I got my sinus issue cleared up and started running again but now it's too cold this week, so I'm taking another break. I've been compensating with extended calisthenics routines that are really pushing me at the end. Still not the same as getting outside for a full run but it is (hopefully) keeping me burning enough to keep losing weight, which brings me to another annoyance.

I'm having a bit of an issue switching from calorie restriction for weight loss to increased activity after three years of that. I've reached my lower limit that lets me maintain a full day of activity but I've gotten so used to these huge (but safe/sustainable for my previous weight) calorie deficits and just lowering calories when it was time to lose more weight.

Now, if I don't exercise, I don't lose weight and it takes a bit more effort (for me, anyway) to maintain exercise routines than to simply modify diet. Not eating shit or eating too much is so easy now. Having to settle for less than ideal exercise, especially when the mental component is as important as the physical, is trying. I enjoy running so much and have no problem getting out there. It's a real pick me up and for a bit was the cornerstone of my COVID-19 coping system.

Fortunately, it will be spring soon and I can really kick things into gear but the rest of winter is gonna be a slog.

Anyway, still way better than being the near 400lb immobile blob I was, so I'll quit bitching.
