Mar 24.

What a whirlwind.

Took a week off for period time. There is no sense in tracking weight during that time. It futile and frustrating.

Weight is stuck at 130, despite frequent exercise and pretty damn clean eating.

A couple impacting factors:

NEED MORE WATER

NEED MORE SLEEP

Seriously. These two pieces are huge. I can control the water, and some days are much better than others. But SLEEP. UGH. Two small kids + child's medical issues = 6/7 interrupted nights of sleep per week. Seriously interrupted.

Lack of sleep = fatigue = sluggish energy = minimal eating = slower metabolism, etc. It's a vicious cycle. And totally outside my control.

So, I have to dig deeper to shake these last five pounds and make more muscle. Half-way photos are in 9 days. I need to be at 129 steady by Apr 1.

Changes:

WATER (64oz per day)
No booze for the next three nights
Limit drinks to two for Fri (Ringside date night); one for Sat (bday); one for Sun (more bday); NONE next Mon, Tues.
Make sure that meals are tried-and-true equation: protein + healthy fat + veggies
