I’m clearly gaining muscle weight. I need to find my new baseline can’t tell it it’s up 5 lbs or more. My only complaint is *I think* it’s about 10 lbs of belly fat I need to drop to get back to my preferred body composition there. But I can’t use the scale right now to gauge. I might pull out the measuring tape I dunno.
on the fitness side - fuck yes. Lost track but I’m at 14 weeks now? In better physical shape than before I got Covid even.
Played some competitive tennis yesterday and lunged to dig out some hard skidders on my back hand side and some short balls too. There’s nothing better as a tall drink of water being able to get low like that to dig out the low stuff and win the point.
weight training is so bad ass, my energy level is back to early 40s, weekends and even weeknights are go go go again. I LOVE it!
nutrition - cut back again on alcohol none during the week and I think it’s helping. Appetite is settling in too I think. Besides less alcohol (down to 4 drinks a week), it’s protein smoothie before weights, peanut butter and an apple after a workout. I need to up that to whole food but the smoothie is easy and has banana, peach, spinach in addition to whey protein. At this point I think I’m stabilizing calorie intake wise.
peak craze a couple of weeks ago … I ran through the P Terrys drive through for a double double (no fries) at the OG location, then went through the P terrys drive through for the same order in westlake on my way home 30 min later. It was a bit of a drive through of shame the second time.
