    I honestly wish masks were mandatory here in our town/state. I live in a very small town and we’ve had a hot spot of cases within the last few weeks. We’ve had 180 cases just in our tiny, rural county. Over 40,000 cases in our state.

    I’m working on getting us more masks too but I’m not good on the sewing machine. My aunt says she’ll make us some more and ship them but we’re having problems finding fabric.

    @Leah_62803 - Same here, I live in a small country town 3 hours away from Metro Melb. So far, we are covid-19 free here just 30 mins by car away from us, the other bigger town already have 43 covid-19 + :( So, never know what's going happen next. So, am just going to make more masks for the just in case :)

    Am happy that I managed to get some exercise done today :) Of course its not like the good old days where I can exercise for 45 mins to 1 hour. For now, even clocking in 20 mins is so hard with my vertigo :( But, am happy that I did it today :)

    16 pounds to go before I reach my GW... got to KISS - just OMAD and nothing fancy :)

    Sounds like you're truckin' along and doing great! Yes, all you can do is protect yourself from this invisible invader. I hope it doesn't get to your town! <3

    Good evening OMADers <3

    Am happy that I stopped being fancy and KISS <3 Weighed myself this morning and I am now 125 pounds. So, another 15 pounds to go :)

    I OMADed late today as its Saturday..lol. Had my OMAD at around 2.45pm and had a plate of Singapore Style Mee Goreng with Ham & Chicken, Battered Chicken dipped in Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce and 1 tall glass of Milo. Will try to exercise for 20 mins this evening *fingers cross*

    Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe <3

    I bought some super cute masks on Etsy :) we also have some disposable ones as well.

    Stay safe!

    @volgirl1322 - Thank you <3 Yes, its the same here..a lot of people are not wearing masks and those who were tested + just don't care and still go shopping, travelling, etc :(

    @mistymeadows2005 - Thank you <3 Just KISS OMAD did the trick for me :)

    Good evening OMADers <3

    Well... I guess that's how life is now. Its mandatory across our State to wear a face mask when leaving our homes now. If not, we will be fined $200. Have been sewing face masks for the family. Currently, little of me who can only sew straight lines have sewn 2 face masks for every family member and I guess I need to sew more since all 4 of us have to go to school and work each day. I guess 5 face masks per person should be sufficient.

    On the OMAD front, I weighed myself this morning and I am happy to see 123 pounds flashing on the scale :) So, another 13 pounds to go before I reach my GW :) For OMAD today, I have been a little naughty... I had cheezels as I was craving like mad for it :lol: I ate my fill and then had some soupy noodles with egg. I no longer restrict myself to what I can or cannot eat. This made it much easier for me to continue with my OMAD :) As for exercises, I am trying to clock in 20 mins of exercise workout per day...sometimes, I do well and other days, I just fail when my vertigo acts up.

    Not sure what you guys call Cheezels in the US...here's a photo of my favourite junk food :lol:

    Hope that everyone is doing well <3 Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe <3

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😍

    I have been stressed out, homeschooling started again as our Premier has enacted our State as a State of Disaster to enforced covid 19 restrictions. So, we are back to Stage 3 and Metro is up to Stage 4. The whole State must wear masks now. It has been hectic and stressful. With my vertigo acting up doesn't help either.

    Just wanted to drop by to say Hi.

    Better sleep now as its 2.11am now.

    Take care and hugs to all💖❤️😘😴

    Just got myself a little mini exercise bike which I can place under my table at work. It quite a neat little thing as it has a counter to tell you your count, time, calories and RPM. Even though its just a rough guide, its still good :) Hopefully, I can clock in at least 1 hour of cycling per day... fingers cross! :)

    I know that some people will say that a mini exercise bike (desk cycle or a peddler bike) doesn't really work. Oh well, to me, any exercise is better than sitting at my desk at work from 11am - 8pm. Only when there's customers, I will get up and serves them. So, I just figured that if I just sit at my desk doing nothing, I won't be burning much calories. However, if I peddle whenever I can at my desk (hopefully 1 hour per day at least), I may burn an extra of 100 calories per day and since I work 5 days a week, that would be an extra of 500 calories. Then in the evening, I can still do my zumba. That should work, right? Fingers cross!!!
