I've lost weight but I'm not sure how much. Today I've had 1,110 calories, 170 carbs, and 10 grams of protein. Yeah I know thats bad. I moved around though. I went to the store and then all around the doctors building.

75 mins restorative yoga.

No other exercise these days as I hurt my foot trying to walk in sandals on high platforms. Darn!

I am feeling better, though, and trust that I will recover sooner rather than later.

I ate a donut yesterday and I was over a pound less this morning. You can still lose weight just from good old eating less calories. I had about 1440 calories yesterday. Today I've had kind of a lot of calories for this time of day (according to me) but I've also been pretty sick, so idk.

I've eaten 1320 calories today. But I'm super high on sodium. I managed to keep everything down after I threw up breakfast

I've been finding YouTube videos showing seated exercises for seniors and/or beginners. I can do standing exercises as long as I have both feet on the ground. Anything that requires me lifiting one foot while turning or twisting, forget it. And the ones that require lying on the ground are out of the question. I wouldn't be able to get back up again.

I also work out with dumbbells., after rehabbing a wrist injury. I can do 12 reps each of curl, row, fly, lateral raise, and press, with 10 pounds in each hand.

Oh, and I'm back to being able to touch the floor with my hands. I can *almost* perform a squat, and I guess I can call it a squat, but it isn't very deep.
Thanks for this!

I've had 1,125 calories today. I haven't been too hungry but I've legit eaten today. Breakfast was an apple, lunch was a pouch of tuna and a thing of sunbutter, and dinner was some autumn squash soup. Idk what actually stayed in though.

It is pouring cats and dogs. Everyone is complaining but me. I love this weather. I will put on my weighted vest, a raincoat over it, and go for a long walk.

That is impressive. Have you tried seated yoga? It is amazing how many food stretches you can do while seated.

That sounds good, when it comes to squats I’ve been told it doesn’t matter how deep they are so much that you hold the correct form (back straight) that pretty much goes for most stretches and poses.
Thanks for this!

An absolutely blissful restorative yoga session, 60 mins. I took note of the exercises to try to do them at home on my own.

I ate about 2,890 calories yesterday, and I lost weight. I don't know if I should be concerned or not. I threw up a lot though. My stomach is fairly calm today and I've only had 430 calories so far out of my 1240.

I've taken short walks (about 7 minutes) each of the last 2 days, and I'm planning to do the same today. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I've lived a very sedentary existence for the past couple of years and so I am disturbingly out of shape. So my goal is to do this 7 min. walk every day for a week then up it a bit to around 10 min. I'm planning to check in on how I'm doing both for accountability and to track my progress. My main goal is to be able to walk first, to one of my job sites, and then to another of my job sites that's a little farther away.

There is a YouTube channel that has the trainer’s mother working out along with her. The routines are meant for seniors and/or beginners. I fit both categories. Not only am I out of condition, but I’m close enough to being their definition of “senior.” If I can’t do the exercises the daughter’s way, I can certainly do them the mother’s way.

I am finding that the best workouts for me are the ones I can complete—but barely. There has to be a challenge in order to get any benefit.

I have a message to my doctor about starting Golo. I looked online and the price is decent. I'll see what he says. I trust this guy. More then my other doctors.

I walked a lot today, albeit at a slow pace. Part of that walking was done when wearing a backpack or a weighted vest. I also climbed stairs today.
