With skiing unavailable for many of us right now, what are you doing to stay fit, stay sane, and counteract the temptation to eat comfort food 42 hours a day?
I'm lucky enough to have a pretty well appointed home gym, so I can lift heavy things several times a week, and I also have a fair amount of PT/rehab tools to use. I haven't been using any of it, really, because too much free time is the enemy of consistency. I also have plenty of time to walk and garden (and need to get my garden in order!), but again, very little has been happening. So I've just written up a schedule of alternating "lift heavy things" days vs PT/Rehab. I'm not sure if my plan is overly ambitious (aka not enough rest), but I think it'll be good. I do need to work on the yard and veggie patches as well, but I don't have a job or any real responsibilities right now, so I think it'll be okay.
As for the temptation to eat constantly - I got nothing. Our house is filled with food from our now-closed restaurant, including hundreds of eggs (maybe down to just about a hundred by now). I feel like that guy in Forrest Gump, but with eggs. Hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, deviled eggs, sunny side up, banana bread, corn bread, pancakes ... and when I'm done with all those, we have a few quarts of already-whipped eggs in the freezer. Then there are the pounds of chocolate chips, cured meats, raw meats (mostly beef and pork), and maybe 15 gallons of ice cream ... if I can still get through doorways at the end of all this, I'll call it a win.
