Yes, data points are weights- Y axis is weight in pounds and X axis is # day in the diet.
Yeah, the spikes are almost always Monday weights following Sunday carb loads that were not optimally performed, ie, very trashy carb loads. Interesting to see that every peak is lower than the previous, as is every valley. Trend line is good. As to trashy carb loads, I have been playing with cleaning those up, as I don't seem to have the same issue on a standard carb load during the week- I think it's just much easier for me to turn a weekend carb load into a gluttonous cheat.  |

DAY 93
Thursday, 09 August 2012 CBL day 54 Morning weight: 244.6 Lift: bout to go squat, nor sure what I'll do yet as it's an extra day.

Then ran some sets of 5x225, then a few 5x185. Some of those sets at lighter weight were box squats. Squat randomness.
Breakfast: shake with 12oz water, 2T instant coffee, 1T fiber, 3 scoops Carnivor, 3oz half and half Lunch: went and grabbed steak fajitas with a friend- no, I didn't eat the tortillas. Did eat the beans and three or four chips, though. Snack: to the frozen yogurt store with mama and baby- about 6oz yogurt plus some walnuts, peanut butter chips, and caramel. Dinner: about 6oz roast pork loin with peanut sauce and about an ounce or so of sauteed mushrooms. |

Indeed.
So I had been getting somewhat discouraged lately by lack of progress (at least partially due to discipline and needing to find better macro ratios), but homeboy over on the Chaos and Pain blog just posted a good article on diet. Check it out if you get a chance, and remember that his blog is NSFW.

Thanks, brudda. Didn't feel as crisp as some, but did work nonetheless.
My OHP and bench have felt like poo lately, so I was glad to go over prescription on that one. |
