Fresh Start

It was a pretty bad week as far as the diet goes. Starting with last friday, and all the way up until yesterday. Its not so much that I ate poorly, even though I ate chinese 2ce, quiznos 2ce, and "may" have ordered a pizza at one point...oh yeah, and then there was hibachi, no, its not that I ate poorly, because even with the excess of bad food, I've still managed to loose 2 lbs last week, mainly because I kept my calories-in lower than my calories-out.

Calories-in < Calories-out is a time proven method of loosing weight; however, its also a piss poor method of loosing weight. Sometime in the middle of last week, I said to myself "All of this counting macro-nutrient ratios, and garbage is a pain in the ass. I'm sick of it!", and I did just that, I quit drinking protein shakes, and began eating whatever I wanted...as long as i didn't exceed my calorie-out.

What's the result? Well, today I weighed in at 195, 2lbs lighter than last week's 197. I lost 3 lbs the week prior, while counting macro nutrients, and keeping my diet solid. 2 pounds, 3 pounds, what's the difference? Well the difference is that today, when I hit the gym, my lifts sucked ass. I had to drop 10 pounds on my bench, and just about 5 pounds everywhere else.

I hear a voice in my head saying "Congradulations you dumb ass, you've just lost muscle."

Now it may not be as bad as it seems. I'm off work today, so I hit the gym pretty soon after waking up, and I didn't take any pre-workout suppliments prior to lifting. Hell, just getting to the gym today was a minor miracle. I'm hoping that my lifts sucked because I didn't take protein, and vitrex an hour before lifting.
