Still lifting 4-5 times a week and getting my cardio in out on the trail a few times a week when it isn't brutally cold. Got 5.5 miles in this morning.

But I haven't had any booze since December 31st. And the effects are noticeable. I feel friggin great.

Last summer, we went on a 10 day southern Caribbean cruise. My daughter and I went and climbed a mountain in Antigua, to see an old fort. That about killed me. Felt embarrassed having to stop all the time because I was so out of shape. I’m 6 foot and weighed about 219. Changed my eating habits, doing intermittent fasting and cutting out all sugar. Lost 34 pounds and down to 185 now. I hadn’t been under 200 pounds since high school. Had a lot more muscle mass then though.

I do cardio on the treadmill every night. Like somebody else said, a steep incline at a 3.3 to 3.8 pace. I’d like to get down to 175ish. I’ll be 49 tomorrow, I don’t care anymore about lifting weights anymore.
Sounds like you have a good cardio plan. Regarding your comment about not caring anymore about lifting weights, I would urge you to re-think/re-visit that thought. Lifting free weights a few times a week helps with overall core strength, balance, and metabolism control.
