My Quarantine

fishonjazz said:
I weighed about 205 2 and a half months ago and started dieting. A few weeks into dieting I starting lifting at home and the gym and swimming and doing cardio. Did that for about a month and then hurt my back bad and took about a week off (kept dieting though). Then I started again for a little over a week and then got sick and took about 10 days off. Now I have been back at it for about a week.
I weighed 179 this morning! Lightest I have been since my mid 20's (I'm 43 right now)

I feel really good. Got my cholesterol checked recently and it was so low that the machine the doctor was using didn't even go that low. It went down to 150 and I was below that so that's good. (I think anything below 200 is good)
Blood pressure is great. I have only smoked 1 day (Superbowl) since December. Only done drugs 1 days since then (a little coke on Superbowl too. I went hard).

Not drinking booze as much. No soda, no fries, no chips etc. Lots of broccoli and smoothies (bananas, kale, yogurt, protein powder, hemp milk, berries) carrots, string cheese, Aussie bites, apples, chicken

Damn, 180!?!

How tall are you? That's pretty insane for your age to lose weight that fast when you arent that overweight (like borderline dangerous actually) and you seem fairly stout.

I find it more difficult to stick to the diet when forced to sit at home now and do nothing because of a lockdown.

My coping mechanism for stress and anxiety has always been eating, especially sugar. I've been losing weight for nearly six months now (35 pounds) and have greatly decreased my dependence on sugar. So far, the desire to binge hasn't come back yet, even though my stress levels are pretty high. You'd think a virus, an earthquake, cancellation of the NBA season, and my father being near death would be enough for one month. But who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Long story short, I had a doc appointment to follow up with my collarbone surgery today and now I need emergency surgery tomorrow to fix it because the plate popped off.

No!!! I'm so sorry. That's terrible. Good luck!

Meh, hes fine. Probably 10 lbs of that was water weight. And this is toddler level but if hes feeling good it's a sign whatever hes doing is working and good for him. If he starts to look emaciated, lose his sex drive and starving himself for results is when you get concerned (which you see a lot when people get gungho and take it overboard).

Woke up at 6 today due to an earthquake shaking my bed. Then, while still laying there an hour later another one hit

Took my newfoundland on a hike. He was running around like a gigantic dog doofus and then bam he somehow jumped right into a huge pit of the most ungodly smelly swamp mud. All the way up to his chest. 150 pounds of possibly the worst smelling goo on planet earth, 40 min from home. Damn near threw him out the back to let him fend for himself. Holy mother he smelled so impossibly bad. Then spent 2 hours cleaning out the car. Smells fine now but jesus that was some awful smelling mud.

Economies that rely on small businesses ecosystems will be devastated such as the travel industry. China was already the biggest foreign market to travel here. That is all but dried up. Complete towns will be devastated. Jackson Wyoming, were the working class already can't afford to live there will be greatly impacted. Wyoming will take a big hit from lack of tourism and tanking oil prices will hit the state very hard. Alaska is in the same boat. Cruise lines are on hold and oil is tanked. That state is screwed. Airlines will go bankrupt and then what? Sucks for the new Salt Lake airport.

We don't know what's coming...

Was in Moab last weekend and didn't see one single asian. Usually it is overrun with asian tourists. Not a single one. Was kind of nice but I get why it sucks for the locals.

Honestly you are an inspiring hero. I say that with all sincerity. I haven't been taking this seriously enough but what you are doing has influenced me to take it more seriously.
Many more people should be doing what you are doing imo.

I've been annoyed at work with a few people. One just coughs out in the open even sometimes in my direction. That's never cool COVID-19 or not. Other people are still trying to hand me their phone so I can see the funny thing they just saw on facebook. I don't want your ****ing germ sponge, thanks.
 
My take is also much more serious than some of you.

NJ is a ********. The fact that we are so densely populated, close to NYC (a lot work there but live in north Jersey), and have a high Hassidic population (they’re the ****ing worst **** them) ****s us.
