This makes a lot of sense. I was worried that you were referring to be spiritually draining, my spiritual director always reccommends to see where energy is driving you, not sure if this helps?

Some weeks are like that, mine as well was ups and downs. These are waves and will pass. What's the e-diet?

Aargh! Nearly missed your thread!! How is this week going?

How much do you need to exercise to consume the apartment manager calories?!? better feed the croackroaches with them

OMG! This is really difficult! And I realise I cannot complain for the painters entering the only room of the house where I put all my belongins then. I got angry for much less... I'm sorry to hear what you are going through, hopefully it will pass soon!

Happy Thursday! Seems a lot of good things happening

Thu - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - no - cook once per week - 1/3 (done for this week) - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - yes - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - funnily enough, went for dinner with a priest, but no!

Cooking is easy when: 1. you make polenta in the bread machine (boil water, pour water, salt, corn flour in the BM, set jam setting, wait 1h) 2. You are at home anyway! But with the limitation of the kitchen being painted and all, I'm happy I could cook!

Wed - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - yes - cook once per week - 1/3 - polenta! - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - so tired I'll do it - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - yes

I get you! So much! The only exercise that I did at home was wii, and that didn't last long either. I walked to/from work every day and was a delight! But moved further out and that makes me 1 hour away. I probably could/should continue, but it's just too much mentally. I find that Darebee Daily dare is doable as it's so little time, but still I'm not really up for that every day. What's wrong with black beans? Fibre, proteins, yum!

What a day! Started with sending condolescences and dealing with what in previous post. Went to work, received a call from my priest on the way, agreed to meet in the evening, realised I forgot my laptop home, headed back, met a former manager of mine, catched up, my tram was stopped for a while, walked home, alerted the painters I was here, joined a meeting, thought I couldn't connect to the work network, panicked because I might have to work from home for other three days as a storm is coming. And all that before 10.30!

It happens. Can you leave earlier another day? Or take longer breaks?

That is a big milestone!!! from the storage place to few boxes you came a long way!!! When you say drained, what do you mean? Mentally or other?

Ok, need to share this with someone... In August I was meant to go on a date, with a guy that I was really clicking with on the chat. I knew he had some medical issues, but nothing more. The plan was to meet on Sunday, but the Thursday before he broke his hip. I offered to meet him in the hospital after the surgery and he declined. After that I got no answer. Got a bit hurt, as it didn't seem the person to ghost me, but I shrug it off. On the 24th I sent him a text, because I felt something about him. I googled him today and discovered that was the day of his funeral. I don't know how to feel now, it's so sad that someone so young dies! And here I am having feelings of being cheated by fate, and bad that I make it all about me.

Actually,@Waanie I recently wrote this in anothe thread: I feel the desire to cook at home, yet I am not 'finding the time' that I know it being my excuse... what is the block I don't know yet.

Hahaha, contagion of the pineapple stitch!

My issue is remembering to eat before I get starving (that seem odd for an obese person) So I'm often skipping breakfast as I'm late for work. I have lunch there, sandwich or pre-made. If I go to a tech meetup (as tonight I was speaking at one) there can be crappy and disgusting pizza. I arrived home 10pm. Now I'm in bed, feeling hungry but not acting on it. Home-cooking is faster when you are home, and I miss it so much! I still have the tail of a big time-consuming wave that is keeping me from cooking much. I know, I know, excuses. I'm giving me some space for this challenge, but at least one meal a week NEEDS to be in! C'm on! Tue - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - yes - cook once per week - 0/3 - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - yes, am so tired! - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - yes

Monday - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - yes - cook once per week - 0/3 (does cheese sandwich count?) - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - yes, was so tired! - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - no I'm really tired, can't say more

Thanks!! yet still so much to do!

I'm just in a similar situation. Moved in Sunday, now have to unpack while some works are still going on. Don't be discouraged! You can't be undoing months in few days, this fat will go off faster. Can you batch cook at the weekend? Can you set a minimum of protein and/or vegetables per day? Can you do one small exercise a day (yesterday I was surprised that I did get many steps bringing boxes upstairs. My muscles nearly gave up, so don't underestimate that] I find that having carrots baton around help for the stress eat because they are crunchy. Is there anything you can do to reduce the stress? Good luck and let us know!

I like the colours!! Also, I know I am supposed to concentrate on the bug, put the only thing I can see is the pineapple pattern!

I would say it's healthier to eat eggs every day than canned tuna every day. Why? No idea [emoji5] My nutritionist wanted me to eat pulses every day, so I started using chickpea flour for many things. I am tempted by this recipe without sugar though: https://www.craftycookingmama.com/homemade-chocolate-fudge-black-bean-protein-bars-vegan/ Or this replacing flour with chickpea flour: https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/recipes/sugar-free-beetroot-and-chia-brownie Or maybe I'm just mad [emoji16] For exercise, do you have a habit chain? Or maybe you could define what exercise looks like? Did you exercise 3x week before? If so, what has changed?

Sunday - moved out!!!! - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - yes (if I remember when in bed) - cook once per week - 0/2 (still not 100% well, my belly rumbles still a bit) - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - 45mins to the deadline, still bed to do and other things! - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - yes Busy and rewarding day. Did phy exercises and darebee daily dare, packed, cleaned, moved out, unloaded boxes in the new place, discovered that freezer must have been left open because it froze out water, defrost some, chatted with a friend, went out for dinner with her, went to prayer, then Mass, talked to a friend about her depressed son, waited for the bus for 15 minutes, arrived home, chatted to the neighbour, started unpacking some stuff. Writing it all out is quite [emoji33] for all I achieved in one day!

Sat - 1 day to move out! - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - no - cook once per week - 0/2 (barely ate) - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - in bed at 11.30, yes - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - yes Emotional day, found some of my writings. It's long since I have been happy. Yet, I can tell how many of my prayers were realised. And reveals some patterns. And now it's nearly midnight and I'm thirsty. Shall I drink and risk not sleeping because of sleep apnoea (I reckon is partially caused by reflux) or because of thirst?

Thu-Fri-Fri (more than a week!) - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - not often, because of sickness - cook once per week - 0/2 (but for this week, I barely ate) - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - random sleeping pattern, not only because of sickness though - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - some, not regular
