I am normal weight, although usually my natural body type seems to be on the thin side, so it's more than I am used to. At the same time, I am definitely out of shape due to all the restrictions we have been under. 132 days of strict quarantine last year where you could only leave the house 2 times a week for all reasons combined made it impossible to get out and walk. Now we only have lockdown restrictions on weekends and going out for exercise is permitted without using up the one weekend permit we get. So, I have been getting out for walks at least 4 times a week lately. It definitely feels good. For now I am walking a bit over a mile a day and will bump that up soon. I am also buying non alcoholic beers so I have cut down on normal beer consumption, which is probably good for the waistline. Non-alcoholic beer has fewer calories. I figure I just turned 50 and maintaining weight is supposed to get harder with age, so I figure I need to start making some changes in the right direction.
