My Cut Phase
I am now exactly 1 week in to my cut phase and am feeling pretty great about it!!
I haven’t been as strict as I probably should to begin with, mostly because I think my body needs time to adjust. I usually feel completly malnutritioned the first little bit and then end up binging on junk food, so, I dedcided not to make a drastic change the first week, Taking in about 2400-2600 instead of the 2100 I am aiming for. It seems to be working though I’ve already dropped down under 195 for the first time in at least a year, probably longer! I’m happy about it. I am barely feeling hungry since moving to 6 meals a day. I just finished dinner, one piece of salmon, and a nice sized serving of mixed veggies and was FULL!!!! this is crazy for me.
I’ve been increasing the weight used in the gym, after realizing my slacking off(read the other blogs for the story there), and am seeing pretty good reults in the strength department too. I am benching 205 for 8 reps, four sets, and not having too much trouble, I think I’m going to shoot for 225, 6 reps next week but we’ll see how strong I’m feeling after reducing cals. to 2100 a day.
I will take more progress pics as soon as these tests/projects at school slow down a bit.
Any comments,opinions, etc. are always more than welcome and appreciated
