Hey everyone

I know I been off for a little I been going through alot. My husband is being deported and then a big move back north. Then this crap with the coronavirus. I been trying so much to get back up and going. But it is hard with everything closed. But I wanted to get on and have a call out. So here we go...


How is everyone doing through this? Let's do a roll call and make sure we are all still here. I am here and as healthy as can be.
Who is next?...
 
I’m here MamaBear hope you’re doing ok ? Yeah this Coronavirus thing has put a lot of us out of order hopefully we’ll get back to normal soon . Glad you’re healthy so am i
 
Hey there Mamma. Glad you're healthy despite the chaos in your life.

So far so good here, despite living in NY. All my family is healthy so far too. :)

Today was my official "back to work" day, 8 weeks since my body contouring surgery. Fortunately I can ease into work in PJs since my whole company is working from home.

I have been going to the grocery stores a couple times a week which I know is risky but since my body is still weak and susceptible to incisions opening, reaching and lifting has to be kept to a minimum. That said, each time I get back home, all my clothes go into the washer and I jump into the shower so hopefully I'm being as safe as can be.

Stay Safe !
Yes, I'm doing all I can. I'm glad my mom is a snowbird, out of NY and in Florida. She's only 64 but had lung cancer a few years back and had to have a large part of her left lung removed. Her breathing is permanently compromised so this could be deadly for her if she was up here in the hot zone. I hope that it never becomes as bad down there as it has up here.
 
Doing ok here. Just had my first virtual dietician appointment, and that went well. Family is healthy and trying to be as active as we can with the restrictions. Hope things start to calm down for you soon!
 
I'm here, My yard needs to be mowed, but otherwise, I think I've done all the yardwork I can! We're all healthy.
We’re doing a lot of yard work as well. I’m so happy my 11 yo son can mow the lawn now!
 
We just got notice that schools are now shut down here thru June 19th, we are on stay at home orders minimally thru the end of this month, and I expect that it will get extended. I think that we are all in for a much longer haul than we anticipate... too many people are not complying. I will say that this confirms the reason I am NOT an elementary school teacher as I attempt to add homeschooling for our 6 year old in addition to working full time. I am glad we are still able to take walks with the dogs in our neighborhood, but I have seen SO many people standing with their neighbors chatting close together and not being social distanced.

Woo-hoo, I remember once my brother was old enough to take over the chore, my dad probably had a beer with him after. ;)

It kills me that some people are not complying! Complete ignorance.
 
I have discovered chalk paint... working on a couple smaller projects, but I have decided that I am moving on to my antique piano next... I may regret that when it comes to the detailed wood work.
 
I’ve been painting pictures and watching movies. I think I’m losing weight too slow lately only 1 or 2 pounds a week on my 5th month I think I should be losing more is this normal?

I think as long as you are losing, it is going in the right direction; could just be a sort of plateau?

I agree. And in these times where we are home around food constantly and also sedentary, loss will naturally be slower.
