```````but *definitely* at least 30 min aerobics, 15 min strength x5 days/week; trying to go outside, even in the cold, at least 3 x per week;

FUEL: ~1300 cal/day +/-... generally: clean protein, maybe even twice a day & veg to support working out, filled out with whole grain carbs and fruit

Ideas to try: more soups-daily, more protein for breakfast, along with oatmeal; lower-fat cheeses; cottage cheese or yogurt daily; limit eggs to 10/week; maybe get some protein powder?; make several dressings on T-days; feature baked potato, cottage cheese, yogurt, of course legumes: more lentils, especially, and chickpeas; 'bean of the day'?, plan for holiday alcohol so calories those days don't top 1600?

Other commitments: all my blogs, daily, including JOBS, pc, viz, grnTh, reCrft, spark & spirit; rx tth z, more music, w3sch, art/moon

Food EMERGENCIES: Winter spice teas, meringues, a piece of fruit, a slice of bread, popcorn, 13 min of exercise

    Great plan, and as I've heard in OA, If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I need to keep remembering that. You're doing great!

    I love the "ideas to try sections" of your goals. There is a lot of thought and planning and creativity. There is also room to breathe and experiment a bit. Flexibility like that rocks!

    Go go girl!

    Great plan! Just take it one day at a time and you CAN make finishing your forte. emoticon emoticon emoticon

Day 4: 100 Day Blogging Challenge; Long Cardio Day in the end

Image
  When I've done well in the past, I had to work up to 2 hours or more of working out daily, at least some of the time, consistently. So far the longest in 2020 that I've worked out was 75 min, which was what was happening today: 3 Small victories: -15+15+25 min indoor cycling (at 4:00, 6:00, & 9:00 pm) -20 min cleaning -Then I decided to watch the Biggest Loser, on demand, & can't watch other people working out to lose weight without getting up, so I just did some marching in place, for 45 min. =around 200 calories, equal to 1 candy bar I've eaten in the past, now burned off. 3 Blessings: -being a woman in the 21st century and the much greater freedom I have than my foremothers, even my own mother, had -the internet, for connection -that I have the capacity and resources to make this commitment to myself work 3 Goals for Thurs -same as Wed (didn't get 'em done) Member Comments About This Blog Post v LIFECHANGZ  gr8! did you see a new Biggest loser start...

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering. I go in and shop, sometimes taking advantage of senior hours, sometimes doesn't work out w/schedules. Also, 4 times so far, my sister, who's an essential IT nursing home worker, and out and about for herself anyway would get us stuff, but she's very into meat and not great at veg. {Okay...here's the bi*ching & whining}: I have no one else to tell, except my one sister (not the IT one, the ww one) and have already said after this is over I am leaving or not doing it anymore: I'm very picky*/specific about veg as is mom about random stuff, and she's 80; I currently live with her (and dad, 85), and still get shouted at because nothing's ever perfect—but the whole fam knows that an...

My thoughts on school openings; BlogDay37/100(-26)

Image
  This started as a response to a spark friend's similarly titled post, but I decided to post it here: News in the past fortnight: masks *DO* protect the wearer...Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN on a recent early AM had a graph with how much protection they offer: bandanas = some, cone paper = more, stitched cloth double layer = most. Here's an article I found about this doing a quick search: https://www.msn.com/en-us/heal th/me dical/how-much-protection-do es- your-mask-give-you-others/ar -BB16purY You could find the exact numbers if you care to do further research. If they didn't offer protection, hospitals wouldn't have been/be screaming for more PPE. Other countries are doing better, because they had sane policies that followed the science, sooner or later. It's political because it's been SO bungled here, and thus politicized further. Following science is all that'll get US out of this mess; I support schools being open, along the same lines as states should be...
