    Last day of March. I have worked out every day (thank goodness for well-equipped home gym!) except 1, during these “Stay at Home” and social distancing recommendations.

    I am tape-measuring every Thursday. I will update you on that success (or lack thereof) on Thursday!

    My appetite was well-controlled for the first ten days, but crappy the next 5- or 6- days. I began anew, yesterday, to limit my portions, etc.

    I did track my Late Night Snacking. 23 nights I did not LNS and 7 nights I did. Not terrible....considering it usually is about 50/50.

    I am pleased with my March performance - I kept LNS to single-digits!

    And I enter April with this:

    Streak +2

    Yay!!

    Hey kids, hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

    I am navigating my way through workouts at home.

    In closing, take nothing for granted, be grateful always.

    You got that right, caramel!

    Where I live, we have (at least) twelve more weeks of physical-distancing and “stay home” living. I do get my workouts in every day and now that the warm spring has arrived, I can walk around the block a few times (minimum 6 ft apart from any other human who isn’t in my household), too.

    I'm struggling with motivation to workout at home. Just walking into the gym always energizes me for a workout. The recliner - not so much. Obviously, I'm going to have to change that mindset. I will be a puny human when this is over if I don't start working out at home. Thanks for the inspiration, y'all!

    I am exactly the same, with one exception: I not be a puny human. Just the opposite: I'm already noticing my pants are a tad snugger around the waist.

    Like most, I'm having to focus harder on staying the course in prep for racing. Having a coach helps me, as does being able to continue riding and running as I would normally. Dryland swim training....not so much. And I do miss the gym days.

    Forecast is for ok weather around here this weekend, so my bike will come off the trainer for an outdoor ride. Yes!!

    Steve,

    I feel you about motivation trying to workout at home. I know my family is sick of me. I feel like an animal trapped in a zoo.

    There is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Well I had to do something to not drive my self totally nuts. Found a really good mask and took a run in it.

    I've already been told I look like a fighter in Mortal Kombat, Darth Vader's daughter and my favorite Lady K.

    Laugh away at my creativity.

    Love that look, Kym! You may start a new fashion trend. Good on 'ya for finding a way and the motivation to work out.

    The local golf courses are closed, so I took the dog there for a couple of long walks this weekend. Hills and varied terrain and there is no traffic, so I can let her roam off the lead. I walked her there in the past, but I had to avoid the golfers.

    Hey Everyone! My name is Pat. Nickname is Ninja so I’m really digging that mask in the post above me 👆🏻 totally badass. I spent my day playing in the dirt. I figure if we are living in the pre-walking dead era I need to learn how to grow my own veggies 🤷‍♀️lol

    7 days and 7 nights into April.

    I have worked out every day. Alternating weight-training days and cardio days.

    My natural waist is down 1/2”, but my belly-button waist has not budged and my hips have not budged. There is still many inches to lose!

    I have no idea what I weigh....I am going by the tape measure throughout the Pandemic.
