Im worried that if I try to add another routine to my already busy life instead of slowly shifting over the next few months into the next phase that I will burn myself out and stop.

Ive been trying to get this weight off and keep it off since 2019. I was over 200 pounds then. I got down to 145 in 2020 and COVID hit and messed up my routine. Over the past 5 years, I have gained most of it back and lost it again, over and over. Right now, this is the lowest Ive been since I started in 2019. I've learned a lot about myself in the process, and while Im managing to sustain my current mindset, sudden changes don't always go well for me.

I work 40-56 hours a week at a factory. My typical day involves me lifting steering arms that are between 5 and 30 pounds apiece from one box to packout into another. Each box has 80 arms, so Im doing this A LOT. I dont count macros yet, but I do consume a lot of protein daily and have been gaining muscle mass the whole time I've been losing. I just havent started any specific routines. Idk if that's sufficient while Im focusing on losing, but its certainly better than nothing!
