I’m still making progress on my cut.  Slowly, but that was the plan.  Trying to preserve as much muscle as possible while draining as many fat cells as I can.  I can see progress, most days.  My body perception changes.  Sometimes I think, "not bad…" other times I think, "eeeek!!"  Right now I’m having a "not bad" time.  

I hope to take 1 month progress pictures today.  I hope this doesn’t turn my "not bad" into an "eeeek!!"  My bodyfat is still about 23% so….I’m still a long way from goal. 

I think it’ll just be easier to squat than all the stuff I’d have to do instead.  Just do them and move one…. I’m tired of thinking about it.

And….of course I weighed.  I’m so pathetically addicted to those scales.   145.6.  I’m trying to lose a pound a week, but up until a few days ago, the scales have just been all over the place.  I have lost about 4 pounds in 3 weeks….but it’s been a wild ride.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I have something in mind to try for legs that has nothing to do with squats.  I’ll see where that gets me.  I just want well defined legs, I’m not looking for perfection, just something I’m happy with.

My eating seems to go well when I keep the calories around 1550/ fats: 60-70 / carbs: 60-80 / pro: 135ish. And with that, I’d like to announce my all time low on the cut. 145.8 this morning! *happy dance* I was so hungry yesterday, but I had eaten what I could have and so I just drank more water, grudgingly, and was rewarded this morning for my self-control. *yay me.*  I’m starting off the week very happy! 

I’m not planning to weigh again until next Sunday or Monday.  I’m just going to stay on plan, and figure it’s working well.
