-1lb since last week
Staying at home is causing more grazing on snacks, but I have been forced to try new ways to exercise. As a result I have worse nutrition but maybe a few new solid workout options.

My theory on the need for TP is whenever anyone sneezes, everyone else sh$ts in their pants.
Last week 184.4
This week 181.8
Was hoping that our oldest daughter was going to come home since the school she teaches at is shut until May 1st (at best) but she decided she didn't want to chance spreading the virus (she doesn't have any symptoms). I'm disappointed but I don't want her to violate her conscience). Middle daughter is sick and self isolating. She went to the doc who sent her to the ER who said they weren't testing unless you were bad enough to be admitted. So she has to take two weeks for a virus she may or may not have (her job is in home support for seniors so she clearly can't work if there is any doubt).
I came up with a theory about the toilet paper hoarding. I figure if this does turn into a zombie apocalypse, zombies who planned ahead in their prezombified state will now have currency to barter for fresh victims. Face it, we all have that one relative who you'd want to throw to the ravening hordes after being stuck in the house with them for two weeks, if the zombies have a couple of club packs of Charmin to sweeten the deal, Cousin Bobby is going to be shoved out the door faster than you can say "brains."

Been at work from home since Thursday. Mostly taking online training. Eating is not going that well, as there is just too much at home.
Went to Costco this afternoon. No toilet paper, no ground meat. We still have plenty of TP at home, and more kielbasa than you can shake a stick at :-) So ended up just getting some eggs, fresh produce, and some protein shakes. Been spending evenings watching zombie movies with the Mrs. In the movies, the zombies scream "brains" At Costco they were screaming "toilet paper" :-)

Will be eating somewhat better since sit down dining is out of the question for a few weeks. Walking was totally out of kilter. Only managed to do it a couple of times. Rain and cooler air wiped out yardwork.
Dallas County has put official limit, 12, on the number of rolls of TP you can buy. If it is a 24 roll Sam's/Costco bulk pack limit is one. Talked to several stockers at Walmart(s) who stated that it is not a supply problem - its a customer problem. Put it on the shelves, open the doors and WHOO****'s gone! Sam's was a wasted stop but it saw a miracle in the brief time I was there. All the registers were open!!
Stay Healthy this week! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Sadly, due to my boring social life as an older guy, I barely notice much difference in a quarantine world. Bar hopping days are long past - One exception is missing all the sports on TV, especially March Madness now.
It will be interesting to see the long term effect of people learning to live without so many things. Many businesses will be fine on the long term, but a chunk of consumers will decide they didn't really need that sport, bar, food, etc.
+2lbs from last week. I'm up about 8lbs since the holidays. Working out more probably account for 8 to12 ounces but the rest is more dubious.
Happy Toned Down St Paddy's Day - At least I could find corned beef and cabbage!
