@matthewsfive. I have re-added you. Welcome back. As you were not in for week 1 and 2, "technically" you were eliminated. However this competition is about encouraging people so you are back in. In order to make the sheets work, you are not in the running for this week's result. However, you are in for the months result.…

March 21 Exercised: Yes (6km walk in 50 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Did not get out yesterday (or post), but managed today. Dishwasher not working, so one extra thing to do around the house for a while. Like @SuziQ113 , will put any COVID-19 stuff in spoiler. Nothing to add today on that (fortunately). Grateful…

March 19 Exercised: Yes (5km walk in 38 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Bit more up to pace today. My walk in the hills is very COVID-19 measure friendly. I touch nothing, I get (or stay close) to no one. :) No reason it cannot continue. I urge people to follow the authorities local guidelines during this tough…

@inshapeCK. Well done. The current situation does have both challenges and potential benefits. Continue to work on the benefits.

March 18 Exercised: Yes (5km walk in 39 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Slightly slower walk. Could not push as hard as usual. Daughter had a rough day, but I managed to mostly calm her down. She is still struggling with a lot. Thankful that my work is usually done from home and that my family is secure.

Username: craigo3154 March 18, Week 3 LW: 136.5 (61.9 kg) CW: 137.3 (62.3 kg) Been 61.9 most of he week, only last 2 days have been 62.3. Still keeping to plan, but have increased the daily bodyweight. Waist measurement has reduced slightly and chest measurement has increased slightly, so weight "may" be muscle (and…

@alligatorob. Can be disconcerting. Especially if you enjoy working out in the gym. (Some do, some don't). Some like the social or company aspect which helps motivate them to work. For sheer workload, there is a lot of non-gym exercises that can be done to work both strength and stamina. My main go-to for bodyweight is…

March 17 Exercised: Yes (6km walk in 80 mins - flat) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Long walk today with my wife. First time she has walked in a while. Continuing to adjust medication timing. Looks like it will eventually be morning instead of evening. Expecting to go up a little from last weeks low at weigh-in.

@Keepingtrack1234. Not a problem. Will ensure they are kept up to date.

My main interest outside of UAC is racing FPV drones. I compete when I can, even up to a national level. I am secretary of a drone racing club and organise events. The FPV race drones are not "off the shelf", they need to be assembled from components. To fly you need to know soldering, electrical engineering, aeronautical…

March 16 Exercised: Yes (5km walk in 38 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Better sleep last night. Likely because I was exhausted and I took my medication early in the evening instead of just before sleeping. Experimenting on moving medication to earlier in the day to improve sleep. Love reading everyone NSV's…

@MadisonMolly2017. Largely true and unpleasant to hear. I prefer a less "emotional" way of looking at things. Some positive things to remember:* Most of the isolation measures are to SLOW the spread of the virus so that enough resources may be available for those who need them. The slower the virus spread progresses, the…

@BonnieHosk85. Happy Birthday for the 14th. I apologise for missing it the first time through (I get lost in my own world too often). Hope you had a great day. Your gift to yourself sounds perfect. Receive it with all blessings. It's a gift that keeps giving. Add self forgiveness to that gift too (for times when things get…

March 15 Exercised: Yes (3km walk in 23 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes As well as the walk. Flew race drones today (so even more walking). Less than 5 hours sleep, so room for improvement there.

March 14 Exercised: Yes (3+hours cleaning, car, kitchen, stove, fridge, etc...) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Busy day. Wife away so no one to disquiet with my stress cleaning (cleaning to try reduce stress). Been a bad few days, not sleeping well, but this too shall pass. Experimental drone race tomorrow. Will be interesting…

Just to highlight this a little further. For most people, the affects are not severe. However, for the small percentage that it is, they require medical assistance. The measures are not likely not reduce the overall number of people who are infected in the long term. What it does do is spreads it out over a longer period…

March 12 Exercised: Yes (5km walk in 37 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Fastest walk in a long time. Busy day. Enquired about blood donation, but they will not take me for 4 weeks until the anti-depressant has settled in and I know if/what any side effects are. Only side effects so far are mild-insomnia (waking more…

@BMcC9. Great find. The poem I quoted was from memory of having it having being told to me. Most likely it was an adaptation of the entire first verse of the Edgar Albert Guest poem. Adaption would have been to make it scan. The sentiment is identical. "You don't know if it can't be done till you try." And someone…

@AmyG1982. Removal process is reversible. Data is maintained, just hidden. Will try to remember when processing end of weeks. However, if forgotten, Jimboden3 can be restored when he weighs in again (just remind Ashley and I here).

March 12 Exercised: Yes (3km walk in 23 mins - hills) Tracked: Yes Budget: Yes Short walk but still home after dark. Will need to start walking earlier.
