Yeah. After I sobered up I went through about 3 years of intense training (may have had a hyperfixation) … I was down to an A-cup, just lean muscle and bone. After a normal training session I’d get the greasiest half-pound double cheeseburger with bacon money could buy.
These days I look at a stick of celery wrong and put on weight :-/
Had a friend training for Iron Man. He’d do like 15 mile bike in to work (and back), 5 mile run at lunch, and swim in the evening. Dude would eat sticks of butter straight out of the refrigerator for lunch. I couldn’t watch.
Yeah, I looked like a piece of leather wrapped around a stick when I was training that hard. And I pretty much just lived on takeout
And yeah, 10 years later, older, no longer anywhere near that fit, and even as I train for a half marathon, it’s hard to shift my weight to where I want it to be for my race

Well done for taking on a half marathon!
I’m just trying to keep my old baby bulge in check, lol
