You might stop losing for a week or two while your metabolism adjusts, as right now your metabolic rate is probably much lower than it should be. If this concerns you, don't jump up a full level and instead just add a few extra calories from good fats instead and keep increasing until your weight loss slows down to 1lb/week. Do things slowly... the body doesn't like major shocks like suddenly adding or reducing 500 calories each day.

You have to periodise your training. NOBODY on ANY routine can keep giving it 100% continually without overtraining. You MUST periodise. ALL good routines and all the top lifters (who aren't loading themselves with **** loads of drugs) are periodising. It may sound counterproductive to spend 2-3 weeks at sub-maximal weights at the start of a cycling period, but it works.

You also have to realise that you MAY be overtraining (it honestly sounds like you are). For one thing, while what you're doing now may have worked real nice when you were 25 and on lots of gear with a bulking diet, you're now older (which usually, but not always, means even less recovery ability) and are on a cutting diet.
