New training program increased my resting heart rate 🤔

Self-care and Depression
Hey guys. When I feel blue (extra depressed/sad) I lose my ability to care about myself - ie, not logging food, not eating as well, not going for a walk or doing my PT exercises. My usual Christian practices lapse too & when I do pray it doesn’t help. Any thoughts on how to overcome this cr*p??

I put into the app that I did 130 mins of walking at a slow pace today and it’s calculated I’ve burnt nearly 500 calories. This seems very high. Is it accurate?
