You are not alone. I went through anxiety, depression, fear of the unknown, fear of things changing, fear of myself and family's health, binge drinking. I really had to pull myself out of it. I am now finally starting to get a better handle of things and the situation we are in. I go for runs, pray, meditate and I am…

We got this! We have to get refocused and reboot. They did say alcohol sales have increased significantly. Maybe it's because the bars and clubs are closed maybe it's the stress of dealing with all of this or both. I've been staying active with exercise that helps a lot with dealing with the stress. So sorry that your…

I am back to binge drinking on the weekends. With all the stress that's going on and being quarantined I've taken the "F" it attitude there is nothing else to do. This weekend I plan to reboot and not drink. Seems like everyone else is staying strong and doing well!

I hate to be the negative Nelly but that was the first thing that came to my mind. I hope Covid19 doesn't ruin your travel plans. I booked (last year) a trip to Spain scheduled for July and I am going to cancel it because of Covid19. Good luck to you and your weight loss goals. Happy Anniversary!!! <3

I was looking for 20# or 25# can't find them anywhere. I even looked at Facebook Marketplace. Finally my trainer said he can get me a pair of 20# from the gym that I can use until this is over. I hope he can come through with them.

So far I have maintained my weight and some weeks I have lost. My issue is the weekend with binge drinking out of boredom then with that comes the bad eating. During the week I am controlled and continue exercises through Zoom video conferencing and running. It took me some time to adjust to the new normal. I did go…

I go jogging and there aren't many people out but the few people I do pass are not 6 feet away. But I am passing by them so fast there is no chance I would catch anything. Most people move to the side anyway

My gym suspended membership dues for the time being.

Thank you! I had plans to go to ATL and celebrate with my sister but of course I had to cancel. So I stayed home and got drunk with hubby!!! :D

I guess I'm on a forced cut. Lost weight. Only hoping to maintain my muscle mass.

Turned 52 March 20th

Did a 4.63 mile run. I feel so much better!

And this is what makes me extremely heart broken. All the grandstanding, finger pointing and unnecessary BS. I had to politely set my cousin straight because he tried to make a crappy political comment on my Facebook post. I told him point blank we are in a serious crisis!! Get off my page with the nonsense! It is not…

Ok it took some motivation but I did it and had a big sweat!! 3 X 12 Single Leg Romanian DL 3 X 12 Split Squats 3 X 10 Calf Raises 3X 12 Tricep Raises 3 X 12 21 bicep curls (7 lower 7 upper 7 full)

I am bumping this. I would love to see what everyone else is doing because I am just stuck!!! I can't buy powerblocks they are out of stock. @cupcakesandproteinshakes you must have bought the last pair LOL! I am so spoiled to the gym and having access to everything the thought of having to come up with my own routine…

I WFH so that has not changed. My gym is closed and I am just stuck. I dont have an at home gym routine. I don't have the weights I need. I guess I'll start running. I just feel so discombobulated.

You are right in saying that. I am thankful and blessed to see another birthday! And yes I love lobster tail!! LOL!

All the bars and restaurants are closed here in Illinois. My bday is Friday and I planned a trip to ATL to see my sister now that is cancelled. My bday is going to suck this year. I did schedule a mani/pedi right now and I am going to my appt. I need something to feel good and get out of the house.

Good use! :D

My gym was a ghost town this morning. I've been doing a lot of wiping down b4 and after equipment use. I'm still going to go the gym. This totally sucks!

After last night's address the gym was pretty empty this morning. :|

House music when I'm doing cardio and Gangster rap or any rap when I'm lifting.

That is 2 lbs per week! That is an awesome loss in my book! I'll take that any day! :) Congrats to you!

The doctors are begging people to stop buying masks because they are in need of them. Also wearing one while you are not sick doesn't prevent anything anyway. I would think it would be more of a risk if you are not changing it often with all of the secretions building up.

Wow I haven't been on here for a very very long time!! I am reading these posts and realize how much I've missed everyone!!! @RubyRed427 I had to see if you were still on my friends list!! I'm glad you are <3 <3 Update on myself. This January I said ENOUGH I am done with this binge drinking. I have not binge drank yet this…

Do you have good running shoes? Edit: I am just reading ur responses of surgery. Best of luck to u

I just SWEAT PROFUSELY weight has nothing to do with it for me! :D

After tightening up on my diet it took an entire month for me to see any progress. And my weight went up before it started going down. So if you have no health issues/concerns then I would say give it some time and stay consistent, be patient and don't throw in the towel. And everything that flow chart says!

I have upped my protein significantly and I cut out alcohol significantly. Made a huge difference!

I friend request if I read someone's profile that I've seen in the forums that may have similar interests as mine. I've gotten friend requests saying they think my dogs are beautiful. They are though! :p
