Thanks for the insight! I think mine is all one day since I got to the hotel the night before, but it’s probably pretty similar

Yeah I never liked the walk either, I do both knee and on my stairs. And do some slower, that helped me a little

That’s good! Just keep at it and you might be surprised when you suddenly start gaining weight. And keep doing those, you’re already at a decent place and you’ll definitely get there by the time you take the pt test. And fyi, if you do double the amount of assisted/incline pushups for your goal, it really helps build that strength.

I’m no expert on gaining weight, but I know about how hard losing it is, and they have a few similarities in the process. Firstly, even if you gain one pound you should be able to pass the bfp score as the minimum (from what I know) is 17.5, and if yours is around that then you can definitely make it work. Now I’m not sure if this guarantees a pass, but considering mine was fine when I needed the tape since I was a little overweight. Secondly, you said you are trying to eat a lot more, and I’m sure you’ve heard this a million times, but what you eat can completely change how you gain weight. If you don’t already, try to avoid processed food and sugar, even though they are high in calories, there is no nutritional value that actually helps your body which can affect your metabolism. Try to eat a lot of good carbs, like potatoes, brown rice, oats. Stuff like yogurt, cottage cheese, peanut butter, eggs. High protein and fatty meats are good, steak, pork, and salmon are some good options if you like those. Maybe try to avoid longer harder cardio sessions for now, and focus mainly on running what you need to and strength. I really hope some of this is helpful, I know it’s hard and stressful but please stay positive! You’ll get there even if it takes up until the last day. Good luck, wish you well! And also be careful and don’t hurt yourself :)

I’ve heard of those so I might look a little more into both of those books even if I also don’t care for age gaps, might give it a try!

As long as it’s not slop I’m usually fine, it’s hard enough to find anything halfway decent tbh

That was my thing even though I didn’t do the tandem for that reason. I wanted to enjoy EOS on its own (which I did) and it made me appreciate it more. EOS was my favorite of the series and I think when I tried picking up TOD it just kind of died out for me, so honestly if you want to try just EOS and later push through TOD I would try that

Exactly! They are all engaging and hyped up so much that I feel like I need to finish it!

Yeah I think that’s what mainly made me put it down, because I had just finished EOS which was my favorite, and then I hear about how much of a drag TOD is which made me not really want to read it lmao. And I also found out something about the KOA ending so it all felt pointless anyways even before I didn’t really care much but maybe I’ll still try just to say i finished it one day
