Thanks for this great recipe! I bought several cans of salmon but wasn't sure how to dress it up. This will be a great lunch today!

Sliiiightly overdressed for picking up curbside dinner, but I'm desperate to wear something besides leggings and tee.

Oh, I have bat wings aplenty! You just can’t see them in those pics. Most of my loose skin is in my stomach, though my thighs and whatnot also have some crepey skin. And let’s not talk about my poor boobs.
The plastics I’m planning on getting next year are a Tummy Tuck and breast lift. Then I’ll re-evaluate and see if anything else bothers me enough to address it.
Today I broke out the FANCY jogging pants! Sparkles and everything. You can see the loose skin/pudge in my stomach in this. It’s fine, I’m overall THRILLED with the weight loss, so no complaints!

Shopping for groceries after work. I simply didn't bin the mask before I got home. Unfortunately there are still only a few people with masks. I've seen a few people of East Asian origin with masks but otherwise...
At least many patients are getting masks now on the wards before they go to the radiology department.

DAYUM

It's Saturday night!

Social distancing outfit

and look at Italy....

The reason most of us are taking precautions is we are not worried about getting Coronavirus. We are WORRIED about giving it to people who have compromised immune systems. Do you have any elderly relatives?
And the reason I brought it up is that it's the second time you have in a thread I've been posting in.

@BayougirlMrsS, why don't we leave politics out of the discussion and focus on health and support.

Not worried at all.... my feelings... this is all being over blown due to the Presidental race in Nov. They want the economy to tank so they can have a reason to say.... look how bad Trump is.
why did you stock up on Pasta, rice? why not stock up on fresh veggies and meats.... I use my vacuum sealer to keep things fresh.... I don't eat much, so i'm good.
This is another reason.... i love hunting... i have a freezer full of Deer
There is nothing stopping you from going outside and walking around.... turn on Netflix and do yoga... it cost nothing to walk/run in the neighborhood or at a park. Or you can do some cardio in your own back yard... take in some fresh air.

I have 10 pounds to go but now instead of losing I'm watching my weight stall and slowly creep up even. I don't feel that it's safe to go to the gym as my gym is crowded. I'm staying home, working from home and not doing my usual running around. I am much more sedentary now. There is much less access to fresh foods, store shelves are empty and we had to stock up on Pasta, rice and canned food as a backup. Not to mention I seem to be eating my feelings more and more.
Im really scared that my weight will continue to creep up! I know what everyone will say, do yoga on YouTube and stop stress eating. OK, easier said than done! This is a really scary time and I'm already so prone to anxiety but it's just been out of control. Being isolated is depressing and when you get depressed it's really hard to be disciplined and make a lot of effort. Is anyone in the same boat?

This is going to be a mess for sure, Nice thing is load up on Protein powder and drink shakes all day. I do not feel there will be a food shortage - But who the heck even knows

It's Saturday night!

Social distancing outfit

My daughter's school had an exposure to COVID-19/Coronavirus in MA this week, so we were asked to self-quarantine/distance.
I work from home and Boston's schools are out probably until April 27, so I'm guessing we're pretty much locked down in this little city apartment for the duration. My estimate is within the next week the whole country will be in this boat.
While we're still able to get out for walks (maintaining social distancing) I did cancel my rowing classes in order not to be patient zero. (And, frankly, to avoid exposure.)
I was able to lay in supplies of most of the things I currently eat on my plan, but I am definitely finding myself at the top end of my available calories every day. I'm not sure if it's stress eating, or being less busy, or what. And of course, I'll have to be leaning in more on non-perishables as this continues, so that may be worse.
I know diabetes and obesity are both complicating factors for outcomes if infected, as well as some other pre-existing conditions that often accompany high weight. I don't suffer from those, but I'm wondering if those who do are concerned.
How are you all coping with staying on plan, keeping active, and keeping stress low during this challenge?
