I thought I was doing fine with me eating today 😕
I went out for a walk and forgot that I'd arranged to meet a student online 🤦♀️ I guess I switched my head off for the holiday Monday (her Easter is later - orthodox). As I was heading home, I met my neighbour who was out walking her dog. I don't understand everything she says (my Czech is bad and she's Slovakian) but I did find out that her birthday is in May. I knew she was turning 100 this summer but wasn't sure when. She's amazing and always says, "We must walk" (I know that much in Czech). What an inspiration.

@jugar What is stopping you from taking pictures?
My recent ones were all done with a crappy phone, so it doesn't take much effort. I rather bring my camera, but the weather hasn't been very nice lately.
I'm just kind of oblivious and don't think about taking them. I do have some, though - and make an effort from time to time!1 -

April 4 - Day 33/75
❌ Food - Yikes. Went way overboard today. SOMEONE left some cookies here, and I already had some nuts and things. Somehow having a blizzard going on made eating too many things tempting. At least I burned off calories snowshoeing!
✅ No alcohol no problem
✅ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. Strength workout and snowshoeing. That was the best!
✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. lots of interesting reading today, about everything from anatomy to embodied writing and medieval music.
✅ Water - OK - tried having water first thing on an empty stomach again, and it was horrible. Cramps and pain! I'm not sure that idea is for me.
✅ Thoughts - Planning, writing, and morning routine are helpful so far. I get a lot more done in the morning, and don't fritter away time. Another version tomorrow!
I remembered to take some pictures while out snowshoeing today! There were drama trees. Faces in the snow. And hardly any tracks aside from my own - the animals were staying in!

Thank you for sharing those beautiful snow photos @jugar!! I grew up in Rochester, NY and absolutely loved our snowy blizzards that we used to have with amazing snow drifts. That Lake Ontario snow effect was very impressive. 60+ years later there’s way less snow up there than there used to be when I was young.April 4 - Day 33/75
