@TeresaW1020 Love the puzzle, my DH and youngest daughter are into puzzles and they're due for a new one @renaegry Nice work. I need to do better with exercise. Enjoyed my early morning walk yesterday, finally some sun. I ventured to the store for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks. We did curbside pickup at the grocery store.…

We had quite a bit of snow two days ago, since then it's been raining and cold. Still made it out for my walk, but I can't take much more of this cold, I need a real spring, with sunshine. It's hard to write because every day's the same. I'm eating more because I'm home, but I try to limit my portions and snacking, I…

@TeresaW1020 - Wine is a good trade off these days. It's nice that you still found a way to mark the special day, even if it wasn't how you planned. @cbabie In the 90s, I can't even imagine. Winter isn't as strong here anymore as it once was, but now it just drags on forever, sometimes it feels like we lost spring and…

@its_cleo Congratulations on your weight loss. Any amount of weight off during this time is an accomplishment. I know what you mean about the phone and people, I'm just not motivated right now to keep up with calls. @cbabie I'm glad you got out for a walk, the exercise and sun. I've been feeling run down myself the last…

@cbabie exercise is an important stress reliever, when I worked at the office I relied on my walks to get me through the day sometimes. @trooworld Sometimes it's good to change things up just so we don't get bored. Almost 8 pounds since March, something is working. I'm sure the other plan will work to, if not switch back.…

@mswatson0777 - Making a list is a good idea, it helps keep us focused and more active. @cbabie I'm glad you caught your hats! It was windy here too, but we still need fresh air sometimes @its_cleo Even if you feel your stamina is low, you are regularly exercising. I admire your commitment to exercise.…

@Shexio Congratulations on reaching your goal weight. Glad your stomach is feeling better. @TeresaW1020 - I read about the storm and how bad it was down south, it's awful. Great job sticking to your goals even during the holiday. @trooworld - A sleeping dog seems like good reason to put off your exercise, but at least you…

@TeresaW1020 Your dinner sounds delicious. It was definitely a different Easter this year, but I can't complain, everyone here is healthy and happy. @trooworld - Too bad about your dinner, but you made the best of it. We're supposed to have high winds today, and we've already been warned about power outages.…

@trooworld It's disappointing about the weight loss when you're expecting something different because of your hard work, but you know weight fluctuations based on a lot of things, hormones, salt intake, ect. @TeresaW1020 Starbucks sounds so good right now, the weather has been all over the place by me, hopefully you have…

@Shexio- Those are good goals @TeresaW1020 Good job with the weight lose. Right now if I can just maintain I'll be happy. @trooworld What a relief that you'll be paid during your time off, boredom is a small problem. That's a good video, simple but effective. @mswatson0777 What a pain about your dog, do you think he's…

@mswatson0777 You sound very busy, but you still find time to exercise, that's great. It sounds like your getting to the end of your degree. What an accomplishment. @trooworld I'm glad you're feeling better. The habit tracker sounds like a good idea. @RetiredAndLovingIt It would be hard to work from home with young kids in…

@Shexio Nice work losing a pound. Tracking really does work, it helps to cut down on snacking and mindless nibbling. I'm going to check out Jessica Smith for my walks @mswatson0777 - Oh wow, I would have left the woodpile. Maybe just having you near their home will encourage them to leave. I live in a subdivision and over…

@TeresaW1020 It's great hearing how everyone is finding ways to connect with people in new ways. Lots of Zoom going on. My church has mass every week online, and people are meeting virtually for several different groups. Good call on the wine, I don't like juice. @trooworld For sure find someone to talk to online. I've got…

@mswatson0777 - I'm grateful for my house too, I'm also grateful for my family. Even though there are a lot of us in this house, I think it would be terrible to quarantine all alone. @trooworld- Self care is important. Mentally it's a challenging time, I'm glad your aware of what you need. @its_cleo - In my state that is a…

@TeresaW1020 - Just like your dog, I think there are a lot of people getting their hair cut at home now. We're going to be rockin' some really interesting styles when this is all over. @trooworld I'm going to check out my Y, what a great idea. @renaegry That's a nice workout schedule, because it's manageable @mswatson0777…

@its_cleo "there are 1000 Canadian nurses in Detroit, did you know that 😊 We help when we can." Thank You Canada <3 . I have a lot of relatives just across the border from Detroit, missing them too.

@trooworld - Fantastic job on the weight loss, it's coming off quick, you're definitely doing something right. @joannadavison - I'm a big fan of walking, it's easy, relieves stress and feels great. Hopefully your youth group meeting went smoothly. Trying out new technology is always stressful @mswatson0777 Hope you enjoyed…

@TeresaW1020 It's good that you're finding ways to work and still stay as safe as possible. @mswatson0777 Good for you for setting goals and sticking to them. @huskymarie Wow this must be a crazy busy time for you trying to set up service remotely, and you still have time to make masks. Thanks for the pattern. I'm not much…

@trooworld I'm sorry, hopefully today is a better day. @mswatson0777 It sounds like you have a lot going on. What are you studying in school? @Cbabie Computer issues are so frustrating. MY DD has been trying to register for fall/winter classes and her schools registration this year has been a mess. She has had to call and…

@TeresaW1020 Spring is on the way for sure. I can't wait to start planting some herbs @mswatson0777 It will feel so good once your paper is done, summer will be here soon. Has the transition to online class gone okay. My kids have been having trouble, because some of the professors are resistant to using technology of any…

@TeresaW1020 It's great that you are finding ways to stay busy and involved even in isolation. @RetiredAndLovingIt I'm glad we'll be in lockdown longer too, I'm in no hurry to get back to normal if we don't have this thing under control. @trooworld- I'm struggling with food right now, I'm trying everyday to do better…

@theslightedgeforever I watched Mud with Matthew McConaughey, it was a random choice on Amazon Prime. It was good. I watched Hacksaw Ridge awhile ago, also very good, and similar to the movie and book Unbroken. My family is starting to settle into a new routine, which helps, thanks for asking. My kids classes keep them…

@trooworld - I would be happy with maintaining right now, especially with pizza! You're doing something right @renaegry - The drinks sound good, I like trying different things, but nothing too sweet. I like my whisky from time to time. @theslightedgeforever I like the raw butternut idea. @Shexio Warm liquids help with the…

@Theslightedgeforever Thanks for the advice about hiding away in my room sometimes, it really does work. I need that time to myself.

@TeresaW1020 I've done a simple intermittent fast and it did help me. Basically I try to eat an early dinner and start eating after 10:00 in the morning. Maybe I'll go back to that for awhile, I need to do something to break the snacking habit I've gotten into while I've been home. @renaegry I go for a small walk during my…

@theslightedgeforever - You sound like you're making the must of this time of social distancing. Decluttering should more to the top of my to do list. @TeresaW1020 - Telemed is an important option for people. My church has stopped all masses in my area, the offices are still open if anyone needs something, it's so surreal.…

It's motivating to read about all the plans people are making to stay busy and healthy during this crazy time. I'm officially working from home as of today. I need a plan because I've been crazy hungry this last week and being home is not great. So I need a plan: 1. Continue to go for my lunch time walk 2. Add another walk…

@theslightedgeforever - Thank you for these tips, I have to get better of watching what I eat when I have to guess at the calories. I also need to watch my portion size, it takes so much disciple to change a habit. Gradually I've made improvements, but there is still more I need to do. @mswatson0777 - My DH has gotten…

@its_cleo- Good for you, a 5k sounds like fun. I've been thinking of signing up for one for awhile, but I never get around to it. @trooworld - three pounds is hard work! I really slack on the exercise @cbabie- When you track you lose, it's the truth. I've fallen away from it a bit in the last couple of weeks, but I know…

@trooworld- nice job with the steps, I love walking, it's my only form of exercise @theslightedgeforever - I have do nothing days too, and I always feel meh, after. I try to start the day with a plan, this doesn't always happen for me though Good Morning everyone. It's been a good week, but I haven't been tracking my food…
