COVID - Everybody Got Fat

I've definitely gained the COVID-19lbs. I like working out at the gym at night but right now the gym ain't open then.

===> "In 2022 when we can hopefully go back into the 10 clubs still open in the country, are all the dancers going to be fat too?"

Maybe. When our clubs first re-opened in July, there was a lot of extra poundage on many of the chicks. but fear not Muddy. A few months of dancing and steady access to their drugs (and the cash to pay for them) usually fixes the problem. Most of the girls who I know who came back a bit porky are now back to their pre-pandemic sizes.

I watched Jersey Shore and all of the members put on the pounds and are no longer attractive to me, like the Situation’s wife or Angeliner.

You don't need a gym to do crunches, planks, pushups, burpees, squats, hip bridges, dips, mountain climbers, lunges, running/jogging/drills.

There are no excuses.

There's a strong tendency for people to gain weight as they get older. The metabolism usually slows down, but many people don't realize what's going on until the weight gain has already begun. And many people don't think that gaining 3-5 lbs/year is worth bothering about--they don't extrapolate 10-15 years down the road.

That's aside from depression and various other mental issues that a lot of people are going through right now, which can also encourage weight gain.

I lost 10 pounds in 2020. But I live in a warm climate. I've been bored on the weekends with little to do and eating out less.

Precovid I went to my 10 year class reunion and was one of the few guys who had neither gone bald or gotten fat. But I also didn't have kids yet and most of them did.

The 20 year was a true shitshow.

I lost 4" off my waist and 27 pounds. I don't drink at home, so I basically stopped drinking. No bad food choices sober.

I guess I haven’t noticed a general weight gain among the ladies but I’ve not been to a club in quite some time. Personally, I haven’t gained. Exercise and weight management are mostly choices. They don’t require gyms and are impervious to lockdowns if we take responsibility for our own health decisions.

it’s been a weight roller coaster for me. i WAS doing pretty good for a while after my covid experience. (i had no appetite then.)

I was actually trying to gain weight before the pandemic and shelter in place order so I suppose I got what I asked for. I just need to tone up.
