Milestone list from a long flat stretch - the honest version. Good: I hit my 4 lifting sessions every week for the last 6 weeks, and my squat belt notch has not moved. Bad: the scale has sat between 182.4 and 183.1 for 19 days.
My afternoon energy is still dragging, and I caught myself rationalizing a bigger lunh because I lifted. Numbers: 7-day step average 8,650; protein around 135g most days; sleep 6h40m. Nothing dramatic, just a grind that is not showing up on the scale yet.
I am trying not to panic-tweak everything at once. For the bodybuilding-minded folks here: when your weight stalls but lifts hold, what is the first thing you actually check - recovery, steps, or intake drift?
