3/30/2020 Well my suspicion was right. I'm COVID positive. I knew that something was up since I don't get sick often and the fever has been lingering a week. Here are my symptoms in decreasing order Fever 99-101 up and down for 6 days now. slight headache. slight muscle ache slight achy around the eyes occasionally. No…

3/29/20 Thank you to all who gave me a shout out yesterday! I really appreciate it! Still waiting for the temp to go down and now I’m curious what COVID result is going to be. Less muscle aches. Day 5. Calories were way under. Barely 600 calories today. No appetite. Tracked everything. Walked 30 minutes! No passes left.…

Still in bed rest and waiting COVID result which I was told takes 2 business days. Calories way under as I do not have an appetite 500+ only No exercise Tracked. Yes Using the last pass today. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

3/27/2020 Still on bedrest so I can not fulfill the minimum 20 min exercise Feeling a little better today. I decided to get tested for COVID Calories? YES Tracking? YES 1 Pass left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Oooops. Forgot to post yesterday. 1/26/2020 Did I stay within my calorie budget? YES Did I track every thing? YES Did I exercise for at least 20 min? NO I got put on bed rest! Still have a low grade temp. Argh. 1 pass used. 2 left Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Thank you @Hollis100 Usually I get rid of this after a few days but it has only been three days and the fever is coming down. I was thinking of going for COVID but I think I’ll wait and save the test for someone who really needs it. Today 100.2-100.7 Take care and stay safe in all you are doing for your community!

Today was a minimal day. Calories in the budget. Cardio: 20 minutes easy walk Tracked everything as usual. Temp still spiking occasionally at 101.5 (max) but coming down. (I hope). I have not been good about my water intake. So I'll have to work on this. Yes, x3 3 passes left. Have a safe and successful day tomorrow all!

The challenge focuses on the bare essentials to keep the journey successful and long lasting. It works! 👍👍

@dsgoingtodoit I would tell him to take time to smell the roses and enjoy life each step of the way. There is more to life than making it go faster. Congrats! Happy Birthday to your son!

Thanks so much @dsgoingtodoit That’s what I’m going to do. Thanks for the advice. I’m going to continue to rest and drink lots of fluids and eat low salt chicken noodle soup, tea! And stay away from nona. 👵 But I’m getting stir crazy 😜 Take care and stay safe!

Thank you @Hollis100 Day 2 and temp still at 102. I was thinking today that even if it was COVID it is treated conservatively like the flu anyway and I am comforted by data that we have a much more chance of recovering from COVID than dying from it and critical illness is at 5%. The overall case fatality rate was 2.3…

Prayers to all who are struggling. I have a 102 F temp but I was able to feel better between fever spikes to get a 20 minute easy walk. I tracked everything and I am way below budget. No passes used so far. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Coming down with something so activity was minimal but I got a 20 min walk this morning before I started feeling a little chilled this afternoon. Calories way below so I will need to make it up. Tracked everything. 3 passes left Yes x 3 but tomorrow may be different. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Had another controlled day over here. Activity and calories were tracked. I actually had to adjust fuel up by 100 calories a day this week. Feeling better already. Gotta listen to the body. It was an easy working day for me. Yes x 3 3 passes left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

3/21/20 Another successful day. Yes, Yes, Yes! x 3 Highest calorie food today were 7oz salmon, chicken tamale (240+ cals a tamale!) and 1/2 a serving of chocolate chip cookie. All tracked and in the budget. Thanks for walking with me. Stay safe and healthy! Have a successful day tomorrow all!

@MadisonMolly2017 Awesome! Holy Cow! We have almost the same weight loss graph! I started on April 1 2015 and reached my goal in February 2016!

Anybody want to join me for a walk? But please keep the recommended social distance. 🙃 Have a great day all! Grateful for my health and my friends health. Be safe.

Another Good day over here. Yes x 3 All calories and activity accounted for. 3 passes left. 'Tracked everything including a *half* portion of battered fish! I haven't had that for a long time but I was able to stop at half a piece. (260 calories per piece!) Back in my college days, I couldn't stop eating it. There were 2-3…

@MadisonMolly2017 I have been in maintenance for almost 4 years. It took me 10 months to get to goal but since then I have had to adjust a little since people were telling me that I looked ill! lol. I was cold all the time and the energy and mental sharpness were not there. I've learned to eat with a purpose and eating…

Yes x 3 3 passes left. I earned some calories from exercise so I ate some then closed the kitchen. Have a successful day tomorrow all! Hope everybody is staying safe. This too shall pass.

@MadisonMolly2017 Sorry, I didn't notice your post yesterday so I am glad that I look back once in a while. Thanks for asking. Now I gotta track a little more exercise before closing the day. Take care all!

Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 ! I used to worry about sooo many things about how to lose weight, then when I got to maintnance, weight creep or breaking a plateaus. I can fill this page. The KISS method stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. lol Basically, I focus on the 3 principles here we already know. Track everything accurately…

It was another good day. The KISS method is working will less effort than before. Yes x 3 3 passes left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Yes x3 3 passes left. Lots of energy today so I will finish the day with a nice walk. Hope you have a successful day tomorrow all!

My NSV is that I feel that I have complete control of my nutrition and I can tweak it anyway I like it. Foot still hurts. Back on the bike today. Yes x3 3 passes left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

Today was a day of rest so I got the minimum workout 30 minutes on the bike since I developed some foot pain for some reason. Calorie control was better than yesterday and the food was very clean. Yes x 3 and on budget. 3 passes left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!

@bold_rabbit I hope that you are feeling better today!

@SuziQ113 Yes, it was a beautiful love story and the music was out of this world! Take care. @BonnieHosk85 Belated Happy Birthday!

I saw an old movie today called WALL-E. It reminded me of what can happen to our body if we eat more than what we burn, live a sedentary life and do not exercise (especially weight bearing exercises), and if get our nutrition comes primarily from processed food. If we do not take care of ourselves and our planet, the…

I’m closing the tracker with another well managed day. Yes x3 3 passes left. Have a successful day tomorrow all!
