2020 - E-Learning - Day 7

9:49 a.m. - I got in another bike ride this morning, and it was a beautiful morning other than the wind picking up in my face on my way back, but I just thanked the universe for some free resistance and kept on peddling.  My weight has gone down for the fourth day in a row, which is AWESOME news.  I've been trying to be more active during the day...more walks, yardwork, to-do list items...and I've been trying to lay-off the chips and sugary snacks.  I need to keep the trend going down.  I want a flatter belly and decreased love handles!

Things for today
  • Possible
    • Send Carmen and Cole Easter cards and gift certificates.
  • Scheduled
    • Write recommendation letter for Kaitlyn Taylor (still waiting response from her)
  • Other

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (4/8)

The coronavirus news feels like a consistent roller coaster - sometimes there is news that is "light at the end of the tunnel", and sometimes there's news that is "there will be a lot of death".  Sometimes there's news of drugs to help; sometimes there's news of not enough PPE.
