That's just because Olive Garden sucks.

Keep it up man and like what has been said... UP that protein. You should be eating ,7gr/lbs minimum imho.

I agree I’m not a fan really but she finally made me cave lol

Should I be figuring that off my current weight? I read I can figure it off my target weight (195lbs for me, “Ideal“ weight is lower but I’m not getting down to 180-190) since I am currently still very overweight.

Update - I was a smart guy last Tuesday and sacrificed my form to get my last rep in on OHP (I assume it was OHP since I broke form). Well I ended up pulling a muscle and haven’t lifted since. Finally getting a little better and hoping to be back on it by Sunday. Not swallowing my pride and lowering weight or reps cost me about a week and a half. I’m sure most of you know not to do this but I learned the hard way. Hoping someone newer like me reads this and saves themselves from making the same mistake.

Weigh in this morning 232.4. 72.6lbs down. Cut my water intake some this week and I think I’m dropping a bunch of water weight I was holding on to, pretty big loss this week. That’s my only explanation. I did lower calories by about 150 each day but that’s not enough to explain the big drop lol

 

[Trump]

depends what the calories where, dropping 150g per day of carbs could see significant water weight drop

Meal prep for Thursday and Friday. Only lunch and dinner pictured. I meal prep on Sunday for Mon-Wed. Then meal prep on Wed for Thursday and Friday. I eat the same thing for 2-3 days at a time but man it’s so easy to just grab and go.

 

[DEADlifter]

Keep up the good work, bud.

 

[Gibsonator]

[Skullcrusher]

Following now too. Pre-made portions are an awesome idea for controlling diet.

Really happy I was able to add some weight to my bench this time. Was kind of discouraged earlier this week when I couldn't. I think I'm reaching the point where it is going to be hard to keep adding weight during such a big calorie deficit. Just trying to keep working what muscle I do have as much as I can so I lose as little as possible during this cut.

 

[CohibaRobusto]

You're doing awesome man, just keep going. I am always hitting some frutrating plateau in one (or more) areas. It never ends lol.

 

[Skullcrusher]

I just hit my first plateau with bench press, was frustrating.

150 lbs x 10
155 lbs x 5, 3, 2

So I am going to be doing lifts to increase my max bench starting next week.

We can't let a little thing like weight stop us, can we?

Ready for this week. Actually excited about diet this week lol; Ham and Beans & Pork tenderloin are the lunch/dinners for the first 3 days. Will be a nice change up. Now that it's getting colder I will start incorporating chili's and things like that. Easy to make them fit in the diet just have to track everything that goes in it. Going to wait until Wednesday to do weigh in. Went out to dinner with fiance Friday (mexican food), I did really well actually. Ordered Fajitas and only used one tortilla, ate rest with fork. I did F*CK some chips and salsa up though!

 

[Gibsonator]

Can't pass up the chips and salsa at a good Mexican joint uf they make them good

 

[wilkinkc]

Hell yeah man, this place makes the best salsa I’ve had and the chips are always fresh too.
