    I’m feeling stressed as I know lots of us are. My allergy meds are also messing w/my sleep. But have had a few good last few days and getting back my grip on mindless snacking while being stuck at home.

    Great loss this month! We have a had lots of extra snacks with my husband working from home. I am trying to keep log of them so I don't overdo it.

    @primekayprime - Don't let that get you down. You have been doing great. Reflect and change what isn't working and keep what has worked in the past.
    We have a new month coming up to start fresh!

    Good morning TBBT!

    I am extremely sorry that I have gone a little MIA in this past week. With everything that is going on, I am scared and worried about so many people in my life. Our state will be shutting down most businesses come Monday evening, but I will continue to have to work. I just don't know how to react to this. I can say that this is definitely bringing down my mood, especially because I can't visit my mom now. Shes 71 and at high risk. After my visit this week, we decided that I will only be dropping off groceries/thing she needs at the door. I'm not going in to visit anymore. It's good that we talk on the phone, but I look forward to our visits... I wouldn't be able to handle it if I gave her something...

    I have tried to keep track of my diet this week, but I have honestly thrown the weekend out of the window. I will be mostly on track this week while I am at work, so that is good. I know today will be another day of food, and I don't feel bad about it for now.

    I hope you are all doing ok through this! I think about you all through this. Please continue to post and check in with the group 💜 @Slinky_BraveHeartBunsOfSteel I hate to see you leave us, but I understand! Take care of yourself, and please, stay safe! 💜💜💜

    I want to thank @brandi_84 and @Krysless2 for keeping up with everything for me. I really appreciate it and am grateful to have you guys as co-captains!

    @cmhubbard92
    Christine, I also think you have made the best decision. I am afraid before it is over my family will have to make the same kind of decision and plan of action.
    I know it must be hard. With this type of thing going on, I think we really want to be with the people we care about.
    Everyday, I am having conversations with my daughter, explaining what is going on each day , how things could change minute by minute, and why we are taking the safety precautions that we are taking.
    Even though she is homeschooled there are activities she normally participates in out of home, that she is missing going to.
    Let me and Krystal know if there is anything else we can do to help you out.

    I assume, if you are still having to still go to work you are in an essential business/field. I am sure your community is thankful for you going in and risking your health to keep the essential things going.
    I say this to everyone here who is still having to leave their home and go to work.

    Christine, I think you are doing the right thing with your Mom, though it is hard. My Mom is in Texas, and my instinct is to go get her. But that would involve flights and increased exposure. I believe you said you were in health care, so we all appreciate everything you are doing! I hope they offer some opportunities to discuss or deal with stress at work.

    My boyfriend delivers scrubs, gowns, sheets, etc. To all the hospitals in our state and surrounding. He's 100% essential, and will have to work through this. I, however, work in retail. I work at a hardware store, which is considered essential... have a pipe burst/toilet stop working? Come on in! I don't feel like I am the same kind of essential as others, but I am grateful to be working, still.

    Well it sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat in that it feels really easy to let all of this stuff fall away right now. I am so tempted to think my weight/fitness don’t matter with all of this going on, especially after being sick, but I have done that before. The stress of everything can make us give up but I am trying hard not to do that this time (and it sounds like a lot of us are working hard to keep going 😄). So while I was down for the count while I was sick, here I go, getting back in it!

    3/23
    Tracking- yes

    I actually got down under 190 last week, but I stopped bring a lunch to and from the hospital and not exercising at night:( Need to get creative... i just hate running in the cold and it hasn't warmed up in WI yet.

    Woohoo! I only see this:
    Starting March Weight: 194.2
    Week 4 weight: 190.4

    Ahhmazing!! I see many 1and8s in your April weeks ahead!!
