Dieting Down- HARD!
UGHHHH!!! The joys of dieting down.. It’s not just for competitors anymore! Yes, I am hitting the diet hard for the next two weeks. I am trying to drop a few more pounds and drop my BF down prior to my surgery. Apparently I won’t be able to lift heavy for a while.. Ok, so I can do legs about 3 weeks after BUT can’t do chest or any overhead types of lifting for around 5-6 weeks. HOLY CRAP!!! I am really starting to develop some GREAT shoulders and back muscles and leaning out so I HATE to lose that!
I am hoping that as long as I keep my diet in check and stay away from the sugars and simple carbs, I will not lose too much muscle… I will also need to hover around 1400 cals to maintain, w/o any cardio… I am usually around 1200-1300 Cals per day when I diet down.. Day to day (maintenance) is around 1400-1600 cals.
The good news? I can do cardio after a week- just the recumbent bike and walking BUT it is better than noting!
I am hoping to have some new progress pictures taken in April so stay tuned!!
Cya!
