I feel good today! Yesterday was a great opportunity to rest and get my head right, and I'm looking forward to working out today! I'm going to try to get more complex carbs in and less fats today. Yesterday, I think the salmon I ate didn't agree with me (the butcher said it was fresh, but it smelled awful fishy and felt kind of slimy), so I'm going to try to stick more to chicken today. I can already tell that today is going to be productive, so I'm getting excited :) Also, I'm going to the beach next week with my fam, so I'm looking forward to catching some rays and somehow manipulating my younger brother into working out with me (he normally doesn't want to work out with me, but I'm going to try to get his girlfriend to convince him XD). Should be a fun time! I'm going to swing by the grocery store to make sure I have good foods to eat on vacation, so hopefully it won't be too bad :D

Yesterday, my friend and I did the Shoulders and Arms P90X workout for the first time since completing P90X earlier this year, and it was HARD. I had to use waaay lighter weights than I had been using at the end (which makes sense since Insanity does very little for your arms other than the occasional pushup), but at the same time, it felt really good to push myself. I really missed Tony Horton and his goofy sense of humor, so it was nice to revisit those old workouts!
I'm trying something new with my diet called 'zig zagging'. After calculating my recommended daily intake for maintenance at 2600 - 2900 (depending on what I classify my 'activity level' as) cals a day, for weight loss, I should aim to eat only 80% of that, so roughly 2000 a day. The principle is that even if I eat 2000 calories a day, I could still be putting my body into starvation mode. Therefore, every 3 days of 2000 cal, I will aim to eat a diet closer to 2600 calories for one day. This higher calorie day will keep my body from entering starvation mode (apparently). We'll see what my weigh in/body fat ratio is next week to determine if this is working!

I'm so excited! I measured myself today, and I lost about an inch everywhere (with 1/2 inch in my waist - woot!), and, assuming I used my body fat calipers correctly (which I think I did considering I did it several times and had consistant results), I lost almost a full percentage point of body fat! Though my weight is just over 202 now, I checked my fat weight and my lean weight, and my fat weight went from 68 lbs to 66 lbs, and my lean weight went up from 133 lbs to 136 lbs! I just feel super great overall this morning! I can't wait to do strength workouts with my homie tonight!

I'm going to look at today with a new attitude. I just began reading this highly recommended fitness book called 'Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle' by Tom Venuto. You can get it in eBook form on ebay for like $5 and I've been absorbing the information like a sponge! I've heard this from multiple sources (including my doctor), but the major point Tom makes in his book is that you have to eat a LOT (closer to 1700 to 2000 calories a day!) in order to achieve permanent FAT loss, not WEIGHT loss. This is because when we starve the body, we get rid of lean muscle weight in addition to our fat, and since muscle is what burns fat, when we eventually go off our low calorie diet (people can't maintain 1000 cal a day forever!), we end up gaining back all of the fat and end up with less muscle than we started with!
But more importantly, the book advocates that weight loss is a MENTAL game too. I didn't realize how often I think negatively about myself until I really sat down and thought about it. Here's to repeatedly telling myself how awesome I am to lift my spirits and make myself believe how truly awesome I am!
Even more importantly (to me, anyway), I weighed myself this morning and found that I'm back down to where I was a week ago! Eating right again after the move helped the pounds just melt back away. Today, I'm going to work out again, and I'm looking forward to it!

Gaining 0.1 kg a Week
13 June 2013
Yesterday, I was able to finish settling in and starting to get used to living with my new roommate. Everything seems fine, and after working really hard all day, we sat down and watched Easy A together, which was adorable!
During all of my unpacking and cleaning yesterday, I think I inhaled too much dust, so my nose was stuffy as I went to bed last night. I woke up feeling fine though, if not a little exhausted from all of the moving. It was good to be back in my old bed and not sleeping in a cot anymore lol! I feel good about today. I weighed myself and I'm up about a pound and a half from last weigh in, but I did have a large late dinner, and I'm planning to schedule my meals a little better today so that if I do have a late meal, it will at least be a small one!
