As others have said, let yourself recover from illness first. Then, address the sugar. I will say, though, in my experience, the more you address the fitness, the less likely you are to indulge in the sugar.
I have downloaded the Pacer App and I aim for 15000 steps per day excluding any riding (45 mins on the horse seems to equate to 6000 steps). Mucking out, turning out, bringing in, grooming seems to equate to about 6000 steps so there’s quite a lot of activity needed to hit that target and it’s not easy with a desk job. A 30 minute run tends to add another 6000. On days that I’m not exercising, I lower the target to 12000.
So, my saviour is Joe Wicks and his HIITs. Doesn’t have to be him, but the HIITs have really sorted out my fitness. He does 15 minute ones, 20 minute ones, 25 minute ones in a variety of styles, including low impact, dumbells, kettlebells, fat burning, core, etc. They’re free on YooToob on Bodycoach TV. When you are feeling up to it, why not squeeze a low impact HIIT in a couple of times per week and go from there?
