Quarantine-15

Quarantine-15


And.... It's happened. The dreaded Quarantine-15 is starting to rear it's ugly head.

I'll be wearing elastic waist pants before I know it.

As you all know, I'm struggling with my weight anyway, so being stuck on house arrest isn't doing me any favors. The progress I had made at the gym before all this had happened was for naught as I wanted to absolutely kill myself this morning when I went to put on a pair of jeans and they were now suddenly tighter than usual... Tight enough that I decided not to wear them to work.

Good God.... I wanted to just cry.

I've decided to try something new tonight, beginners yoga is on my agenda. This should be interesting, I'm about as flexible as a tire iron.

Wish me luck!

    Fucking is definitely the exercise of choice.... But I'll settle for yoga until I can start going to the gym again.
Right!.... unfortunately the only fucking I have gotten lately is from life! LOL

    I'm really trying to. My birthday is in two weeks and... I'm feeling a little down about it as I'll probably still be stuck on house arrest with the quarantine.
i'll see what i can do, you may just get lucky...a couple times

    The only thing I would say is when your activity level changes it might be wise to consider changing the diet around some too. I know when I'm working full time I don't have any extra pounds hanging around for long. I'm on my feet all day though and am doing lots of physical work.

    You might find nuts are a good food to snack on lightly when you feel hungry as they are very filling and that tends to outweigh the supposed fattening effect. As long as you don't get into a habit of eating them when you aren't hungry and defeat yourself. Things like sweets and chips or other such snacks are best to throw out if you are having any concerns about extra pounds if they are a regular part of your diet. Veggies and nuts make good substitutes. Of course you want to be careful about not getting lots of salted nuts into your diet but there are lots of good options available. They're actually good for you too.
I'm still working so I didn't think it would be all that much of an impact on me. Then I realized, I used to get out and go places and do a ton of stuff that I now don't do. And, when I'm at work, I spend much more time in my office now, than I used to, so I'm losing activity there. I actually have changed my eating habits a little, anyway. My biggest downfall is carbs, so I've been watching them, from before the quarantine thing even.

It was an online class from the safety of my living room.... True story, I thought maybe I would be kind of sore when I got up Friday morning. Um... yah. The only thing sore was my feet. LOL

    I have it on good authority that yoga is really good for mind and body......apparently some light buddhist chant music works well too.

    Another big advantage would be that you can just wear yoga pants to work with a big shirt over them, no one will be any the wiser.....you can stuff your face and relax!!

    Otherwise, size isn't everything (thankfully!!)
Yoga pants at work.... Yikes! Definitely not work approved. LOL

Oh you're so lucky! Your apartment complex way fancier than mine. I have to drive to get to my gym... Not very far, but the fact remains I have to drive there. It's way easier to just say "I don't feel like going anywhere" when you have to drive.

At the gym, I got to people watch... I kind of miss that. It was kind of nice being able to just hook up the class on my TV and do everything in my living room. That way.... Nobody could see me making an ass of myself while I maneuvered into the poses.

    You just need to be conscious of why you are eating.

    If you can, go for a walk when the urge to snack strikes.
I actually don't snack or eat a ton.... The weather has been rainy and terrible, or I would totally be going on more walks. Part of my problem is hormonal as I've reached that age where I'm now peri-menopausal.

Did the yoga.... It was an online class. Even LESS flexible than I thought I was. This is going to take some time.
