@sleepymom5 I am not worried about the gain, I am trying to get back on a routine while I am stuck in the house. I am getting in so many less steps just sitting at my laptop all day.

@1theresamcvean thanks! So far my my household has been staying safe, but my hubby is still going to work every day.

@Cafelelia I am just trying to do the best I can under the circumstances!

@tryingagain5 I think I had the same kind of day as you did yesterday. Did my workout and my laundry! But you definitely worked out more than I did. That’s awesome!

I also went for a walk with my son and his puppy Sunny. Occasionally we would see someone on the other side of the street walking their dog and we would say hello from across the street. If there is anything good about what’s going on right now - it’s that I’m getting to spend a lot of time with my son and his pup!!

I didn’t realize you are from Michigan too. What city or area do you live in? I’m in Macomb county.

@lennoncpa
Since I'm not working I'm trying to keep myself busy. I figure that more exercise is good for me and keeps me busy.

I'm trying to look at the positive things as well. It's nice you get to spend time with your son and that adorable little dog.

Yes, I'm from Michigan too. West side of the state. Small town of Hudsonville.

Macomb County is near the Detroit area, isn't it? My youngest nephew, his wife and their 1 year old live in Garden City.

Thursday 3/26
Food: logged and under
Water 80 oz
Exercise: Walk 45 min, PT, stretch and strength

Had a much more productive day today. Got a good walk in plus my PT session, eating was on track, got over my water and steps in. I also got a guest room spring cleaned, did some CEUs for my nursing license and did a module for my CPR class. Jim is still not feeling well. He seemed to be a little better this morning and then was back to his usual this evening. Hopefully that is a good sign. I missed that his doctor had called to check on him. I didn't see the call until this evening. Hoping to have another good day tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good night (or day depending where you are )



@Mrsbell8well I am glad you are feeling better about things
@Cafelelia I could see why you are frustrated. That would have upset me too. I would have thought there would be better communication since they are depending on the parents to pick up with the schooling. Thanks for sharing that video. I got chills. So beautiful!
@kirsten11872 It is tough being home. Hope you find something that works for you and your schedule.
@tryingagain5 That always happens to me, something makes a strange noise or rattle and then when someone is there to fix it, it doesn't do make the noise again. Sounds like you got a good workout in. It is interesting how you weren't hungry and basically fasted for 24 hours. I wonder if you are use to not eating during the day because you are usually sleeping?
@lennoncpa One good thing is to be spending more time with our families.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx That is an awesome pic! It is nice to be able to still laugh in these times!

daily check in
not really sure what to say home educating seems to be going ok we have eased of the pace a bit after tuesday. Took my little one for 2 laps around the block early in the morning. Spent the morning folding washing omg. Where does all the washing come from anyway. Food wise I am just so busy and trying to conserve supplies so eating 3 meals and 2 snacks. With all the activity I am feeling very healthy. Last night we did a round of applause for the national health service. It was amazing the whole street standing on their doorstep applauding.

@Freeglerock are you a brit?

Bit embarrassing, but here are my steps for last couple of days:
Weds 1,592
Thurs 4,080

I am still failing to track.  Wednesday, food was all good and healthy until bedtime - when I sneaked a whole packet of jammy ring biscuits 🙈.  Not good. Yesterday, good all day (and no evening binge on bad stuff - Yay!).  Have not left the house since Tuesday morning, and really feeling. It. 

Last few days has been a struggle trying to juggle working, keeping my son occupied with school work or educational activities, and trying to engage my daughter (without resorting to the tv too much!).  Pleased that I now have 4 days where I don't have to work - planning on spending it sowing seeds, sorting out my greenhouses and digging on the allotment before the weather turns colder on Sunday.

I really struggle to believe what is happening, though felt rather more real last night with a countrywide clap for our NHS - that felt quite emotional, plus my neighbour (and close friend) has come down with the symptoms (who was in my house on Sunday and Monday). Bit close to home!

@hope002 what lovely pictures.  Where abouts are you? The snow took me by surprise - last couple of days in the UK have felt almost like the start of summer (kids have even been wearing shorts!)!
@pacsnc6 sending you lots of positive vibes and best wishes for speedy recovery. 
@nstephenson01 never hea4d of a Doritos casserole before - had to Google it.  Not sure if I think that sounds like the weirdest thing ever or an amazing idea - do the Doritos go soggy?
@Mrsbell8well so glad you are feeling more comfortable now.  I treating to hear about your cleanse (I recall you saying about them late last year).  Not sure I could ever go quite that long with just water & juices before introducing food, though interested to try.  May try it when this madness is over and my partner is back to working away!
@sleepymom5 your gym looks amazing!  Most jealous :-) Glad you are getting some productive days in.
@tryingagain5 really impressed at your dedication to you exercise.  I'm funding the motivation lacking on that front, but will make an effort today.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx fab photo 😂
@Cafelelia I would be so angry at that teacher.  Given what is going on at the moment, good communication and understanding is a necessity.

@amsandos yes, Brit here 👋
@Fi45 nice loss!

@hope002
Wow! That's a lot of exercise, great job!

Hi all,

Missed a few days so will have to catch up but hope everyone is staying safe and well x

My work has finally had to shut down so since Wednesday I've been at home. We are all on the government scheme now which is 80% of our 'basic hours' - it's going to make things very tight as I always go over these anyway. Most everyone else is just off but since I do things like banking and payroll I'm still doing work from home.

Went out for groceries today and seemed a lot quieter than previously - hopefully this means people are easing up on the panic-buying. The shelves were still a little hit and miss for items though. Have a feeling the scales are not going to be kind this week - the healthy eating has gone to pot a bit and done very little exercise. I've just seen that my zumba instructor is doing online public sessions a couple of times a week though, so might need to have a look at those.

@Freeglerock - like you I found the clap for the NHS last night quite emotional. They're doing such a great job in difficult circumstance. I would really like to hope that when this is all over that this newfound appreciation people are having for them might translate to a decent wage!

@tryingagain5 I’m about an hour north of Detroit. I also live in a small town - it’s called Romeo. I live in a 116 year old Victorian home right near the downtown - which is really fun being able to walk around the town.
