went running after work. to improve my condition.

except , there is no physical condition to apply the improvement to. Basically starting from zero.

also, it made me home to late fir dinner. Which may actually be the best part of it. N extra pounds to work off

Nutrition is important for fitness. Leaving out meals can be bad.

Not a problem for me. I should skip more meals. I think I could skip a few days without feeling hungry. Mind you I wouldn't skip breakfast and I wouldn't skip my afternoon fruit.

Getting older my basic metabolism is slowing but I never reduced my food input. . . . you can guess the result

I can relate to the Starting from Zero part... but not to the doing anything about it part.
