Self Quarantined?

The world is surrounded by COVID-19 currently and I have so many mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I think people are overreacting about the entire thing. It's much like the flu, however, it's much more contagious and people can be a carrier without actually getting the virus. Many people have survived it, but there have been some who have died from it. On the other hand, I wouldn't want one of my Grandmas to get it, or someone else I care about that could have been prevented. 

I'm also extremely grateful to spend more time with my family that I normally wouldn't get. But, I miss my students and think about them constantly. I'm trying my best to come up with things students can do at home but at the same time, I don't want to overwhelm parents during an already overwhelming time. 

I am anxiety prone and have had a stomachache from anxiety since Friday when they closed schools until April. I'm trying to find things to fill my time, but with our vacation being cancelled (a tough, yet good decision for our family) I'm trying to focus on my workouts and nutrition; something I can control. 

I started a new program this week that requires no equipment (I was planning for vacation, but that isn't happening) after finishing a 100 workout program last week. I'm still working up a crazy sweat even without weights, bands, or an aerobic step. I love the trainer and I like the different moves during the workouts. Oh, and only 25 minutes long which makes it so easy to fit into my schedule. Especially my quarantined schedule. 

Now as for nutrition... This is where I have and probably always will struggle, at least a little. We made Leprechaun Bait to try an catch the Leprechaun last night (we were unsuccessful) and I may or may not have eaten too much of it in the last two days. Tomorrow I am going to try to actively make good decisions with my nutrition so that I can feel my best. I made a goal to lose 35 pounds this year and I really want to reach it! 

It's hard to be out of your routine, but making the most of it is really all we can do at this point.
