    That's about right. How is your shoulder? Yoga helps some people.

    Calories out more than calories in. That's the basic idea.

    You can lose weight (assuming that's your goal) without working out (as long as calories out>calories in) but then of course, you would be missing out on all the benefits. I'd highly recommend working out especially for the extra calories, i.e. you get to eat more. Because food, glorious food.

    A good place to start is to figure out your BMR and TDEE and a good initial read/guide IMO is IPOARM. I don't have the link at hand but just search for it.

    Yeah, wheels might not be your thing. The universe is letting you know that you can do something else more "grounded."

    I would find a personal trainer in the area with a Corrective Exercise Specialist certification (CES). They can help improve mobility and strengthen your shoulders as well as help you improve overall body composition. I broke my pelvis and ankle in the military and my trainer did wonders for my recovery almost 7 years after it happened that a physical therapist couldn't seem to fix.
