetes.. so this is now my reason to eat healthy. (If you are over 6.0 you have diabetes ..so I am close!) Forget about looking good ... I just want to be as healthy as I can, and with both of us this way ... I'll have to learn a new way of cooking.
Actually ... from my reading, its just eating the way I ate when I lost 30 pounds. So this should get me back on track if nothing else does.
So tonite I made some brown rice .. I had 1 meatball, he had 3, made some kidney beans and peas.
Anyone know of good websites for super good recipes? I found the mayo clinic, and another one.. but have to search some more tonite on what we can and can't eat.
It is amazing when I look at my past results from blood tests .. the 3 years after I lost weight, and kept the weight off, my numbers were all so much lower. I know being a healthy weight will make all the difference.2 -
