*I expected to gain 3-5 lbs after going off of a deficit onto maintenance. I've been holding steady between 124 and 127, but today I am starting my period, so that's typically when I gain and then lose 2-4#. That's why the high weight and (hopefully) measurements.
So here's how I did on my goals:
1. 90% compliance to calorie, macro, and clean eating goals.
Week 1: 86%
Week 2: 90%
Week 3: 100%
Week 4: 90%
2. Compliance to Maximum Strength Weight-Training and Energy Workouts: Because of a pulled oblique, I was off of training completely for a week and a half, and after one workout, took it easy again for almost another week b/c it wasn't completely healed. So this month has been very frustrating, but I think I'm at almost 100% again.
3. Increase maximum lifts: not tested yet, but I am getting stronger!
4. Education: Goal was to read at least one more nutrition-oriented resource and decide which strength-training program to do after Maximum Strength. I recently purchased the Precision Nutrition System and have been working through the cookbook, but haven't touched the binder yet!
Oh yeah, pictures....
January
March (Definite backtracking here--next month hopefully will show some improvement!)
Okay, the sizes are really weird, but I don't have time to mess with them...one more order to complete tonight! (work stuff)
