Hello Staraly! The deficiencies I am not sure exactly what causes them except for my iron which I've had most of my life. Wow, sleep seizures? That's a bit scary! I am glad you are moving in a positive direction! I feel like the more I talk with my doctor (I have been working with her since December) that I will finally…

Quite a few people and it's reassuring that so many people have had success even with these barriers, far more severe than my concerns. It shows that any health goal can be accomplished, which helps motivation. That's a fair assessment I think, with how my focus has been on one or the other rather than the middle ground.…

I'll take a look! Thank-you!

Thank-you for your response! Yes, going at a slower pace may have to be how I start again despite my lack of patience with myself. Knowing I've met my goals before has been a major source of frustration. But that's a mindset change I'll need to adjust to. I've read some on recomposition but with all I've read I've become…

I like the idea of putting the most intense cardio on one of those two day breaks. Right, trying to perform well at both will only lead to poor performance for both. Thanks!

Yes, I am aware that it comes with the territory. :) And no time table involved.

I've bumped up my protein goal to at minimum of 100 grams, but I'm struggling to get close to that level. But that falls to me to do more research on the protein the foods I'm eating. For example, yesterday I was at 81 grams.

That would be a great resource, so I'll look for them too! Though another concern I have is how to incorporate cardio into your weight training routine. I've seen arguments advocating for limited cardio and others not so much. How do either of you include cardio in your weight training - if it plays any role at all?

That makes the most sense since individual needs vary widely. Yes, I have been trying to track my calories with the information I have had. I'll definitely give that a go in terms of doing a baseline and then increasing as needed. Thank-you for the input! It's helpful to get the feedback from someone who has those cardio…

Thank-you for your response! Without exercise it appears I am around 1700 calories. This seems high to me, but what I am used to is much lower. So 10% - 15% would be somewhere in the range of 170 - 255. For the macros I've read that paying attention to grams is much more effective than focusing on percentages. Would you…

Wow! Again, thank-you for all the fantastic feedback! For reference, with my old job I ate about 1700 calories a day (without exercise) and adjusted my intake to about 1500 (again, without exercise). Walking/biking to work unfortunately isn't an option as my commute by car is about forty minutes. I can definitely park…

Thank-you for your comments! I also intend on drinking more water (which will also give me a reason to stand and walk around). I am on the second floor of my building, so I do plan on using the stairs.
