Back in the land of the living -- first exercise in almost a year

Success

Last year I had surgery, and early cancer was discovered. Long story short, had six sessions of chemo, which sucked. Now I am two months out from my last chemo. Steroids added to my weight gain from my already passive lifestyle and proclivity to eat my feelings. Put back on the nearly 60 lbs I lost from Keto. Depression and low self esteem ramped up, especially with the hair loss. Now I have about a half to quarter inch of salt and pepper hair. I have some eyebrows and eyelashes too. Time to build up my strength and energy. Lately the only exercise I've been getting is playing one of the guitars.

So today, I took a late evening walk. It is in the upper 50's, clear and beautiful. Twenty minutes. It'll do for a start. Want you guys to hold me accountable to walking as often as possible. I have no wind, my joints (ankles) hurt. I have to get myself back.

Thank you! I am not exercising as.much as I think I should. But I am also counting practicing guitar as a kind of exercise.
