Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not burnt out on the exercise, I'm burnt out on dieting! I can't force myself to cut back calories to a point where I can lose any weight.
The exercise I'm loving and doing okay on. I do take time off, and much as I love running, I'm only doing it twice a week to give myself time to do weights twice a week and a HIIT session once a week, and then two days off. Okay, I cheated and did an extra upper body weights workout today instead of taking it off, but usually I take 2 days a week off.
I was just wondering if the improvement in performance and ease of the exercise I'd get from forcing myself to lose an extra 20 lbs would be worth the hell it would be for me to restrict calories at this point. Technically I'm overweight, around a 26 BMI, but aesthetically, I'm comfortable with my looks, so I'd be mostly trying to lose more for the fitness aspect of it.
