Petals diary

Had a really nice day yesterday . Had a visitor but we all kept our distance but lots of fun and laughter. Visitors will be limited now.
Ate reasonably well. My treat food I shall call it is rationed .
I went to a small store to pick up some bottled water and it was extremely well stocked . My husband said the butcher shop was as well stocked as usual but the farmers market he goes too had nothing left . He managed to get the last 3 onions. I don't go to the market because I spend too much money .

:rotflmao: I understand. So much!
 
I love the farmers market too. It is so much better than supermarket shopping & means the money goes straight to the farmers. They really do get ripped off.
 
Thanks LaMa and Cate . I love them too but I can't pass one by without saying hello and buying something whereas husband goes to the 2 or 3 we actually need . I am a disaster .

Went for lovely long walk yesterday and listened to my book. Had a good day considering all that is happening .
However I feel sad at what we are all facing these coming weeks ahead.

Oh my slimming class is cancelled so I will now be weighing myself on a Wednesday morning and reporting to my diary . Need to keep focussed.

I am writing a shopping list everyday as we use up something and will try to replace every 3 days . I have not gone to a store since Friday am so am going to attempt it this morning before work for 10 mins.

Will check in on you all on and off through breakfast and tea break . Tea break will be isolated at my desk !

Good luck everyone
 
Best of luck to you as well. I just went to the grocery store to stock up on things I only buy once a year or so so I don´t normally remember them until I´m all out. All good now. Not crowded at all and stocked up on most things (except shelf-stable bread, beans, and stuff like that). Won´t go back to the store for a couple of days at least.

I'm glad of the lovely long walk. Well - for the whole good day, actually! as a time of calm and joy to take a breath, in the midst of our world-shared turmoil. I hope your shopping went well. :grouphug:
 
The shop was busy but I got all on my list except butter beans and one other thing for my son.

I am trying desperately hard to keep level headed. I feel we are facing a lot worse here at the moment but I do trust we are dealing with it in proper order. I feel saddened with everyone losing jobs . People are scared for their futures. I do think though it will bounce back .
Sorry I don't have much positive to report now but I'm hoping to go for a hike later which will clear the head .
 
We will bounce back. Of course the people at the bottom of the pyramid will get hit hardest, same as always. For me it really helps to not watch the news all the time. And to limit the amount of time I talk about it with friends. Distraction is your friend!
 
Good to know that you "trust we are dealing with it in proper order" if more people felt that way the panic feeling would go away. I agree things will bounce back, its just a matter of when, and I am hoping its soon. As you and LaMa say there are people who will be hurt by the economic consequences of this. Petal, I think you are probably one of the more level headed people about this. We need more of that. Hiking is a much better idea than listening to the news!
 
LaMa you are so right . Thought I would pop back to say had a wonderful hike and a drive and right now am making a chicken and noodle stir fry . Also read my book this morning for a while . I have decided to listen to the news once a day at 9 pm from our own Irish broadcaster .
Thanks Rob I am not sure I am . I do get panicked but I control it well .
 
Walks are good! And controlled panics are better than the other kind.

Will you still be able to get to your SW meetings? Online maybe?

Hang in there, this will pass.
 
No Rob I mentioned they were cancelled I thought or maybe I forgot . So I will now weigh myself on Wednesday mornings which I have done now and have my starting point 176.75. I have been hovering on this or a bit below for to long .

So some little targets for me . I need to get to 169.75 to get to the 160s so that's 7 lbs and actually that gets me to 40lb weight loss also since last May.

Ok I will just have that one little target for now. Or big target !
 
I forgot to get on the scales this morning (too busy) but I´m somewhere in the 160s so I´m looking forward to you joining us in our club! Unless all this thisness causes me to drop out of it in whatever direction :)
PS: Just checked what 160 and 170 are in kg and I really don´t want to get into the 170s but I mayyy drop into the 150s at some point if I´m lucky. 160 is probably about my setpoint.

Oh, excellent ! A good, clear, achievable target! Go, Petal! :hurray: (and cheers for round numbers!)

I'm just barely in the door at the 160s Club right now - in fact, tomorrow morning I mightn't be - but then, tomorrow can take care of itself - I squeaked in again today. :D

Incredible achievement so far Petal.

In other news, everything is a bit shit at the moment. Hope you're okay. :grouphug:
