Backsliding and recovering

So yeah...

I went all the way down to 155 pounds and felt pretty good besides not feeling that strong. Then injuries and life happened...

Right now I am back up to ~210 and went up even further due to working an extra job, having a few injuries, my gym changing it's schedule and eventually closing, and just not prioritizing the maintenance. Really though, the only person that I can blame is myself. Circumstances did not help me, but we shouldn't let obstacles determine our final outcome.

So now begins the new goal and deadline. As of today it is 72 days until I plan to leave for Thailand again to get married. Without healthywage.com to worry about (the BMI thing is crap if you work out and have more muscle) I can focus more of gaining strength and the muscle gain/fat loss will come naturally. I think with the extra cardio focus before I lost muscle just to hit a arbitrary number. One of my new trainers said 180 with muscle would look good on me and would be achievable in that time given a clean diet. I guess we will see...
