What do I do now? Been eating healthy, tapered down my intake, and walking as much as a I can daily.
Going to try and renegotiate my profile for activity, but without the ability to lift or run I'm bummed. I'm supposed to be fully recovered by September, but I don't want to lose all my progress because of this.
I understand the scenario is rooted in me having been a fat fuck before, but I just wanted to make myself better and got caught up in this shit.

Got dealt a shit hand m8. It's only 2 months though, just eat at maintenance with protein goals met and you shouldn't lose all your progress.

>Army trained me to get a nursing license

I don't get what's not "real" about my job.

What about running, that's the area I was most worried on. I already had a right quadricep strain set me back this year and I saw it eat almost a minute off my 2 mile time.
Is there any way to maintain a run time without the ability to run or jog? I'm gonna try and see if my physician will let me do elliptical bikes soon.

Can you swim? Imho main contributor to cardio endurance going away is losing your conditioning,not so much a lack of leg muscle. Anything that you can do in your current situation to keep heart rate up at cardio levels would probably help.

He didn't get "dealt a shit hand" he's a fat fuck with no self control

Can't get my torso wet right now as it all heals. Not sure when I could swim, plus I have an abdominal binder.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I was a useless fat shit before I decided to join. I don't expect praise for going from being a piece of garbage to the expected standard.
Just in a predicament for having tried to make myself better. If I had known about this board earlier I would have lost it in a healthy way instead of whatever just shredded the most pounds off.

At least I don't have student debt.
Why are you so hell bent on working for a military that doesn't give a shit about civilians anyway, for a government that's a bullshit puppet show oligarchy?
Assuming you're U.S
>>42005303
Not OP but the benefits are incredible because our military gets a huge percentage of government spending.
Also the most sociable and fit americans are military. Everyone else is what you'd typically expect: fat, self centered, lazy, liberal.
>>42005303
Why do anything? I was up against a wall and I saw a path that only asked me not to be a fat piece of shit and study, and in return I'd get free school and a nursing license. The semantics of service is bullshit man, I'm no patriot, but I'm better off than a literal /r9k/ tier NEET on his way to an early death of heart disease that I was set to be a few years ago.

Debatable. I'll give you service members are usually fit to some degree just because of PT, but there's a bunch of autismos in the Army, I would know.
