Brr. Still waiting for sun and warmth. Walked this morning at oh dark thirty (well, 7:00). Food planned for day and feet under covers. Stopped by my scale and it was in a good mood.

I generally am home anyway, home schooling son. We operate out of the upstairs and kitchen is downstairs. I make a list of what I will be eating for the day and then go by that -- not written in blood but a guide. I also 'fast' from 6 pm through 10 am. That has been my big victory or defense. I drink herbal tea when I go…

I am with BarbieCat. Generally stay home most of time and 'school' my son. The Y here is closed so no swimming as exercise. Needed a stamp and walked to the post office and back - that was a scant 20 minutes and I need more exercise. So cold and a bit breezy that I will add 20 minutes to tomorrow's stuff. Made chili and…

A peaceful Sunday -- no services but I am thinking the hymn -- all is well with my soul. Our Family History Center is closed until further notice. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on…

Practically noon greetings! Scale says 165 -- my goal for March. Did nothing much so far but Y pool opens at 1. Watching tv about the C19V. A fire-pit sounds nice right now, it is about 55 here but not going higher. Looks like calories are going to be high but not too high today, should get my 30 and more at pool. Our rain…

Saturday at last. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8 however had not drank, eaten, and now I am stuffed. March 5 scale is…

Just a slight wave to you -- social distance you know. Went to YMCA pool but that's about it. Seems quiet but maybe just my expectations. Scale seems to be holding and inching lower. Woohoo.

Howdy, is it Saturday yet? Hanging in there until March 25. I have decided to wash and donate my favorite pants. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4…

Stomping through today, the 13th. Selling lots appears to be falling through. But, well, weight on my scale was down and the rain was brief. Son ate my turkey salad. I can make more. Already bought TP but am out of bananas and milk. Coronavirus has affected us-church closed, concert cancelled, not too many people about.

Howdy, is it Saturday yet? Wearing favorite pull-on pants. Wow they have huge legs. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8…

Checking in neighbors! No exercise yet today but I am going to YMCA pool class this evening. And I made turkey salad today (and froze leftover turkey). Kid took a look at it and turned his nose up. Oh, well, more for me! Getting some cancellations hither and yon but no gossip about the big C in my town. All is well.

Hey, all! I think my barrel middle is expanding. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8 however had not drank, eaten, and now…

Here's what Senator Mark Warner sent to his constituents: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html

I am thinking about this daily. I have about 8 rolls of toilet paper--guess I need that. The map shown a few times above does not match the one my senator sent out today. IT REALLY DOES NOT. Senator Warner stated there are 9 confirmed cases in Virginia and I know 2 in Virginia Beach were cruise people. I understood his…

Hey, all! Officially down 1 pound since last week. 50 pounds around middle to go. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8…

Lost a pound since last Tuesday. Lovely day, sunny, warmish, windy! Plumbing works now-done 2 loads of dishes and 3 of laundry. Flushed both bathrooms more than once each. Highlights of life. Missing my loved ones which I do in March. Sister died Feb 1, husband 4 years, mother and grandfather on March 16 and good ole BIL…

Hey, all! 48 pounds around middle to go. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop! March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8 however had not drank, eaten, and now I am…

It is good/calming/uplifting to read your thoughts here. Sorry about TP woes -- in Virginia, USA people make 'ha-ha' comments about rationing water, sanitizer, and toilet paper due to coronavirus. If I could find the one specific button that enlarges text on our computers, I would but then kid would hide it. Looking for…

Hey, all! Read that some have sunshine, technically so does Tidewater Virginia but we also have cold temp and cutting wind. I might be trying to drop about 49 pounds today -- well, as a goal, not all in this 1 day although I am open to , , , I am being remorseful for yesterday's binge eating. March 1 169.8-171 today.…

Hey all. Too cold today for me ( cold + wind). Making up for yesterday's mass consumption. Afraid to weigh but tomorrow I will. Off to the Y pool soon and then I will be tucking under flannel sheets. Had a list for today but not sure if I can do the outdoor stuff - don't want to chance a cold. I bought apples, did our turn…

Well, hmm, if I had stayed in the kitchen, the day would have actually been better! But I am sad to say I absolutely know what you mean. We will both need to pick our selves up, watch the calories and the things we are eating, and exercise or deliberately burn calories. I am not a treadmill sort (old, legs hurt) but I will…

Thanks, had a bad day and this will help me rise again tomorrow.

I liked The Japanese restaurant if that's viable for you. You know, the chef throws knives and is sort of fun, not like the princess but still a show.

I began with goal of 80 pounds to lose, now have 50 more to go. This was my first day of 'negative' since Jan 17. I will return to sanity tomorrow. March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised. March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard. March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8…

How marvelous to teach line dancing! And I wish I had mulch ... really. I am spending my mornings 7-9ish digging 'stuff' from some vacant lots I sold a couple of weeks ago. I have 30 days to remove what I want. Today I moved a forsythia and mostly daffodil or similar bulbs. It rained and I thought I would freeze. Then 1…

I go to the YMCA pool. I can go slow or hard, take classes or just be on my own, and the only complaint is they should turn the pool warmer sometimes! I don't have to be afraid of falling, the pool is only 5 feet deep, and I do not get as tired or hurt as the regular floor classes. Don't know if this is an option for you…

I was told 125 and I am a short 5'7 meaning with age, I am really about 5'6 now. I don't remember being 125 so who knows. Will see when I drop. My smallest clothes are 14s or 34 waist so that might be a hint.

Welcome back. The Y's pool is my exercise as my legs are not the best.

I am trying IF and so far, I think it is great for me. I fast from 6 pm thru 10 am. Solves late night boredom so snack habit I used. And I don't get out of bed and instantly start thinking food.
