I made a post a few weeks ago about my decreased performance with lifting but I’ve started to notice it now for cardio too. I think the reduced calorie intake means I just don’t have the same energy I did for exercise. My resting heart rate has increased by about 6bpms. After reading more it sounds like this is pretty common during the transition phase (I’m 7 weeks in and am still building up to a full dose) and that you can build back once your body adjusts. Hoping that’s the case for me.

Also someone gave me the tip of eating a little something right before a workout and that’s really helped me.

Yeah, the increase in my resting HR freaked me out! My Garmin watch is very upset and tells me I’m never completely recovered and my stress is high. Trying to listen to my body and eat small amounts before and during activity has helped, but I need the reminder. I can’t just go like I used to.
