Lifestyle tips

The key is finding the sweet spot where I will continue to gain - just not at a 15lbs in 3 weeks pace! Long term, I want to get back to 260 and possibly beyond. I'm not sure what that timeline looks like.

Over the years my weight has yo-yoed. Every time I re-gain, I get a rush from seeing the numbers on the scale climb quickly. This time is no different. Being in my 40's, however, I figure it's better for my health to go slower.

Most certainly. Go slow. Keep your strength up. Protect your knees. Eat quality food. And above all, go to the doctor regularly.

The last thing you want to be is old, sick, and fat. Not a very good quality of life at that point. And even if you get down to a healthier weight, some of the damage is irreversible (i.e. the knees).

Slow and steady wins the race...so to speak!

I wonder if my gain will look different this time. Or if it will still mostly go to my gut.

I suppose there's only one way to find out.

I'm gonna find out!
