    @Beka3695 I feel the same about the PM here. I actually think travel should have been banned two weeks ago.

    We got a State of Emergency issued for the province - which is like a state to my American friends lol - yesterday here. Restaurants are open but you cannot eat in, take out or drive thru only. Public venues cannot exceed 50 people. Non-essential travel out of province is prohibited. Schools are closed and publicly funded places. It's like nothing I've seen in my lifetime.

    Let's hope this whole thing gets under control as soon as possible. I've been having fruit smoothies to boost my immune system lol. Stay healthy and positive and don't let the media get you down. We will get through this!

    WOW!

    Enjoy your green/yellow haze. We are deep in it here, too. I made the mistake of using chapstick. Now my lips feel sandy.

    Yes, we will soon be in the season of “The Pollening”. When I mop the floors the mop turns greenish-yellow!

    Yes, we have the exact meme for Texas! 😂 And we are at the exact same spot. When I get up in the morning I’m never sure if I need a coat or shorts but we did turn on our fireplace yesterday!

    Honestly I thought it was way worse. This is technically a gain over 2 very stressful weeks. Very little tracking and emotional eating. Game over! Back to the basics. Counting everything in and being creative with working out. I am not working, where I walk all day. So along with not going to the gym, I am losing that too. Daily walks are added. Anyone have any good online workouts they like?

    I am impressed by all the losses and for those that aren't that they know what didn't go so well and what they are going to do about it. Stick to it everyone.

    Great loss this week @cre804 and you are nailing this whole month @CharlesScott78

    Excellent work making an office @kilobykilo though I would take regular breaks from a temporary set up, my experience tells me your back doesn't thank you for it if you don't!

    A don't know about faking it @Beka3695 - didn't you say you were painting your nails? :D

    Total weight lost 75.6 lbs, 4.6 lbs beyond my initial goal.

    Ran a HM today for the 3rd week in succession, hurting a bit but starting to feel I can make this marathon thing work when we eventually have a race. Off to pick up my son from Uni later so 10 hours in a car, painful, though a price worth it to have both my little, erm... angels back.

    Firstly a big thanks to my fellow mods who stepped up in the metaphorical sense by entering everyone's steps whilst I was short on time, couldn't do this without you guys 🙏
    2020 Week 9
    71wwlad2cuy7.jpg

    Another week for Kate breaking the 100k steps barrier for this week. Our top 3 were;
    1st - @kilobykilo 102,363
    2nd - @suzyjmcd2 92,227
    3rd - @bigblues11 84,006

    Good steps all around with so much uncertainty. If we keep to our own goals and let other matters resolve themselves we will be in a great place when things get back to normal.

    Week 9 steps are due tomorrow and to complete those that will bring everything up to date are;
    @boehle 12th Mar to 14th Mar
    @iamworthy14 1st Mar to 14th Mar

    The themes are up for week 4 of the March challenge. The link is below and we start tomorrow!
    Most of us are at home a lot more these days. Understandably, we are all feeling increased levels of stress and anxiety. A lot of our usual coping mechanisms have been shut down, like gyms, places of worship, cafes and favorite shops. This week is about self care, our mental health and staying motivated thorough this difficult time.


    Motivation Monday
    Now more than ever, practicing kindness and gratitude can help us and others through this time. Post a photo or describe what you are thankful for or an act of kindness in your life (whether you gave or received that kindness).

    Transformation Tuesday
    A lot of the places that we go to for self care are closed. It could be your place of worship, support group, salon, spa, gym, local pool, or neighbourhood cafe. All kinds of diy ideas and videos have popped up on how to do things for ourselves at home. Show or tell us about one way that you have transformed your self care while staying at home.

    Workout Wednesday
    Whether we feel like it or not, we need to keep moving during this difficult time. Post a selfie from or tell us about one aspect your home workout routine.

    Thirsty Thursday
    Seems like I am making way more soup lately. Post your recipe or a photo of for your favorite soup. I know that soup is a food, but it is liquid too!

    Food for Thought Friday
    Post a your favorite motivational quote. It can be a photo or text, but please share anything that is helping you right now.

    Morning all, new week means new focus for me..... I'm rested and I'm in the swing of lockdown life.... so, no excuses! Today is for planning and organising AND exercising! It has been confirmed that I can take 30 mins solitary exercise a day and from now I fully intend to use it.

    Last weeks steps were appalling, spot the three days i was still going to the office and the 4 I wasnt able to leave the house 🙄 from next week I want that to be different!

    Hello Shrinking Assets!
    You have a couple new team members coming your way for April, and they'll hopefully be checking in soon.

    @Be_theBest_Me and @laurenebargar are on their way! Have fun with them :smiley:
