I don't really keep track of it (I am a mostly-stable skinnyfat), but the most recent thing is the local trail closed for maintenance (after I bought a cheap+geared ebike and rode 131 miles) 6 months ago. Just the section I'm near, blocking the village I'm in off from both directions and no clear set end date. Feels like some real Truman show shit. Before that happened I was at least doing something and did notice bike riding became significantly easier after the longest trip I made, probably gone now.

I also have untreated health issues (that is not new, and it's mostly not things that are likely to be fixed easily/at all except maybe some of the symptoms after long deliberation/trial-and-error) such as not sweating enough to stay cool, POTS (heart rate easily climbs, putting me out-of breath), lack of energy etc. (I'm also in a semi-rural area, shut-in)

Also poor sleep and probably cortisol, and I need to eat more vegetables though that varies a lot. And yeah I often eat too much (some of it is garbage frozen/canned stuff) and even occasional carbs/sugars probably stay for a while since I'm not burning them. I'd go for meal replacement for at least some meals if it wasn't so expensive (also online purchases/shipping), I liked the flavor of original Soylent when I tried it a while ago (I tried DIY powder for lower cost, I wasn't good at it).
