You said you went for a weighted walk - is it possible the summer heat is adversely affecting you? It takes me a few weeks to slowly acclimate, or I barf and wreck myself with even moderate workouts.
I donāt think so, Iāve walked 3 miles and back to the grocery store at 3pm a couple of times and havenāt had problems.
The walk was done in the am, only 85F. I didnāt start feeling shit until around 11am
You need a bus pass or a bike.

Weight on walks dramatically changes the endeavor in key ways (compresses lungs, increases impact to joints, increases muscular output) especially if youāre walking with 25 percent of your bodyweight + in the summer + unaccustomed to weighted walks/rucking + unacclimated to heat.
I could be wrongā¦ But I might be right. Either way, be careful and progress incrementally.

My man, I know you mean well, but that is a sisyphean endeavor.

agreedā¦
Iāve noticed, as Iām sure many have, that you like to drop these little nuggets as āconfessionsā because this is supposed to be a safe or flame free thread.
Thats dirty pool kiddo. What happens if everybody decides to break the rule and disregard the name and intention?

Binge watched 3 episodes of the second part of the 5th season of Lucifer late last night and laughed so loud I woke my wife up even though I was watching it in a semi-soundproofed room.
I confess I gave up after the first batch of episodes were released because Chloe was behaving like an irritating schoolgirl. I didnāt know they were setting it up so she could start berating God for fucking with her destiny and his relationship with Lucifer when He finally appears on earth.
It was genius. Pure genius.

My gym has like 10 Tvās scattered about that play the music videos for the music playing, it also has a big digital clock and I use that to time all my rest periods.
Today there was a group of like 5 MASSIVE people hovering over a machine, even the one girl looked juiced to the max, I asked them if they were using the machine and they said no. I hopped on and they literally moved 1/2ā oit of the way of moving parts while I moved my meager weight and continued to talk/use another piece of equipment.
So i finish my set, look up at the TV and grab the time. Sitting there watching these behemoths look at me like a little itty bitty snack. At this point, time is moving in slow motion. Iām ready to get back to my next set and get away from these people.
After what feels like an absolute eternity, I realize all the digital clocks are frozen. Who knows how long theyāve been frozen. I probably sat there for 8 minutes waiting on my next set as anxiety built

Itās supposed to rain tomorrow morning. I keep nervously checking to see if the percentage will go downā¦ it keeps going up 
After my daughter was born, I decided to get life insurance. I dieted down to 260, hoping it would get me a better rate and was denied for weight. After doing some research, it appears most companies want a BMI around 25 which would put me at 165 pounds. Looks like Iām going to get that Flex Wheeleresque physique after all, because to get to that weight, Iām definitely going to have to amputate a limb.

Squatting feels so much better when fat though
Yeah the extra girth helps in the middle. Bright side slightly less midsection helps with pulling in most cases.
It certainly changes your technique.
Good work on the leaning out mate. Saw that meme and it reminded me of a conversation I had last week. I was talking to some people at work last week and one of them commented that they maybe werenāt losing weight because their body was in starvation mode and maybe they werenāt eating enough !!!
Sure have another doughnut that is deff going to help you lose weight.
