I’m almost two years into this, down 92 lb, and the last four months have been a tug-of-war with the same five-pound window. I used to knock out a 5k after work.
Now my knees and lungs act like it’s a brand-new sport. I lift three days, walk about 8k steps, get around 110g protein, and sleep is mediocre at best.
The weight isn’t really moving, but I can feel my patience grinding. Has anyone rebuilt their cardio without turning every session into a recovery project?
