WEIGHT NO MORE Team Chat - March 2020

Saturday 3/28
Food: on track
Water: 48 oz
Exercise: 15 minutes low intensity bodyweight exercise, 30 minutes high intensity fitness on demand video, 15 minute walk with a couple of neighbors, 30 minute walk with another neighbor

I didn't do anything with my day today, except exercise, reading and talking to people to check up on them. For some reason I had no motivation to do anything today.

I got a text from my boss last night saying they might be starting a partial shift sometime next week. it would be 1st shift hours and they're going to pay time and a half, which tells me they know it's high risk for us to do it. It's on a voluntary basis so I don't have to do it. I've thought a lot about it and don't feel at all comfortable with it so I'm not going to do it. I was talking to some of my neighbors about it and one immediately said not to do it, especially because of my health history. Because he said that makes me feel better about my decision not to do it.

Check in (What's he up to this time?)
Mom had a really encouraging check up, but it will still be 3ish more weeks in the splint. Good to see the Dr. offices are being mostly proactive about slowing the spread of the virus. Both mother and I had temps taken outside by a highly protected young lady and were asked several questions including have you traveled outside the State in the last 24 hours.....
Mother and I were both wearing masks and latex gloves (here comes the problem) When the Dr. assistant checked us in, he looked right at me and said snarkily, are you wearing those for your protection or mine? So in a calm but stern voice I replied to his question.......
Well since you are not wearing any form of PPE working in a doctors office and coming into contact with I can only guess hundreds of potential carriers, then we must be wearing them for our protection. I'm pretty sure I saw fear in his soul as a small tear ran down the side of his unprotected cheek..... And then I stuck my tongue out at him and Mom made a funny face, but I don't think he noticed.............

The Doctor on the other hand was a total sweetheart, and she was dressed for success! Gloves, Mask, protective suit and footy covers. She was a "Rock Star"

Everyone keep up the good fight, and remember always that this too shall pass!

P.S. We are both sticking our tongues out right now!! lol

Sorry I'm late with this. I had been so unproductive for the past two weeks and then got into a groove building the new website for the launch of my new company and stayed focussed on that.

Username: theresamcvean1
Weigh in Week: week 4
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous weight: 154.5
Today's weight: 155.6

I'm not surprised and hope I can get my equilibrium back soon. I signed up for the free month free trial on Peleton. I'm coming around in some other areas of life. I'm sure I'll find my footing and get back on the right track soon.

Hope you are all well. Tomorrow morning, I'll catch up on your posts of the last few days and say hello. Big hugs.

@phoebe112476 I am blown away by your courage and strength. You probably don't feel courageous and strong, just that you are doing all the things that need doing, but you are keeping a lot of people protected and loved. I think it must be your name! My daughter is a Phoebe as well, and she is also made of seriously strong stuff. The hardest thing right now is that you can't easily ask for help. But everyone here, and many others I am sure, will do anything we can to keep up your spirits, remind you to sit down and take 5 deep breaths a few times a day, and let you know that you are amazing.
