Amen to all said. I am going to take the week off, limit of to 10 hours a week and focus on my photography and hiking while staying at the gym. I want to shed 40 lbs but that is like 25 lbs of muscle, would put me at 190. I think though to make it permanent I would have to give up weights for 6 months cause as long as I sling the weight the muscle stays. It is in my blood so I won't quit. Like chosen I have had tons of surgery, last count I'm at 14 and counting.
I had blood work, been on the for 6 months now. I have sleep apnea and I am pretty sure my machine is shot so getting good appt at sleep doc to look at a more permanent fix.
