Week Fifteen

A small gain, or maybe I'm just flat this week.  I was 230 today, I fluctuated between 228 and 231 during the week.  I was a little lax on food this week, but I expect a short term gain for a few weeks or to remain flat.  I've started a new work out routine.  Instead of randomly lifting weights when I feel like it and with no structure to what exercises I do and on what days, I started a real program.  I'm doing the Stronglifts 5x5 plan.

The difference was huge and immediate.  I've done 3 workouts with it.  It's an every other day program, with half the workouts being arms, back, and core, and the other half being chest and core.  It also increases the weight of each lift by 5 lbs each workout.  It's working.  I can really tell the changes after only 3 workouts.  I expect this to slow my weight loss down for a few weeks but to accelerate it in the long run.  It will also help me with my longer term goal of getting stronger, leaner.  I want my dadbod to be solid.
