This, coupled with quitting alcohol every night (I still enjoy bourbon, but with friends!), and continuing to diligently lift weights 3-5x a week, resulted in nearly thirty pounds lost. I'm currently sitting right around 135# - my high school weight at nearly age 40! - and am going to try to stay in the 130s as I focus on building muscle. I may give updates later on this year as I hit other milestones, but I'm feeling good going into 2026!
