Thank you so much Gabriel šŸ˜
I soooo understand. My back is really bad too. There are days I can not even walk, so donā€™t let my adventures fool you. Iā€™m not as fast as it looks like. And have to be careful with what I do. Canā€™t lift anything. Or even walk with a bag around my shoulder plus taking photos with a camera is a no go. Nowadays it is just one of thoseā€¦
Ok, Iā€™m a bit older than you. But learned living with a bad back. Had to sell my car (Classic Mini) last December as I just canā€™t drive it any longer due to my back. It was in storage for 2 years alreadyā€¦ me thinking it will go better. But nope. I am working at home for a reason.

Iā€™m glad you enjoyed my walk and photography from this great hike.
Happy to share my adventures.

Bless you, I hope you are okay and I wish you to get better with your back!
When I was younger, nothing would stop me from running, exploring, hiking and biking for so many hours. My back is one thing, my energy is like an old battery ready to die :( I have to slowly get into a new and better lifestyle to improve my physical health. My mental health has some improvements over the past year by the simple fact that I've moved countries and I am ready for something new!

Is time for me to buy a new bike and slowly get back into old habits, for a better and painless (less pain) living

Thank you that is very kind of you. My back will never get back to normal for many reasons, but I know what I can do and canā€™t do over the years. I had to get used to a different me and learn to live with it. It took quite some years let me tell you.

We do need to keep moving, that is a key. To get energyā€¦ Once you are stuck by just sitting down. Itā€™s going downhill. Try to get your mobility back, move around, cycle a bike. Good starts, to built up your energy again.
The pandemic hasnā€™t helped I so know, being stuck in the house for months in end. We are starting to get out again slowlyā€¦ building it up, bit by bit. Get back to a fitter us.

Good to hear, that you are changing your life. Keep going! šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘‹šŸ»
