Hello hello! I'm at work today which is a nice little break from virtual learning, even though we are fortunate that it has been going really well so far.

Well now that I’ve established what day it is...🤦🏻♀️ Hi from the kids bathroom, I’m about to start painting. Both kids are at school so I’m doing this and I want to try and sneak in a walk, too. I weighed last night and it was not delightful, I’m about 5 up from where I like to be. I gained a couple corona pounds but lost that during the move, but I think I’ve been too indulgent with dessert and eating out this summer. Our vacation next week will not help so I need to lock things down 😬 lahdeedah are y’all far enough inland that you’ll be ok from the hurricane?

Morning! I got up to take M to school and do some cardio right after. I feel you on the corona pounds flamingo. 🥴 Now I’m just catching up here and chilling out before heading to work. I have a temp screening shift in a couple hours.

I'm at the office today while grandma does virtual learning. M's teacher is getting her adoption finalized in court today so she recorded all of her lessons and they have to do testing today to see where they are/what they know etc. Hopefully it all goes well.

peachsmama glad you are ok I second (third?) the corona pounds. I saw some pictures of me from vacation and was not amused. I started weight watchers again as soon as we got back and have been doing ok.

I'm working from home today due to the smoke. I've been coping with the Rona pretty well but this is kind of putting me over the edge. Not being able to breathe outside sucks. The kids and dog are going a bit bonkers as well.
Ugh. Also some Rona weight over here. So frustrating.

Corona pounds on top of pregnancy weight over here... I’m trying not to gain the 40lbs that I lost the 1.5 years before that 🤨.

These Wednesdays will be the end of me some day. It’s my day off, but all the cycling around to get kids from a to b... School, ballet, hairdresser, birthday party, errands pfff.
I did found a great Spanish deli and got all sorts of nice tapa’s to take to my friend. It might be a good thing students/coworkers have to stay 6ft apart, all.the.garlic 😂.

Getting out for hikes was like the one thing we could still do, and that’s not an option anymore.

Getting out for hikes was like the one thing we could still do, and that’s not an option anymore. Exactly. We may not have been able to go to a lot of public places or events, but walks, bike rides, running around at the park, hiking, most outdoors activities were still fair game. Everyone in our house is also mildly sick from it too (sore throats, watery eyes, headaches, stomach upset). I'll be so happy when we have fresh air.

I am considering my weight gain pregnancy weight. I have a lot of work to do to get down to where I’d like to be. It’ll be nice when the majority of my clothes fit again. I’m thinking of doing the FASTer way to fat loss. It’s a combo of intermittent fasting, carb cycling and macro tracking. Seems science based and someone I personally know got really good results from it. But, it’s $200 to start so I need to make sure I will commit to it. Also, getting off my butt and moving would help. Carrying the car seat is getting to be a lot so I need to work on my upper body strength. I’ve stopped my nightly Oreo binges so that’s a plus. Sorry you’re struggling inthekitty and cagoldi. I hope this is under control and the air clears soon. It’s even hazy outside here, and we are so far away.

That would drive me insane inthekitty. I heard there may be rain there soon which will help? I went into the office this morning to unpack all of the year end stuff I bought. Then I did a return at DSW. I tried to order a semi healthy sandwich from our local deli to pick up on the way gone for lunch but they are closed for vacation. So I ordered a salad from Cheesecake Factory, which is about the same level of calories as an extra value meal. So plus whatever to that corona weight. I was actually losing from March to July with C being home and bike riding. But I gained that back plus a little more. Snacks, desserts, and inactivity are to blame. C and I are biking to school once a week and I am trying to be less sedentary during the day.

Ive got a busy day. Been doing my usual WFH. We have a virtual employee event later today, a yoga session so I need to partake in that since I organized it. Then C has soccer but mh takes him. Then I have book club once the boys are back. I really don’t wanna go and feel kind of overwhelmed but I feel bad to just not show up, esp since the hostess is a friend of mine from HS.

Hello all.
I've been watching the Home Edit and while I dont LOVE everything that they do I do love the pantry clear bins so obvi I'm just trying to make that happen. I mean if we have to take everything out of the pantry anyways, might as well put it back together more organized than now.

But, relevant to you, they sell their containers at Canadian tire.

wedding we got a tiny bit of rain yesterday but it didn't do much. Hopefully in a couple days it'll start to clear up. OR is way worse than us and my brother is having a quick and short Covid friendly wedding Friday of next week so I hope it's mostly cleared down there by then.

inthekitty and cagoldi So sorry about the air quality. Not being able to just stand outside has to make everything seem so much harder. Hope both your areas get better soon. vino I guess the home edit should go on my list.

I promise Im not torturing my kid, but I just strapped her into these bad boys. Ortho shoes for after toe surgery. I bought 2, one for each foot. She can't toe walk in them and if she does put her toe down she's at least using the heel-toe motion. It will help stretch her calf muscles and hopefully break the toe walk habit. 🤞 She doesn't like them, but she isn't complaining either. I'll have her wear them just around the house.

I hope they help klong11 . I'm sure it's not fun but I think you're smart to work on it now. One of my cousins was a toe-walker as a kid and his parents never really pursued PT, etc. for it. I think now that he's an adult he tries to correct it but I still see him doing it every so often. Kind of awkward on a grown man. I'm sorry cagoldi inthekitty that sounds miserable. We've had fires here before due to lightning and dry conditions and it really is the pits, and that's in 'normal' times. Hang in there, hope relief is on the way.

They did a tour up there before covid in the late winter/spring. Clea is the best on IG.
