Just got back from my travels and I did pretty well trying to avoid the carbs. Trust me, skipping ribs because of the sauce in Kansas City was no easy task. Anyhow, to get myself back on track I recalculated my target totals a little lower than they should be.

New Targets:
Day BMR Cal/day Fat Grams Protein Grams Carb Grams
1 2542 240 95 Less Than 20 Grams
2 2408 201 151 Less Than 20 Grams
3 2275 164 199 Less Than 20 Grams
4 2676 208 201 Less Than 20 Grams
5 2408 187 181 Less Than 20 Grams
6 2275 164 199 Less Than 20 Grams
(Carb Up) 7 3479 39 174 609

Okay, this was my first week of no weight loss at all. I didn't gain any weight however which makes it alright for me. I think the cause for this was that I was only really strict on my diet for three days when I got back from my trip, before that I wasn't getting in nearly enough fat while traveling.

A week off did me good in the gym however as I was able to rest and even add a few lbs to my lifts on bench and military press which I have been stuck at for a while. Other than that I have adapted to the diet pretty well now and don't crave carbs what so ever during the week.

Until next week...

Ok I lost another pound this week and am pretty happy with my overall weightloss to this point. I am down 11 lbs in six weeks which I consider a pretty healthy amount each week. My lifts have all increased slightly, but of course not as often as when I am not cutting.

I made a few changes this week including bumping my Sesathin up to 6ml a day instead of 3.75. I also bumped my R-Ala to 600 mg up from 300 mg.

Cardio was basically non existent except for long walks as I have been flooded with finals and projects these last weeks before graduation. I will probally won't be able to fit much cardio in until my finals are over in two weeks so I have been keeping my diet extremely clean to be safe.

Until next week....

Okay well as suspected my weight remained the same this week. With final projects and finals preparation I wasn't as focused on getting my cardio in and was celebrating at the bars a little to much. I am just happy I didn't add any weight to my totals.

This upcoming week is my finals week and graduation, so needless to say I see myself celebrating and not focusing on my diet as much. I will try to remain good before the weekend but don't really suspect that I will lose any weight.

After next weekend when I can get back to my schedule I will be busting my ass doing some cardio to catchup. I figure I only graduate once and am not going to prevent myself from having fun just cause I want to shed some lbs.

So did you feel a difference with the cit mal/bcaa cocktail?
