Indeed, my legs and arms seem to be aching a lot more these days...

8. Might want to get a blood glucose test; don't freak out, though.
Unexplained weight loss is a symptom. OTOH, it could be a million other thingsa, too.

Just get it checked as soon as possible and take care in the meantime.

Flu, maybe? Especially with the pain.

2. Are you drinking enough water?
It's been awfully hot here. I can lose 2 pounds overnight if my fluid intake has been too low.

3. What's your pulse rate?
If it's high get your thyroid checked.

10. Thanks, but don't worry yet. I'm still at 208... On 14 June, I was 222.
A little more than 3Lb/wk but it's hardly drastic.

I just need to keep it up.

But I know my arms have atrophied since February...

If now is my time, I am ready for it anyway.

7. Muscle weighs more than fat...

maybe your muscle mass is breaking down since you have stopped exercising.

9. I hope the temperature gets back down... Assuming, of course,
I want to continue exercising, and I do... :D

I just wish the world was a better place to live in. So selfish and greedy...
