Hello, again!

 emoticon I've been on and off in the past year emoticon . Am back for at least autumn emoticon , maybe winter emoticon .


My sister visited, and she, who has lost 70+ pounds emoticon was looking good emoticon , and shopping her own closet from a decade ago, made me want to follow thru on my plans, bette emoticon r. She is a 'weight watcher' and other than writing down what she eats emoticon and going to a meeting once a week for a weigh-in emoticon , plus she walks her big dog emoticon at least daily emoticon , doesn't do as much as I do in terms of online engagement emoticon when I'm active on this site emoticon . I ran around, clicking and linking and liking and getting points, but she lost more and stayed on track. Her results were real emoticon , not virtual. emoticon

So I may keep it simpler then I have in the past, focusing more on results emoticon , less on process.

Blessings of success during this waning moon! emoticon emoticon emoticon

    Welcome back! yeah, I tend to keep to the basics - tracking food and exercise, water, veggies consumed. I read blogs to inspire and motvate me. That's about it.

    Welcome back! Yes, SP is a form of social media too just like FB only with a specific purpose. Just like keeping our food portions in check, we have to keep our computer time in check too.

    Nice that you have a REAL person, your sister, on this journey with you.

    Hang in there!

    I think that this site can be addictive and we end up spending more time here than working out

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...
