From yesterday...
Hinder - I've been stress eating the last few days, so my weight has gone up slightly. Hovering around 210 now. On the one hand, my brain says stress-ration everything. More fasting = more food for later, and who knows how long this will go on. On the other hand, my brain says stress-eat everything RIGHT NOW.
On the bright side, we had Mexican for dinner Monday AND Tuesday night, to support one of our favorite local restaurants, and I only "gained" a pound from that. I know it wasn't a true gain, either, and if I can get myself back on track, then it'll come off. I've been really bad about drinking water the last few days - I went from 120-150oz a day to maybe 40oz. I can feel the difference in my body for sure. I'm trying to rally myself mentally and put energy into exercise, cleaning, and learning... but I just can't focus on anything lately.
Help - DH is working from home during the days, so I get to see him more. Him not driving half an hour across town, twice a day, 5 days a week, is a small help to our monthly budget since we don't have to put gas in his truck weekly. He also was able to get the garage a little more cleaned out/organized, which is a project he has been trying to tackle for a while now. We cut cable yesterday to free up $30 a month, but we still have Netflix/Disney+/Prime, which will let us watch more of the movies and series we've been saying for months we needed to see, instead of just letting the news play in the background.
From today....
Wow I feel too tired to woohoo. Let's see. Woohoo - We are, so far, still healthy, knock on wood. Woohoo - DH is, so far, still employed, knock on wood. Those are big woohoos right now.
Taking stock of all the food in the house today to see where we stand. I know we can get through this week and maybe even most of next week, but I know there is a grocery visit in the not-too-distant future. I'm anxious about any amount of getting-out at this point because what if THAT one trip is THE one trip. If DH gets sick, we're in big trouble.
We've been doing Swagbucks surveys for gift cards and all of the surveys I've taken this week have added questions about how COVID-19 is affecting our buying habits.
I'm hoping the rain will stop for a couple of days so the ground will dry out. It's time to start doing yardwork again but it's rained so much lately the yard is just a swamp. I miss the sunshine!
