Graduated in 09, knew it was a five year deal lol

We dont have to play 20 questions though, eventually I'll say something here and you'll go OHHHHHHH or "hm, never really knew him"

Current: 5'10". 206#. 45y solid bourbon drinker

Goal: 180# with significant decrease in body fat. At least a 50% reduction in alcohol intake.

No alcohol since January 6th and 20 minutes of treadmill every evening at elevated heart rate (~120) for now. Also been eating more protein and smaller portions. We'll see how this goes in a couple weeks.

I know these look ridiculous, but have you tried a nighttime boot for your plantar fasciitis? A few friends have used them with success. Obviously you should do your stretching during the day too, but for stubborn cases it's worth a shot. You have to use them every night for at least 1-2 weeks.

I spend a ton of my time pursuing various outdoor sports and lifting when I can squeeze it in. That said, I'm 38 and spent last year laid up with a serious neck injury (that's what you get for diving in headfirst to BJJ at 37).

I've got 15 lbs I'd like to have off by summer, and I can't up my activity level. That means hard changes in diet and portion size. Oof, not excited.

I'm not an expert on anything here, but the two pieces of fitness advice that have served me in my 30's are: try to lift weights one day a week, forever. And reduce (or eliminate) alcohol intake. ( Sorry, TKP for that second one).

Well, I won't call it fitness. But, I have embarked on trying to lose about 25 lbs. I've done this before via calorie counting. I'm not really doing that this time around. It didn't stick, and was not my favorite approach.
I don't really have time to go to the gym. So, I've been trying my best to put down the fork. But, with that, I've also focused on keeping my protein intake up, hoping to reduce the cravings.
I've gotten a walk pad and do that for a bit at work (until I had an injury that has kept me from doing much of anything. Just getting back to normal after almost 2 months.)
I've been doing weight bearing exercises during breaks at work.

Part of the desire to do this is helping with my plantar fasciitis. Otherwise, just trying not to look like a pear walking on toothpicks.
