Great drop! 

I’ve learned enough now that I’m like @Chris, I know the days I’m going to gain, and it’s always Sunday’s, without fail. Looking back to try and figure out why...and Saturday’s is the only day I eat out, has to be the sodium. I cannot pin point any other reason. Considering to eat out a different day to observe. I’m becoming a nerd at this, lol! But being as consistent as humanly possible, it’s easy to see the predictions. Thanks Chris. Your info is invaluable to me. I’m learning a lot. Thanks buddy!! 

Yet I drink soooo much water. Hmmm 

This time around I’m not seeing a pattern. Last summer it was Tuesday weights and cardio then Friday was a class (could be cardio, weights or a mix). I started adding in weights after the Friday class and usually one day whenever I could get back to town. I also did another round of weights on Tuesday after class because we only used 5-6 machines and I wanted to use 10 or so. Two days between, one would be a low weight and another a high weight then Monday being the third day would be higher which irritated me to no end lol. I’m now using 12 usually and 15 when I have time. No cardio. MWF. Some days it’s high and others it’s low. I was consistent with food last summer and I’m not now. Now I’m aiming for a 100 kcal deficit and up to a 200 kcal surplus. I try to stick to the lower with my meals so I can have a snickers or protein bar to get it into a surplus. Then was low cal and protein from powder, bars and shakes. Now most protein is coming from meat and I’m eating more fat now than I was. Sodium is always all over the place but I do know I retain water at 3000 mg and higher. Been bad about checking it. I also don’t log everything now. If I have one candy one day and two the next then I’ll log all 3, which is a serving, on the 2nd day. I don’t log coffee, mustard and things like lettuce on a burger. Basically 0 cal foods and the really low stuff. I even ate two pieces of broccoli and didn’t log it because the 5-7 kcal isn’t gonna matter. If it’s 25 kcal per day I’ll log. My candy is 20 lol. But it gets logged per serving eaten not individually.  

Chris has helped me a ton too concerning my diet and now lifting! He’s a big cheerleader and teacher here on FS!
