Lowfat vanilla yogurt + peanut butter = Good Snack.

I’m sure this has been done before, but it was a happy discovery to me.

A few days ago, I was pretty bummed out because I had lost some hard earned lbs after not really watching my diet for a week or so.  The good news is that I had my bf checked today and I was down to 9.4%, which is the lowest it’s been since I decided to make a concerted effort to add some mass back in the fall.  Even when I wasn’t staying on top of my diet, I continued to work out hard, and fortunately what I lost was more bf than lean mass.  Hooray.  I’m about 8 lbs hevier than I was six months ago and at a slighyly lower bf; if I can do that twice more over the next year I’ll have achieved gains beyond my wildest expectations. 

Sort of bummed today.  My lower back is killing me after aggrivating an old injury.  I just wasn’t careful enough picking up 80lbs dumbbells from the ground for flat bench presses yesterday and felt a bad pull in my back.  Still really stiff this morning, and today was supposed to be a back day.  Was on vacation last week, which was nice, but it threw me off of my routine with eating properly and I’ve lost a hard-earned 6 lbs, so I’m feeling sort of literaly and figuratively deflated.  The back and the weight is the first real setback that I’ve had over the last six months, and it just kind of sucks.

 OK, venting helped.  Now back to it!!
