    Day 56 of The Diet. Scales said “That’ll do, Raven. That’ll do.”

    Now it’s time to eat ALL the things move to a sensible maintenance diet for a while, and focus on my weights routine and building up some muscle. Then four more sets of 5kg dieting interspersed with maintenance/exercise focus. I think this is a good plan, breaking it up into smaller achievable goals rather than trying to do it in one go. Easier to maintain motivation and not to burnout.

      Breaking it up into small achievable parts sounds sensible.

        I think it is very sensible. Past efforts have usually involved trying to use the initial burst of motivation to lose weight quickly and do lots of exercise, which goes well for a while but is followed by burning out, giving up and putting weight back on. I think I am finally learning from my past mistakes🙂

          I’ve been there, my friend! Every exercise regimen I’ve begun has ended up the same, with me achieving little and becoming disillusioned… That reminds me, I can fit a quick workout in before work!

      That sounds like a great plan! I’ve lost focus lately and have hit a plateau, so gotta refocus before I gain it all back.
