Back from 10-day vacation in Fort Lauderdale, yesterday. Weighed in yesterday at 153.8 ... had one last hurrah of 2 donuts at Sunny's yesterday and called vacation to a halt. Didn't really eat terrible foods on vacation...did have more than a few nights of dessert, and was sick for five days, but didn't eat a lot of junk. Had steak, chicken dish 2x, brisket, cuban, etc. Did have a few carb-heavy sides. Overall, for vacation, did ok eating and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Ate lighter yesterday having less than 1100 calories, but kept protein high. Today, I weighed in 1.6 lbs lighter. Started taking creatine yesterday, too. Started "Iron" over again... leg day (forgot to stretch after and today I'm paying for it). I think I may try going a few more days with the lower calories, keep protein high. If workouts don't suffer, I continue to see muscle definition, the weight ticks down and the bloating goes away, I'll try to keep calories more around a Fast800 methodology (but more like 1000+/- for me).
I also took a bunch of pictures after several reminders on FB pages (Caroline Girvan, Macros, etc.) Not pretty. A big dose of reality. Also, first day back from vacation! But I look forward to the comparison a few months from now. I can never see a difference just standing in the mirror... I need the side-by-side visual.
