Goals & Progress for the Week

 I *have* been following my program pretty well, and having some pounds lost as success, but because I may yo-yo (esp. w/ Dec. treats) ...I won't *officially* declare where I am until month's end.

  • 7/31: 8 cups water;
  • 7/31: track food: pretty happy w/ totals: 1673, 1525, 1498, 1670, 1607, 1655, 1710 (goal per mfp=1670; struggled a bit today/very late last night)
  • 7/31: workout: min: pretty happy with my efforts: 30, 120, 135, 120, 75, 120, 60, 30 (went to Dr. then went shopping today)
  • 2/31: yoga - just not into it lately
  • 6/31: thyroid Rx...had prob w/ refill
  • 2.75/15: my turn to make dinner; shared effort a 1/2 time then 1/4 time  (opening cans for chili) then made dinner (leftovers, very elevated) once, & processed apples...for hours (so I'm counting it)
Not quite as on it with the personal goals, esp. coding, art/bujo; have been attempting cleaning and writing, like this post....

-clean, minimum an hour (mostly basement)
  • 7/31: though mostly not in basement (did outside leaf raking; dishes in kitchen; and grocery shopping, even apple harvest processing...which are all time-consuming and that might have been basement-cleaning...also mom went downstairs on Sunday, with a mood, so I stayed out!); cumulative? 
-code, minimum an hour (learn at least 1 new thing)
  • 0/31: allowing this to be cumulative, so can still get perfect score for month;
-write/journal/bujo, minimum an hour
  • _/31: also cumulative;
-art/needlework/(bujo), minimum 15 min.
  • 1/31: also cumulative;
-visualize, minimum 5 min.
  • 3/31: hmmm...is it true that days I didn't visualize I binged? or is it on days I didn't do big workout?
-dental + mental health, including visualization of results, minimum 5 min.
  • 3/31: gotta do better on this...it's easy but can be awkward timing at night;
-spiritual health, including gratitude practice, minimum 5 min.
  • 4/31: this is a no-brainer...should do better on it!
NOW: new: This week I'm adding a new component to my daily challenge: 

-physical calisthenics challenge: 50 crunches, {push-ups}, squats, lunges, and plank(s)...maybe I will do some now!

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
