First off I apologize for not updating my journal, things haven been really hectic at work and in my personal life but I was able to stick to the diet. These last two weeks the reps and sets were bumped to a 6x6 protocol using the same weights from before.

This last week I took it a little easier on the cardio and only did it 3 times a week for 45 mins as I am starting to get burnt out on it. Energy has been fine but I have been doing the cardio for around 3 months now so its starting to get really boring. I also ran into a problem with my right wrist which has really caused me some pain during the bench press exercises. Some of the last sets on the flat bench were really killing me so its been hard to get through them.

As of this morning my weight was 206 lbs upon first waking up. I plan on taking the diet out one more week and then taking the week of Thanksgiving off of training except for cardio, trying to remain as good as I can nutrition wise. My body could use the rest anyhow. During that week I will decide if I want to continue cutting some more or switch to a more standard nutrition protocol. I have been eyeing jumping into the DFHT 5x5 to gain back some of the strength that I have lost on my core lifts. Seeing the guys in the gym bulking for the winter and doing deads is starting to make me jealous.
