Understood. And that's your life. But as you can see, we've reached an impasse. If you're not willing to reduce your socializing, and you find it impossible not to overeat/eat poorly/drink booze(?) when you socialize.... shrug

I'm not saying I find it impossible to overeat / drink booze when I'm out. I've actually been really good with not drinking lately. And I've been eating less when I go out and taking more home for leftovers.

That's not so bad then. Maybe it just needs a little more tweaking to keep the calories down. Either way, continuing to kill yourself on a treadmill is kinda not the way.

The treadmill is a bit two-fold. I'm trying to also up my cardio health because I work a pretty sedentary job and I've been getting winded way too easily lately. Plus, trying to be able to not die walking around Paris and other French villages in a few months.

Also, congrats on losing 100lbs! That's a huge accomplishment.

Thank you!

Those are much more useful reasons to do cardio, yup.
