Not Wednesday but I am apparently UP 2 lbs after a week of over 25miles of biking and a 5 mile run and some weight lifting today.
I'm going to keep at it. Super disappointing I went from turning 40 being the best shape of my life to approaching 41 in the worst shape of my life. That's a slight exaggeration as I was over 205lbs and out of breath after one flight of stairs the day I decided I was done drinking alcohol about 11 years ago.
I had joined a rec beach volleyball league during the pandemic, had really hit the gym hard, started biking a bunch, jumping rope, and then I started a business as a climbing arborist so I was literally crushing PRs, and dropped down to 148lbs as I couldn't eat enough calories to keep up with my weight loss in the sun doing tree work. FF 8 months later and I gained 33lbs over the winter after not being active at all, sleeping a lot more than I normally do, and I actually quit smoking weed about 8months ago so not sure if that all affected my metabolism. I think I kinda swapped one addiction with another and am now eating WAY too much, and a lot less healthy. By my estimate, a solid 90 to 120 days of intense working out, cycling, swimming, calisthenics, HIIT training and some really solid eating where I need to avoid all fast food and focus on high protein, low carb with portion control and I SHOULD Be looking alright again. I miss my 8 pack abs.
