@schulte Maybe it's the exercises you don't like or maybe you're not lifting heavy enough? I enjoy lifting because it challenges me. Sometimes while lifting I'm so focused on form and completing my reps cleanly I forget to count. There's no room for being bored. If you're bored perhaps it's...

@dawn16 You just don't like reading do you...

@dawn16 Re read the post and then reflect on what you just said. Particularly this part of OPs post.

@huk945 Went from 34E to 30E. So still proportional but definitely smaller. Definitely flatter and slightly more pendulous.

@communityguide Depends on your goals. Strength training, hypertrophy, muscular endurance they all have their place. If you want to lose weight and increase muscle definition you want hypertrophy which is 8-12 rep ranges 3-4 sets with 2 mins rest in between. You probably only need 6 exercises...

@markfred Rest up eat at maintenance. The faster you recover the faster you'll get to it. Your only job is to recover. If it makes you feel better you'll burn more calories healing from surgery than any other rest day.

@tr1n1ty A 200-500 deficit (and no more than that) should be plenty. So long as it doesn't impact your protein intake or your workouts.
