Meaurment Day

Holy Shit I lost 4 pounds!!! I think this is the result of two weeks ago having two days of zero carbs and almost zero fat. What's great is that my strength is either the same or up still and I'm not feeling the effects of being a hair smaller. I did also undereat a couple of days because life on the road has been hectic. I'm definitely going to do a better job of keeping food with me at all times. Unfortunately when eating out for lunch no less than twice and sometimes up to 5 times a week my options are limited. The good news is that you can generally find some slab of meat and sides at any restaurant. The bad news is that my protein requirement is high and usually the cheap starchy sides override the more expensive cut of meat. Also, if I order a salad usually the average meat portion is 3 to 4 oz. NOT ENOUGH!!! So I will be carrying around protein powder from now on. As my competition draws closer I'm sure I'll be carting around pre cooked rice and sweet potatoes as well in a cooler. It's been a while since I've done that, but I have a plan. Basically I will order a salad with chicken during lunch, explain to the client that I eat light because I don't want to crash mid day and then after lunch is over hit my cooler in the car and chow on whatever extra food I'll need to hit my nutritional intake. Hey at least half my meal will be free!

Anyway, my waist is now down to 30.5 inches which is an all time low outside of competition. I'm probably only 10 lbs from contest shape and I feel great! It's nice seeing abs again! We finally unpacked our camera too so pictures to come.
