Day 299: Thursday Weigh In 300 Day Mark

9:15am: Good morning! Right now I'm just getting ready to go lift some weights. I usually make my post after but I figured I'd do it before. Today marks 300 days that I've been on this 'journey'.  I can't wait to see how I do!

11:35am: At 11am I had my post workout whey shake. 
At 11:30am I had 33g of white rice with 1/3 of a cup of egg whites.


Weights:

Squats:
200x6

185x4 (Dropped weight to work on getting thigh parallel) no increase

Seated calf raise:
120x10x2 +5lbs from 5/23

Hanging knee raise: (New exercise replacing glut-ham sit-up)

So, I gained 1lb this week. I honestly thought I would either be even or gain a pound or two after the two bad days that I had. But I'm not really letting it bring me down, I just need to work on my mental discipline.


Since today marks my 300 day mark, I took pictures of myself to compare to previous photos of myself.
