[quote=Anonymous]I think my cortisol levels are through the roof and my hormones are wacky from not sleeping from stress. I used to work out at a gym with a trainer and do weights. I actually think I exercise just as much time-wise, but it’s not weight bearing or as vigorous, and I think that made a big difference. Also, I got COVID in March (no test, but unmistakeable symptoms), so fully quarantined for weeks and when I emerged, could no longer run. I literally didn’t have the lung capacity. Not wheezing, just...impossible to take a deep enough breath to fill my lungs. So hard to explain. Before March, I ran 40 miles a week. As of August, I can run 2 miles max and then have to walk, and I’m thrilled I can do that. I was worried I’d never run at all again. Let’s see, what else? Oh, we finally could sit down for family meals nightly, which was great, except that meant I was eating a big dinner every night, when that was probably my smallest meal before if we weren’t all together. And there you have it. I gained about eight pounds since this all started. But I honestly don’t give a crap as long as I stay healthy. Perspective is everything. Plus, no one is making me wear pants with buttons.[/quote]
