So I am sleeping better but still not good enough. After I wrote last week, I had about 3 nights in a row of crappy sleep and 3 days in a row of very lethargic like days at work. But...once again, I slept great Saturday night because my wife and I went out Saturday night and I had grilled salmon and steak with rice pilaf, to my advantage the meals were very dry and contained little added oils. Not only that, my 3 year old Tyler slept over my brothers house....this allowed us to stay in bed a little longer than normal and I believe this has helped immensely. It is Tuesday now and I am still feeling pretty good, I am sure by Friday or Saturday the cycle will be starting over again.  During my posing class on Sunday, I was speaking to one of the guys who is taking the class as well and he said he is experiencing the same thing. So, I am happy I am not alone but I still believe that it shouldn't be this way.

More good news on my weigh in, I dropped to 5.6% (see chart below) and managed to have a good fat-to-muscle loss ratio. Overall since I started dieting in February, I have managed to lose 6.5 pounds with 1.5 of it being muscle...roughly a 4:1 ratio which can be considered a very good ratio.

If I can manage to continue at this pace I should be close in BF% that I was 2 years ago (3.8%) but I should be about 2 pounds of muscle heavier. This may not sound like much muscle but where I come in extremely lean, 2 pounds of extra muscle will only enhance my muscularity.

I have uploaded my current diet for anyone who has any interest in seeing precisely what I am eating. (http://www.2-fit.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=44&func=fileinfo&id=36)
I follow this regiment to a "T" for 4-5 days a week, the other days I may substitute a meal or two depending on my needs. It is all about knowing your body and how it functions during this period of dieting.

One more thing, I want my current clients to know that even though I feel like crap during the day, I..for some reason, perk right up when they come over for a training session or even a follow up assessment and I want to say "Hi" and thanks for your support, especially to Kathy and Stacey. My day goes by much more faster and enjoyable when I train with them at night.

Ok....time to eat now  :-)
