I'm in maintenance mode right now because I'm still trying to lose weight to catch up with my muscle loss from the hormones. If I eat enough to stay at the same weight with smaller muscles, I'll start to lose out on my strength to weight ratio. I haven't had much muscle loss (it seems) but I'm pre-empting the loss that is likely to occur given that my testosterone is so much lower than even a natal womans levels. I'm maintaining my strength by keeping up with my deadlifts, weighted pullups, and weighted dips 2-3 X per week. I get a long walk everyday, and some longer runs a few times a week. I'm mostly just trying to keep up with my friends on the weekends when we go on a long hike or swim. I get to swim rarely but I can still keep up with my c02/02 tables in preparation for diving/swimming at swimstitute. The river may still be too cold but I can test it. I will log my activities from the previous week just to get a practice of doing that. I really want to talk about diet because it has been my main focus but I want to wait until I have successfully reached my goal weight of 145. My strategy seems to be working for me but it may be another month or so before I can do a big post about it. I'm currently experimenting with a few minimalist lifestyle ideas which deserve their own post. That's it for now.
