I like the table discussion. Right now I feel like I'm ok. I'm good in the sense that I am in control of my exercise routine. I've been exercising at home for years and this year I've got in a good routine of being able to do my workouts even with my kids around, climbing all over me. A silver lining is that my kids are able to see me exercise, hopefully that's setting a good example. My 7 yr old will join me sometimes. What worries me is the food situation.
Our grocery stores are pretty wiped out still and what I am able to get is definitely not what we're used to. Today I sat in the parking lot waiting for my grocery pick up order for AN HOUR AND 15 MINS! With all four of my kids. So ridiculous. I stress ate some Easter candy. I had the calories left, but too much sugar is not good for me.2 -

I am doing 5 to Thrive, which is a Rachel Hollis thing. It is at least a goal each day. It is right in line with our mini-challenges, but it is nice to have a visual. In the past I have given up one category of food 30 days at a time, rather than the entire 90 days. I'm not sure what I am giving up this month though. It probably should be wine but just not sure this is good month for that!
Working from home does have it's challenges in that I'm not walking from a parking garage into my office, and walking around the office throughout the day, which doesn't seem like much but has impacted my step count. So, I am trying to make sure I get out with the dog a few times a day.
@jmalderman I really like that visual for your goals! Is it a different set of goals each day, or do you aim to at least complete one? That is pretty neat!
I (unintentionally) gave up wine near the end of December/early January. I have had one glass this year, and I don't find much of a difference in how things are going for me. I guess it would be different for me if I drank more frequently, but I used to have some every weekend... I hope you can find something to "give up" that isn't too difficult for you, and benefits you in the long run!
@cmhubbard92 The goal is to do all 5 each day for 90 days!
My daughter has started baking a lot during this at home time and it is becoming so second nature to lick the bowl and eat a brownie or cookie when the house is engulfed with the smells so I think I am giving that up. 😄
@jmalderman that is the perfect one to give up! I have a bad habit of doing that as well, so I've limited baking lately! Good luck staying away! 0 -

@thedestar great job staying active each day! I hope you were able to get a good enough selection of food for you and your family! Our local store has been doing a pretty good job at keeping everything well stocked. Obviously, all paper goods, cleaning products, and water are slim picking. I have been surprised at the amount of fresh produce and how full the meat department is. I have never done grocery pick up, but I can only imagine the stress the workers are going through trying to fulfill the increased orders from everywhere. I hope you found a hiding spot for your Easter candy so it doesn't remain so tempting! 0 -

I want to throw some water on my face here. Last night just proved a point. I can be ...by myself... Have the perfect amount of sleep... In the perfect stage of keto(where I'm not even hungry)... And I can STILL binge eat to a point of making myself sick. I'm at a loss for words... Just beyond disappointed. Last night was a mental ____ (you know what).5 -
Over on everything food wise this week, and hardly any exercise,so my weigh in is higher.
PW:123.8
CW: 124.5
I seem to be good until 6 pm with food and then the munching starts ! 🙁🎉
I’m still working out of the house , but instead of my normal routine as a nanny, the entire family and other kids are home with me , so I’m a bit off on my normal routine and it’s evident in my decompressing after 6 pm with munchies 😳
Hope everyone is doing well!!!

I really shouldn’t be complaining ! Sorry about that.1

I really shouldn’t be complaining ! Sorry about that.
@LMK02020 You are allowed to complain!!! We're here for you to vent to and express your frustrations at any time!!! Things are changing by the day, and we are all trying to find some way to continue a "normal" routine. It's stressful, and it can be really difficult! I hope you continue to be well! 1 -
cmhubbard92 wrote: »Weekly Round Table Discussion: I'd like to ask everyone how they are coping with this new normal? How are you staying healthy? How are you controlling what's controllable? All we have right now is control of our health. What is your plan to keep yourself in check during these trying times? Have you been implementing a new exercise because your gym is closed? Are you eating better because you can't go to your favorite buffet every other night!? Please share with the classroom.
I was doing *really* well with all of this until the last week. With my TOM due to arrive, it didn't help me. I did not stay on track for much of last week, no matter how hard I tried! I went for any and all snacks, and I hurt my back (again) and didn't get much activity in. This week, and weeks after, will be different!
We have not had dinner out in at least a month, and plan to continue this for a while. We have been making relatively healthy dinners lately, and have been having salad at least 3 times a week.
One thing I need to really try focusing on again is yoga. It helps me get some stress out in a healthy way, and I know my body can use it. I am about to do some simple stretches with my yoga strap, just to ease back into it.
As of right now, my plan is to refocus on making my lunches for work each day so that it is planned out. Also, stick to dinner plus one treat afterwards to make my calorie goal. Between work and being home, my goal is to aim for at least 9,000 steps a day. Sundays may continue to be my low days, and I am ok with that-I am looking at working Saturdays for overtime for the next few weeks, and don't want to overdo things too much.
Sorry my thoughts aren't too well organized on here!
It sounds like you have a great plan! I hope your back is feeling better soon.

*hugs* I don't think that we ever get 100% away from old habits... I think they lurk in the back of our minds preying on the right moment. The good thing is that you're aware, and I think you can move past this. You CAN do this! 1 -
I blew it on the MUACs last week. Will try, try again this week.
Past weight: 142.6
Current weight: 141.4
I am able to still walk my elderly dog every day, 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, along the river. It is a little exercise (he is super, super slow and stops to sniff everything) but also a calming experience to be in touch with nature. I sometimes have to cross the street to maintain a social distance from others, but it's not overly crowded where I walk.
While I do not have many snacks around, I tend to eat too much bread. This has been exacerbated lately as my husband has been stress baking and he makes really good bread!
I will try to focus on eating more vegetables this week. Christine, I am impressed with your 3X week salads! I like what Krysless said about our weight being one of the only things we can control in this time.1 -

Starting to get out more. As my lungs clear from the bronchitis, I’ll be able to get back to exercising regularly. But after 5 weeks out, my stamina let’s me go for a walk and I’m exhausted.
But I need to kick up the exercise. Now that I’m not sick, the weight isn’t magically falling off. I’m trying to be super strict on my diet just to maintain my loss.
On the good side, I’m liking the new habit of walking after dinner. It means I can burn off some of the food I ate, plus I’m not sitting on the couch thinking about what treats might be in the kitchen. Win-win 😄

@richmondwriter That is really amazing dedication to getting your dog out for a walk! I have not been taking my dogs on walks as much as I would like to lately... I am glad you can safely get out without having to come across the paths of many people! I completely understand your problem with bread lately! I took groceries to my mother, and she had left a bag of homemade bread out for me to bring home... I have been doing an absolutely terrible job with limiting the bread!!! 0 -
