Covid-19 #StayHome Day34?

Hey y’all! Days seem to be both running together and dragging on. I genuinely don’t know how long it has been and Math is for Blockers (comment if you know the reference!). I miss going to the gym- way more than I ever thought I would. I miss being able to go grocery shopping without worrying about the health and safety of myself and my family. However, I am adhering to my local government’s guidance and not going out without a face covering and/or just generally not going out at all. I do still go for a walk every day that it is not raining and it has been raining a ton the last few days.

So, I’ve been coming up with creative ways to entertain myself. I did my makeup a couple of times, I put magnetic sticker paper on my cabinet’s wall and magnets on the back of my MAC eyeshadows and now they’re sticking to the wall.

I have been doing my makeup more often and I tried a new look the other day.

I also found some time to film! (Yay!) and seeing as how I am a total masochist, I started a new YouTube channel to share my other favorite new (or old, depending on how you look at it) hobby: Magic: The Gathering. I filmed my first video about the “Fetchlands” Secret Lair product, which was basically a reaction to the price, YouTuber “Unsleeved Media,” and people on Twitter. I’m really excited about it.

I have been playing- apparently a lot?

I also filmed my next Lululemon haul video, featuring basically everything I got since the last haul! I have not yet edited it. I plan to do so as soon as I have a few free hours! Free hours, however, being difficult to come by, I might not get to it for a few days.

Anyways, in addition to decluttering my makeup and t-shirt drawers, I have been spending most of my time with my baby. She is adorable, in my opinion, of course, and she sort of says “hi,” when people walk in the room. It’s funny. It sound like “ah,” but it is an intentional greeting and the closest she comes to saying anything at all. I can’t wait til she starts talking for real!

I hope y’all are taking care of you & yours. Tell me how you’re doing in the comments or reach out to me on Twitter @LululemonExpert , always happy to have a chat!

Life Update: Where I’ve Been & What I’ve been doing

I guess this whole blog is kind of full of “life updates” from me. It’s basically where I share what’s been going on in my life.

I’ve fallen far behind on my logging my meals on here. It gets tedious, honestly, and I imagine they’re equally as boring to read. My goal was to be as open as possible with how I lose my weight. I feel like I met that goal. The last 15 or so pounds will come off in a similar way with a little more movement. The first thing I’ll say is that I have not given up and I am still losing weight albeit slowly. Last update I wrote here, I weighed 168.5, today I weigh 162.5. This is a 6 pound loss over about 3 months- ish. I had a 6 week plateau in there and I just recently started losing again, but that’s how weight loss works sometimes. I also recently started jogging again and am planning to run a 5k in mid-May, as long as it doesn’t get cancelled.

On to that now. Of course, the Covid-19 virus is affecting me, my family and how we live our day to day lives. My uncle-in-law has cancelled plans to visit his elderly (90 year-old) parents due to a fellow competitor in a tournament sending an email indicating that he had been identified as having Coronavirus, only to discover later that it was a hoax and that the guy just thought it would be ‘funny’ to say that he had it. My in-laws have had to cancel travel, important meetings, etc… My husband is working from home for the foreseeable future. I am dealing with some of the most debilitating anxiety I’ve ever dealt with. It is affecting my everyday life, and my sleep is highly disrupted. I wake up at least once every 2 hours. I am having nocturnal panic attacks. And my day is filled with worrying thoughts. Thoughts about this virus and whether or not I’ll lose someone I love, or if someone in my family will get sick. I keep telling people to stay indoors, but, I feel like some of them aren’t concerned yet. I spoke to my grandparents yesterday, and I just can’t help but to worry about them. Hug the ones you love, my friends.

I know some of you also know that I do YouTube from time to time. I have absolutely not had the time for that. I had really wanted to go on VypLive, my friend @Vyyyper on Twitter’s YouTube channel. But I couldn’t find the time. I’ve been over here getting myself situated to stay indoors for as long as physically possible, as much as possible. Of course, it’s going to be hard, but going for a drive here & there and a jog once every couple of days is what I hope will keep the cabin fever at bay. Another thing: I have decided to focus my YouTube channel on Lululemon, much like my main blog at www.lululemonexpert.com. I hope this improves the audience experience. I have unlisted most of the other content on my channel after receiving complaints about x-type of content only being 2 or 3 of my 80 videos. I don’t want to get into specifics, and I truly did want to have a “variety” type channel,- even though I know it does not work for growth, as that is not my goal- but I also don’t want to disappoint people who discover my channel. So, I will only be making Lululemon-related content, or perhaps just primarily Lululemon related content. To be honest: I’m probably going to make other videos, but not make them “public,” since the actual goal of my channel for myself was to capture my life as well as helping people. And I can capture my life by posting videos but not making them “public.” And I can help people make good purchasing decisions by posting my Lululemon Hauls and collection videos. Or, I can just entertain them- which is also helpful in a way 🙂 I know that was long-winded, but it was actually a really hard decision for me to unlist a lot of my videos. I just decided that people knowing what to expect on my channel was going to be prioritized based on feedback I’ve received.

Anyways, I will be sure to write again soon, Thanks for reading, y’all!
