Getting all mixed up with dates. Another push/pull/legs cycle from 12/30-1/02. All similar or the same lifts above. Been slacking a bit with logging, diet, cardio in general. Used the holidays as an excuse.
Three positive things came out of it though
- quality time with loved ones
- slept more than usual
- got engaged!
Congratulations!!!
Been lazy posting here.
Been continuing workouts and my version of the v diet.
Workouts feeling good and are consistent with numbers improving
Shakes during the day to get at least 120g of protein from MD shakes alone.
Been giving myself more leeway with diet at night and doing less cardio, but somewhat surprisingly feeling and looking better with stable weight
Eventually I’ll post more formal updates ….
