Less than a week into it
So far I have been keeping my food journal, following my macros, and doing HIIT for 6 days now and I can see the progress. Writing down everything I eat really helps me to keep track of what I am putting into my body. I have already dropped 2.5 pounds, but some of it is probably water weight. I can’t wait to see my abs and go back to my regular caloric intake.
Keeping the food journal also makes me look forward to my cheat days even more than usual. I did go to asian buffet for my cheat day last week and I kept it pretty clean. I stuck to the chicken, raw tuna, lots of shrimp, some fruits and veggies, and stayed away from the rice. I had to finish it off with frozen yogurt and oreo cookies in the bottom. It tasted amazing and was totally worth it. I sort of cheated on Sunday with some gelato, but I’m going to act like that never happened. 
There was more to write, but I completely forgot. I’ll add more next time.

Hey Steph, sounds like you’re mastering what you put in your body. This is the beginning of what probably will be a very good thing for you. As for the not getting enough fats in, I’ll say which fats are we talking about? Also, if you just concentrate on getting the good fats in, and maybe dial back a little on the carbs, I think you’re good to go….obviously from what little I see. If you want to talk more, you know how to get a hold of me. Great tan by the way.

Flax isn’t bad to add at all. I’m really impressed you can run off a list like that…you sound serious! I think you have a great thing going with the tuna…maybe try to get some more Omega-3’s even in supplemental form. Are you doing any steady consistent cardio? I envy that you’re in Arizona by the way. I love hot weather…then maybe I can get a tan myself.
