Yaaayyy!  I'm 3 weeks old... Hahaha 😆.   I'm super excited about my new round of training.  Especially my leg day because I love love love leg press.  I see the most progress when I'm consistent with those.   I'm drinking the water a lot easier and finding different meals that allow me to hit my numbers.  I feel pretty good and hope to continue to see more progress.  Although I must say, it's weird losing the weight that it took me so long to gain.  I have to adjust my mindset so that I appreciate the changes in my appreance and not the scale.

2 weeks in!

Hello!
   Tomorrow makes 2 weeks 😁   And it's finally hit me that I'm actually doing this!   Meal prep is getting better/easier but I need to add some variety to my meals so I don't get bored or cheat.   And I have to work on the timing of my meals.
My Sciatica was bothering me a little bit today but I was able to push through it which was good.   I just listened to my body and brought the weight down a lil on deaifts.  

All n all no complaints.   Seeing some small changes in strength and appearance.  All good stuff!

No more free meals 😕

I'm officially one week in and I' couldn't be happier I chose to do this!   However. .... No more "Free meals" for me until I've really got the hang of things.   Or maybe not at all.  😒.  It completely threw me off and I couldn't get my macros in order after . I still put my food into my fitness pal and tried to get as close as I could.   But I feel guilty.   Soooo ..... Back to the basics tomorrow! Lesson learned 😩  

Update!

Hello There!
   So.... I'm 5 days in and feeling pretty good.  Still adjusting to the new diet and macro counting.  I'm not as energetic in the gym.  I think I'm going to try the BCAA supplement you suggested.  

Noticing some small changes in body fat.
-Current weight 115lbs
- strength- progressing well.   Was able to increase my weight on leg day for the second cycle of the 3 day split (last night).  With limited energy might I add.

I've been coming pretty close to my numbers each day. Still experimenting with different food combinations to see what works best,  while keeping me in range.  


Questions: (sorry if their silly😆)
 What is the goal for my body during the beginning phase? Is it to get smaller?
How do I gain mass so that I don't disappear during this process while still reducing body fat? Will BCAA help?
Is lacking energy normal in the beginning with the decrease in calories? And if so, will my body adjust?
 

Hi!
  Today was great.  I feel  pretty good.  A little less energy than normal but I was still able to push through my sprints  and that killer back and bicep workout you gave me for day 3.  My macros on the other hand not the best.  I keep going over with my protein.   Here are my numbers for today

Fat: 39
Carbs: 148
Protein: 131.

I'm not sure if I'm blowing it  :-/    I can list what I  ate if needed!  

Day 2

Day 2!   Feeling pretty good and the workout was awesome.  I'm sore but in a good way.  Can't wait for tomorrow!    I do think I need to work on meal timing because I got a little light headed around 12:30 or so.   I pretty much had the same thing as yesterday but I had 2 rice cakes with peanut butter instead of the protein bar.  

Here are my numbers.

Day 1!

Day one down and many more to go!  Over all I think I did pretty good.  I got my 100oz of water down and I think I did ok with my meals today but I'm not completely sure. So here's what I had:
Breakfast:
   1 pack of plain oatmeal
    3 boiled eggs
    Herbalife Protien shake

Lunch:
     4oz of fish
     4oz of steamed broccoli
     4oz of baked yam.  No skin no salt

Dinner:
     Same thing as lunch

Snacks:
     2% string cheese (1)
     1 red apple

Post workout:
      Herbalife Rebuild
       1/2 protein bar


Below is what My Fitness Pal says ....... And I still need 24 more calories.  I don't know what to eat for that. And I went over on my proteins.      Any suggestions?   Side note: workout wet well! I feel good.  I didn't know what I step lunge was so I did 4 sets of walking lunges instead.
