Trapped By A NEW PR!

     I was pleased with how the deadlifts went. I know that they'll always give a bigger weight than conventional, but I like mixing them up because I think it's going to benefit my grip strength. I also think it may help with the bottom part of the lift. We'll have to see. 

     I had started doing some single arm lat pull downs but I just didn't like the way they were feeling. I don't know if I was getting tired, or what, but I wasn't feeling as though they were hitting where they should be. I only did a couple and then moved on, that's why I didn't log them. The pullups also aggravated me. I'm just weak as weak can be on those and it pisses me off. 

     I was totally gassed by the time we left tonight. I'm trying my damnedest to keep my nutrition on point but I'm struggling. My fat is always a little over what it should be, I can't hit my protein and my calories are always short. I can't seem to figure out how to get enough protein and calories without sending the fat over the cliff. I'm flummoxed. It's going to require some more Googling and reading to figure out if I have the right goals set. Maybe I'm aiming at the wrong targets. I don't know. What I do know is that I'm mentally tired from thinking about food 24/7. The scale is still plateaued at the 5lb loss. I'm ready to chuck it out the window. 

    All that being said, I'm still moving in the right general direction. I exert myself 4 days a week, and I'm making positive strides in eating better. I have to be happy with that for now. Now it's tea time.
