A) sorry if we’re not allowed to ask our questions here. I can delete.
B) if we are allowed to ask questions then I’m just here to ask any thoughts on why walking 10k+ steps a day - including lots of stairs - and eating mostly meat, veggies, and rice for the last three weeks resulted in a gain of three pounds?
Thank you!!! I’m going to do this. At least for the next two weeks. You’re right. I should get it down on visible numbers. I’m actually not upset about the weight. I’m not overweight really. It’s just not normal for what I’m used to. I’m also getting older too so things are changing.
Getting older is a right bastard. Recovery starts slowing down, you hurt more, and start getting more prone to certain injuries. And most people just start going easy on themselves as they get older; it’s easier to sleep in than it is to get up at 5am so you can go for a 3mi run.
If you are cis-male and have insurance, get a blood panel to check your hormonal levels. Sometimes some of the effects that men feel as they age can be caused by a sharp drop in testosterone levels, and that’s a very easily treatable issue. That’s most often the case once you hit mid-40s or older though.
