I can feel the inner drive prompting me to the next round of loss now-- my program's a cycle of lose some (slowly), maintain that, then lose some more; repeat. That means not changing the dietary program between these two cycles, but upping the activity level in the loss cycles. That puts the exercise into definite seasons and keeps the food from becoming a binge/repent cycle-- good habits more easily maintained and with a basic activity level in the slower end of the cycle to keep metabolism up.
A new workout buddy is heavily into the weight-lifting thing, so I may work those machines as well and keep the aquatics all aerobic.
Have to come up with some reasonable goals and parameters....
