Went ahead, like last week and did the early weigh in feature this morning. Only a day early from the preset day.
Down 3.6 lbs this week . In response the app bumped me up 300cals/day .

Just lift weights faster. ![]()
Seriously though, I use a bike, and they are great for cardio while being low impact and decently easy to recover from. At least a lot easier than running.
Well im trying to lift faster
im never been a 60 sec guy regarding rest between sets . But at the moment its ridiculous.

Aside from fat, there’s a fair chance you’re dropping a ton of inflammation. If you went from a crap food diet to eating clean foods, your body is going to be far less inflamed as a response.
When I cleaned up my diet in 2023, I shed 35lbs without even intending to lose weight: it just fell off me. I ended up at my high school weight, and was eating what felt like a LOT of food: it was just actual real honest to goodness food and not some science experiment out of a box. Got the leanest I’d ever been in my life. Matt Wenning had a similar experience of dropping a ton of weight by just being less inflamed.
Wont deny that might be a possibility
15k plus steps today. Didnt feel like bike tonight.

Yesterday i begun training on a new responsibility. Im taking over keeping tabs on the fire suppression system in the plant im in.. making sure all the pull stations work. Flushing out the sprinkle system. Making sure the large pump that runs the system is working properly and inspection of all 100 fire extinguishers.
Ugh past 2 days i got in 35k steps dealing with it.
Also ive got new nickname on the plant floor.
