That settles it...

I've already restarted workouts and skating over the past two weeks... I need to start skipping meals again. Must lose the 6-7 lbs I've regained since mid-July... When those close to me begin agreeing with me that I'm out of shape and not particularly physically attractive, that's time to fully mobilize. No breakfast for me ;).

ow. Hope that it isn't mono...

My exercise levels average to three workouts a week, each lasting about 40 minutes. Some weeks more or less, and some weeks I'll substitute an hour of skating or walking.

Micronutrients... I have ignored. I don't use supplements, not even ordinary multivitamins.

The diary idea is useful, thanks :-). And I hope that your own appetite returns.

Actually, I hope it is the mono, in preference to an unknown and worse third thing (I think I must be counting zero for my dodgy knees, one for my thyroid thing, two for the mono, there :-)

I reckon that twenty miles of brisk walking per week comes out at 45 mins moderate exercise each day, or considerably longer of gentle exercise.

Even keeping the diary for three days, as long as you keep it properly, can be instructive. I analyzed everything which I ate in terms of macro and micronutrients, against a range of dietary recommendations. Fascinating, as well as revealing.
