I hoarded a couple of 25lbs weights from our condo building's gym, and I've been using those and doing tons of yoga and early morning runs to the point that in one month I've lost 5lbs, put on muscle, and now I'm getting back into the best shape I've been in in the last decade. I was working out every morning before work before this, but now that I can do it all way more often at home throughout the day, it's really starting to make a huge difference. Of course, going off the wacky about a month before this all started helps more than anything! #covidsilverlining I'm down about 7 lbs in just under a month and it's mainly due to not eating in the car during my commute. My eating habits in general are way better now that literally every meal eaten is at home (surprisingly enough I do not miss eating out at all). I'm going to start the couch to 5K this weekend and see how that goes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a bit of a false hope thing...I, too, believe being fit helps (obviously it boosts the immune system, etc.). But it isn't a guarantee. But fitness also is very good for the mental aspect of things and can be a great distraction and coping mechanism. There's some thought that that having too strong an immune system is killing some people by creating a cytokine storm. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/07/828091467/why-some-covid-19-patients-crash-the-bodys-immune-system-might-be-to-blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the small victories at this point! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested to see if those who used them as the example for easing up will admit that it's not working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaaaaaay up. They were good back then but they got too famous and it went right to their heads. They are very arrogant now but it happens to most of them, even Kermit the frog, he doesn't even go out with Ms.Piggy any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So odd question. With all these issues on toilet paper, do you think all new home construction is going to make it mandatory that at least one bidet is installed per household? I know it's going to take up space. But for the future it might stop panic buying of at least one item then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
