I finally got back to the gym this morning after 2 months off. Just a light cardio and some strength work. Hoping to also get back to my 2-3 mile walks a few days per week.
I had my usual breakfast after the gym. However I’ve been much hungrier later this morning than when I wasn’t exercising. Weird 🤔. I surely didn’t workout hard enough to spike that level of hunger.2 -
@Yoolypr , it's great that you were able to restart some exercise - every little helps!
My little bike tumble last week seems to have jarred my back and sparked off my recurring back pain. My goal for this week is to avoid being an idiot, and keep off the bike until it settles down again. I'll do my best to do my two forty minute scheduled training sessions (week 4 of my Back to Fitness plan), but other than that I'm grounded! I'll do the first one on Friday and the second one on Sunday to give my back a nice long rest.
I don't think I need to avoid walking, though, so here are today's steps:

Exercise sometimes does Spike hunger disproportionately to what was spent. Some people strength some people cardio some people a little bit makes them more hungry than a lot or the opposite... Where would be the fun if we were all the same!!!
Bella I would evaluate your walking with respect to your back pain and make sure it's not actually having an effect because for many people walking can cause and exacerbate back pain and 15K steps is solidly in the very active category of a couple of hours of deliberate walking plus some daily moving around.2 -

Re laying off the walking, it’s the dog you need to convince, not me!
He loves his walkies! 🐾🐾🐾

I don't imagine that is going to happen.
That little cutie must have you wrapped around his little finger/toes.

No swimming for me for the next week as I had a hole cut in my left forearm for a biopsy on a spot….also 3 places on my face….they all are uncomfortable….I have to start using sun screen….I guess I will have to visit Richard Simmons for exercise this week….1

Oh Connie I sympathise! My husband has had so many lumps cut from his face, head and arms that he looks like patchwork! He has to wear factor 50 sunscreen 365 days a year (and factor 100 on his nose and ears). It's a challenge in the temperate English climate, let alone in the blistering heat of Florida!1 -

I am 70 and these are my first ones so I guess I am lucky!…especially not using sun screen and living in Florida!…I do usually wear a hat with a brim over my face….my husband is like yours!…0 -
Biopsies, 😰. One would imagine that modern medicine would have figured out something less invasive and painful. Have had a couple myself and didn’t enjoy it at all. I’m still bad about the sunscreen.2

Hope all is good, Connie.
I hate sunscreen too... But if after having a bunch of precancerous bumps burnt off my face a couple years ago I put it on every day. It tastes so terrible

You can’t eat it!….too many calories!2 -
Back to my neighborhood walks after a two month break. I especially enjoy passing this life sized longhorn cow chrome sculpture. The artist is Benini who lives in the Texas hill country. The owners added a pandemic mask.

That is when cool chrome bull! For sure the coolest one I've ever seen.
