    Last week was interesting. Worked my butt off at work, only made it to the gym once, TDEE was lower, upped my calories, and hung tight at 125.0 lbs for the second week.

    On Friday I lost my job. Best thing that could have ever happened to me. I was so miserable there and now I have time to get my crap together and work on myself. I've got time, so I decided to switch to the Power Muscle Burn 4-day split instead on the 3-day. Super excited!

    Damn, dude! I was laid off from my job as well back when I was going through my D. It was honestly a relief for me as well!

    You've been given a wonderful opportunity to take a step back and care for yourself during this time. Good for you for seeing the light shine through during this tough transition. Keep it up girl!! Doing great!

    Okay, today's the first day I can objectively say I'm looking fat LOL. Six more weeks of bulking, then comes the slight deficit. Getting excited.

    You're on the home stretch ! Almost there!! You can do it!!!! Once I hit the "one month left" mark, it became mentally much easier to deal with the "omgfat" part. You rock!!!

    I love the "pre-poop" caveat. That's hysterical.

    What's your final goal again - man you're tiny at 130!! LOL I can' wait to see the results after the cut- built tiny girls- HAWT. sorry- LOL- seems to be a tendency for shorter folks to have a better tendency to pack on the muscle - so YAY.

    How are the lifts coming?

    My total gain since October 12 is only around 6 lbs. I'm going to gain another 3-5 lbs in the next 5 weeks. I'm eating like crazy and my lifts are increasing at a pretty high rate. Bench went from 65 to 85, squat from 115 to 135, OHP from 55 to 70, and DL from 110 to 155.

    Week 19. Three weeks to go.

    Weight: 130.0 lbs (total gain of 6 lbs)
    Body fat: 21.7% (102 lbs LBM, total gain of 4 lbs)
    Shoulders: 39 in.
    Biceps: 10.75 in.
    Forearms: 9.5 in.
    Bust: 34 in.
    Strapline: 29 in.
    Waist: 26.5 in.
    Bellybutton: 28 in.
    Hips: 37 in.
    Thighs: 21.5 in.
    Calves: 13.5 in.

    So, things are moving in the right direction. The scale is moving up (thanks to me being less strict about logging on the weekends as well as my lifting sessions kicking *kitten*). I'm giving this three more weeks and then I'm going to start a really slow cut. Adding running and decreasing my calorie very, very slightly. I think I'll start with 2500 calories (down from 2600) and see how that goes I'd like to keep final calories around 2200-2400/day. What can I say, I like to eat!
