Thanks! For the well wishes, as well as the good advice ๐
Right now, I'm on the exercise bike daily for 1000-1500 km a month and eating MUCH healthier than I've ever done before, which is causing a fast but healthily sustainable weight loss as well as giving me a lot of energy and mental well-being.
When the weight loss starts to plateau, I plan on adding some (mostly upper body) resistance training both to speed it back up (as maintaining muscle burns calories too) and to avoid ending up too scrawny on top compared to the big legs the cycling naturally gives me.
Plus as you say, better to build up some resiliance while I'm still barely middle aged than to have to be REALLY up against it once I approach actually old ๐
Awesome man, looks like you have a solid plan! Wish you well on your journey.
