How convenient that on my week off I have been struck with a cold.

In an effort to get rid of it, I’ve Neti-ed, Buckley’d and cough dropped. It seems to be going away. This all started with the headache issue on May 29th. I’ve had little headaches off and on since then, but likely because of all the coughing and lack of sleep. I did, however, get two or three nights of uninterupted sleep.

Nice.

After the fat gain it’s time to switch to a fat loss routine.. ya, I know, it’s mostly diet. I’ve been a tad lax with it late. And, like the gal at the gym suggested, perhaps I’m not eating enough. So, I’ll keep an eyeball on that.

So, I have decided to do a three day a week routine I found on Dragon Door, written by David Whitley. It’s three different routines lasting four weeks each for a total of twelve weeks. Each routine has two workouts alternating, so, Monday is A, Wednesday is B and Friday is A. Then, B, A, B and so on.

It was a toss up between this routine and another one I found that is also twelve weeks.

The plan is to start tomorrow.

Weeeee!

"You need to eat more." That’s what I heard from one of the trainers at the gym today after I had an assessment done. And being one of her co-workers and one that preaches the same thing, I suppose I should.

But I’ve fallen into the trap everyone else does. I think I’m already eating lots. Mind you, I don’t count calories. But I never feel hungry.

So, here’s how things panned out today as compared with last time.

March 25th:

Weight - 181lbs
Thigh - 55cm
Chest - 104cm
Calf - 35cm
Abdomen - 87cm
LBM - 156.89lbs (86.7%)
BFM - 24.11lbs (13.3%)
BMR - 2017 cals

June 2nd:

Weight - 187lbs
Thigh - 52cm (-3)
Chest - 103cm (-1)
Calf 34cm (-1)
Abdomen - 88cm (+1)
LBM - 155.27lbs (83%)
BFM - 31.73lbs (17.0%)
BMR - 2007 cals

I am now at the top of my healthy range. I should be between 8-17% BF.

So, while I don’t count calories anymore, I may try to be more aware of what it is I’m putting in my mouth. I’ve been fairly leniant lately (that could explain a few things).

Next week, back to kettlebells with likely some specific chest exercises (press) along with some bicep/tricep stuff thrown in too.
