Good work. I've been taking it a bit easy on my weightlifting while I wait for some new shoes that should give me a bit more stability. They are on board to arrive today so I can go back to increasing the weights again. I'm noticing some nice body changes too - I'm maintaining the same weight, but am losing some size still, especially around the tummy - I actually have a waist that goes in instead of out! 🤣
My basic plan for now is to keep focusing on the weightlifting for a bit while maintaining my weight, then switch to maintaining the weightlifting level while I focus on diet and losing another 5kg, then go back to slowly increasing weightlifting levels and incorporating some HIT style cardio. Then repeat with an alternating diet/exercise focus, incorporating flexibiity/balance exercised, then longer cardio. By which stage I should be at a stage to just focus on maintaining both weight and fitness levels as a permanent thing.
It's been working well so far, I think breaking it down into achievable chunks has definitely been the right call. Losing 35kg and increasing fitness from couch-based slob is a massive undertaking, and it felt far too daunting to start when I looked at the whole thing. But 5kg? Seems achievable.
