That didn't last long

*sigh*
In a minute I’m going to have to clamber out of bed. This means in two minutes I’m going to have to climb on the exercise bike and pound out 10 miles before doing sit ups and press ups.
I entered Lockdowns as a bit of a fat shit, I’m exiting them as an incredibly fat shit and it seems the entire world has an opinion on this - not least my nurse, doctor, and wife. *3 separate individuals unfortunately, which rules out sexy times.
Then, stretching before me, I can look forward to a breakfast of dust, a dinner consisting of flavoured liquid, and a supper that rabbits might object to for lack of imagination and variety. Then, at the end of the week, my access to alcohol has been replaced with an all-you-can-drink water option.
Anyone else having to or being forced to reconsider their lifestyle, meal and rehydration options? Make me happy and tell me that I’m not the only one being unhappy.
Having seen your scan I'm amazed you manage to lift yourself out of bed in the morning. It's not until you hurt your back that you realise just how many things you do everyday - and take for granted - uses your back. Even sitting still in a chair or on the sofa uses your back. Pushing car pedals with your feet uses your back. Even something as mundane as wiping your arse uses your back!Wish I could do weights, I miss them, yes they are boring on your own, I still have a set of dumbbells but no matter how I set myself up, I still injure myself and probably cause more damage. It's hard when your sensible lifting advice, from the consultant, is lift no more than 2kg, 2 bags of sugar ffs.
I wouldn't be doing weights in your current shoes mate.
