This is hard
We are having a very difficult time. My husband is really depressed. Being a fairly extreme extrovert, sheltering in place is so hard for him. Add being furloughed and he feels he has nothing important going on in his life. I've tried to push him to do stuff here, but I'm afraid it's come across as nagging. We're both stressed. The up side is we are leaving tomorrow to go to my mom's. The state is lifting some restrictions, and we've been super careful over the last 2 weeks so we could go stay at her house and be fairly confident we aren't going to expose her to covid. I'm hoping a change of scenery and pace will help us both mentally.
My weight is up 0.2 pounds this week, which frankly I consider a major victory. I did go back to Lori (nutritionist) Wednesday evening. She said a lot of patients are coming in with 20 pounds weight gains. I stopped mine at 11. It may not fall back off, but I'm hoping that extra boost of accountability will help me. Look if I have to pay $75 a month to have someone look over my food diary, I'm willing to if it helps. My health is worth it.
You guys take care.

I feel bad for your husband. We are more introverted here so the pandemic at this point isn’t bothersome on that front. We are still working as our job is essential (or so they tell me). I have managed to get a few runs done outside. But today I woke up to 28 degrees. But the sun is out so it is okay. Today was weekly weigh in and ugh, it was a gain.up 1.2 pounds so your .2 is a win! I have to turn this around. Losing weight is so very hard for me. I am the slowest ever. I know it is age & hypothyroidism but damn it’s hard not to get down. I am going to work very hard to get it back on track. Maybe I need to see a nutritionist. Does it really help?
