Definitely starting to feel the lower cals day to day. A little more tired, DOMs but I feel better in the AM for training. I can also feel changes in how clothes fit.

Decided I want to be below 200 (195 ideally) by my birthday towards the end of September. That’s about 15 weeks away. A lot of work to do and going to take it slow.

Scale didn’t really move this week but the mirror metrics and clothing fit metrics are solid. I ate more than normal a few days this week but didn’t break protocol with fried foods or desserts so I’m not terribly worried. Activity is picking up and I’m slowly increasing capacity for running.

Got a group training session on Thursday with some female friends that have got into lifting and back to deadlift programming on Sunday.
