Yesterday's Workout -
20 minutes HIIT on bike (5 min warmup/1 min fast x 4/2 min slow x 3/5 min cooldowm)
10 minutes elliptical

Today's Workout -
Fat Loss III, Workout B

Front Squat 12/65 12/65 12/65 10/65 + 2 reps most sets
Assisted Chin-up 11/76a 11/76a 7/76a&5/82a 5/76a&4/82a added a rep most sets
Step-Up 12/20s 12/20s 12/20s 12/20s + 5lbs
Dumbbell Push Press 11/20s 11/20s 10/20s 5/20s&5/15s added a rep most sets

Squat 20/15s 20/15s no change; wrist issue
Lat Pulldown 20/60 20/60 + 5lbs
Step-Up 20/10s 20/10s + 2lbs
Dumbbell Shoulder Press 20/10s 20/10s + 2lbs

Swiss Ball Crunch (Long-Arm) 15/BW 15/BW

15 minutes of 1 min walk/1 min job/1 min run
15 minutes of walking at 3.5 up a 5% incline

Thoughts:
* Wrists. Hurt. So. Much.
* Had to switch the order on the chin-ups and push press on that last giant set because some other dude was using the assisted chin-up machine, and it really screwed my strength up. I couldn't finish either set. Either that or I was just really tired. I prefer to blame the chin-up dude, though.
* I'm really surprised by the strength gains I'm still somehow managing to make despite cutting. It's maybe slowing a little, but - with these giant sets it's sort of hard to tell.
* Alwyn Cosgrove is trying to kill me.
* I'm starting to get really hungry all the time. My appetite was more or less under control during Fat Loss II. Fat Loss III is much, much harder.
* I'm also exhausted all the time. I'm sleeping a lot and skipping morning cardio workouts. I figure this is only going to last 8 (!) more workouts, and I'll just do the best I can until I finish this stage.

Progress -
Weight - 135.2 (woo hoo!) (This is so totally going to jump up to 140 tomorrow, I bet)
Waist - 27.5
