Break Time!
SO I’m down a total of 20 lbs after almost two and a half months. This weekend I went camping with some friends which included a lot of drinking. I don’t feel guilty at all as I felt I need a break anyways. So I took a progress pic before the weekend and weighed myself at around 202 lbs. I’m back now but I’m not eating low carb this week yet. Nope, eating fairly clean but moderate carbs and NO COUNTING. Next Monday I’m going to Boston on a business trip and when I come back I will resume my cut. Maybe cut another 5-10 lbs and then do a very very slow bulk, bordering on maintenance. I’m actually pretty happy already but I still kind of want more. I feel like I’m ALMOST there and I want to see how far I can take this.
As for my week off. I worked out yesterday and my strength was THROUGH THE ROOF!! I did some standing curls with 110 lbs, and it felt like nothing, added 10 lbs, nothing, did 130 lbs, easy, eventually when I tried doing 150lbs I hit a bit of a wall but still, strength and energy were WAAAY up. This is what I remember working out felt like. Amazing what a little carbs and a slight caloric surplus does do your power level. My power level was at NINE THOUSAND!!!!
Oh, and I’ve been getting a lot of compliments and general comments about my leanness lately. Which feels great. Mostly dudes and not women, cause let’s face it guys; 99% of women don’t really appreciate what we do, but it’s encouraging regardless.

All get compliments from women all the time. So, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Most guys don’t say anything because 99% of them are haters.

My experience is actually quite the opposite. I find a lot of women are jealous of each other etc. while us guys are pretty supportive. Hell, even my ex gf didn’t like when I cut cause it made HER feel out of shape. Maybe I need to find some cooler women. lol
