So it has been a while since my last post, but that's mainly because I haven't thought most of the things that've happened have been worth posting. So I'll try to summarize some of the ups and downs.
I've noticed that my Rest days seem to be the hardest for me to maintain eating the proper macros/micros. It seems like almost everything has a billion carbs in it. Anything that doesn't contain a bunch of carbs requires a lot of cooking.
So what ends up happening is that I go over my micros for the rest day which obviously doesn't help with losing weight. For the past week or so I've been more aware and have tried harder to make sure I do not go over those, and have noticed a bit more progress. I started out at roughly 200lbs and I'm down to 189 today, although it's probably considered cheating that I weighed myself first thing this morning after a Rest Day. On average I'm probably closer to 192.
I set a few goals for myself as far as new clothing or whatever are concerned. They may be relatively vain sorts of goals but whatever. Basically, I don't want to buy anything new until I'm convinced they would be able to be worn comfortably with a little more weight when I go for the recomp. I figure I want to maintain around 190 - 195.
My other goal for myself is to get to around ~10% body fat... right now I'm at about 15% or so.
Some positives though, the latest week in my Fitocracy tracking I've had the best lifts I've had in a while, save for maybe the bench where I still can't get over the 200-205lb x4 rep hurdle... here are some highlights.
155lb barbell squat x10
185lb Romanian Deadlift x10 (which reminds me I need some straps.)
225lb Deadlift x6
I should figure out my ORM (One Rep Max) at some point but for now I'll just keep going.
That's all for now. Today is another Rest Day and I think I'll actually be able to maintain it - read: I'm not hungover, therefore I do not require Burger King.
Gotta clean the hell out of my apartment. Pollen everywhere :(
