173.2lb
8mm/9.5%

Definitely feeling a little stuck, although I think I'm making progress, it's just very hard to perceive. I think I need to PUSH HARDER on my workouts. Yesterday's workout was ok, but I didn't really get a solid sweat going, and I think to push through the last few percentage points I'm going to need to soak my shirt with sweat twice a day.

Tried a new recipe this morning which I HIGHLY recommend:

Easy to make, portable if needed, delicious! I added 3 packets of equal just to sweeten it a bit but that's not necessary.

-no pullups or dips
+ "turtles," where you balance your stomach on your elbows

120 pullups 120 dips, 54:37

LATE NIGHT CARDIO BLAST
40 min rowing
25 minute tabata set followed by 15 min of more "casual" rowing
pulled a max of about 1:33, usually about 1:45 though
400 cal, didn't check the meters

1) apple-cinnamon protein pancake (423 cal, 39.5 g protein, 53.5g carbs) 9:45AM
2) chicken paillard, broccoli raab + cannelini, 2 pc grilled shrimp 2PM
3) rest of the chicken paillard 4:30PM

Definitely always a problem timing my post-workout meal, although today was exacerbated by the fact that we went to Joanina. I kept on diet, though, so I don't have to count it as my cheat meal. Plus I get another serving of chicken for later.

Feeling very lazy today. Played CoD until 5AM, and was up for my 2 classes but had no desire to go. Drank a lot last night and devoured some chocolate cake. But it didn't affect my weight... I don't get my body sometimes.

Meal 3 seems enormous. Do they let you save some of that food to eat for different meals?

Also, how is your meal spacing?

it wasnt actually... i just listed the components of each thing. each thing is actually kinda small. but i ate a fuckton tonight after with the drinking i did. oh well

Yeah, alcohol and binging is usually a dangerous combo. It helps if you can limit it to one night a week though.

And that chicken looks delicious.
