Well over the past month, my plan to lift and eat to gain mass has shifted sorta to the eat and gain mass, without much emphasis on the lifting. Not feeling particularly well about myself for it. The fortunate thing is that I recognized my shift in habits after only two to three weeks of eating poorly, rather than some extended period.
My plan was a "minimalist approach to mass" as laid out in the four hour body. This approach does work from what I saw, but not nearly to the effect the book describes. Through September I was more or less flawless in following it, and didn't see nearly the results Tim did in the book. Either way, I think moving to a more balanced workout routine with a little extra cardio thrown in will preserve the mass I've gained, possibly put on a bit more, but most importantly start trimming off the 5 or so pounds of fat I've tacked on.
New goal: Hit 215, and get stronger on the way over the next two months. Diet will be a lowered carb intake, but still some rice and some milk. Other than that, lots of protein sources, lots of vegetables, and all the legumes I want. I'm excited to have a goal again!
