I've gained about 20 lbs and definitely less fit.

Less fit because I go from working with educators all day to get through the hybrid model of teaching only to go home and work with my kids for remote learning.

As fit as before, however, that may change as I question the safety of going to my gym right now.

Looking at the results, the majority of people are less fit now that they were pre-pandemic. In this article from Time (https://time.com/5831678/covid-19-americans-exercise/) "physical fitness fades surprisingly quickly. It can also take longer to get back in shape than it took to get out of shape." Not surprisingly, people who are staying home more and sitting for long hours in front of computers are reporting an average 32% reduction in physical activity since social-distancing measure went into effect and, as a result, are experiencing poorer mental health.

I am more fit because I went KETO last year in November and dropped 35 pounds.

Wow, 35 pounds is a lot! Now the challenge is to keep it off, right?
