@bearly63 - as of right now we are still doing grades, however I think it may change to P/F soon. We still have 6.5 weeks to go and I heard there are changes coming for grades. @elise4270 - sorry about your migraine. You don’t need anything else on your plate. I’ve had those Kodiak Cakes and they are good! Food pretty good…

@shanaber - wow, I thought I was reading @quilteryoyo's post when I clicked the Spoiler and I was going to say "WOW, YOU COULD BE @shanaber's TWIN!!" Then I scrolled up and said, oh, okay, it is you! haha! You look great! As I've said before maintaining is much harder than losing! I did a similar thing to you all -- lost…

I will look for Senita! @Elise4270 - Taber? Some kind of medical book? Baguettes! Love them. I had Indian last night so was up to1.5 today. We rode on the trail (29) and then i ran 2 on treadmill. Tomorrow hopefully can ride again!

@elise4270 - so sorry about Alex. Agree with everyone that for anyone in recovery, this is a difficult time. Well, even if not in recovery, it's difficult! At first I read your post as "I ate 7 biscuits" and I thought, wow! That's a lot of biscuits, though I'm sure I could do it. Then I reread... oh! Triscuits! That's like…

@Camaramandy648 - wow, looks amazing! I never think to add greens to my smoothie. Did you use fresh berries? I use mainly frozen fruits in mine. @elise4270 - great on the classes! Whiny is okay. We all deserve to be that way these days! Have you seen where some students are suing their college because of switching to…

@shanaber - oh no on the bathroom issue. That's the worst. That's how my bathroom issues happen. Just when I think I'm over it, it comes back. I have just thrown out the clothing at times! That's great that you got the order and that the veggies look good! @bearly63 - did the class from in-person to online? If so, the…

@shanaber - yes everything is so salty! Because we are eating at home so much now (well, all the time!) when we get take out our favorite Indian or Chinese (only 1 time a week at this point), I can tell a huge difference on the scale! Haven't noticed in my eyes. But one thing with this whole stay at home that I am noticing…

Back to logging every single thing today! (so far anyway, breakfast! haha). I fell on my run this morning. Hopefully it didn't hurt anything internal, doesn't seem like it. I hate that feeling when you know it's coming and it feels like everything is in slow motion until you land. One elbow is very bruised but worst is one…

@Avidkeo - sorry about the block of chocolate! We've all been there! @elise4270 - no pandemic recipes to share! I'm so boring with the same things. @shanaber - agree with you on someone picking the produce. I am picky too. And I usually buy those plastic tubs of various salad mixes but I pick it based on the furthest out…

The baking sounds like a good idea to me! I had a sore left glute for a couple days so did low running miles. Today we wanted to ride but it was rainy in the morning, so I went in TM for a couple miles, then lifted, just upper body. Then, it looked nice to ride! Oops! So we went on a trial and it was empty! We bought pizza…

@quilteryoyo - same with the sore throat. What I want to know is what kind of sore throat is it? Is it the post nasal drip kind, the burning kind, the tight throat kind? I feel like I've had all of those over these weeks! There really aren't that many cases right around here, and I've been careful, but you just never know.…

@avidkeo - thanks for the reassurance. Orlando doesn’t actually have that many cases so I shouldn’t panic, especially since DH and I have been so careful. Made it to bedtime without snacking. :smile: Run in the morning - probably just 2-3 miles and hopefully do some lifting in the afternoon. Today I decided to add a few…

@shanaber - oh no flash floods! Yikes. @Avidkeo - hope there is no storm. :heart: Food day okay so far, at almost 8pm. But 9pm before bed has been a little dangerous of late! I feel so anxious whenever I get the slightest cough or dry throat! It's ridiculous. Nice 4 mile run this morning and then a busy day online all day.

@elise4270 - wow, this is an amazing coincidence - but I met my husband on 4/4 also. But it was 1980 when I was 18 and he was 20! 40 years ago! Our 35th anniversary is this December. We didn't even remember to celebrate with all this going on. We only remember every few years anyway, if I think about it. I didn't. We…

@shanaber - lol on the "not fun run". I don't do the pace they say. I totally ignore the speeds they say and do what's right for me. That part doesn't matter! I just find Robin Arzon very motivating! And she always says whatever your speed is, is fine! I have not tried the strength workouts but I use FitBod app for that,…

@RunsOnEspresso & @quilteryoyo. Florida was behind too, and we have some scary projections coming up. Our salons, dentists, eye doctors, not sure what else, are all shut down. I'm so worried about all these people. And of course, in Orlando, the tourism industry is completely shut down. @elise4270 - 3.5 hour online class?!…

@rheddmobile - I'll forward that suggestion on to my mom. She said she had an idea but it would be time consuming for so many masks. @quilteryoyo - Thanks, I know it is really sad for those kids and their parents will have a tough time trying to help them. The stress on everyone... @elise4270 - HAHA - good point! My angel…

Wow y'all have been quite busy! I am finally ready for my online classes that start tomorrow. Hope the kids are. I've made so many videos (welcome videos for four classes, instructional videos, etc.). I feel like the setup for online learning is way worse than the actual classes will be. I'm lucky I teach high school. My…

I will look for Shut up and Run. Well, I won't look for it, I will immediately download it, lol. Surprised I don't know it, as I've read so many running books. I've listened to her several days in a row on my runs, and she helps me so much! These are all recorded classes, I wish I could do the live classes to see what…

@elise4270 - lol, you made me laugh when you said you are lying around eating 3000 calories. And your suggestion for MFP! @shanaber & @quilteryoyo - the funny thing is I have taught online for a university for almost 15 years. It's just what they are asking us to do here, is a lot. But, I've had an attitude adjustment and…

@shanaber. That cake!!!! Yum!!!! And baked potato and broccoli!!! No haven’t read her book. It’s a 90 day trial. Try her out!!! I’m completely overwhelmed. We got our directive from our superintendent on what is required for the online learning and everyone is freaking out. We will survive. One day at a time. I’ve got it…

@elise4270 - yay! on walking! You can download and use the Peloton app for free for 90 days. I tried it today. OK NOW i know what all the hype is about. I listened to Robin Arzon, that my friend recommended. She was amazing! I just did a 20 minute run with HIIT, but I didn't run fast during HIIT due to foot issues I…

@shanaber - poor Hobbes. Great idea on the pool for @elise4270! I'm not sure how cold it gets there in the winter. @elise4270 - ugh don't blame you for wanting to be lazy with school cancelled. Go walk! @quilteryoyo - nice on the weight! I rode on my bike with 5 others for 48 miles. The weather is really nice. That said it…

@shanaber - Oh my gosh - your friend, and Hobbes. Hope you can take Hobbes in. I had mint chocolate. My daughter’s dog was featured in this article (2nd one, Rudy) Adorable Dogs Working From Home Instagram Started to Ease the Stress of Social Distancing Working from home might be ruff — but these dogs seem to have it down…

Kermit! Lol! I went to the grocery for a couple Items and saw a man in a big gas mask. Kind of scary to me. Finally, we got word that the teachers do not have to come in for a retreat on Monday. I suspect we will just be teaching from home. Since I have half a day of other duties I will do those remotely as well. Not sure…

@elise4270 - sorry they didn't fill the TP. Love your attitude on the virus though, this is scary, but nothing like a war. Gosh, that's scary that your daughter has high BP and smokes. But young people don't feel it's a threat and I get it too. I did a 30 mile bike ride this morning on a trail. There were a few cyclists. I…

If anyone isn't feeling stressed or anxious right now, I need whatever they are taking! I do know that if I was to start overeating and gain weight, I would be even more upset. So I am trying to watch my intake without being a nutcase and I am exercising more. I'm so thankful that I love exercising now. And for my home…

@shanaber - oh my gosh! I can't believe it was that empty. (I mean I believe you, of course, just that it's so empty!) People in my neighborhood are posting on the NextDoor site about needing toilet paper and others are offering to share a few rolls. Good luck tomorrow! @rheddmobile - wow, this is all just crazy!…

@shanaber - I have that too. I go through periods of having it bad and they it goes away for a while. When I am home I run a loop (Sticky's head) 3-4 times which is about 2 miles so that I can run in my house and go. Once I go, I'm fine the rest of the way. I haven't had to stop in the house for a few weeks, so I maybe out…

@quilteryoyo - great on the weight! I already feel use to the trays in my mouth. :smile: Hope the fundraiser and line dancing was fun. @shanaber - I had planned to follow your suggestion w/ bike ride yesterday but it turned out to be a perfect day for riding! The temps were perfect, no wind and I was fine with just having…
