week 2-summer5%Cas: Down 2.0 pounds: Blog36/100(-23)

 Down 2 pounds for weigh-in today for week 2 Summer5%Challenge; so far down 5.4 in challenge; down 32.8 for 2020; lost 11.9 in summer2019, but then got Achilles heel injury (& went off plan)


Am on 'casual travelers' team 5% team, which fits my operating mode (many who are on it are maintainers, or close to it, though there are a couple of other heavyweights too). It's keeping me focused but the fact I can be casual about all except weigh-in day keeps me from self-sabotaging because of imprecise perfection (sometimes I get wrapped up in the little actions, especially if there is guilt in not doing them perfectly, that I lose focus). The 5%challenge is 8 weeks long, so it's a quarter done. Time to redouble efforts to focus on being successful, considering that my thyroid often gets in the way.

Wishing us all a good, peaceful, healthy week! #stayHomeStaySateWearAMask!!!

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

Solstice Blessings

  Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed is he who repeats it. - Arabian proverb This is an issue for me today, and everyday, as I am working towards managing anger better. I sincerely believe that "Spreading goodwill can return to you"...basically moods are catching. Living with mom can be a trial...she is often playing the martyr. SPARK says: "This quote can be read in a few ways, and all of them are worth thinking about. First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
