Day/Weight/Comment
04/26 …..204.3….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND Weight was inflated due to travel & Chinese food the day before. Therefore, my hope is to lose a full 2 pounds (or more) this round to be at a 0.1 deficit (or more). If the travel yesterday caused suspected water weight, this, at minimum should be attainable.

04/27 …..203.2 ….. And there goes the water from the Chinese Food two days ago. Now, to work on the weight gain. Goal: 202.3 or less. I worked hard yesterday doing a mix-up of movement and exercise. Very sore knees over the past couple of days due to some of my exercise choices so I’m keeping an eye on that. I pray today will be a strong day. It is Sunny & beautiful today with no rain expected until after 8:00 PM tonight so I plan on taking advantage of that. I will be traveling tomorrow for carpeting about 200 miles away each way. Carpet sales were prohibited until May 1st so I’m getting my butt out there to get the 7 different pieces/sizes that I need. Good luck everyone on this round!

Here in the UK all but essential shops are closed too and have been for 5 weeks now. So basically only supermarkets, food delivery shops and chemist and pharmacies open. And when you go to any of the shops they only let a certain number of people in to try and keep social distancing rule of not within 2m of anyone so queues outside all the food shops.
Some take outs still open for take out and delivery only but again the queuing 2m apart.

No DIY or clothes shops open either - all shut until further notice ....

Well day one I went on a 4 mile hike and it was awesome to have that mood lifter and fresh air. In all honesty yesterday was so up and down mood wise I’m hoping being more active helps me find balance. I know I’m not alone in feeling like this right now with all that’s going on in the world but I honestly think that makes it worse. Weight of the world on my shoulders nonsense and such. I hope today is a good one and luckily it is sunny and getting in a run tonight won’t be a problem. It’s the little positives we have to look for.

@deepwoodslady Donna, WHY have carpet and paint sales been banned in Michigan? It doesn’t make any sense to me!

@quiltingjaine You are absolutely right that it made NO SENSE whatsoever. It took a huge march on the state's capital and multiple lawsuits before the Governor relented on JUST A FEW of the guidelines. The idea is that getting paint mixed or getting carpet cut in the big box stores (like walmart, home depot, lowe's, menards etc) would create a situation where you would have to interact with an employee. Silly, because if you need help in an aisle choosing a faucet etc, you could flag down an employee (like usual) and get help anyway. Also, you could order online and then pick up the carpet and have someone load it in your truck for you! One person in my own community was ticketed 1000.00 for buying a bag of mulch! I'm sure they will fight that ticket now.

Another silly rule: You can fish in a boat, but not one with a motor. Also, if you owned a vacation cabin you could not travel to your other property for any reason. After multiple lawsuits in the past week to address whether people will still have to pay property taxes on land they can't step foot on, sportsman lawsuits about the boating issue etc. our Governor has relented and relaxed it a tiny bit (she has not admitted it is because of the lawsuits). However, she has extended the stay-at-home orders until at least May 15th now and everyone is required to wear the masks if they are indoors in ANY public place (no longer just a suggestion). They have just voted to eliminate the Governor's rights to post orders during emergency situations (she can no longer govern this if passed). Michigan is a mess right now.

My personal business has really suffered as all travel banned unless you are going to your own vacation home or you are traveling in the capacity of essential business as deemed by the mandate. However, carpeting is still VERY NEEDED for my cabins & rooms (which have been deemed essential). It has definitely been tough to be open but not be able to get essential items to operate (including toilet paper!) I can't wait for this to all be over! It's not just a health issue anymore. Obviously I want everyone to stay healthy and stay smart to protect themselves and others. It really has become quite political too. Now I am seeing on the news that foreign countries are hacking into U.S. (and perhaps other countries too) scientific intelligence and databases. We are all desperate for the cure, the vaccine or the best treatment options. But whoever comes up with that vaccine first will make billions and the whole world will be at their feet! It's a sad thing.

Sorry for the rant. I am just glad that we will be able to mow our lawn (I think). Ticks can be bad where I am at if property is not kept up. However, just because they opened up the landscaping companies and the nursery's doesn't mean homeowners are allowed to plant or keep up their own yards. It may just be to provide service and/or inventory to essential businesses. The idea, of course, when they closed all the nurseries and garden centers in the big box stores is that you would have to stay inside and not work in your yard. Yet I can go running or biking whenever I want OUTSIDE of my yard, even in PUBLIC parks, all of which have remained open here. I'll have to look into whether we can keep up our yards now...... Uggg so frustrating. However, my prayers are still with the human race, the pets, the wildlife and all of our futures. That remains most important.
