I downloaded a book with audio for kindle - stock market trading for dummies :) and this is my reading material going forward and today of course :) cost around I think $25 with everything audible and kindle. Worth it, I know already.
I am stopping with the textbook for project management. I feel I got enough out of it for now. And current focus is on stock trading and legal vocab words
Signed up online for 3 Friday's of hour long chair yoga from 4:30-5:30 for the rest of this month of May :-) each session is $10 and it's through a local park organization. Found it on Facebook events. Also signed up for a few more watch only free Facebook events (not exercise related) to break up the monotony and the next two weeks !

exercise - around 45min to an hour walk :)
did read some info on stocks - still need to read more :)
I got a new, totally free, trial from blue apron food delivery last night that I will cook possibly tonight one of the meals :)
starting the day off with cereal, shower, and reading about stock trading. I need an oil change and also to ship a package back to amazon, but, I figure it's best I do the reading about stocks now that I am relaxed and with no other priorities like weight lifting or exercise now. I have my guinea pig on my lap and I'm ready to read a bit today about stock trading :-)
Edit - got the oil change and shipped my package back in the afternoon between 3-5pm got it done :)
went walking a mile during oil change and went with ricky but we went for cover in his garage bc it started to rain and is cold - now waiting to contine our walk :-)
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
You are definitely enjoying your days these days (from what I can tell) and that is really good to hear :)
I’m glad I have been cooking more and I also am not always in the mood to cook- at all!
Lately I keep craving chicken nuggets, lol!
happy Mother's Day to the moms !
I am up and will start upper body weights soon so I will complete them before the rest of the day starts ! :-) and got it done just before noon - major success lol !

------------
Went walking with ricky and to the garden store - bought cilantro and a strawberry plant :) hoping to feed guiniea pigs with leaves from both !
plan - study legal terms for 20 minutes until 11am. Then do leg workout followed I think by upper body workout - full workout today extra long so that I have both tomorrow and Monday off from weights :-)
edit - skipped - upper body after dinner will push to do it tonight so I don't have to do it tomorrow :) - will do upper Body tomorrow morning ...
Yesterday was a rest day - no exercise. And I didn't end up watching stock videos or reading anything - so I'll make up for that today....I get anxiety (that makes me hungry lol) just thinking about looking into stocks - that I must do bc I want to !!!! :-) I promise myself I'll begin.....
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It takes away any pressure of expectations - expectations of either learning the material, potential disappointment or feelings of being overwhelmed.
I say, pour yourself a glass of wine, and sit back and watch a video or 2 and see what you think. Imagine yourself at a hotel convention center, walking around to pass time, and then popping into this room where they're talking about stocks, just for the fun of it -- which is more fun with a glass of wine in hand!
9:45am breakfast oats almond milk dried jackfruit 350, 2 bags sour gummies 200, coffee 50.
noon lunch - leftover small piece steak 150, leftover roasted potatoes and carrots 150?. 300-350. Good to have real food. And extra protein.

DONE need to call Christine today.when laundry is done ?
TONIGHT ? thinking to maybe do leg exercises though not sure.
DONE will do laundry today including the Guniea pig fleece :) but only pillow covers and not all my sheets as I did them last week. - before legal terms and after my shower....
CANCELLED ricky wants to come over with a frozen soup later though I'm not really in mood ...
....will read / watch at least 3 items on stock trading before lunch or possibly after phone call with Christine
DONE BUT WANT TO DO MORE. will review legal terms after breakfast and after putting laundry in ...

-----------------------------------
Today is upper body strength day - which includes pushups and crunches - I may get these exercises out of the way before 1pm, not sure, but looks like a good idea to finish them up now that I think about it so I don't have to do them after a walk when I'd rather read / relax later
I also want to cook a steak meal today - the steak has already defrosted so I will do this.
- upper body - before 1pm
- study legal words - now for 20-30min
- maybe textbook
- cook steak meal - early afternoon
- walking outdoors 1 or 2x 1pm and maybe 6pm
-------------------------------
today Will be a most beautiful, lovely weather day around 60F and sunny. I am going out early with Ricky to walk and perhaps we will also walk later tonight again - just around the community for these walks today.
So yesterday I cleaned the bathroom shower area which is awesome! I never did read anything on stock trading although I did find something and saved it. I am soooo uneager, but at the same time it's exactly what I want to do / study. I still have time..
I have started studying the new legal terms but still taking a break from a new chapter of the textbook - but will begin either today / tomorrow and will prob continue with textbook on the weekend since I didn't get into it This week.
time is flying.
therapist mentioned she heard about free Harvard online classes of which I admit I am NOT interested in.
just sticking with a few assignments for myself at a time and it seems to be working out.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I think an online class might be a bit too much. I guess it would depend on the class? I'd much rather watch TED talks on YouTube.
You seem to be doing well with what you have to read and study already. It's a nice mix: vocab, fiction, textbook. Oh, and then stocks.
Rather than learning about stocks, how about a book on retirement planning? Many of those books are friendlier and easier to read, in my opinion.
Like the Harvard class, it's just a thought. :-)
Glad you're getting out to walk!
Yes Ricky loved the dinner I couldn’t believe his reaction !
And THe walks are great !
edit - cleaned the bathroom shower today :-) the toilet and sink I do together and more often than the shower. So glad it's cleaner !

-----------------------------------
today weather is colder and overcast so I am totally thinking about remaining home for today.
yesterday was fabulous with a majority of the afternoon spent outdoors.
i will def watch something on trading stocks today - maybe I will get a book off amazon ! With audible !!
Weights were yesterday and I don't see myself completing another lower leg workout today...actually, yes I will during people's court followed by bike!.
i will use the bike for sure and possibly a little light stepping though I'm not sure on the stepper....
ordered a cotton quilt for my bed for spring / summer on amazon and tried for the most inexpensive but still cotton. Got a used like new one to save an additional small amount!
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Yesterday was surprisingly pleasant here, and today should be too, but we're in for a cold spell come this evening into Friday. Friday night frost!
Anyways we have this one lovely day today before it gets colder !
Good AM!
9am-9:30 breakfast cold oats with almond milk 200, last of the craisins ! 150, gummies 100, iced coffee 50. 500
snacks pb on rice cake 150, kombucha 50-100, later sour gummies 150
cooked up some veggies for later to eat with my moms brisket that she gave me :) will eat with ricky - I cooked both spaghetti squash and riced cauliflower so they are ready for later. And I just realized I have both roasted broccoli and sweet potatoes - Ricky will be happy !
2pm lunch - toasted wrap with butter 200, soft boiled egg 100. 300. Chips 150
7-7:30pm dinner: moms brisket that was frozen - amazing and a bigger piece 400?, riced cauliflower with butter 200?, red pepper small piece, leftover roasted broccoli 50, dumb gummies lol 100. 750
2100.
worked out upper body.
had a nice long walk with ricky and rest stops for sitting and recharging along the way.
---------------------------------------------------------------
its now around 11:30 and I'm going to shower after looking over just a few new legal words while cuddling my Guinea pigs...I will start on upper body exercises so that I'm done early in the day and can go walking in the warmest part of the day with Ricky at a nearby large but probably not crowded venue. Yesterday I wasted a lot of time so I think I'm already doing better.
i want to def learn about trading stocks and stock market so yes I will watch something on it soon.... I know I could have done it already but it's ok.... I'll start soon.
for me, it's always one thing at a time!
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I have never found enjoyment in learning about trading stocks...and i've had to take many classes/courses in this. I only retained enough to have given me a very basic understanding :)
Hope you can get outside today!
I hope you can find a good class on sticks. Like Legs, I've tried too. Books, videos... On a very basic level, investment vehicles (stocks, hedge funds, REITs) are interesting, but when they start getting into the graphs, forget it.
I like the Investopedia website. I don't know if they have classes, but if you ever want an explanation on any investment topic, they prove clear explanations both to read and cool whiteboard videos.
Good luck! Let us know what you find!
9:00 breakfast - piece of banana bread 100, gummies 100, cereal and almond milk 200, craisins and coffee 200. (No protein)

2050 - great considering I felt this afternoon like I was going to blow it. Thank gosh for healthy alternatives and some precooked veggie soup.
----------------------
I may need to start eating a little bit healthier for my snacks, but, we'll see. Today I haven't been satisfied particularly bc we went out to exercise right after I ate lunch and then i came back shortly after and had snacks .... so all my eating was sorta messed up and also breakfast was a lot of calories compared to how I usually would eat while working / all at once and not as snacks, etc.
i have a lot of eggs at home so one or both meals may include them :)
I should bike ride .....did a short half hour with ricky then it got too windy so I decided not to go out on my own to do more ...Ricky fixed his bike before we went riding :-)
also did my legs strength exercises this AM before going out :-)
Another beautiful day here starting at 70F and dropping to 60F by 5pm !!!! So I should get outside early maybe bike ride ? I have to do it by myself since Rickys bike is broken....?
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
So glad we are still able to get outside and spend some time in the sun!
Plus you had done exercise... and you've been eating a little less lately. So having a higher day mixes things up.
Well done!
Yes dinner saved me yesterday.
It’s good I got some healthy meat and protein in at dinner time along with veggies :-)

yesterday was nice. Today going somewhere very local to walk - weather is to be a high of 75F!!!!!!!
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It looks like a well done day, with respect to your menu. I realized after reading one of your comments to me, that I eat differently during the work week than I do when I'm off. I think I eat more at work.
The 75f to 80F yesterday was for some day but we have nice 60F spring weather for two more days without any rain !!!! Trying to be outside most days

i love Crunch Berries - i may get some the next time DH goes to the store.
Are you planning on investing?
I won’t buy the captain crunch again bc it was sooooo sweet but I enjoyed it this week!
Yes, I want to invest but want to at least do further reading of this book at least before I step into the market !!!!! If I knew something now, I’d prob already be investing at this very moment on the downside of things !!!!! Any tips ?
Donkey on 05/13/2020:
Good for you on the stock trading book! I agree with the switch from the textbook to this book. May I also suggest that you watch some business shows on tv. As you learn more from your book, you'll be able to appreciate their analysis on tv. Not long- maybe just a 30 minute show.
I hope you enjoy chair yoga! The lady who offers chair yoga at the library is having a Zoom class this month. It's interesting to see each teacher's approach. The library teacher focuses on posture and functional movement. The veteran's teacher focuses on stress relief. The yoga studio seems to focus more on range of motion. Anyway, I hope you have a good class!
One last note, 2 weeks ago? Associate Attorney had KFC for lunch. The conference room smelled like fried chicken all afternoon! YUM
Can I take part in your library chair yoga zoom?!
That’s a good idea to watch coverage of business / market discussion on tv.
