Slack but not horrible weekend - a little over, but not too much, for 2 of 3 days. Abs still sore from THU medicine ball work.

2/26 AM - Less this MON than last MON (about 1 lb) - so slow progress, but progress. Keep it up. Goal this week - add one run during the week & one on weekend.

AM - 5 reds 500m row, 15 KB, 6 x OHS, PU/Dips (@130 - partitioned on rounds 3-5 - stay here for a bit).

Bad rating day - a little over on just the meals, then binged on potato chips and a big slice of cake. Somehow dropped weight overnight...know it’s not directly linear, curious what tomorrow’s weight will be. Thought about going for a run - wimped out and only walked the dog - weak sauce.

2/27 AM - 10R/10G/10R followed by light ab work & light Turkish get-ups followed by some ab stretching. I am STILL sore from last THU ab work out...

Good day yesterday. Good water, good eating, AM workout plus 2 hours of BJJ/Bx - 3 rds with the big BB; clinic on HG passing, etc.

2/28 - 5 rds Row, 15 x KB, 10 x OHS (addition of +4), PU/Dips #130 unpartitioned (go -10 next time)

Over ate dinner last night - “starving” and tired. PM - 2 hours BJJ. Can’t believe my abs are still sore from last THU’s medicine ball WO (sure two night’s of BJJ contributed to continuing soreness).

3/1 AM - 10R/10G/10R followed by some light ab work (really just stretching them out) and more stretching on big ball.

Felt like I was binge eating for dinner, but somehow the calories (still eyeball estimating, haven’t measured anything yet) came out around goal. Not sure if the weekday run will happen or not - or if it’s realistic or not. 0300 wake-ups to AM workout, plus a couple of nights of BJJ just have me smoked.

AM - 5rds Row, 20 x KB (addition of +5), 10 x OHS, PU/Dips @120 (partitioned at 2nd rd and pretty much failure at 5 on last - stay here for a bit).

Making five good, small, steps forward during the week & then taking a couple of giant steps backwards on the weekend. Lack of discipline. Overall still averaging about a 0.5 lb/week loss rather than the goal of 1 lb/week. Gotta fix the weekends. Didn’t make the 2 x run goal last week - just tired, smoked & mostly indisciplined.

AM - 5 rds, @120 - made it thru unpartioned (barely); think I’m cheating the range of motion, so will stay at 120 for a bit.

2 hours of good BJJ last night. AM - R/G/R then light stretching for lower back - think I pushed too hard with the KB yesterday. Sore/tight yesterday & still today.

A “pig out” last night and didn’t log it. Only stretching this AM - lower back is tight. Just call it a bad night & smart(?) recovery morning. Positive discipline for getting up and getting to the gym.
