Thank You.
I have actually lost a couple of lbs! I think it must be because I am forcing myself to exercise because I'm so ******* bored!

This is very problematic & painful still. Wish I knew what it was. But this is not a time for a drs visit
I am sorry you are feeling poorly, hungryraccoon. I hope you will be able to get to the bottom of it at some point.This is very problematic & painful still. Wish I knew what it was. But this is not a time for a drs visit

Yesterday i noticed that i'd started losing weight! (Even mom noticed it).
It might be happening because i ditched (any) oil,- not willingly: i just don't have an access to store-brand oily pickled yuba, which is a "guilty pleasure" of some sort for me. I'm also sleeping more than when i used to go to work and had to leave the house at one exact time. The most important thing is that i almost don't need any pills for digestion anymore: everything digests itself very well. My eternal constant bloating has decreased, despite that i'm eating tons of rough fiber. I guess, my guts are contented now, lol. COPD exacerbation has also decreased, and now i'm not that frightened as i was a week ago. But i'm still treating it (the exacerbation)...
One more thing: i think i'm beginning to feel hunger!!! (a good one)... I'm not used to hunger anymore: i haven't felt it in so long time, that i prefer not feel it. OTOH, the habit of eating just because it is time to eat, is something i would like to get rid of. People don't believe me when i tell them that i've been deprived of hunger for many many years. I haven't decided yet if i want hunger back or not (maybe it's not the best idea in this situation when we'll probably be starving soon),- so hunger can wait, and i'll take some more efforts on losing weight, hehehe.

I have a fitbit and like to do 10,000 steps each day. It's a beautiful day today. I live in a regional area, close to a quiet beach. I'm going to walk down there this afternoon.

Could you possibly contact your surgery and see whether you can have a video consultation with your GP ? That is what they
have put into place over here.
I spoke with a specialist the other day and she said that there was nobody at A&E! You usually have to wait between 4 - 12 hours now you can just breeze through.

I took a short walk this morning. I think I will try to do this every day but earlier than today as it was already getting hot! If I can make this a habit while I am off work, it will be good. Then I will get some fresh air and some steps! I will try to get on the treadmill later in the day as well.
O M G ... I didn’t even get 3000 steps in the last three days.

Are you able to go for a walk outside somewhere, where there aren't many people? I find a walk in the fresh air does wonders not only for my body, but for my mindset.O M G ... I didn’t even get 3000 steps in the last three days.

I haven't been getting near the steps I used to when I was working. I have really not felt like walking that much the last couple of weeks. Some days I sit on my butt almost all day and barely get 2000 steps if that. Today I did much better with my short walk this morning and I just got off the treadmill so I have managed nearly 7000 steps today.

Yes I had been walking regularly but then the weather turned and between the cold/wind and rain in just wasn’t up for it. And then there’s the not sleeping issue that adds to it. I should be able to get outside today though. Thanks.
The 10,000 steps thing isn't even scientifically based, I read. I think it was based on a Japanese marketing campaign or something. I read about something called Active 10 where you should be doing 10 minutes of walking but making it brisk and doing it a few times a day.
I'm going to go for my daily hour walk and try and do 10 minutes fast and then 10 minutes at a normal pace.
It is definitely cooler here, I felt cold last night as we have switched off our heating! It's still sunny here, though.

You are correct about the 10,000 steps thing. I read an article that stated that around 7000 is a good number for a "mature" person. I am not obsessing about the number of steps but it is somewhat motivating.
I'm hoping to get out for a walk today as well. I need to tidy up my flower garden and do a little weeding. I haven't been able to get mulch, so I need to weed. Things are blooming.Yes I had been walking regularly but then the weather turned and between the cold/wind and rain in just wasn’t up for it. And then there’s the not sleeping issue that adds to it.

Did my treadmill walk and should have 7000 steps by bedtime!
No walk. I worked in the yard and in my flower garden for two hours. That was plenty.I'm hoping to get out for a walk today as well. I need to tidy up my flower garden and do a little weeding. I haven't been able to get mulch, so I need to weed. Things are blooming.
Walk tomorrow, maybe.- Status
