Diet and exercise adjustments

[mtbc]

This week I am in an unusual transitional period as I relocate to the US. Yesterday I stopped counting calories; I shall restart once I have settled better after moving, still limiting to eating 8MJ per day. Last spring I had mentioned weighing around eleven stone and aiming for ten. (An English stone is fourteen pounds.) I am halfway there and I now figure that, anytime I drop below 140lb, perhaps I can regard that as an excuse to have a day off counting that week.

My resting pulse is now higher, more like 80bpm than 60bpm, which may indicate that my short bodyweight workouts help it less than my cross-trainer time did, so, after moving, I may have to take up jogging or suchlike, sooner rather than later. I won't buy another cross-trainer while I am in a rented apartment and I won't use a shared gym before receiving a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

I think it's wise not to try to be too stringent with yourself while moving.

I hope you can get your pulse rate back down. My resting pulse is around 63, still. Despite not having worked out (really) since March. And I've managed to keep my weight down pretty well. But damn, I miss going to the boxing gym and rock climbing.

My resting pulse is now back down to around yours, huh. Maybe I was just stressed with the moving stuff or, more likely, the bodyweight workout I now do is more than I was doing back then.

That's great! I do think that moving is SO stressful, that moving from one country to another has to be incredibly stressful. Plus you don't have your family here. So I'm very glad to hear your resting pulse has dropped to normal!
