moufette123's Journal, 25 Apr 20

I can barely believe I lost weight! I may have lost muscle instead of fat (and certainly not water!) because I don't move around a lot these days and I work from home, but I'll take it!

I eat the same as usual: keto coffee + keto bar or eggs/bacon/cheese in the morning, some ground beef (also with ground pork mixed in) at lunch and/or dinner, some homemade snacks. Sometimes when my friend feels like buying take-out food I may join in and eat some pizza toppings, rotisserie chicken or chicken wings.

I don't understand my blood pressure this week. I had some low numbers, but I also had two slightly high systolic numbers (over 125). This morning, my BP was 131/82, with a higher pulse than usual! OK BP, but too high for a morning. I hope that it will get down tomorrow. I still take my medication and some supplements that are supposed to help (CoQ10 and hawthorn berry), not sure if they actually help but crossing my fingers that they do.

I went back to Costco yesterday (the Gatineau, Quebec one). The last time I went to a Costco before that was at one of the Ottawa, Ontario Costcos. Since then, nobody in Quebec has been able to cross over neighbouring regions (equivalent of counties) or provinces, so within Gatineau I remain.

In any case, I noticed that more people were wearing masks. I was still a bit stressed out because some people were coughing and of course those people were not wearing any masks! Our government keep telling us that masks are for protecting other people from the wearer; problem is, some sick people might be unlikely to wear a mask. Since we cannot trust other people to wear it (masks are now recommended in Quebec but not mandatory) masks may also be useful to protect oneself from other people! I have to say that I don't have a mask. I was trying to make one myself with old towels and scarves, but they are tough to breathe in and I can't sew. I ordered some professionally sewn masks, but delivery will take another two weeks.

And toilet paper is back at Costco, finally!

Sunny morning, no idea how long the sun will last. Keep staying safe people!

Nice to see your update. It is such weird times. Mask are becomming so normal. I have one folded out of a bandana with hair elastics that I put on if I go to a crowded place. I am lucky to have a small SaveOn near by that is virtually never crowded. Do you wear gloves. Have not been to Costco since this started. Do they still have nice supply. So far so good. I also saw toilet paper yesterday. Now I just want some yeast. LOL. Happy to hear about your weight moving in the right direction. I am good. I mean this is a bit nerve wrecking but beside from that... good LOL

It's hard to find masks these days! I'm coughing my annual seasonal allergy coughs, it's seasonal but I know I must be scaring shoppers off. It's caused by post nasal drip. I cough into my shoulders, but still apologize profusely for scaring everyone. Good going Moufette! You've mastered healthy habits!

I'm happy to hear you have toilet paper now Canada at Costco. I'm in Southern California and we definitely have a shortage of TP here. My husband d and I agreed to only use 4 squares per (I know TMI) and luckily we have plenty of wipes. The last tp I ordered was a really cheap brand and I was only allowed to order 1 pack of 4...I hate cheap tp)! But it is what it is. We get our groceries delivered by Instacart and also fresh vegies & fruits delivered by Farm Fresh to you so we aren't shopping out at all. I think the hubby went out twice to get 1 or 2 items but wore a mask but I haven't been out to any stores since this started. I use a bandana as a mask when I go out walking. I tried using the elastic bands with the bandana for my ears but I guess my bandana isn't large enough like it shows on You Tube. Anyway, stay well! 🤗

full disclosure. i hoarded. but I did it 3 weeks before the tp warning was raised, so I don't consider it proper hoarding. I'm sitting amongst my 145 rolls of toilet paper like king midas and his pile of gold!
