Praise the gods, I managed to get up and hit the weights today! Wailing babies and disturbed sleep do not a swoldier make and by god I need my 6 hours or I cant do shit. Today was back day and one pre-workout banana later, the following happened:
Warmup
Deadlift - Warmup + 3 sets (Last one 180 x 2)
Bent over rows - 3 sets at 50 + bar
Assisted pullups - 3 x 8
Lat pulldown - 3 x 10
Row machine - 3 x 10
Usual breakfast of oatmeal + 1 cup milk and some almonds. Snacked on a pear.
This damn fat loss is taking its own sweet time. There ARE changes - my clothes feel oversized, my legs definitely look chunky and after an eternity, I HAS BUTT. I'm guessing I'm adding muscle and burning fat, which is why my weight's fairly static. My insatiable desire for quantifiable progress is a pain in the ass. But you just gotta hunker down, believe and soldier on. Taking heart from my progress so far - took me 4 months to DL one plate and added the second plate in another 2 months. Im happy if I can add a 45 every 2 months until i'm satisfied. When is that? I dont know, 400 seems to be a nice round number at the moment. For some strange reason, today is the day I finally believe I can pull those weights. Maybe it was the 2 plates today, I dont know.
