Just finished chest and bis. I'm not going to post weights/reps/sets just thoughts on how it went.
Not as good as I had hoped. I was missing reps I should have made. I'm going to have to prepare myself mentally better next time. I haven't been doing that. I've just been dragging myself downstairs to get it done. No enthusiasm = weak crappy training. So, new rule...psych myself up before training.
I also did morning cardio: 1 down, 3 to go.
Still have stretching to do. 1.5 more water bottles to drink, and two meals. Eating has been pretty good.

Yesterday in review: I got most of my water. I did the work-out and cardio.
My macros were approx.: 1200/ 58/ 16/ 110
Mood was good.
Monday's weight: 138.8
Woke-up around 2:30.
Today I plan to do abs and cardio. I also plan to eat at a Chinese restaurant.
Well. I did eat at the Chinese restaurant. And then I ate about 6 slices of bread with coconut oil and cheese. And I'm thinking about eating 2 more while I still can. Because tomorrow I will be good again. I hope eating all these carbs and calories won't cause trouble.
I did NO exercise...I slept a lot. I can't even remember when I have had any bread before today...a LONG time. And happily my bread has been in the freezer so long, it tasted pretty bad so I won't be thinking how delicious it was as the days go by.
macros: approx. 2000/ 85/ 70/ 176

Here's a tip~ you can not put BCAAs in protein pancakes and still be able to eat them. NASTY!! *gag* I do try to get my supplements down...they are just so hard to get along with.
So I gained a couple of pounds yesterday. I think the bread was the biggest "deal." No exercise didn't help anything either.
I did abs, cardio and stretches. I still have legs to do, but that'll be later today. I'm also doing laundry.
Exercise is especially good in the wintertime because it sure warms me up. I hate being cold.
I'm going to mix up my muscle cocktail to drink during this afternoon's training. I have got to start drinking this stuff. My eye is burning.
This is why I thought writing stuff here would be a good plan...it saves anyone from having to read my every thought.
I did do a sad little leg work-out. There was just NO talkin' myself into squats today. So...nothing was good today. Crappy eating and exercising. Didn't drink my cocktail. Basically, I could have done worse...but I would have had to really work at it.
Macros were not good again today:
1,800 / 115/ 21/ 123

Yay, back in the 130s, barely, but I'm there. I think I'll go do morning cardio. It won't be empty since I already had a protein bar. I was feeling kinda sick, so I ate. Feel better now.
Today is "option day." I have 2 more work-outs to get in this week, and one more abs, and I have 3 days to do it.
I opted to not do anything besides eat...and mostly salted nuts...lots of them. No exercise...just eating.
I will do progress pictures, because it's the rule...but I'll probably be wearing my Snuggie. No rule about what we have to wear. *feeling quite clever for finding a loophole.*
Well, I did go work-out after all. I'm just always surprising myself.
I did back and cardio. And this week I remembered to raise the suicide bars so I could actually do rackpulls with the desired weight. I don't know if I mentioned it last week, but I had forgotten to raise the rack and was trying to use rackpull weight at deadlift level. NOPE!
It was like the weight was nailed down. I couldn't budge it. I'm glad I didn't tear up my back with all my determination.
And so...exercise ended up being good....eating, not so much.

I probably had 2 cups easily of mixed nuts yesterday. The BIG cups...I still feel a little sick from them. I was pretty miserable last night. Anyway, I will not eat them today. I hope.
I'll either do abs or shoulders/tris. today. I also plan to do cardio.
