Top picture was taken in Sept, bottom left last summer, and bottom right was today. It saddens me that I have lost so much muscle defintion. I get it, the heart issues and need to change workouts but still frustrates me...trying to build back up is hard.

what have you changed since not being able to lift?

All pain,no gain, great question! I would love to say I'm watching my diet more carefully but I haven't done great since holidays. I do eat good meals but I've been munching on snacks more than usual. Still stay within macros but not as many clean foods as I usually eat. I'm still lifting but about 1/2 the weight as normal and not near the reps I'm used to. I've added 20 min on treadmill or elliptical but that's about as much stamina I can muster. I prefer weights and I know I just have to be patient...Dr said I may never be able to lift at level I was before...that was hard to hear

The reason I asked was because I honestly don't see a huge difference. I'm sure your eyes see something different when you look in the mirror, and you probably feel like you couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag. I think everyone who lifts has those days. Especially after taking breaks or slowing down -- for what ever reason. You still look great, and your doing what you can to maintain what you can. Keep at it. Best of luck.
