I'm just getting back into it. Took a few months off and then the pandemic hit and then working from home, back to bad eating habits, drinking a little more than I should blah, blah blah. I started perfecting my round belly again. Gained 14 lbs.

Eating from home during this pandemic has actually caused me to eat better than I normally do when I am traveling and running through airports. I've been able to also exercise more consistently and have been able to drop 17 lbs so far. Cardio every day and some strength exercises and I'm feeling pretty good for my advanced age.

We got a peloton in February and have had a squat rack/dumbells/barbells/kettlebells for years so we're pretty well set up at home. We both usually do cardio 4 times a week and lift weights 2-3 times.
If I ever stop drinking beer it will probably show

Cardio, cardio, cardio.....I need to add cardio to my workout. I hate it. I have no problem going in and lifting weights but, I just can't bring myself to do cardio. The Cross fit work out is high intensity but, it still not enough cardio to lose the weight that I need to lose.
By the way - I hate cardio!

3 days on, one day off at the gym. Only stopped when it was closed.

I plan to get a cheap home gym for my son but I also will get on it.

I'm back down to a loose 36" Waist. I eat far fewer calories than I used to.
2 eggs and a Soy-sausage, for breakfast, 100 calorie roasted cashew snack, Salad and Veggie patty for lunch, and a granola bar in the afternoon. Dinner is a low carb veggie dish or occasionally a chicken breast or turkey burger. Fish/Shrimp for Sunday dinner. Eating less has been the ticket for me.
I still walk and work in the yard daily. The garden is cranking out a fresh supply of tomato's and peppers and roses. I have not stepped on a scale so I can't tell ya the weight. I feel much better than before.

Nice work Jimbo. It's a very simple equation, just takes discipline.
My wife and I blew it out the first two weeks but got it under control and have been eating salmon, chicken, lean red meat, veggies, qunioa, brown rice, etc. We have one cheat meal a week like pizza. I workout using dumbbells 4 days a week and get in as much walking as I can tolerate. I'm down 11lbx from Nov 19 and 6 or so from COVID era. Decided last night to make the extra push to drop 8 more in July.
