All the magic happens on a rest day. I have to keep that in mind. I hate taking a day off, but this tired old body is begging for it. Going to keep the calories lower with the reduction in activity. Just means I can go harder on Friday :)

I used to worry about what the scale said. It used to send me into emotional turmoil or extreme fits of joy. Now I just think, who cares? I have the side and top lines of a six pack with my central muscles coming in. My arms have never looked so sleek.I don't look like I'm trying to turn myself into a professional body builder or anything, but even I'll admit I'm looking awesome.
I went on one of those body scales at my gym last month. It told me that of the 65 ish Kilos in my body 27.8 Kilos of that were muscle (with the normal range being between 21- 26 kilos for my age and height) while only 15 Kilos were fat. It ranked me at 23% body fat and I know I have less than that now.
So todays stand on this scale seems rather silly to me. If you are busting your butt, putting hard earned time into the kitchen, and giving every workout your all and you gain weight... you are gaining muscle.
Muscle weighs more than fat so take that ya stupid bathroom scale. I'm going to come back and hit ya harder next month!

Did a new workout yesterday from this pro fitness trainer called "clutch cut." She said one of the main problems today is that people are not eating enough when their bodies are hung. This hunger places a stress on the body and the body releases a hormone cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol tell your body to hold onto your fat stores and they also tell your body to break down and destroy muscle instead of fat.
So I went into this work out like any new one, curious. 2 hours after the workout I already noticed something. A rise in hunger that I didn't even know was possible. I kept her thoughts in my mind about reaching for good carbs, good natural sugars, salads and lean protein sources. I made it through the day. JUST made it keeping my goal of having a downward green arrow lol. But, I was legitimately hungry. In the previous weeks I have been satisfied. Stopping eating when full and only eating when hungry and I skipped out around 1,500- 1,600 calories each day.
Yesterday I ate 2,477. Legit hunger. This tells me one thing. That workout I did yesterday sent my body into a fury of fat burning madness. I threw myself off. I shocked my system. My body didn't see it coming and had no response for it.
So here I go again today. Day 2. Only this time I will be prepared for you body. At 4pm when I feel like I could eat a full 10 course meal. I will be ready for you with lean mean awesome macro nutrition that you will love. PROTEIN field goodness so you will not take my hard earned muscle.
It's GO TIME!

This is a carb day for sure. Mainly healthy carbs from fruit. I had some sushi which had some sort of sugar on it which I didn't know when I ordered it so I added a tsp of sugar. I will be doing health carbs once a week to re feed the muscles a bit before a day off or just after a long day of work or a heavy cardio day. Following the cravings of my body. If I have barely andy carbs in me and I am used to not having them and never have cravings and then suddenly want pineapple like its going out of style, then clearly my body needs something from that craving and I'm going to let my body have it. In moderation, of course :)

Goal for the month. Green downward arrows every single day (in the food and exercise diary). No excuses!
Who's with me?
