March 25
Exercised: Yes (7.5 km walk in 63 mins - hills)
Tracked: Yes
Budget: Yes
Earlier walk, but longer, more challenging one.
Lots of phone conferences today with mental health for daughter. She is able to get a week in mental health respite care from Friday. Hopefully this will give her more skills to cope with her current mental health condition. And also give my wife a break too.

Already done ( I turned out to be "top of the list" - just checked back and plenty others already answered you call)
Keep those testimonials mounting, gang!3 -
That's great news @craigo3154
I'm all set for April thanks as always @RangerRickL for keeping us going and sorry I went awol (again) for a few days.
Pass.Here in the UK we're allowed out for exercise once a day at the moment. It was the most beautiful blue skied day although my walk was a very surreal experience. We're advised to keep 2m away from each other so people sort of jump off the path as they get close to each other. Most flights are down now - I only saw 2 planes in the sky the whole time. I'm close to London so that's rare. The football (soccer) field and skate park were empty on this glorious sunny day and thankfully the kids play area is now shut with tape and a sign as it's been hard trying to explain to my daughter why she hasn't been allowed on the swings and slides etc but other kids have.6 -
@am_change
You're welcome.I am in Florida which is believed to be the next hot spot since there is so much travel between New York and Florida. Cities are starting to implement shelter in place orders and I think it is just a matter of time for it to be ordered state-wide.
I have been self-isolating for 9 days now. I am fortunate to work for a company who allows remote work so we were very well positioned to begin immediately. The company resells computer equipment and technology for companies with 2,000 employees+. Since this started last Tuesday here in the US we have been extremely busy at work. It really is hard to believe in this day and age employers are not more flexible for "desk" workers.
Hang in there. We are all in the same boat. In order to shift my mindset I have been writing down at least 3 things for which I am grateful for every morning. These things do not have to be deep: this morning it was my coffee, the support of the MFP community, and the memories of lost loved ones.7 -

Exercised? Yes, did Cathe Drill Max DVD
Log? Yes
Under calories? Yes1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - I did Yoga With Adriene on YouTube.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes,and I even ate cookies.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - more that 20 minutes exergame plus walk with DH for fresh air and sunshine for 25 or so minutes before supper
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, very nice fitbit-calorie buffer (which will probably increase slightly before I close the diary tomorrow morning, just from two more hours of quiet-metabolic burn)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?Absatively posalootly.
S I G H the little 7 cb ft freezer that was SUPPOSED to arrive today is on back-order and is delayed. On the up-side, my new Wii controller mat is still due to be delivered by Amazon tomorrow last time I checked, which will widen my exercise-at-home options. Gotta love those exergames.Province of Ontario Canada has declared "state of emergency" and so has my municipality. Province has widened scope of non-essential business closings. All are still on voluntary social distancing in all other respects here; the declaration merely puts in place the OPTION for municipality to be able to invoke "ramp up to shelter in place status quickly if / when necessary." I expect eventually it will become "when" before all is said and done. But not immanent here yet. Some other parts of the country more likely sooner.
I have been working from home for a week and a half now. That won't change no matter how long this goes on because of the sector I am lucky enough to be employed in. Only son (lives in same town) works in a different part of the same sector, so lucky in that respect too.
Fortunately, I happen to have the kind of personality and we as a couple happen to have a long-standing habitual lifestyle routine where this stay-close-to-home lifestyle isn't a strain or all that different from "normal for us". Just as well, as I have low-level chronic underlying respiratory issues so have to be wise and careful. DH is by nature protective and therefore also being very wise and very careful to avoid potentially transporting it in to me. Our neighborhood from what I see, and our whole city from what I hear, is very much tending to behave responsibly

@nodm Glad you're feeling a little better. That's still a high fever to me, but it looks like it's coming down
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 280 minutes (!!!) -- a dog walk, a longer walk for myself, and once again 2.5 hours pitching in with other employees to disinfect the public areas of my workplace. Exhausted now and drinking half of a Starbucks frappuccino to celebrate being at home.

At least the daily-change-subthread format of UAC can help with that! .... maybe star only two or three days in a row, and every day remove the star from the earliest after you post?

Exercise, Calories, Tracked > Did not manage all three but still had an overall healthy day.
Stay healthy!2 -
Thank you @Hollis100
Usually I get rid of this after a few days but it has only been three days and the fever is coming down. I was thinking of going for COVID but I think I’ll wait and save the test for someone who really needs it.
Today 100.2-100.7
Take care and stay safe in all you are doing for your community!@nodm Glad you're feeling a little better. That's still a high fever to me, but it looks like it's coming down

Been a little overwhelming at work. I'm closing all the rings, but omitting VR workouts because I'm just wiped out by the time I get home.2
