I am doing abs and weights today. Walked lots yesterday so I'm keen on staying home today and maybe sitting outside later on balcony in sunshine if its warm enough.
no real cooking today. Still have a bit of my roast pork loin to enjoy.
the chicken is frozen in my freezer as I don't want to make it until after this weekend is over.
whenever I do decide to go to the grocery store, I may buy a little more Chicken to cook and practice my skills on:) not getting another food deliver until next Thursday after this one as I have a lot of food around the kitchen that I can use like tuna, beans, etc. if I don't my chicken, I may buy meat to make chili. Im not sure but def needing a grocery list. At least I am good on toilet paper tissues and paper towels :)
wishing everyone well <3

______________________________________
Today Ricky and I decided to do a drive to a cemetary that is well known but in a different county. It's around 30 minutes away and over a bridge as well. I need the driving practice a bit and it was planned we do something bigger on the weekend since Ricky is still working from home during the week. I'm looking forward to going there and getting some outdoor exercise in. We are leaving our apts around 12:30pm to go there. I still have a full tank of gas but might get some gas on the way home from this day trip. I have gloves in my car i can use when getting gas.
That's it for today. I was able to cook another meal from the meal kit last night and it was even better than the salmon one. It had pork loin which stayed juicy with roasted squash and cooked rainbow chard. a good meal. I'm giving Ricky the other pork loin today as he said he would take it for a snack, LOL, while he walks at the cemetary he said he'd just it the pork loin! haha it's not on a bone or anything, so he asked me to put it in a bag for him....LOL.
Later today i don't have many plans. I need to take the recycling downstairs as it's really building up!
And i'm still reading the textbook again...not starting another story book till i at least finish a chapter or two from this textbook....
i will prob give a call to my friend Christine today. i'm a bit talked out as yesterday i got even more phone calls than planned, but, i should call her even if it's short because i said i would.

DONE will use bike during some court tv- done for over hour while on phone with French friend

How is your French friend doing? How is it there with the virus?
I'm so proud that you are able to be self-disciplined to read the textbook. Those can be difficult to read without the class part to go along with it.
Yeah the textbook is on simple subject matter as its not math or science but yes the textbook is hard to follow and I find myself constantly rereading parts before moving ahead.
French friend makes half her normal salary on unemployment which is low and her fiancé had broken up with her several months before this virus occurred. She wasn’t able to get find a new apt to move into so they are still stuck quarantined together ! He’s a good man though and not doing anything to hurt her purposely or not. Just sucks they have to be together in a one bed apt. But they are getting along enough she said.... in France you cannot travel anywhere and are supposed to stay within one kilometer of your home. Seems France has a firmer approach than us in terms of quarantine!
10am Breakfast oatmeal and almond milk cold 200, yogurt 150, iced coffee 50, gummy vitamins 2 servings lol of a higher sugar type 50...450.

reading the book, 10% left then I'll switch back to the textbook for project management which I'm still on break from!....finished the book.
left to drive somewhere close with ricky for a walk since the weather has cleared up after the rain :-)
today is upper body and abs with a walk later. - did the walk nice walk today in a very expensive neighborhood nearby I don't usually go by with ricky and weights are skipped until tomorrow morning :-)
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
A drive and a walk sound line a lovely idea. I love to walk through fancy neighborhoods to admire the houses and landscaping. Wouldn't really want it for myself - too much to clean and keep up.
Did you celebrate Passover?
Yes I felt lonely too when the book was over just like you talk about feeling !
The drive and walk was amazing too.
No Passover - I stayed in my apt and didn’t go home to parents bc my mom is having a challenging time with the 1.5yr old baby and couldn’t make the whole meal anyways plus the social distancing so I stayed in my own place ...
How many people would your meal feed? How does that work? Can you prep for 1 or 4? Is it flexible like that?
I'm very excited for your new experience! Inquiring minds want to know!!
Yes you do chop veggies and yes you do mix a few ingredients together to make sauce. The meals are supposed to take 40 minutes but I do say that’s the FASTEST. Seems that I like my veggies more roasted and they seem to need more time in the oven than the recipe / directions says. The recipies have been good in these two meals but sometimes I feel there’s been too much use of honey in them! Today I was supposed to add honey on top of roasted squash and I decided not to use it because roasted squash and amazing just with oil and pepper and doesn’t need honey ! Waste of calories.
The fish and meat taste and texture have been excellent.
I’ve either added too much oil or not enough when I roast the veggies lol. Just because I don’t do it enough at home previously so I’m still learning . But the directions in roasting veggies seem to show the shortest time they’d take and they seem to need several more minutes to roast - today I cooked them liken 20 extra minutes to roast squash

I'm happy to say yesterday i used my stepper, bike and upper body weights. Planning to walk outside in beautiful spring weather (64F) today with sunny skies.
I will be going thru my legal vocab words 2x today of the half i've studied.
I will read for 20-30 mintues from my Proj Managment textbook.
I will read a book i have on my phone thru free amazon prime books - the book i had to return to the NY Public Library when i thought we were moving offices (we never did since it was the week this pademic was getting real in mid March). so i'm glad this book was on Amazon prime, i added the kindle app to my phone, and that i can continue to read it for FREE! it's amazing i can keep reading right where i left off. i started reading it yesterday or the day before and really enjoying the book. it's called Far From the Maddening Crowd. a very old classic that was turned into a movie as well.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
edit - not the best eating lately...and going to bed hungry because i keep staying up too late...good to stay more busy, i guess, with more plans and then try to keep sleep a normal schedule.

i have ordered a food service where I will cook the meals at home starting end of next week as a trial ! The deal was great - free ! Just pay the 9.99 shipping. A friend gave me a code. So I will be eating well - chicken/pork/salmon starting end of next week, thank gosh! It's called Martha and Marley Spoon. I will only be using the trial as the service usually costs I think around $70 a week for 3 meals with 2 servings each which is actually pretty good as I am thinking about it! Maybe I will continue during this isolation time, we will see. Perhaps I'll do it for two weeks.

______________________________________
did my leg exercises in late morning, then took a shower at noon.
Hour walk - will go out for a walk today (in a local cemetary for a change of pace - yes, really) with Ricky. as long as it's open, we know it won't be crowded with people!
yesterday i stayed home as the weather was rainy and a good day to stay inside :)
i still haven't read chapter 4 or even started it. i think i'm taking a full break from the reading until monday of the textbook...i think tonight i'll push myself to read a web downloaded version of a book i had to return to the library that i was able to get off Amazon Prime, for free :)...i currently will use my phone as the way to read it as opposed to my laptop, would rather read my phone for now...i can adjust the font for reading :)
honestly, with the textbook, maybe i'll just read it on weekdays. i'm sorta sick of the textbook for now.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I love walking in cemeteries! It's so interesting to see the different names - especially the "Old School" names that you don't hear any more: Edna, Myrtle, etc. There is a cemetery near my work. A lot of the names are German! And then there are familiar names that I think, "Oh is that his/her ancestor?" or "Is that where (street name) got its name from?" I also look at it as a way to honor those who came before us, and most likely had it harder than we do now.
I completely agree to hold the textbook reading to weekdays. That's more work-related, and weekends should be for you.
10:30am Breakfast sour gummies 160, coffee 40, nature valley cookie with almond butter 200...400!

Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I thought of you last night, just couldn't get myself to do weights, other than my push-ups. I'll talk more about that in my own entry. But I'm glad someone around here is doing weights! (lol)
Oh those gummies --- I LOVE them!!!
don't feel bad about not doing weights one day, just pick it up when you are able to soon!
the cauliflower crust was eaten as is...no sauce or cheese...it's a crust that is such a mix of ingredients that it was just satisfying enough to eat alone because it has a lot of seasonings...i'll take a picture next time i eat one...i've had them in my fridge for way over a year when i ordered a bulk of them at once..and i have 2 crusts left :)
I haven't tried those specific gummies - I meant to say that I love ALL gummies, which is why I don't keep them in the house. I don't care for jello though.

Good idea to use up hat you have...as long as you freeze the meat from the meals you haven t cooked yet.
At lot of the things I have at home I don’t crave like the tuna and beans but perhaps I can push myself gently to use up some things :-)
Donkey on 04/12/2020:
We had sun for a little bit -- I didn't get out quick enough, because it got cloudy within an hour of the sun coming out and then it didn't feel as warm/nice outside.
Sounds like you had a lovely day, and I'm glad to hear you rested up after all the walking yesterday - what an adventure that was!
It was an awesome adventure even though that’s NOT what we should be doing lol and it was wonderful to get jack to weights and stay home today ....Taco Bell brought to me by ricky
