Milestones (Amy's diary)

Hmmm I had to buy smaller jeans and work trousers . But I do have a pair of navy jeans I bought years ago by mistake and they could be my inspiration .
Amy if this epidemic dies down in a week or 2 perhaps you can revisit your plans . However I heard and I don’t know the source that virgin cancelled a flight from Aus to London via Hong Kong .
I wish you well on your weekend challenge .
 
That's a fun idea to buy a smaller pair of jeans to aspire to :)
I have a shirt that I like that's too small that i'm hoping i will fit one day again, so am keeping around. My aspirational shirt :) It's funny because it's second-hand and was super cheap but I just like it, so won't get rid of it haha

It's not so much that I am worried about catching it (though I'd hate to find out I'd been a carrier) but it's more that I don't want to take the risk of being bailed up for two weeks - or even longer than that - just one other person on a plane, could do it. :( It's not easy to predict how things could develop, when there's obviously politics in the mix (and profitability, too! the economics of the Olympics, for example) as well as plain medical and public health issues.

Yes that's exactly the debate that seems to be going on in everyone's heads. Mostly it doesn't seem like a terrible virus but who wants to be caught out in isolation somewhere?
 
Yeah, the coronavirus sucks because we don't really know how much longer this thing will go on for, or what's going to happen with it next. The good part is that the death rate is very low. If it was 20% say, the world would be in a massive panic altogether.

Sorry about the cheese and crackers, but glad to see that you have recovered well and are back on track. Keep it up.
 
I feel a bit foolish about the aspirational clothing, but it really would be a useful and unarguable external validator of inches lost (or not lost, if they still won't do up). Speaking of which, hang onto that much-loved shirt, liza! Its time will come again!

Yes, thanks, Petal I might rethink in a month or two. For anyone who's interested, or planning travel, this site is providing updated lists of which countries have limited arrivals from which other countries:

Thanks for the good wishes about the three-day challenge - tomorrow morning I'll know how I've gone. :ambivalence:

But on the cheerful side of things - lovely walk today, out to the edge of town, and around and under big old trees, and in hushed neglected places, in one of which I found someone had been doing a little quiet vegetable gardening! :D So good, on so many counts - not least being someone with (I suppose) no garden of their own finding a way to grow some vegetables. I must check if any photo came out! :)

living in a condo, i don't really have access to a yard, but i manage to do a lot on my small porch. if you like peppers they are soooo easy to grow. don't take much attention and, although i can pick up the same peppers at the store for next to nothing, the ones i grow always seem to taste a little better.

i'm waiting for the solstice before i start in on anything major, but for fun i planted some carrots a few days ago which are supposed to do well this time of year. see how that goes. everything i grow is in pots.

That sounds like such a great walk Amy--yes i love secret gardens/gardeners too :)
 
Well... I didn't quite get to where I wanted to be, weight-wise, on Monday morning, but I'm following the half-a-pound is fine principle, as expounded recently by @liza. :)
And anyway - we don't let the scales rule our lives, the aim is healthy all round - and I'm trying hard to follow that.
Not much of a post from me today, because I've got lots to get done, but cheers everyone, and I hope all of you who are heading to bed right now, (or are already there!) get a good night's sleep, and those of you who've started Monday have a great day and a great week to come. :)
 
Hi, Amy. Being healthy is what really matters & you do a good job of that. Let's all have a good week & be as healthy as we can be.
 
Science at work! (or, more truthfully, science when I should have been getting ready for work. :D )
I have just ascertained by personal inspection that 30 grams of sunflower seeds in the shell amounts to 15 grams of actual seeds, the seeds having been each one bitten open, very carefully, because I'm still a trifle unnerved by recent reminders that teeth can suddenly break for no good reason - and to be fair, some of these sunflower seeds were pretty darn tough, while still in their shells.
All this so I could post on a thread that Nelly started, about low-calorie snacks! :) I have been using them (the sunflower seeds still in the shell) as a handy snack, because biting them open slows down the rate of consumption, but I'd never checked what the actual calorie count is - nor have I yet, but by the time I post on her thread, I will have!
