Hello all, am seeking some advice please on how best to reach the goal I have in mind. I've read some of the stickies but am still not 100% on a few things, so hopefully some of you seasoned ladies can assist :)
Quick background to help. I'm 33 and used to train several times a week, heavy lifts and cardio to stay healthy. I felt in good shape and continued with my routine because I enjoyed it. I then got pregnant and had a beautiful little girl in 2016. Cue a few personal difficulties that resulted in me piling on a lot of weight and ending up incredibly unfit and unhappy. It took around six months or so until I finally found the motivation to get back into fitness, and slowly but surely I'm now back to being confident enough to go back to the gym. Up to now, I've trained at home or gone running to shift the pounds. I'm now at 154lbs and feeling good, but I'd really like to challenge myself and build some muscle and aspire to have some great definition. I love the lean muscular looks of Erin Stern and Jaime Eason (who wouldn't?!)
So, long story short, do I have to start eating in a surplus to achieve this? If I train heavy but stay at current calories of 1400, will I just end up spinning my wheels and burning out? I'm a bit anxious as it took a while to get the weight off, so the thought of watching the scales climb again gives me the heebiegeebies.. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
