243 days to go!

Zero yesterday was pretty easy...luckily there's so much to do around home that my focus doesn't stay on food so the 1200 calories I ate wasn't that bad. Good news is that my strength in the gym was great! I maintained or went up on all lifts. Tomorrow is another off day since I switched my scheme from 5 days to 4. Definitely great for sleep time. I'll do my second zero tomorrow figuring that I'll minimize muscle damage when doing them on off days.

One other note. One of my workout buddies heard something on TV that makes perfect sense and I've been preaching this for years..."ABS ARE NOT MADE IN THE GYM, THEY ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN." I love people that try all these crazy workouts, crash diets and weird butt cleansing stuff. Folks, you have to maintain a consistent, balanced diet first and foremost. I BARELY work abs doing only 6 sets of 10 per WEEK!!! I'm starting to see lower ab veins and I definitely have a decent six pack and I'm eating 2750 calories a day! I even manage to fit in a drink or cheat food during the week. The key is no binging and 90% clean food diet. Right now this falls on deaf ears, but hey one day I'll get more than 1 follower.
