I got my shoes for diabetics and started walking today, about 300 steps with about half carrying my walker. It has been so long, I'm not very coordinated...don't breathe while waling, LOL.

Holding one's breath is common when exercising. Once we realize it, we can change that behavior, and make breathing while exercising a habit.
Good for you, Ed. Sounds like you are doing better and you are on the way to that lawn mowing. Coordination will increase quickly as you practice. Like riding a bike.

I agree. I started a fast last night, and intend to go for more than 24 hours, which is supposed to encourage stem cell production, which improves healing. Exercise sometimes causes injury, so I hope to heal more quickly. My recent foot ulcer took too long to heal.
Congrats, and good luck to you

Thanks. I'm 74 and have been off my feet for about 15 years. I'm feeling good about starting to walk again, and it is a pleasure to "struggle." Been looking forward to this day for quite a while.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
