2 light walks during the 4 day weekend.

Today:
Dumbbell incline bench press 25# 4X10
Cable seated row 65# 4X10
Dumbbell shoulder press 20# 4X10 (failed on rep 5 or 6 of each set, then switched to 15# dumbbells to finish. Unsure why. I was able to do 25# 5X5 on 5/19)
Wide-grip lat pulldown 65# 4X10
Barbell close-grip bench press 50# 4X10
High Pull 50# 4X10

tread mill 30 minutes - varied speed between 4.5 and 6, incline 0 - 6 (higher incline with lower speeds)

I was supposed to do 3 sets of 15 reps today, but I didn't have it in me. I did 4 sets of 10 and some of the weights were lighter. Not sure why. I did overeat over the holiday, could that have something to do with it?

Anyway, after my diet break, where I ate everything and anything, my weight has remained the same. I'm ready to start counting again to see if I can shed some fat.

Today's nutrition:

Fat - 32.5% (51 grams)
Protein - 44.0% (156 grams)
Carbohydrates - 23.5% (83 grams)

Calories - 1396

That's a small deficit since I think my maintenance is about 1600. But I'm adding in a little cardio (really hate the stuff!)

I am going to try to keep from going too low with calories and carbs to avoid binging. I also realized that when I want a snack, it should be higher in fat or protein. Simple carbs leave me craving more.
