I am one that doesn't post too often, but that is the introvert in my. I have not had any chance of course, to get to the gym, so I have been trying to get out and walk as much as possible. Walking is still allowed here as long as you keep your distance which most people are doing. It is kind of funny seeing everyone cross the road when you get close. They think you are a zombie
.
My diet has also been terrible, too much access to food around the house. That combine with loss of excercise and my normal walks to and from work has hurt me on the scale badly. That and the stress of needing to get a new roof, but can't because they are not allowed to install

Hey everyone! Sorry to have been incommunicado. My mom has been stranded here since March 10. She flew down for a visit just before it became a crazy idea. The good news is that she is not quarantined all alone and I have someone to take long walks with every day. I have had to slow down a little bit, but I am whipping her into shape and she is doing awesome for an 82 year old, or frankly for a 60 year old! I am lucky because the weather has been good and I can walk. We also have exercise equipment and weights. I wish my kids weren't stressed, but they do at least realize that their stress is the stress of someone who is really lucky...
So far I have been avoiding making far too many desserts (sticking to just many desserts) although I have succumbed to making far too much bread...and eating it. Luckily we took a break on the bread for a week for Passover. Hope you are all managing to survive quarantine. Thanks to all the doctors, nurses, grocery store/ pharmacy workers and all those providing essential services!

P.S. I'm getting more hair....but I think I can hold off on a haircut for a while yet!

Made a horrible discovery this week when I picked up my grocery order at Kroger. They were out of the bag of chips I'd requested and they substituted the Kroger brand. It's the Lightly Salted Wavy chips (instead of Lay's brand of the same). It's not only yummy but cheaper...HORRIBLE discovery!
But on the brighter side, I read an article that advises not to beat yourself up too bad for your nutrition faux pas during the pandemic...as soon as our routines allow for more activity, our better habits will return and the small gains will go away. So just try your best and that's all we can do. Try to stay as active as you can and that will help to offset.
SPEAKING OF WHICH...if you haven't already looked into it...Saturday, May 2nd is the Virtual 5K and it's coming up soon. I already have a team set up called Fun and Fit Team and the event is sponsored by Prevention Magazine. It's free to sign up (unless you want the tshirt) and I'd love to have more company. Join me, right where you are...you can walk outside, in place, inside, treadmill, around the block, etc. I'm looking forward to it. Runs that day from 8am ET to 8pm. If you signed up, please give me a shout out so I know who's walking with me. I posted the link earlier...let me know if you can't find it, but I'm sure a google search will produce it and you have the team name...SIGN UP!!! WALK WITH ME!

This made me laugh 😂. If I have something unhealthy that I enjoy, I too try to find the cheaper, yuckier version. This way I don’t want to indulge as much. Sorry yours didn’t work out.1 -

I have about 6 pounds to goal and they are being very stubborn, not wanting to leave. I’m going to increase my activity this week to encourage them to take a hike.3 -

Hi Jess, I joined earlier. I'm Rose on the list. I will most likely do Leslie Sansone walks to substitute for an outdoor walk.1 -

Hey Rose @Arc130 :
I knew you were already signed up, but I'm still trying to get a few more to walk with us too!

Sorry, posting Sunday’s info late. It’s been a tough month. My mom health continues to decline and she was recently moved to hospice. it’s been hard to stay focused on healthy changes. I find myself stress eating more often and not making good choices but I am trying to track everything & exercise at least a few times a week. Hopefully, I don’t detour too much but weight definitely impacted this last week.

Hey @ac204 ...my heart goes out to you for what you're going through. I was my mother's only caregiver for the last 16 years of her life when she suffered several strokes and because of that, dementia...the last four months she had to go into round-the-clock care in a rest home because it was too much for me to handle and my own health was starting to suffer. Please take care of yourself and allow others to help you if you have other family or friends to lean on. Hold tight to these last visits, as they're precious. I'll be praying that her suffering is minimal and that God gives you and your family peace and wraps His arms around you. It's so hard to handle...I remember it well, even though it was 9 years ago. I lost her in 2011. Let me know if you need someone to chat with...
Be safe and well, especially during this difficult time.
Jessica
