Finally back on track. This week I did mess up on Monday night and ate way too many carbs, however I stuck to the plan after that and the results were better than I expected.

I lost exactly 3 pounds and dropped .8% bodyfat which translates into loosing .96 pound of lean mass unfortunately, but 2.04 pounds of fat!!! I can’t be loosing a pound a week of lean mass though, so I need to tweak the diet a little.

I guess I need to up the calories a little to offset the excessive weight loss. Not sure where to add the calories though - more fat, more protein or more carbs. I was shying away from adding carbs, so maybe add in the fat and protein areas a little. The other thing I was concerned about was adding calories based on one week’s results might be too soon and I should wait another week to see if it was going to have the same results first.

As far as exercise goes, I had been previously working the legs only in my cardio with HITT and jumping, and things like that. This week I added squats and dead lifts.  I am still sore from that and it was on Tuesday!

For cardio I walked on a treadmill with the incline way up and the speed at about 1.7 - 2.0 mostly. One morning I mixed in a few sprints on it, and I did some heavy bag work and jump rope.

I did cardio in the mornings fasted, monday through thursday and lifted in the evenings after work monday through thursday. Friday (yesterday) I did nothing at all. My weight still dropped .9 pounds from Friday morning to Saturday morning.  I did raise my fat intake and drop out more carbs on Friday though, so that probably had something to do with it.

Nice to be back on track again. Too bad it was like starting back at the begining of January though. Seems like a large setback. oh well.
