Iām doing a good job maintaining. I weigh 200 lbs while eating 2500 calories.
I ended my cut eating 2000 calories and I weighed 202-204 something like that.
Plan is to maintain for like 20 weeks and cut in January after all of the holidays.
This is a way to put that Jim Wendler quote to the test about how you can only serve one master. Iād really love to see if that quote is trueā¦.seems like it because Iām still fucking skinny fat.
Despite being 6ā, Iām not supposed to be 200 lbs. Iāve always been a small framed dude, I should weigh less than that and be leaner. It would truly reflect the amount of muscle I truly have.
Back to School?
I got an email from the university I was supposed to do my Masters in Accounting at on how I didnāt enroll in any classes.
Sorry, but it just doesnāt make financial sense. Even after handsomely increasing my salary, still a a no.
I think Iāll check out Western Governors University (Degree Mill) and see how cheap an online bachelors in Accounting can be with transfer credits from my bachelors.
Otherwise it can go in my trash can of higher education ideasā¦..
Masters Accounting (too expensive and cheaper options)
Mechanical Engineering (I have no ideas for this other than HVAC/Plumbing design and project managers make more than these nerds, so imagine the time and money spent to get thisā¦.and to start from the bottom)
MBA (pointless and expensive)

T-Nation Brethren and Sisters, your birthday wishes have made this day feel special as itās supposed to be.
My mom sent me a tin of cookies, I woke up to phone calls/texts from family + soon to be brother in law, and my friendās family made me an entire homemade apple pie + gave me a $25 gift card.
Thank you so much:

Iām glad to be 23 years old and will continue to cherish my time and do what needs to be done to make my life an āepicā to be told on my death bed. (Hmmm perhaps thatās a bit too poetic for an ugly ass non-milestone number such as 23ā¦ 
.)
Happy belated Birthday! I hope you had a great day and enjoy being 23! This year Iām turning 46 - so maybe Iāll just trade myself in for two 23ās. lol
Much appreciated Quad Queen! I had a great week overall. I definitely wasnāt expecting to go to the Maryland State Fair this weekend, but I was invited by one of my buddies.
I wish I ate more food, but the comically sized smoked turkey leg I had filled me up quite wellā¦ā¦also I suppose I was trying to be rather tame.
