Wow, Sorry for the momentary lapse in WORKOUT posts. I have been busy and only had the time to write everything down at the gym while working out. I knew I was doing something wrong and I finally caught it. I started to lay off cardio a little and reserve some of the calories and energy for weight training. After reviewing my caloric intake I was shocked to see that I was way below my BMR + cardio + weightlifting needs. I was barely meeting a 2200-2500 a day diet. I have focused on keeping my caloric intake up and increasing meals to at least 5-6. Part of the problem was not having any of the foods I needed near me when it was tine to eat. Protein bars have been my savior thus far. Protein pudding comes in second - only because I bought the powdered version. Started buying nuts and consuming a 1/2 cup every time a snack is required. From here I should be able to add muscle and lose weight again. The most interesting part of the diet issue is the fact that when I added the 500-700 calories per day my bodyweight hasn’tgone up any. I continue to maintain and feel as though I am losing bodyfat.
