My spirits were down temporarily (when I wrote my last entry), but I've kept my focus and managed to stay pretty true to my dietary changes. I had one dessert all week - a taste of marionberry crumble and french vanilla ice cream. It was yummy but I haven't been eating sugar, so I could only eat a few bites. I've stayed committed to eating at least 1 pound of vegetables per day, and am targeting 60g fat per day as well. I've managed to stay with the veggies, but having trouble with the fat goal. The fattiest foods I've been eating has been eggs, but oh boy is it hard to stay under 60g per day. Came close yesterday, though.
My stomach has flattened considerably, I've lost a good deal of my belly fat, and my "love handles" are almost gone. The progress is exciting. To make things even more happy, my trainer said he can really tell I've been working on my form, and I should start to see some serious body changes soon. He said I've reached the stage where my training is going to start directly impacting my body's appearance and I should see some dramatic changes soon. Don't know what he's talking about, I'm already seeing changes. My freakin traps are getting huge and my arms are too big for most of my shirts, my shoulders are significantly rounder and fuller, the change is visible. Even better, my chest has gained over an inch and my girlfriend is loving it. This morning, she was sleeping with her head on my chest and said she loved how firm I was now. I purred like a damn kitten.
And my lower back pain has gone away. The trainer says it was definitely caused by using my lower back when dead-lifting. Thinks I'll be fine, my back muscles will strengthen and my form will improve, but I'm not bad enough to do any long-term damage. Good news there.
