All signed up for April!3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 300 minutes -- a dog walk, a walk for myself, and pitching in with other employees for several hours to help disinfect the public areas of my workplace because of the coronavirus. I'm wiped out.

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

Prayers to all who are struggling.
I have a 102 F temp but I was able to feel better between fever spikes to get a 20 minute easy walk.
I tracked everything and I am way below budget.
No passes used so far.
Have a successful day tomorrow all!
@nodm So sorry you're still sick. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you @Hollis100
Day 2 and temp still at 102. I was thinking today that even if it was COVID it is treated conservatively like the flu anyway and I am comforted by data that we have a much more chance of recovering from COVID than dying from it and critical illness is at 5%. The overall case fatality rate was 2.3 percent and no deaths were reported among noncritical cases. So I’m going to stay home and stay away from everyone as recommended to prevent a spike, RELAX and Wait it out. I think that through all this we have learned the importance of washing hands and social distancing when we come down with the flu. I know that the news is overdone and it is making everybody nuts but I have a feeling that we’re going to be ok. IMHO.
Stay safe everyone!Prayers to all who are struggling.

As long as I can stay busy i can stay on track. Reporting here is of course is key.
I have a tendency to overdo it to keep stress at bay. Although the house wasn't even dirty today I have cleaned every corner and underneath everything. Deep cleaned the floors. Polished every piece of wood furniture..you know with the good stuff that takes forever.... I changed out the curtains. Scrubbed 2 bathrooms. 3 loads of clothes. Started putting away my winter clothes. Organized my office...I'm sure I could go on.
My point with this is..this makes me feel in control. Probably not what most people do but it is me.it is how I deal with things. I keep telling myself that all I can do is to stay put. If I have to absolutly go out I use mega precautions. I have to be careful since I have a compromised immune system because of the anti rejection meds I have to take. However I feel positive. The things I can't control are just that beyond my control. That's just my 2 cents worth
The weather person says we will be in the 70's by the end of the week and I will be out working in the yard and walking outside.
You guys keep safe and be careful.

My eldest turns 20 tomorrow.
Do you have any advice for my son? What would you tell your 20 yr old self?
I am about to bake his birthday cakes, but will decorate tomorrow. My sleep habits are a bit out of whack...so I am very rested...or wouldn't start this at midnight.
I agree with everyone who stated turning off the news was a good step towards stress reduction.
In my community, we will begin the official "stay at home" order at midnight tomorrow night - though we have been social distancing for awhile.4 -

Oh my goodness...take time to just rest....that fever is telling you something.... hoping you feel better soon. Remember to begin hot liquids often, go ahead and begin the expectorant at the first sign of a slight cough. Best wishes for your recovery.3 -

Thanks so much @dsgoingtodoit
That’s what I’m going to do. Thanks for the advice. I’m going to continue to rest and drink lots of fluids and eat low salt chicken noodle soup, tea! And stay away from nona. 👵
But I’m getting stir crazy 😜

I would tell him to take time to smell the roses and enjoy life each step of the way. There is more to life than making it go faster.
Congrats!

Big virtual hug everyone...
I too will not make it to the winners circle but am glad we're still hanging on in here, need some normality in our lives, thank you @RangerRickL and everybody!

Exercise :37 minute walk (toooooooooo many online meetings to run today)
Feeding 1350+110-1453 = 7 (just made it)
Tracked : think I got everything
Yesterday was a pass day: volunteering usually means junk to eat -- But that's not the point. If I was a better person I'd ensure nutrition for all the volunteers including myself. Yet another action to strive for.4 -

I would tell your son, and my 20 year old self, to be yourself in life. That means to search your heart (and head) and pursue your own dreams and goals, not what other people want you to do. I would also say realize it's okay to make mistakes (that's how we learn) and change your mind, including over big things. Remember who you are in life.
I hope your son has a wonderful birthday!

Haven't exercised in days.
Paranoia sets in.
Don't feel that great.
Looking at the symptom chart with a paranoid regularity.
My niece wants to get married in June.
I don't want to think about driving for two days to go there.
I don't even want to get on an airplane.
Buddy is always an uptick to my spirit.
His vocabulary consists of laughter. Sometimes hysterical laughter.
He likes grabbing my head and and pulling it to his chest.
Seems like affection but it is bit like wrastling. He laughs.
He grabs my ears.
I got to somehow teach him that isn't a legal wrestling hold.
Dang fingernails. He scratches my ears when he grabs.
I will never stop him from doing that though.
Funny that.
I been getting back into music. Dusting off my old guitar tunes, Sor studies etc.
That's an uptick
I ain't got a lot of debt. Any really. Stock market kind of doesn't matter to me.
That is an uptick.
Ugh. I got to get my exercise mojo back.
Working in the yard. That ain't all bad.
Not too far gone with diet but ain't been tracking. Got to get that back
Haven't had alcohol for a few days. That is an uptick.5 -
Yes x3
Took a walk during my husband's lunch break.
I'm enjoying having my activity level down to not very active. It's more accurate given my new work circumstances (being a teacher vs distance learning from home) so my Fitbit calorie adjustments at no longer way out of whack. Instead I start with a lower calorie allotment and keep even if I move a bit each hour or gain some if I go on a longer walk.1 -
I will not be in the winner's circle this month. I recorded most intake but not all. I know I am not that far over, but I am over. Managed to get over 60 minutes of activity in. Fourth pass day this month. It's all good, tomorrow is another day.
Rest of the month is "Training camp for the April Winners Circle" !1 -

You guys keep safe and be careful.
Whatever makes an individual feel in control of what they CAN control is EXACTLY what they should be doing right now. The details will differ from personality to personality, but the head-space is still the same.
Just steer clear of "might take me or loved one to Emergency for NON covid reasons" behaviour.
For example:- Use a stepladder to reach high places, not stretching while on a chair ... particularly a wheely-chair ....
- Hide DH's power-tools if you have to!
- (you see, after nearly 32 years of marriage I KNOOOOW what unsupervised McC males have a habit of getting up to ..... )
