Roonytunes 2005

I have decided to close out my journal till mid October. As posted before, I'm spending the next two weeks with my parents who are visiting from India. We're traveling, mom will be cooking etc. so while I will try to be in check, I will not be on program.

Final stats after 5 months:
Today's weight is 120lbs, so I lost 6+ pds.
Better yet, I lost 9% body fat starting from 23+% to now 14+%

I'll still try to check in on EF when I can, but will just not be logging.

Wow!! What great progress!!!! Congrats!!

Enjoy your "vacation" and we'll miss you!!

I'm baaack as promised. I just dropped my parents off at the airport this morning. It was nice to spend time with them. I definitely took a detour from my clean eating, especially with the buffets in Vegas and our general habit of bonding over food as a family. But to me, it was worth it and I have no regrets, since I only see my parents once a year.

I had some time to reevaluate my goals in the two weeks I was off program, and have decided I am going to pursue maintenance as a goal. I am looking at this as a lifestyle change and don't have any aspirations to compete. That said, in my early thirties, I'd be happy to maintain in the 13-15% bf range. I just happen to be very estrogenic where I hold a lot of sticky fat deposits so that is how low I have to go to look lean.

My plan:
- Continue to stick to a clean diet with calories under 1500 and carbs under 100g.
- eliminate dairy, soy and wheat since I already am so estrogenic
- Continue to train 3x a week with my trainer
- At least get a minimum of three to four am cardio sessions in
- The only real difference is instead of one major cheat meal on Sat nights, I may have smaller off-program meals as my schedule calls for. This means that I will only be able to do so when I am out with friends in social situations as opposed to sitting at home and eating junk. If this doesn't work as well as I hope, then I may have to modify my plan, but we'll see for now.
- I plan to take levorex, sesamax, alcar, green tea extract and t-rex daily as supplements. I will start using YES again too once I get some of this vacation bloat and fat off in the next week or two.

I'm glad to be logging again. I definitely missed everyone here and have a lot of reading to do.
