2/4 - 2/6

Nice weekend and kept the diet right on point on Sunday. Energy levels were down on Saturday since it was a low carb day and did cardio, but felt better yesterday and now I feel right back to normal. Didn't weigh myself today but I try not to since I usually tend to go up a very little bit after a high carb day (don't need to mess with myself mentally). Strength is still awesome and increasing on a lot of principle lifts; I'm apparently eating enough to help maintain the muscle mass I have (if not gain) but still lose body fat. Liking how things are shaping up and really feeling good through my workouts.

Side Note: Walks at night with my girlfriend have been nice, and are adding extra cardio in. Since neither of us are really booking it I don't have to worry about overdoing it (plus I always have bcaa's with me anyway) and it's just a good way to maybe add a little extra work into my day, while still staying out of a muscle-wasting zone. She knows it's a good thing for me and she likes going on walks in general, so just a good way for some light, leisurely, but extra cardio. Plus helps my legs feel a bit less sore too actually.
