My adventure started about 16 months ago. Finally getting off my butt to take care of what I had been (very foolishly, I now know) dreading, I had my very first colonoscopy....at the age of 61.

Two years ago I was doing really well, physically and mentally. Got my weight down to 204lbs from 250lbs, I was walking or running everyday (sometimes I would run in the morning and walk at night). I was running up to a 10k on the weekends. Feeling great, loving life and everything that goes with it. Any problems that happened rolled off me like water on a duck. Then it happened.
I over did and hurt my knee. Nothing major,...

I know enough about nutrition (and have greatly improved my fitness in the past) so I'm not looking for advice. I do well with intuitive eating (sometimes I count calories but mostly I prefer not to and to use hunger cues instead, it's easier since my activity level and metabolism in different phases of my cycle -woman here- are higly variable) of unprocessed food (sometimes plant-based leaning, sometimes paleo-leaning, usually CRON...

With all of the shit going down in the world today, I have been watching and noticing that there is a shit load of combative attacks(sucker punches, random, targeted...)

I am very good on the pistol front, but under the Tuler distance(21ft) I have no current experience in hand to hand, and feel that is a very big hole in my defenses.

I am considering take Krav Maga at a local gym that KM is 90% of what they teach along with BJJ.

I am good on cardio as I have been biking...
