I'm still eating voraciously, but I also started lifting weights 3 days a week so thankfully almost all of my weight gain has been muscle & water. I started to eat a bit more cleanly again towards the end of the week so hopefully that'll help keep the calories a bit more reasonable going forward. That also means cutting out diet soda, a bad habit I resumed when recovering from pneumonia (they're zero calories, but drinking them seems like it makes me more likely to overeat than if I stick with water & unsweet tea).
Cycling & running strength still feel decent, but I'm at the point in the training cycle where fatigue is starting to accumulate. Next week is a de-load week so I'm hopeful that afterwards my VO2 max will climb back up to its pre-pneumonia high.
