I thought I would start my own log here, mostly to hold myself accountable for keeping up with my scheduled workouts.

I have a really really bad habit of lifting hard and eating good and making really good gains for a stretch of 6-8 months, and then something happens, be it injury, work, life, etc, that causes me to miss a week or two. Then a couple weeks off turns into a month, which turns into 4 months before I know it. So then its April and I feel like crap and realize I need to start lifting again. It's a bad cycle and one I really need to break, it happens just about every year.

I just got done with about 10 weeks of pretty strict dieting, going very low carb for 6 days and then having a refeed/cheat day on the 7th day. I originally planned on doing a carb day every 4 or 5 days, but I really enjoyed having my cheat day on Sunday so I could eat and watch football all day. I dropped from about 203 to 187 over that time, the first few lbs of that were a loss of water weight but im still happy with the results, not sure about the bodyfat but its probably down under 10%. I thought about losing more but its going to be winter soon and I didn't really want to be dieting around the holidays.

So here's the plan, going to be slowly upping my calories over the next few weeks while doing 4 weeks of Chad Waterbury's Waterbury Method to get used to moving some more weight. So around the beginning of November im going to jump into EC's Maximum Strength for the next 16 weeks.

For the record, im about 5'11"-6'0"" and 187lbs at the moment, 29 yrs old.
