    I’ve gained weight. 😫

    We all did but there's most definitely time to lose it all! :)

    Thanks! I feel like I don’t really know how to do it. Maybe that’s a cop out.

    Its actually been pretty good for me, funnily enough. At the start of the pandemic I was at 284, then when I had all of this spare time after my work shutting down I started exercising more, which led to dieting and now I'm at 244. I've also read about 20 books, which is rather expensive with the local library still closed lol

    THE BAD:
    I've been working from home since March.
    My company is furloughing and laying people off (not me yet).
    My husband is now unemployed.
    I don't see my friends in person anymore.
    I rarely see my family, only with masks and distancing.
    My husband is the only person I've hugged since March (not that I'm a big hugger, but still).
    I have to shop/cook for 3 meals a day, 7 days a week (normally hubby and I are at work for a lot of meals).
    Grocery budget has gone WAY up.
    No vacations this year, not even a little road trip.

    THE GOOD:
    I've completed a few house projects that were bugging me.
    I've been able to maintain my weight.
    My husband and I have NEVER spent this much time together (some days, that could go in the BAD column!).
    I'm spending a LOT less money on gas since I'm not commuting 2 hours a day.
    Putting fewer miles on my car.
    Not spending any money on makeup, hair products, or work clothes.
