Thirsty Thursday - these are my morning drinks at work. Pink amino blend for recovery after my 5.30am gym session, I have found it helps to drink it through the morning. And the other bottle has iced coffee, my machine at home makes better coffee than the machines at work. My happy little Toy Story alien cup lives on my desk and the other side says "Stay Weird". Seems appropriate for work! And me, who am I kidding. I'm just a big kid at heart lol 🙃2 -
@sleepymom5 the rest of the day went fine. I may have had a small piece of cookie but that was very restrained for me. I was in bed by 8pm read my daugther a story until she fell asleep and then went to sleep myself. I woke up this morning really early because my coach had schedule a 1 hour hill session. However I could not get my brain and body together in time. It took me about half an hour to get my running kit on stretched, my app programmaed and out the door by which time I only had about 40 mins to work out. So I did the 40 min fartlek session he put on for me. That is right he schedule 2 runs totalling 1 hour and 40 mins. Tomorrow I have to run for 1hour 30 mins. I can't wait until I am done with this coach. He just doesn't seem to listen and hits me with unrealistic targets and then when I tell him he hasn't done it he just says oh well don't worry. I am like well it is it not important why have you scheduled it. You are setting me up to fail.3

Friday check in - steps 9046.
Calories, tracked and I am 99 over. I have also been several hundred under every day this week so I'm not sweating it.
Exercise - just 30 mins Elliptical this morning. Haven't felt particularly great this afternoon/evening so I decided to rest rather than do anything else. Just a bit migraine-ish, not full on but enough eye pain and nausea that I don't want to make it worse.
Watching the Corona Virus effect spreading... I think those of you not traveling made good decisions. But crazy how much effect this does have! Some big events are canceled here in NZ now, although we still just have the 5 known cases. Kids sports events are still going ahead, but no touching hands etc after the games - they've been touching elbows instead and all look like they're doing the chicken dance 🤣 Little kids would be funny, 15 year old boys makes it hilarious (I am such a good mother lol)
It's 10.40 pm Friday here. We have a bit of a drive north tomorrow morning for basketball, then I am hoping for a walk along the coast at some point. And we have to do the grocery shopping which will no doubt be complete madness, everyone is panic buying. Completely mental. But you know, we need to eat. The kids start complaining after a few days of feeding them grass and leaves. 😜 And teenage boys eat everything else that isn't nailed down!3 -

I am still feeling fine, just a little more tired in the evenings - Hard to believe anything is wrong inside my body. Biopsy is scheduled Monday afternoon, Thursday I will know what the plan is and I'm trying not to worry about it.
I agree with all of you about the crazy response to the coronavirus and how reactions are the same worldwide. If nothing else we should realize how people are the same everywhere.4 -
Watching the news this morning and there are now 4 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in West Michigan. Apparently they are in their 60's and are known travellers but none of them have severe symptoms so that's good.
The governor also ordered all the K-12 schools closed until April 6th. Not sure how that's going to work for families who have little kids and need daycare so mom and dad can still go to work. No businesses closed here yet. Waiting for that to be next.
At work by me, they've cancelled all of the company sponsored luncheons and told us we can't have any potlucks or get togethers until further notice. They're also having everyone wipe down the machines at the start of each shift. The circuit boards are made of fiberglass so the company has always provided gloves for us to wear so we don't get slivers. I'm guessing more people will start using them now.1 -

Good morning everyone, Weigh in day seems not as relevant when we are in the midst of a pandemic. I stopped counting calories 2 weeks ago and am making a daily plan and following a hunger scale. I am still making this a new habit. While my losses have been small, I am happily surprised that I have not gained. I am very curious to see where this takes me.
Onto pandemic news. Our PM’s wife has the virus and our PM is in self-isolation. She had travelled to London for a conference and fell ill the day she returned. I am happy that they are being transparent about it. They have suspended Parliament, but everybody, including the PM, is working remotely. It is likely that they will announce a travel ban today, and they have already asked all of us not to leave the country. Pretty much everything is cancelled. Cities are banning larger gatherings, religious services etc. The economic impact will be significant. I will just take a pause in my own part-time business, unless a client really needs something. My husband still has to go to the office, but he can work remotely a lot more. He is actually really busy helping clients with pandemic issues. The no school issue is really awful for everyone. We are lucky to have a teen who can help out. He is going to do some babysitting for kids in the neighbourhood and I will likely babysit some of my younger son’s friends through this time. I am going to take the weekend to plot out some structure for everyone, including some daily exercise. My older son has some school assignments to work on, and I will pull some curriculum worksheets from the internet so that my younger son keeps learning. I am worried about my mom, but she is a smart lady, who pretty much went into self-isolation weeks ago. She was a child in WW2 Europe, so her house is always stocked up with food and supplies. To end on a lighter note, one of our nation’s toilet paper makers made front page news by saying there is plenty of toilet paper to go around and they are manufacturing plenty more. So toilet paper was the front page headline!
I hope that you are all managing ok. I find anxiety creeping in here and there, and I am doing my best to stay focused and calm. Being part of this team and our F2F family is comforting right now.
@tryingagain5 - Everything you describe is so familiar. Hope that you are doing ok at work and able to keep up your fitness routine.
@pacsnc6 - Hope that the biopsy goes well and that you get the best news possible from it. Nice loss there and just keep us posted on how you are doing. Take care and big hug!
@rosieposiesrl - That is not a very large gain, and glad that you had an enjoyable week. Happy meal planning!
@amsandos - Glad that you had a better day yesterday. Is there any way to change coaches now?
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - I love that toy story mug!
@Freeglerock - I love your mug! I am up at 6:30 too (sometimes 6 am if needed) and it is a mad dash to get everyone out the door. My brain just does not function well at that time, even after 7 or 8 hours sleep. I do as much as I can the night before so I don’t forget anything in the morning, which has been known to happen!

Ugh! I can't say I am too surprised. I need to get focused. I have to run. My daughters and I are taking all the dogs for a walk. I will try to get a picture but they usually aren't cooperative. Lol! Hope everyone has a good day and stays well xoxo
I was hoping to share my pics for the photo challenge but sometimes they just don't come down from the cloud to my computer right away. I will check again later this afternoon. Hopefully they will be there.
@freeglerock What an awesome mug! I love the sassy flamingos! Lol!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx I love that mug too! I would love to get that for Shannon. I am sure it was in your best interest not to exercise last night. You did get a good elliptical session in earlier. I am sure you are so intune with your body at this point that you know what to do. It is funny how it seems like all over the world, the general public seems to be reacting the same way with buying out the grocery stores. Everything is gone here, hopefully you get stocked up when you go.
@amsandos I thought you were getting a new trainer. I agree, if he is setting unrealistic goals or doesn't seem interested in helping you, you should find one who does. Mine seemed to push me a little more than I would have done but didn't push me too much that I would get discourage and not want to go. Glad the rest of your day went well and you got to get to bed early. That reading used to put me asleep before my kids lol!
@rosieposiesrl I am glad you had a good week!
@pacsnc6 Nice loss! Thinking of you, I know this is a difficult time xo
@tryingagain5 All the precautions are necessary but there are so many hardships that come with them. I know businesses will lose money, people won't get paid, along like you said, childcare and many other things. I do think this is necessary to slow the spread so I don't know what the answers are. I just can't believe this is happening.
@Cafelelia I wouldn't mind being in isolation with your PM
He's so handsome! Lol! I am so happy that we both canceled our trip. I was going to try to wait and see but this isn't going to get better any time soon.
@lennoncpa Nice loss! You are having a good tax season as far as losing weight lol!3 -

@sleepymom5
@Cafelelia
I agree that limiting the spread is definitely a good idea. I don't understand the hoarding of toilet paper, however. I'm planning on going to the store soon, not to hoard anything, but I haven't been for a while so it's time. I don't like to shop and that includes grocery shopping.
I don't think my company will close but that remains to be seen. If the governor mandates it there will be choice. I do have some savings so if necessary I could live off that for a couple of weeks but I can't go indefinitely without a paycheck like most people can't. Also, if necessary I'm sure my dad would help me out. I'm more concerned about those without savings or any help, how would they buy groceries, pay the rent, mortgage, etc.
My nutrition classes next week have been cancelled, along with my Wednesday walking group. (We walk at a couple local schools during the winter and since they're now closed that makes sense)As far as I know the gym will remain open so I can still go there. They normally keep it very clean and I'm sure now they will be doubling those efforts.
I haven't heard anything about my church's Sunday service yet, so I assume that is still on. We are also supposed to have a church sale next Saturday. It happens every March. I'm wondering if that will be postponed until a later date.
That's nice of your older son to help out with the other kids and to do whatever else he can do to help.
I'm not so concerned about me but those that are older, like my dad, he's 85 and has a few medical issues but is relatively healthy. Also, for those who already are immune compromised. I also don't want to unknowingly pass anything on to these folks (or anyone else for that matter)
Stay safe everyone! Still continue exercising and eating healthy (at least most of the time) At least doing the best we can since I know I struggle too. Now is probably the best time to double up on our efforts at health.

@Cafelelia lol, yes I did mean 205.6 🤣:
Now that could have been rather a large gain 🤣 xx1 -
I did go to my local Aldi. It's normally busy on Friday but it was a zoo today. There was no bread, toilet paper or meat to be had. Those shelves were bare. The positive part is that the shoppers and stores clerks were all very helpful, friendly and patient.😁 Hopefully that good part continues.3

Thursday 3/12
Food: over
Water: 40 oz
Exercise: 15 minute walk around my condo complex.
The weather was nice here yesterday. Sun was shining but it was very windy.1 -
Friday 3/13
Food: under
Water: 40 oz
Exercise: none
It was sunny here again today but incredibly windy, which made it feel much colder than the actual temperature.
I got an email that my church service is cancelled for this Sunday and they will let us know after that. My church is small, maybe 100 to 150 people. The email also said that the sale next week has been postponed until May.

Just got back from Basketball where the boys won 70 - 40 and grocery shopping where I literally saw a family and their cart contained nothing but boxes of canned energy drink and packets of toilet paper. *You can't make this stuff up* It was insane in there. Still stock on the shelves, but notices limiting quantities of everything. And so many people. All of them. All in the one place. Not gonna lie, it made me a bit stabby. I hate when people just stop in front of me and block the aisle for no reason, no apology, just cut me off and stop. No courtesy going on at all in this country!
However, sun is shining here, so I'm going to have some lunch and then head down to the beach for a walk. 🙂🙂5 -
Friday 3/13
Food: logged and under
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 45 min walk, PT, stretching and strength
It was a beautiful day today. It was so nice to get outside for a walk. I am getting so sucked into this coronavirus new coverage. Things change so quickly. I really need to get some stuff done around the house but at least I did well with eating, water and my exercise.
I still can't post my pictures! I am going to try again tomorrow.
@hope002 Goodbye 180s!! Nice loss!
@tryingagain5 I don't understand the hoarding either. Our stores are empty. It seems to be happening everywhere. I know it is a hardship on many people. I don't know what the answer is. I hope everyone follows the precautions so we can get through this. Hopefully this will be over soon. Stay well! xo
@Fi45 Hope all is going well with you
@Cafelelia Lol! Love that Gif! I could say the same!
@lennoncpa Lol! Love it! Hope you are doing well!
@GingerPwr Awesome stepping!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx It is so crazy here too. There is pretty much nothing that we want left on the shelves. I really don't understand the hoarding either. Sadly I think people are rude all over, not just by you. Hope you had a nice walk. What a nice way to end a busy morning.2 -

Great week staying in calorie range and exercising even though a small gain.
NSV: I have dropped inches from waist, hips, and thighs so good things are happening. Size 4’s are baggy. No matter what the scale may say, I am a happy camper!!!
I will definitely continue with the kettlebells; May be dropping fat and toning up some muscle.
Have a great weekend!!2
