18th March:
Managed full day #1 of lockdown.
Did 20 minutes low impact aerobics with a Rosemary Conley DVD. It's harder to get the steps right off a screen than it is in real classes. Still, I'll keep practising, I have all the time in the world.
Managed 30-odd minutes walking to and from the shops. Shelves are largely re-stocked. Police are patrolling and checking. My partner was one of 21 local people who was fined as he'd gone out with the wrong paper, knowing it was wrong, and interfered with the police arresting some drunks. He thinks he can be clever and just go out and walk as usual. I got his son to call him from London and put him straight as he was not listening to me.
Calories: Yes, stayed under. I've got plenty of healthy food in the house and loads of time to create nice meals.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
My 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle is progressing, so is my knitting. It's jolly boring, but if it works and stops people dying ...

My office is still functioning as things quietly shut down. Driving home at the prime traffic time was disconcerting. The traffic load was scant, like an evening time. I am in the fragile cohort of seniors with respiratory disease. Nonetheless, I do not see how our world economies can tolerate being brought to a shut down.
The best news of the day was that more medical research teams are reporting success in stopping Covid-19 with certain existing medications. This article adds to the good news that @craigo3154 shared with us a couple of days ago.

@am_change Thanks for the great graphic, reminding us to take one step at a time
@RangerRickL I agree, I don't see how we can continue with the world economies being shut down -- that concerns me greatly
@Chinkiri Sending support to you about the lockdown. We have a lot of restrictions here (all the restaurants/cafes are closed except drive-through takeout, hard for me because I like to work in cafes) -- but we're free so far to walk where we want, although we're discouraged from taking part in gatherings of more than 10 people. Know that we all support you.3 -
@Hollis100 Thank you for that support. This does feel lonely!3

Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 !
I used to worry about sooo many things about how to lose weight, then when I got to maintnance, weight creep or breaking a plateaus. I can fill this page.
The KISS method stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. lol
Basically, I focus on the 3 principles here we already know. Track everything accurately (even when I splurge), be honest, stay in the budget and move every day. I make a distinction between activity and formal exercise. I make sure that I "earn" my activity everyday. I don’t eat my activity calories but I eat some of my exercise. When I kept the nutrition healthy and listened to the body, it's as if the body knew what to eat for the tasks that I have to do and the macros fell where they should. Also, I’ve been doing this for a long time and I have learned that comfort is the key. "This is a marathon and not a sprint." I eat when I am hungry and I don’t allow myself to get too hungry or starve because it is usually counterproductive to the overall plan.
Take care and good luck on your journey!MadisonMolly2017 wrote: »
