so, I started my program last night. i limited my protein to 20g and I did the following:

3x20 db flies 5lb
3x20 db front lat raise 5lb
3x20 db curls 5lb
3x20 db tri kickbacks 5lb

i woke up a hour and half early so only got 6hr sleep or so and had a headache all day. Felt a bit nauseous too most the morning.


tonight I bumped all that by 5 more reps, but doubled my proteintoday because I felt like poo most the morning and felt better after I had some chicken. i am a bit of a weeny and don't liek feeling poopy, especially when it affect my work ;n; gonna cut back again tomorrow and see how it go.

Do you have an idea of how many total calories you took in throughout the day?

yeah, I am eating for maintenance, not cutting calories, just altering the source/composition. if I start losing weight I am going to eat more carbs/fat. i weigh myself daily before my morning shower and was down .4lb this morning (unusual). maybe a bit dehydrated.

good news is my arms dropped a quarter inch, which I gonna attribute to the muscle not being so soggy. Same thing happen when I do core work a few days in a row after not doing it a while.

also, it occur to me this morning that what I doing may be counter productive because there a chance my body may prioritize repairing the damages muscles over maintaining unused ones and catabolis lower body mass of protein is insufficien, so in a actually want to do the opposite of what I am doing. I gonna keep monitoring and adjust if I start seeing any undesirable results. So far, no changes in lower body measurements.

Not to be crass, but I think I only ever measured one body part when I was younger rofl. And it wasn't my arms.
