Title says it all. Too much time for cooking and eating and not a whole lot of ladder climbing. Not allowed to play tennis unless it's with someone in your household. Many of the parks are closed, including some dog parks. Very little recreational activities of the interesting kind these days.
It's all eat, drink and be lazy and it's showing up just above my belt.

Pants seem tighter than normal, these days the heroic thing to do is being lazy, how messed up is that?
Yup, me too. I had joined a gym the last couple of years and had lost weight, but obviously that gym is closed. Doesn't help that my wife is self isolating in the master suite, which has the only permanently set up exercise equipment in the house.
Cal,
Apparently lot of people over the world have gained weight over the past few weeks - on the Internet and social media, you see a new joke/meme on before / after lock-down weight every now and then.
So, don't be too hard on yourself. 🙂
But always good to keep an eye on it! 😉

3kg added in 3 weeks...
Had just got into a new sport a few weeks before it was all shutdown, which was helping me loose weight. Not a good time now!
However I found the zero offset on my bathroom scales can make you weigh whatever you want 😀

So have I. I'm one of those weird people who loses weight when I don't go to the gym which has been closed for over 6 weeks now.
I've lost 5.5kgs so far and my goal is to loose another 5kg if I can.
I'm not stress or boredom eating and I am walking about 30 - 35km in an average week. Food shortages and my wife have kept my eating in check as well.
Far healthier life style than I enjoyed prior to the pandemic, I hope to continue to progress after the current emergency is over.

hard to tell as, being stuck at home generally bumming around in stuff with an elasticated waist!
Ha, ha! Enjoy and stay safe!
Any chance you can get a chance to build the Mod-86 during the lock down?

with gyms and climbing areas closed I'm definitely losing muscle mass - kidney pads looking the same though
It's built. It's the putting it in a box that is the killer. I still live in hope but work has gone crazy and kids are out of school. Still got a mono vinyl rig up and running so at least some good has come from it 😀
I got a bad virus, back when no tests were available, and lost 15 lbs in two weeks. I don't recommend it. Still recovering a bit. It's been two months now and following the Mayo Clinic diabetes diet for a month I'm now down 25 lbs since March 1 and blood sugar is normal.
