Silver lining from COVID ground for UA traveller: Weight loss

I feel great.I try to keep my calories to about 1500 a day and I walk like crazy....800,000 steps in may/400 miles plus....over 1 million steps in August/500 miles plus. I'm eating better, cooking more and having a 5 month "honeymoon" with my wife.
That's great news, congrats! I've taken a similar approach and almost down 15 pounds. Not spending time on the road or in Polaris lounges/seats has definitely helped I hadn't flown since Feb. 10 (knee surgery then COVID) but flew DCA-LGA roundtrip last week and enjoyed every minute of it, even got to see the new LGA western concourse on the day it opened! Stay safe and healthy!!!
