    @Jpedno hope you recover from Covid soon and your husband doesn’t come down with it.

    @tahm42 that is an awesome amount of lean mass. Your functional muscle(appian score) must be incredible!

    @Beautyofdreams Could not find that score in my results But had a RSMI Relative skeletal muscle index score 7.97kg/m squared. They never have things uniform but, yes my muscle mass is more like a mans. I knew that, because I was always built more like a Darci doll than Barbie. Amazons and American Gladiators were my role models. She hulk was my alter ego. I have never lacked strength. Now to retain what I got and lose fat.

    Didn't sleep great last night, headache, snotty... Woke up this morning and took a covid rapid test.... And it's positive. UGH. I had a team lunch with colleagues yesterday so I likely exposed them and my husband is immunocompromised so I'm trying to isolate in the house. I thought that I had gotten by this long without getting sick that maybe I never would -- wrong! No clue where I got it. I'm double vaccinated and still wear masks indoors.
    Probably will have a low step count today but yesterday was decent.

    I hope you have a quick recovery. Hopefully, your husband won’t get it.

    No pool today! I think I irritated my groin muscle again. It was bothering me while doing laps yesterday and kept me awake last night. I haven’t had a rest day since February 25th so maybe my body is telling me to relax.

    @lindamtuck2018 - There's a pretty good chance I may not be able to weigh in next Monday as I'll be on vacation and not sure I'll have access to a scale so please mark me as a skip or no change.

    Thanks!

    Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Today is another crazy day for me - and I have to drive up to DC for a funeral - but I'm planning to stay on plan with my calories. Daylight Savings has been really tough on my routine. It takes my body weeks to adjust and I keep oversleeping. Between that and my work schedule, I'm having trouble fitting in my exercise. Here's my check-in:

    3/16:
    Calories: 1,167
    Exercise: None
    Steps: 8,460

    I hope you all have a great day!!

    @Jpedno
    That’s great news on your husband. Both my granddaughters had it about 3 weeks apart. My daughter or my son-in-law didn’t get it. They both have their boosters. I was surprised one of them didn’t get it.

    @jimboden3
    I will mark you as excused.

    @Beautyofdreams
    I also have had several bouts of binge eating this week. After reading Cara’s check in, I am wonder If the time change is part of the reason.

    @peng123
    I am sorry for your loss. You continue to amaze me that you never stray even when your life gets crazy.

    My granddaughter came over last night and is here until Friday evening. I am taking her to the pool after lunch and I will do my water exercises. I am going to take it down a notch as my left groin muscle is still hurting. Yesterday I did no arm exercises so I missed one day for the challenge.

    3/15: 6,280 (Wow! I impressed myself)!

    Stayed under in calorie intake and upped my fitness with walking (basically). Adding some home workouts tonight.

    Meal prepping has helped me TREMENDOUSLY in this game. Hearing my husband tell me (you can tell you're losing weight). I can't see it, but I can definitely feel it.

    Happy Humpday everyone!

    This is a great check in. Glad you found a tool to help you with your journey.
