Hello healthy folks! It's so good to hear all the success stories, pick up some good info and just be in such a positive thread! My weekly weigh in yesterday wasn't that great. I was up 4 lbs to 208 with 20% bodyfat. I slayed a double cheeseburger meal at Backyard Burgers on Saturday,but that was the extent of my cheat day. Today I re-weighed just to double check and I'm down 4.5 lbs. Then it hit me that I have always given myself a +/- 5 lb variance and don't get too bent out of shape as long as it isn't more or less than that from week to week. That being said, it has been a great week so far! I swam 1.5 miles on Monday and ran 4.25 this morning. I have stayed below my daily allowable calories. If I don't see the changes I want by next week, I'll start playing with my nutrients. Right now I'm at 60% good carbs,30% protein and 10% good fats. I have also cut my water intake to 64 oz a day as opposed to a gallon a day. I had some pretty strong muscle fasciculations in my lats and legs yesterday. That is a sure sign that I am drinking too much plain water and not taking in enough electrolytes and magnesium. Miss Pink continues to plan the most healthy, tasty balanced meals in the world, which makes my life EASY! Here's to an awesome rest of the week! Rock on everyone!
