Instead of swapping cardio, which you enjoy, for weights, which you don't, could you tack on 1-2 weights exercises to the end of your cardio? Alternate them throughout the week? It would have have to be all cardio or all weights that way.

I like how you think - it doesn't have to be all or nothing! Now to put that into action...This is exactly why I'm here and put it all out there! Thanks!!

Hi gang. We had a nice day trip up to Maine yesterday, and had a nice barn tour at the Shaker Village. Traffic stunk on the way home, but it was a good day.
I need to start getting ready for my trip to Tunisia. I leave Thursday afternoon. Everyone keeps asking why I haven't started packing yet. It's like, almost three days away.
I've been eating more the last week, but not outrageously so. I'm thinking I may not have much to eat while traveling. Nothing I'll want to eat, at least.
QOTD: Interesting phrasing. Not "when we're you happiest," but "were at your best." I read that as being healthiest, or fittest, though I'm not sure if that's what you intended. I think I was at my best in my thirties. I was a little overweight, but not a lot, and was pretty fit. And everything worked, with all factory original parts.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
"at your best" - hmmm. In that case, I guess 50s. I didn't have WLS until I was 55, but I was pretty active even before that. Swam laps or did water aerobics most days of the week; ate nutritiously (albeit too much). Earlier decades - no. I was either pretty (or very) obese (late 30s and all of 40s) - smoked throughout my 20s up to mid-30s, and wasn't too active in either decade. I did say above I've been "happiest" in my 50s and 60s...and that's true. But with "best", I guess 50s - esp the last half (after my WLS). I've slacked off a bit the last couple of years.

In case he doesn't get back online to answer you--this is a family trip (with his brother and daughter). They are sightseeing but there is also a big focus on commemorating an uncle who died there during a battle in WWII. I am so sad I didn't have enough time PTO to join them--it looks like an amazing itinerary!
