I love all animals!!! But cats just seemed the easiest to maintain growing up in my household. 
One of my clients was at a birthday party 
and there was a traveling petting zoo at the party. One of the goats 
was in the corner moping around to himselfā¦ so one of the kids came over to me and asked me if I could talk to the goat and make them feel better. 
Soā¦ I did. I talked to the goat for about 3 minutes ā¦ I even brought my little sister over to to to themā¦ and by the time I finished talking , the goat was trying to eat my sisters braids. Needless to say they were feeling better. They took off then and joined the rest of the animals frolicking around in the fieldā¦

Firstā¦ I would like to welcome you to the community!!! 
Secondā¦ Thank you so much for sharing your current experiences!!! This pandemic is messing literally everybody up. I have been trying to go for walks because at least that way I am able to get out of the house 
. Trying to commit to a ā new normal ā is Sooooooooooooooooo Hard!!! Especially when everything that we used to be able to do is legit no longer available for us to do. When I would get bored 
ā¦ I would jump in my car and drive to Starbucks or a bookstore 
and literally just read books all day and drink my 
teaā¦ or I would work on my laptop 
. But , I was getting out of the house and doing something. None of those places are really open to do these things like that anymore!!!
And I know it is even harder when you are used to going to school and physical lung walking to and from classes etc. and hat is not possible to do now either.
Soā¦ I really feel your pain!!!
What makes it even WORSEā¦ is the fact that all of this is happening during the Holidaysā¦ which doesnāt feel anything like the holidays at allā¦ everything right now is depressing on top of depressing.

This is a hard one in the beginning of the lockdown I was stress eating and I gained 15 lbs than I started working out everyday in my home and downloaded all these apps to plan my meals out and calories, I also started drinking A LOT of water. Then I went back to work which is a lot of physical labor and I lost weight and gained muscles. During the week I eat healthy
On my days off though? Video games all day, I also get fast food 2 times a month

Wow 
!!! You did really well!!! Because it is so easy to gain weight and just keep getting worse.
What sorts of exercises were you doing for your workout 
āā?
Drinking Water 
is a absolute MUST!!! I have been making sure that Dad and I stay drinking lots of water. So that is really great that you have gotten into the habit. Because most people are dehydrated and never really drink enough water to replenish their body.
What type of work do you do if you feel comfortable sharing?

Aaaahhh!!! Okayā¦ I understand what you mean. You have to do pretty much the same things day in and day out because your parents need your help with your siblings and the puppy. Wellā¦ please donāt worryā¦ You are going to get a chance to catch a break soon.
Are you on break from online classes at the moment???

First I thought about what parts of my body I wanted to focus on,
My stomach was the worst from all the eating, and my arms and legs got kinda flabby, and I wanted a nice butt, lol but that could wait
So 4 days out of the week I did different workouts for 5 minutes I slowly progressed adding more time to my workouts and less rest days
I mostly do planking, (so hard at first), bicycle crunches, wall pushups and normal push ups, jumping jacks, squats, stuff like that
