So... I think I'll fast today. It's not a self punishment or extreme to fast. Perspective is everything. My digestive system feels like it needs a break. Other benefits of fasting are nothing to sneeze at either (pun intended). I haven't worked out since Wednesday (LIFE!), and protein synthesis from that workout is pretty much over. So, today is a good day for a fast. While body recomposition is still the main goal, I realize that as a 5'5" woman, it is HIGHLY unlikely that I can turn 205 pounds into muscle (at times like this, I am so jealous of men...lol). I can see & feel some new muscle under the flab. That being said, I think I need to look at my diet a little closer & start logging again. So, here's the rest of the plan... I will still aim for 1g of protein (after the Just Lift! challenge starts Monday.). Most of my calories will come from protein, especially on non-lifting days. I will start to incorporate more fasting again, probably 18/6, still getting in my protein by the end of the day. There is lots of new science that refutes the idea that protein has to be spread throughout the day for muscle growth. Let's see where this takes me. 🫰🤞

The people at my new gym are sooo friendly! 😊 The instructor of Zumba & lots of members of the class were there doing Step class last night. They all pretty much begged me to join in. I'm like, "No, thanks. It's leg day strength training for me." I almost always have a hard time saying no underpressure, so in my head, I'm thinking, "That's play time over there. This is bizzzness over here!" (Thanks, Deb! 😂) I do appreciate the comradery, though! Core & Zumba tonight! 🤗 I've got a new gym buddy as well. She's only ever done cardio. So, I'm showing her the ropes, which is great for an extra push. She did a really great job last night! 😊 Last night's workout below. The deadlifts were just showing her the motions, as I'm always extra careful with them and other certain movements that involve the spine. Definitely, didn't want her to get injured.
