My progress sometimes seems slow. But today, I have realized that I am part of the few that are losing weight in quarantine NOT gaining it!

Hello

So I have been going to the gym, lifting weights and losing weight before quarantine. Then it happened and I was stuck at home.

Since then, I have been jogging + doing yoga/stretching daily. And of course trying to stick to my diet. I got very frustrated as I kept losing weight at an abnormally slow rate. I would also lose a pound then plateau for a week or two then lose another pound and so on.

Today, I was chatting online with my friends and family. Who were comparing the numbers of pounds gained during quarantine. One actually gained 20lb!! In comparison, Not only did I gain nothing, I actually LOST 9lbs. Besides the weight lost, I can now touch my toes! also, my jogging speed improved.

Sometimes my progress seems slower than everybody. But then I remember that I AM progressing and that is all that matters.
