Plan/Goals:
1 - 95% compliant to chosen calorie level, 30% min protein level
Current - 100%
2 - 2 days cardio per week, 3 days lifting
Have been slacking a bit on the cardio especially. Did take a couple of lifting days off after pulling something in my lower back. Next week should be slightly off again, more tests.
3 - Finish up Stages 5 & 7 from NROL4W
Could not finish Stage 7 (high reps were killing my knees). Continuing Power Training's Strength Training.
4 - Be lower than 260 by Dec 1st.
Done!
5 - Take another maintenance/rest week.
Completed last month. Next one in December (likely during exam weeks, that way I can hit the exercising hard the three weeks that I'm off between terms)
Wrap-up: So, I'm happy with the loss of weight, bodyfat and inches. I actually saw a number on the bodyfat below 49% this week, although with my up/down weights so are the bodyfat numbers. I personally think the challenge pictures show little change, but hey, that's me. The only thing that keeps me sane is looking at the lines on the paneling (which is about the only place I see changes).
