Holy smokes batman, I am toast. I’ve been eating lower calorie for 5 days now after I realigned my goals away from weight training gains and now towards reducing body fat. Well it’s working for sure. I unofficially weighed in today at a record low of 170.8. Friday is my official weigh in. Dipping into the 160’s by then would be amazing. I feel like I am on track for that. However, if you think everything is going great for me, you would be mistaken. I felt like I was going to die this morning during my work out. I had to reduce weight on some exercises just to complete my sets. I had to talk myself out of quitting my routine 3 different times. Luckily I had just finished reading my inspirational Nerd Fitness newsletter which spoke about “Making Excuses”. This is what kept me from quitting. I kept thinking about something that the newsletter said. It was a quote about excuses.
“You can make excuses, or you can get what you want, but not both.”
So with that quote twirling around in my head I found myself crawling around on the floor, slightly dizzy, panting and gasping between my deadlift, squat and lunge sets. I am glad I work out at home (alone) so that no one saw my shameful act of puniness. (Well, the dog was looking at me kinda funny but I think he somehow understood what was going through.)
So I made it to work and I am still exhausted, three hours later. I knew lifting would be more difficult with a larger calorie deficit but geez, I wasn’t expecting to be transformed into a zombie who walks like beetlejuice after a leg day workout. I’m pretty sure I will pull through though. Hope everyone has a great day. Make it count!
