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!

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

  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...
