Quarantine 15

[fontjm 40]

Hi everyone, have you heard of the quarantine 15? Similar to the freshman 15 when we were in college. What are you doing to maintain your health during these unusual times?

I have almost finished week two post op and am on pureed foods, so no temptations there. I am in state govt mandatory quarantine until Saturday midnight, as I wasn't able to return home before the date set (thankfully I made it home when I did, arrivals into my state now have to go into govt quarantine at designated hotels). I am not allowed to go anywhere or have any visitors. So I have been keeping myself busy cleaning out cupboards, catching up on reading, shows,etc. I have been walking loops around the house and if I have had a particularly lazy day do some slow walking on the treadmill. Won't be long before I can walk at my usual speed.

Mental health wise, been having lots of chats with family and friends.

What about yourself?

Re Doing my offices! And waiting to see if the Governor considers Botty calls a essential service!

Just ignore food and keep busy

I have found the opposite. I'm able to have a much more structured eating plan when I'm at home, more so than at work. I can eat when I need to and I always have the right foods available at home. At work, my eating schedule is erratic, and I will admit that I occasionally grab things on the run that I really shouldn't be eating. I've actually lost a few pounds since isolation began.

tracking all my food to make sure I'm OK calorie-wise and getting some exercise every day - even if it's just walking outside (staying at least six feet away from others, of course...)

I’m enjoying the honeymoon phase where I’m not hungry. 4 weeks post op and I love it!!!
I’ll eat as less as I can as long as I can, that’s fine with me honey. Protein Shakes it is!

I'm 1 1/2 years out. At my goal weight, so maintaining. Need to watch what I eat and get out and walk. Stay safe everyone.

This is exactly what I am trying to avoid happening before I even reach my goal!! I have been purposely trying to eat less and go outside for a few minutes of exercise daily.
