Hi,
I have been walking daily since March when the stay at home went into effect but have never participated in the virtual walking...don't know why since I usually I have something to say on some topic.
So let's both start and, by the way, 45 minutes on the treadmill is excellent .
I walk 6 or 7 days a week about 2.5 miles. Started back to 3 gym classes a week when they reopened
My usual time was 7:30 but now, living in Florida, the heat and humidity has ramped up significantly .
Now I hit the pavement at or before 7 am. I'm already sweaty on the way back but have gotten into such a habit that I still drag myself out. Taking me longer in the humidity and my time has increased from 40 to 50 minutes. Some hot days I m literally just putting one foot in front of the other on the way back.
In pre Covid times I would hop in the car and use the gym's treadmill and other machines . Except for gym classes I still leary of being near other sweaty people. We have marked off places in the gym room.
Met some new people over the past few months and noticed how many Amazon boxes were on the trash lol.
Will try to participate more because this is such a great
thread.
FL Mary where masks are now mandatory inside businesses in most counties..just today in my country...happy about that

ya, I understand.... for me I don't think the gym is a good idea I subscribed for 3 months and attended for 3 days only lol ...am not a gym girl
but after I had my liver transplant surgery before four years I gained more than 50 pounds and every time I visit the doctor he asks me to lose my weight which is so hard, I tried most of the diets, each time I failed and gain more weight.
last time I tried a keto diet and unfortunately I get the same result
I thought maybe because am not moving at all, my time is divided between laying in the bed or watching movies
I hope this time it will work diet + walking and some exercises
