I'm an introvert. So, my routines haven't actually changed. My kids already did online school. The only thing that has changed is how often I shop for groceries, and we also don't go to the park every Saturday like we did before the pandemic. My kids go outside and play still. They just stay in our yard lol!! Happy Mother's Day a day late! 💜
Im the exact opposite, I'm noticing under the stress of a pandemic with a 6 year old who has chronic lung disease and worrying that anything that comes into our house is going to accidentally kill her I've fallen into old disordered habits to cope. 20 years recovered, and I feel like im right back to where I was from 16-23. Its really hard to get help.... especially when I was so embarrassed about it most people in my life don't even know this is a part of who I am. Everyone take care of yourself. The loss of control is real and hard to cope with.
if you feel so inclined, there are some telemedicine options that are opening up, especially for mental health services. might be worth looking into if you feel like you could benefit from them.
Really struggling with my mental health. I’m an extroverted introvert. I love being alone most of the time. But seeing loved ones in moderation does energize me. Also, I am a planner.. so having the unexpected task of schooling my kids was really hard to come to terms with mentally. It’s been a really long 2 months. I wish I could say I’ve handled it well, but I’ve shed a lot of tears and have yelled way more than usual which makes me sad and mad at myself. Trying to really take time each day to read my bible and get into the right mindset to be the best version of myself through all of this chaos. Thanks for the little distraction during a crazy Monday!
Hang in there I am a Mama who hasbeen homeschooling the last 7 years! Yelling and tears happen! I am a planner to! It would drive me batty to be thrown into homeschooling. You will be ok remember each day is a new one!
Christine: “counting calories can be really helpful if you’ve never done it” Dave: “it’s demoralizing “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Took the words right out of my mouth. I’m tracking my calories after putting on the quarantine 10 🙁) have not worn real clothes in over 2 months and now I can’t 😩
My kids got me a cup/mug that says MOTHERS DAY 2020 The One Where We Were in Quarantine. I thought you would get a kick outta that being a Friends fan too!
Girl I wish I'd put on weight so I didn't have to wear a belt. Belts aren't a cute thing for me, they're a necessity. I've tried to gain and it don't work. I eat more but then all I want to do is sleep. I'm a mom and wife and I can't do that.
Can I just say I'm so glad to have a fellow Idahoan in support of CBD products! I'm sure you're familiar with the stigma CBD products have in Idaho, and unfortunately many people are denied access to these products because of people'e assumptions and ignorance on these products. Will be ordering with your link - Thanks mama!
My fiancé and I had an “ULTRAFEAST” where we ate everything we wanted since we had so many quarantine snacks and bad food. It got the food out of the house and then we were ready to get healthy. We’ve been doing really well since then. Good luck!
I noticed I started eating just because I was bored at home when all of this started. Thats why I am counting calories right now to keep myself at least a little bit accountable and notice, when I am bored versus actually hungry.
I loss about 5 pounds in tbe last two months. Hope Andrew's arm is doing better, i broke my shoulder last year and and had to it replaced. Stay healthy and safe.
Oh and that little puffiness when we wake up actually adds some youthfulness to the face, in my opinion. As we get old the volume of the facial skin goes away.
Thank you so much belatedly for wishing all women happy mothers' day! There are also many women out there who can't be mothers, thank you for including them. ♥️♥️♥️ The weird thing for me: I used to go to food for self-medication most of my life, and it took all my strength to not do it again during COVID. I actually lost weight, I am kind of counter-cyclical.
Random note... I was trying to get Tony’s seasoning,kept calling it uncle Tony’s to my partner. He was so confused at the store when he couldn’t find uncle Tony’s 😂😂 we now call it that too!
Has anyone else mentioned- I love that you’re wearing the waffle fry shirt while talking about losing weight! Prayers for a fast recovery for Andrew ❤️ I’ve been trying not to count calories, but eat 80% fruit and veg, if I want something I just have a small amount (like if I want Mac n cheese, I’ll eat like 1/4 cup with a huge salad with lean protein)
So I understand it's not for everyone, but I started a ketogenic diet the day after Easter, and as of today I've lost 16 lbs, that's less than 4 weeks of dieting! It might be worth a try if you want to get that little extra weight off.
Listening to this like a podcast and thinking „I need a Christine in my life“!! Love you guys and man, I’m with you with losing some quarantine weight so thanks for the tips!!
I used to run just to be able to eat anything I want, and eat I did. Anything and everything. Turning 36 kocked that ability right out of me. Go figure. I'm totally with you on losing a few pounds, let's do it! 👊
mamilenial same! At 35 I can no longer enjoy the post run donuts and ice cream. Packed on 10 over the last month even tho (according to my Apple Watch) I’ve burned more calories than in any previous month. So frustrating. Let’s crush these goals 🙌🏻
Maybe that’s my problem. I turned 36 in November. I’ve gained about 10 pounds over this past year 😭. I personally believe it’s stress related, which has messed with my hormones, which has slowed down my metabolism.
Omg yay I love that you are a biking family! My husband in the past 2 years has gotten into it big! Totally understand the drooling over bikes haha. He now has 3 all for different riding, I have a good solid one for basic riding but also need to upgrade to start going with him. So exciting! He gets comments riding all the time on how good he is for always being the biggest guy on the trail at 6ft 260. Since the pandemic started I decided no better time to start a health journey. I am down 30, and my hubs is down 40. You totally got this, just the motivation I needed today to keep plugging away!
I've been stay at home for over 7 weeks now. Five of those weeks I gained 13 pounds. That stopped last week. Changed mindset - back to meal prepping and healthy choices. First weigh-in to lose the pounds I'm down 4.2 pounds already. This situation has definitely changed a lot of our normal. Hopefully we will all come out stronger for the better. Hope Andrew is able to mend quickly.
I just love who you are.. you are real and down to earth and have so much to share. You could talk about anything and I would tune in and be glued to my monitor lol.
I was 171 in March and now I’m 192 I flipping cried when I saw my weight go up 🥺...this girl will work hard on her weight lifting to get it down as well as my stretches and cardio
For me, I’ve lost weight. Working from home has encouraged me to cook healthier and eat smaller more frequent portions. That run was beautiful. PS Happy belated Mother’s Day
Well I was doing pretty good until I got started on the Fiber One! I didn’t know these existed until watching your channel and seeing them and thinking I might buy one box just to try them! 60 boxes later ( over an extended period of time except for the one time I bought 23 boxes because they were on sale at Krogers)- oh man- after reading back my comment just now- I see my problem exactly! Dang these Fiber One bars! I say I’m not buying anymore but it’s like you with the Naan! My hand goes crazy and next thing I know, there are 10 boxes in my cart! Ok going to search out a Fiber One Anonymous! Sorry for Andrew’s arm! Hope it heals quickly for him! Poor guy!
My mother is not in my or my sisters life, its her choice. But gave our dad cook books for mothers day. Out dad loves to cook. He wants me right down you bread recipes so he can try them out.
I live with my daughter and grandson and Jonah had a hair line fracture in his collar bone in May. A week later he went to school carrying his backpack on one shoulder but the pull of so much weight snapped his collar bone in half!
Girl we are all on the struggle bus right now. Making bad food choices, too much social media, too much chocolate and cool whip. UGH.. my routines are so screwed up right now as well and stress has been at an all time high. CBD def helps with anxiety as well as just smoking a joint. Psoriasis is autoimmune and you should tell Dave to eliminate all gluten, dairy and get his body more ph balanced, try taking a tbsp pf ACV twice a day in about 4oz of water. Good luck
We are that way with shows like Parks & Rec, Life in Pieces, and the Goldbergs. These are also shows that our kiddos will sit and watch with us too. They love them. They laugh so hard at them like we did the first few times around. Lol.
Whenever I kick my soda habit (Canada dry gingerales) I lose about 15 pounds. I was cutting back just as all this started, I decided to keep them around for now and I'll quilt again whenever I can go back to work.
OMG, you are so funny and one of my favorite you tubers. I retired in February before this all started and was figuring it all out before this started. Joined the fitness center in my small town. It was going well, then COViD happened. Last week I finally faced my fears and did a weigh in, Yep, gained 5 pounds. I love to bake , make bread, ect. That’s why I love this channel. I don’t run, too old, I try to do a 1.5-2 mile walk everyday that weather allows. This video struck home with me. My son ( he is 31 now) when he was young, broke his thumb, arm, and each time, I’m like , “you’re fine” ( I’m a nurse) . When he broke his arm(16) , he told the Doctor, my Mom always says I’m fine when I break a bone. 🙄 thanks for calling me out Eric😂
I appreciate your honesty!! Not everyone would be willing to tell all their followers that they gained weight during the lockdown...most would be bragging about their indoor exercise routines. This is true, I have seen videos about that, lol. I ordered some Crystal Light drink mix that you use and I am considering the CBD oil. I just need to do some more research on it. I don't know enough about it. Thanks for the motivation to get some of these pounds off.
The best thing would obviously a mask that fits from the get go, but in situations like that I recommend tying the elastic that goes behind your ears to make it shorter and the mask tighter^^ Because if your nose isn't covered, you lose half the reason to wear a mask at all
I drink so much coffee its ridiculous. I am in grad school and work full time overnights. Quarantine has been rough. I will say your videos have helped me to be more mindful about what I'm cooking and more creative when adding veggies to my meals.
Not gonna say. Word... but I hear you on all point even child with broken arm...had one of those....so good luck on the fitness....sunshine helps with everything...anyhow how about doing a video on what you read, what books you buy and what you borrow from the library, also your favourite reads and most memorable book...hay hope your feeling better...., nothing worse than being out of sorts
This trail run has inspired me. I'd been running, and had increased to about three miles. Then I started having some mild health issues, which set me back. So now, I'm ready to get back out there. What a beautiful run!
Two shows for you one the episodes are 22 minutes long and it's called workin moms. The second blacklist longer episodes but so worth it. Love your videos and glad I found your channel
I have gained 6 pound! And I 'feel' them. And i'm not as 'regular' as I was before covid. I'm adding hiking/walking with my dog more, and doing hiit ladder workouts off youtube, but not the same as the Y classes i'm used to, or all the steps I get in working at school...first week for me eating clean and purposely getting more cardio in.
I have lost 8 pounds. We have gotten take out only once. I have cooked every other meal from scratch or a box pizza. Also limiting to one Diet Coke per day and the rest is water. I had been thinking that eating out too much was causing weight gain and this has proven it for me. Also very few purchased cookies. Our new rule is that any treat must be made from scratch also. I read a while ago that people make much better choices when they actually cook their own food.- i believe that We have decided to keep going on the no eating out and see where we end up once the stress is lowered Great video- I hope Andrew heals quickly I like to watch really old TV shows like Perry Mason and Mannix, etc. They are similar to Friends for me
THANK YOU for this video Christine!! We all needed to hear this about weight and eating healthy. It was also really awesome to hear Dave’s perspective- Thank you again!! 🙏
My husband and I were discussing the corona-15 and descided to loose weight!! My gym gives lessons outside since today!!! So happy!!! So my husband and I will join you!!!!!
TV show rec: Derry Girls. It’s on Netflix. It’s a comedy about a group of Catholic schoolgirls from Derry, Ireland. The episodes are about 22 minutes long. Each season is 6 episodes and there are only 2 seasons, so far. It’s a really smart, funny show and brief enough not to challenge your ADD.
I've been eating way more candy than is normal for me. I normally try to not have candy in the household because I don't have willpower around it. But then at the end of March my husband had the virus, he recovered and bought me a big bag of chocolate as a thank you for taking care of him. Then I've been craving Starburst and it was on sale at the store. Plus yesterday for mother's day my husband got me a sharing bag of m&m's. Oh and my daughter made cupcakes for mother's day. So yesterday I noticed I was getting a zit. I very rarely get zits. I need to get off all this sugar.
Praying Andrew heals fast and you are accident free the rest of the year! Looking forward to some health conscious and tasty meals. We made fresh baked bread today as we are completely out and I’m still quarantined. It turned out amazing. My emergency pantry has held out pretty well. I am thankful I restocked two weeks ago, but my instant pot, air fryer and your tips are getting us by! :)
I got up to 170 or 171 in the beginning of quarantine now I’m down to 164.2 as of right now. I’m setting small goals so my next challenge is to get down to 155. I have a hard time losing weight no matter how much I exercise or watch what I eat. Good luck to you on your journey!🌸
My favourite tip for temptations: don't have them around and ask yourself why you are having it and with what healthy habit you can replace it with. Seeing the numbers for what they are is also a great. And if the mask is slipping, twist the handles once, it helps.
This time has been the most stressful of my life. Bought a house, moved to a new state, and finished nursing school all in a 2 week span. I'm dying a little bit inside. So I've been cooking more than ever. Which means eating more than ever and using the grocery store as an excuse to go out.
I looooove your personality! I just sit and watch your videos while I work, and I can't help but laugh at how you say things! It makes this quarantine stay at home teacher so much better!
I gained twenty pounds and felt awful!!! I am over six ft. And was just miserable. So I started to lose the weight...was then laid off but found a new job. Sitting all day!! Still working from home. Bought a under the desk cycle thingy. Like a cubi. And that helped!!
I finally finished my junior year of college and wow have I gained weight since starting school. I've decided to start a weight loss journey and get my body into shape. I want to get down to 160 from 235, and I know your videos are gonna help me with the motivation to do so, thank you for your content!
I actually lost weight 😂. Pregnant and still throwing up everyday at 7 months and now gaining only pregnancy weight. That’s awesome that you guys are staying active and working out!
I am 2 min into the video and I Totally feel your pain regarding loss of control on so many levels. I started intermittent fasting a year ago, on and off but since February more seriously. This quarantine is the perfect time for it. It gives me focus and a small thing I can control. I've actually lost weight. Please look into it. It's a lifestyle and it's very freeing to see results right away. Good luck!
You do not look at all like you’ve gained 6 pounds at all!! But six pounds is NOTHING!! Six pounds can just be “water weight gain”, also. (That fluctuates DAILY!!) One gallon of water (inside the body OR in a bucket or big bottle!!) = 8 lbs (on this planet!!) 🌎
I think the difference is when fit people mention small weight gain, is that they are trying their best to nip it in the bud before it becomes 20, 30, 100lbs gained and then it seems a lot harder to try and lose that. 6lbs of fat - which is likely what she gained from all the treats is a lot mass wise in a small frame! There’s no need to shame her because she isn’t obese.
@@dawnm5834 This is exactly accurate. I'm nipping it in the bud before it becomes a bigger problem, and on my frame we are talking about 5% of my total weight which is significant on anyone.
It's more about how your clothes fit. If she's having trouble with her clothes being tight consistently, yeah she probably did put on a few pounds and/or inflammation from a less healthy diet. This is speaking from experience. Right now I'm in the same place but it's stress from having to work in a high customer high demand retail environment right now while everyone else is safer at home.
Hey Christine. Love your channel. My mom was watching a video you uploaded and wanted me to tell you about some shows she thought you might like... leverage and psych. My family loved psych and some of my favorite memories of family TV time is from that show. Hope you enjoy. ALSO!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR CZcams AWARD!!!!
Look for a little shop that does crafts or sewing call and ask if you can get masks for your family and if there are any resources available. In my town masks are required to go to any shop or store.
Hope Andrew doesn’t have a lot of pain and heals quickly. I actually am focused on loosing weight and even though I bake things from time to time I haven’t changed my eating habits at all through this time.
Of course I am late to your ER visit video ..that's another story...but dear sweet mother, your oversized loaner mask was actually on upside down I believe, at least it appeared so since the "bottom" looked to be contoured for your nose. I am sure the mask was the least of your worries with the little one hurt! Mom's are Super Heroes! I am envipus of your runs! Loved it for at least half my laugh...RA robbed me of that passtime (who forgot to tell me your feet could be affected?) Yep, those joints are free game. But, you go girl.
I am a caffeine junkie. It's a horrible, horrible habit and I really, really need to quit (again)! I am an "essential worker" (I work in auto parts, nothing super great or interesting), so my schedule hasn't changed that much. My kiddo is a sophomore and doing distance learning, which has been quite a challenge while also working full time. I feel like I've really been pushing my limits lately. I've gained some weight as well, but I think it's probably stress eating 😳 When this whole thing started, I started panic cooking lol.
I can totally relate to the COVID 19 or Quarantine 15 or whatever it’s going to be called! But I’m with you, and I need to do better! Poor Andrew, my daughter had a buckle fracture on her wrist a couple years ago too from falling off the monkey bars at school. They told me this kind of fracture typically heals well though so prayers for quick healing for him!
Praying for your son a speedy and not so painful recovery! Also I wanted to tell you that there is a newer brand of shoes On Running shoes that people I know say are amazing! I love my Brooks but I believe I'm going to give them a go. Also would love to know of your recommendation on exercise equipment for a 10 year old. He love exercising and working out. He wants something but we don't have much room to put something big and bulky and not too pricey. If you have a recommendation on something please let me know!
I finally made it to the gym after years, three weeks later it was closed... I only gained 4 lbs, but without the lockdown I could have reached my goal weight by now. So I‘m totally in.
I'm trying to lose weight so I cut my calories. I'm doing intermittent fasting and Keto. I have over a hundred pounds to lose. Trying to do this daring covid-19 has been a challenge but so far I have been successful. I just wanted to tell you thank you for inspiring me. You are truly an inspiration.

I'm sorry. I know how hard those kinds of disorders can be. Stay safe ♥️
You say "cut out sugar" and I"m over here saying "I want to learn how to do cake decorating" lol
Practice on cardboard shaped like a cake, then you won't be tempted to eat it and it will save you the Hassel of making the cake. 🤗
I did custom cake design for 5 years and put on 30lbs because I "had to do quality control." Which means eating cake scraps and leftover icing, lol.

Christine: “counting calories can be really helpful if you’ve never done it”

Took the words right out of my mouth.
I’m tracking my calories after putting on the quarantine 10 🙁) have not worn real clothes in over 2 months and now I can’t 😩
You look beautiful when you wake up. You don't have any dark circles at all, amazing!
Oh thank you!
And even if she did have dark cirkles, she would still look amazing
My kids got me a cup/mug that says MOTHERS DAY 2020 The One Where We Were in Quarantine. I thought you would get a kick outta that being a Friends fan too!
nicole thoreson That’s the best! I want that cup!
I got myself flowers...but I got lots of hugs, i love those more
Since the beginning of March I’ve lost about 20 pounds. I have to wear a belt!
Girl I wish I'd put on weight so I didn't have to wear a belt. Belts aren't a cute thing for me, they're a necessity. I've tried to gain and it don't work. I eat more but then all I want to do is sleep. I'm a mom and wife and I can't do that.
Monk and Psych are the best light hearted shows ever!
Psych is so good!
I’ve been watching monk none stop because they’re playing the marathons!!! I’m so happy 😁
I've been watching those too. I love psych b/c even the serious episodes are so fun.
Monk needs to be revived
Can I just say I'm so glad to have a fellow Idahoan in support of CBD products! I'm sure you're familiar with the stigma CBD products have in Idaho, and unfortunately many people are denied access to these products because of people'e assumptions and ignorance on these products.

You should check out the tv show called The Good Place. It’s short, funny and full of puns and also has a good message behind. It’s pretty amazing.
I noticed I started eating just because I was bored at home when all of this started. Thats why I am counting calories right now to keep myself at least a little bit accountable and notice, when I am bored versus actually hungry.

I've gained probably 20 lbs during quarantine... my BP is through the roof! Not good. Starting over today 🤷♀️
Good luck on your journey to better health!
I had given up caffeine before this. I brought it back in during this stuff. Needed to.. coping the best we can. We will make it through this ❤️
We are all doing what we can! Hang in there!
We are all in this together❤
Ever since the quarantine began, I have been able to lose a good amount of weight through intermittent fasting!
Nothing like feeling like a "mom" on mothers day like your son breaking his wrist!!! Hope he feels better!!!
"Friends" is one of the few shows we can watch, too! We bought the full boxed set and that's our go-to when we watch "tv"

What's more helpful for the body is intermittent fasting versus calorie restriction. Would highly recommend looking into it! 👍

Girl we are all on the struggle bus right now. Making bad food choices, too much social media, too much chocolate and cool whip. UGH.. my routines are so screwed up right now as well and stress has been at an all time high. CBD def helps with anxiety as well as just smoking a joint. Psoriasis is autoimmune and you should tell Dave to eliminate all gluten, dairy and get his body more ph balanced, try taking a tbsp pf ACV twice a day in about 4oz of water. Good luck
We are that way with shows like Parks & Rec, Life in Pieces, and the Goldbergs. These are also shows that our kiddos will sit and watch with us too. They love them. They laugh so hard at them like we did the first few times around. Lol.
Baked carrots with a roast are fantastic. I’ve never had fried carrots but yeah that would be a whole new level!
Now that I’m in menopause, trying to keep weight off is so hard.
You are not alone, it has been a real strain on every household, im sure you are doing great!
Whenever I kick my soda habit (Canada dry gingerales) I lose about 15 pounds. I was cutting back just as all this started, I decided to keep them around for now and I'll quilt again whenever I can go back to work.
OMG, you are so funny and one of my favorite you tubers. I retired in February before this all started and was figuring it all out before this started. Joined the fitness center in my small town. It was going well, then COViD happened. Last week I finally faced my fears and did a weigh in, Yep, gained 5 pounds. I love to bake , make bread, ect. That’s why I love this channel. I don’t run, too old, I try to do a 1.5-2 mile walk everyday that weather allows. This video struck home with me. My son ( he is 31 now) when he was young, broke his thumb, arm, and each time, I’m like , “you’re fine” ( I’m a nurse) . When he broke his arm(16) , he told the Doctor, my Mom always says I’m fine when I break a bone. 🙄 thanks for calling me out Eric😂
A slice of bread with cheese is not sad. It’s fast and filling to get you up to bed ASAP. Sorry he had a break!
I appreciate your honesty!! Not everyone would be willing to tell all their followers that they gained weight during the lockdown...most would be bragging about their indoor exercise routines. This is true, I have seen videos about that, lol. I ordered some Crystal Light drink mix that you use and I am considering the CBD oil. I just need to do some more research on it. I don't know enough about it. Thanks for the motivation to get some of these pounds off.
The best thing would obviously a mask that fits from the get go, but in situations like that I recommend tying the elastic that goes behind your ears to make it shorter and the mask tighter^^
Because if your nose isn't covered, you lose half the reason to wear a mask at all
I needed this video so bad . I am totally feeling exactly the same way and you motivated me to get
Out of my funk on my eating 🍽🙌🏼
I drink so much coffee its ridiculous. I am in grad school and work full time overnights. Quarantine has been rough. I will say your videos have helped me to be more mindful about what I'm cooking and more creative when adding veggies to my meals.
Not gonna say. Word... but I hear you on all point even child with broken arm...had one of those....so good luck on the fitness....sunshine helps with everything...anyhow how about doing a video on what you read, what books you buy and what you borrow from the library, also your favourite reads and most memorable book...hay hope your feeling better...., nothing worse than being out of sorts
This trail run has inspired me. I'd been running, and had increased to about three miles. Then I started having some mild health issues, which set me back. So now, I'm ready to get back out there. What a beautiful run!
I love how real and chill but fast talking you are. You're probably a fun mom. :)
Poor kiddo - hope he feels better soon and the healing of the break isn't too stressing for you guys.
I’m an introvert so staying in has been pretty great for me. My anxiety has really lessened.
I like it. I have a great excuse not to visit. Lol
Two shows for you one the episodes are 22 minutes long and it's called workin moms. The second blacklist longer episodes but so worth it. Love your videos and glad I found your channel
Friends is my favorite!!! I have watched it so many times! I love your videos! You inspire me so much! Hope your son heals fast!
Thank you so much!!
Here's to a speedy recovery for your son
Thank you!
I have gained 6 pound! And I 'feel' them. And i'm not as 'regular' as I was before covid. I'm adding hiking/walking with my dog more, and doing hiit ladder workouts off youtube, but not the same as the Y classes i'm used to, or all the steps I get in working at school...first week for me eating clean and purposely getting more cardio in.
would LOVE healthy meals, keeping motivated, to help me take these pounds off.
I have lost 8 pounds. We have gotten take out only once. I have cooked every other meal from scratch or a box pizza. Also limiting to one Diet Coke per day and the rest is water.
I had been thinking that eating out too much was causing weight gain and this has proven it for me. Also very few purchased cookies. Our new rule is that any treat must be made from scratch also.
I read a while ago that people make much better choices when they actually cook their own food.- i believe that
We have decided to keep going on the no eating out and see where we end up once the stress is lowered
Great video- I hope Andrew heals quickly
I like to watch really old TV shows like Perry Mason and Mannix, etc. They are similar to Friends for me
Your husband began speaking a foreign language when he started describing that bike🤣
LOL! In all fairness, I did give a disclaimer on the bike stuff. ;)
THANK YOU for this video Christine!! We all needed to hear this about weight and eating healthy. It was also really awesome to hear Dave’s perspective- Thank you again!! 🙏
My husband and I were discussing the corona-15 and descided to loose weight!! My gym gives lessons outside since today!!! So happy!!! So my husband and I will join you!!!!!
TV show rec: Derry Girls. It’s on Netflix. It’s a comedy about a group of Catholic schoolgirls from Derry, Ireland. The episodes are about 22 minutes long. Each season is 6 episodes and there are only 2 seasons, so far. It’s a really smart, funny show and brief enough not to challenge your ADD.
For freezer meals I would like to see something different from the usual chicken,beef and pork. How about lamb, seafood and vegan/vegetarian?
I have a Salsa gravel bike and LOVE IT! Enjoy your new wheels.
Thanks! Will do!
I've been eating way more candy than is normal for me. I normally try to not have candy in the household because I don't have willpower around it. But then at the end of March my husband had the virus, he recovered and bought me a big bag of chocolate as a thank you for taking care of him. Then I've been craving Starburst and it was on sale at the store. Plus yesterday for mother's day my husband got me a sharing bag of m&m's. Oh and my daughter made cupcakes for mother's day. So yesterday I noticed I was getting a zit. I very rarely get zits. I need to get off all this sugar.
Praying Andrew heals fast and you are accident free the rest of the year! Looking forward to some health conscious and tasty meals. We made fresh baked bread today as we are completely out and I’m still quarantined. It turned out amazing. My emergency pantry has held out pretty well. I am thankful I restocked two weeks ago, but my instant pot, air fryer and your tips are getting us by! :)
I love your channel. I am glad you are back to showing your workouts and fitness. I would love to see vegetarian freezer meals.
I got up to 170 or 171 in the beginning of quarantine now I’m down to 164.2 as of right now. I’m setting small goals so my next challenge is to get down to 155. I have a hard time losing weight no matter how much I exercise or watch what I eat. Good luck to you on your journey!🌸
My favourite tip for temptations: don't have them around and ask yourself why you are having it and with what healthy habit you can replace it with.
Seeing the numbers for what they are is also a great.
And if the mask is slipping, twist the handles once, it helps.
This time has been the most stressful of my life. Bought a house, moved to a new state, and finished nursing school all in a 2 week span. I'm dying a little bit inside. So I've been cooking more than ever. Which means eating more than ever and using the grocery store as an excuse to go out.
Wow, that's a lot going on during this crazy time. Holy cow. Hang in there!
I looooove your personality! I just sit and watch your videos while I work, and I can't help but laugh at how you say things! It makes this quarantine stay at home teacher so much better!
I gained twenty pounds and felt awful!!! I am over six ft. And was just miserable. So I started to lose the weight...was then laid off but found a new job. Sitting all day!! Still working from home. Bought a under the desk cycle thingy. Like a cubi. And that helped!!
I finally finished my junior year of college and wow have I gained weight since starting school. I've decided to start a weight loss journey and get my body into shape. I want to get down to 160 from 235, and I know your videos are gonna help me with the motivation to do so, thank you for your content!
Your hubby has it right. I been on diets on and off most of my life. It is the emotion that gets in a way of success.
I actually lost weight 😂. Pregnant and still throwing up everyday at 7 months and now gaining only pregnancy weight. That’s awesome that you guys are staying active and working out!
Oh no!!!! Have you tried Unisom? It's one of the few things that took the edge off so I could keep the food down at least.
YES! I hate that I have no control right now! It causes me anxiety.
I am 2 min into the video and I Totally feel your pain regarding loss of control on so many levels. I started intermittent fasting a year ago, on and off but since February more seriously. This quarantine is the perfect time for it. It gives me focus and a small thing I can control. I've actually lost weight. Please look into it. It's a lifestyle and it's very freeing to see results right away. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing!!
You do not look at all like you’ve gained 6 pounds at all!!
But six pounds is NOTHING!! Six pounds can just be “water weight gain”, also. (That fluctuates DAILY!!)
One gallon of water (inside the body OR in a bucket or big bottle!!) = 8 lbs (on this planet!!) 🌎
yeah it is hard to see someone healthy and fit mention 6 pounds lol i just started WW
Ikr. Six pounds isn't necessarily indicative of anything yet
I think the difference is when fit people mention small weight gain, is that they are trying their best to nip it in the bud before it becomes 20, 30, 100lbs gained and then it seems a lot harder to try and lose that. 6lbs of fat - which is likely what she gained from all the treats is a lot mass wise in a small frame! There’s no need to shame her because she isn’t obese.
@@dawnm5834 This is exactly accurate. I'm nipping it in the bud before it becomes a bigger problem, and on my frame we are talking about 5% of my total weight which is significant on anyone.
It's more about how your clothes fit. If she's having trouble with her clothes being tight consistently, yeah she probably did put on a few pounds and/or inflammation from a less healthy diet. This is speaking from experience. Right now I'm in the same place but it's stress from having to work in a high customer high demand retail environment right now while everyone else is safer at home.
Hey Christine. Love your channel. My mom was watching a video you uploaded and wanted me to tell you about some shows she thought you might like... leverage and psych. My family loved psych and some of my favorite memories of family TV time is from that show. Hope you enjoy. ALSO!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR CZcams AWARD!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Christine you always look good! Thank you for the motivation to get outside and get moving.
Look for a little shop that does crafts or sewing call and ask if you can get masks for your family and if there are any resources available. In my town masks are required to go to any shop or store.
Hope Andrew doesn’t have a lot of pain and heals quickly. I actually am focused on loosing weight and even though I bake things from time to time I haven’t changed my eating habits at all through this time.
I love this video!!! Soooo relatable!!! You have such a great approach to cutting back! You are my favorite because you are so REAL!! 😃
Of course I am late to your ER visit video ..that's another story...but dear sweet mother, your oversized loaner mask was actually on upside down I believe, at least it appeared so since the "bottom" looked to be contoured for your nose. I am sure the mask was the least of your worries with the little one hurt! Mom's are Super Heroes! I am envipus of your runs! Loved it for at least half my laugh...RA robbed me of that passtime (who forgot to tell me your feet could be affected?) Yep, those joints are free game. But, you go girl.
I am a caffeine junkie. It's a horrible, horrible habit and I really, really need to quit (again)!
I am an "essential worker" (I work in auto parts, nothing super great or interesting), so my schedule hasn't changed that much. My kiddo is a sophomore and doing distance learning, which has been quite a challenge while also working full time. I feel like I've really been pushing my limits lately. I've gained some weight as well, but I think it's probably stress eating 😳 When this whole thing started, I started panic cooking lol.
I just love you 2! ❤️ Saying a prayer for Andrew. 🙏🏻
I can totally relate to the COVID 19 or Quarantine 15 or whatever it’s going to be called! But I’m with you, and I need to do better! Poor Andrew, my daughter had a buckle fracture on her wrist a couple years ago too from falling off the monkey bars at school. They told me this kind of fracture typically heals well though so prayers for quick healing for him!
You put on weight during quarantine😲. Welcome to the club🎂😷😎🌞
Praying for your son a speedy and not so painful recovery! Also I wanted to tell you that there is a newer brand of shoes On Running shoes that people I know say are amazing! I love my Brooks but I believe I'm going to give them a go. Also would love to know of your recommendation on exercise equipment for a 10 year old. He love exercising and working out. He wants something but we don't have much room to put something big and bulky and not too pricey. If you have a recommendation on something please let me know!
I resonate so much with you. Only down difference is that I have actually lost weight. Not gained. I think homemade meals in our house are healthier.
I also love how your wearing that shirt while talking about changing your eating habits.
Wow! That trail run looked amazing, I love this type of content from you for a change!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I finally made it to the gym after years, three weeks later it was closed... I only gained 4 lbs, but without the lockdown I could have reached my goal weight by now. So I‘m totally in.
I'm trying to lose weight so I cut my calories. I'm doing intermittent fasting and Keto. I have over a hundred pounds to lose. Trying to do this daring covid-19 has been a challenge but so far I have been successful. I just wanted to tell you thank you for inspiring me. You are truly an inspiration.
I love the running content! Just getting back into it myself.
I hope she puts out a lot of running footage to keep inspiring us, bc consistency is the key!
I love seeing your workout! I’d live to see more light and healthy meals.
