Exercise? Yes, a 28 minute walk.
Logged? Yes.
Under? No.
I had been under calories all week, and was hungrier than normal. (It was weigh-in day and I lost 3 pounds, so yeah). I also woke up at 2:30 in the morning, back to bed around 6:30, up again at 10. Those types of days I usually throw in the towel, but I was fine. Went for my walk as usual. But I was still hungry. Ate well, but not necessarily high volume, low calorie foods. At 7:30 pm, with only 110 calories left, I didn't want to risk waking up again in the night because I was hungry, so I ate some more. Thoughtfully, and I logged it, so not a "free for all" but I ended up 564 over, which I guess would still be roughly in maintenance, and I am still well under for the week.
Three Pass Days used. If I don't make the Winner's Circle I will be fine.....I am down 11 pounds since April 4th, so there is my real win!6 -

Exercise: Yes, 35 mins walk. We have curfew from 23rd to 26th because of a holiday- Ramadan eid. People visit all their relatives during this holiday but because of pandemic it is prohibited. You can only go out to do grocery shopping in your neighborhood. I picked farthest grocery shop and walked back home with shopping bags with using a far route. This is how I did my exercise

Stayed under by 50 (eating back exercise calories).
Made enchiladas which were delicious.
I've started using my Fitbit watch to directly start an exercise when doing calisthenics workouts which I think leads to a more accurate calorie count than logging it afterwards in the app. I'm sure whether to use weights or workout for calisthenics but went with workout since it's more general.4 -
Took a pass day. I didn’t log anything, did exercise, and came way under goal. I just took a much needed down day. 🤷♀️4

A few more types of stores are starting to open up in a limited "controled-traffic" way or else re-opening but for curbside pickup or pick-up-and-leave. To be allowed to open, the retail location must have its own to-the-curb access. Strip malls but not enclosed malls. Places like car dealerships by appointment only - that kind of thing.
Non-medical masks are currently recommended for all situations where social distancing may be problematic (eg not necessarily for walk if in a wide-open setting (lots of room to pass and not many people anyway - but do if in more congested city streets / lineups / in stores)
I live and work in a historic town. On the way home tonight, I passed a ghost tour that must have had 50 people in the group, nobody wearing masks, all standing next to each other, no social distancing. I also saw people on benches outside the bars, no masks, right next to each other. A lot of people just don't care and laugh it off. If one is sick that person will pass it on to many, many more. [/quote]
The mask recommendation only came out three or four days ago, and is precisely BECAUSE things are beginning to open up more.
The potential for what you are mentioning scares DH (on my account) which is why he is THRILLED to hear that my post will continue to be work-from-home potentially "almost indefinitely". Work in my sector (federal public service) is finally waking up to the fact that "work is what you do, not where you go" and that far more categories of business lines can be successfully done by distributed teams working offsite than originally willing to admit.
The opening process is bound to vary from country to country, and even jurisdiction to jurisdiction within parts of the same country. I feel very fortunate to be living in Canada, where the national approach is science-led and the reopening will be slowly staged, with the understanding that there with be at least 2 to 3 weeks between "next stage" and if the numbers don't remain below a predetermined threshold acceptable level, then either the next stage doesn't start yet or we revert a bit.

@HASWLRS I agree on auto-recognize. Even though it will add my walk later, I like the greater detail it gives me when I track via the watch. And for biking if I rely on auto-track it will give me a bunch of steps and think I'm walking part of the time which just feels inaccurate so I like to actively track.2 -
