Hi all,
Trig---Interesting on the Australian tenderloin---have never had it or even heard of it. But hey, for that price per meal, and if you like it, it's a great deal. Glad you got your bacon. I'm an on and off bacon person, but when I want it, I want it!
Lori---That is a new one on me---one way grocery aisles. However, I would think it could cause a build up at the ends of the aisles? SIGH---folks trying everything to make grocery shopping easier. Here many stores are limiting how many can be in the store at one time, and plexiglass shields seem to be going up in many places, at the deli, the meat counter and the check out. Y'know, it probably should stay that way. Thank God most winter flus are nothing like this one but seems to me we an learn from this regarding those workers who face the public all day long.
I know 2.5 pounds can seem like a lot, particularly when you're doing a lot of exercising. But I think you're right regarding water retention from a hard work out. Certainly couldn't be the carbs right?!
Seriously though, when I used to work out if I over did it a 2 to 3 lb gain was not uncommon. Gone in a day or so.
Jaz---I know I should not be shocked, but I can't believe they have three of you squeezed into a closet office w/all kinds of people dropping in and out!!! I mean, really?!?!? Hard to believe the administration can't find a better solution in terms of office space. Bad enough to not have adequate PG but then to just blatantly ignore all social distancing for staff on top of it is just....words fail me.
On the positive side, it seems you are gaining confidence from your trainers. I know what you mean when someone is always jumping into help. Ok at the very first, but then you just have to give a gal a second to do it herself.
Love that you came home tonight to soft fresh sheets, and hopefully, a full and replenishing night of sleep.
Nic---
How was your family Easter?

Oh, Lord love a duck, I have GOT to start making my own energy, be my own windmill, LOL. Period. That's what I need to do most right now. Humbled by how much I depended on the rest of the world to fuel me---I would go out and breathe in the world and that would stimulate me to do my thing.
I thought I was a naturally productive person, but turns out you isolate me for a month from the rest of the world, and I turn into a slug. So, I need to freaking STEP IT UP. In my attitude and my actions. We are blessed so far with our health, and a lovely place to sit this out.
And I think I better get a grip on this, because it's not going to be over soon, and I need to find more joy and less worry and sadness, and I need to do it under present circumstances. Because I don't care who's "opening up" where or when, I'm listening to the doctors and the scientists, and I think we have a long road to hoe yet.
But y'know, others before us have been thru years of fear and worry, under circumstances A LOT less comfortable than mine right now, and as a history major and former history teacher, I try every day to keep this in mind.
LOL, saw a great cartoon today entitled "Life in a terrarium." It was fun, things were going on all over this huge glass container. And it made me think how much CAN go on here every day, if I set my mind to it. And it's time I do.
Thanx for listening gals, so good for me to type that out.
