Starting out the month of May pretty well. Reset my IIFYM macros based on my 211 pounds (waking) on May 1. Reset them for 1 gram of protein and .45 grams of fat per pound of muscle mass. Formerly, these numbers were set to higher / lower amounts, respectively (IIFYM recommended). But I was rarely able to hit the protein number. I think these new, more realistic numbers will work out great.
Up to 212.0 for a pre-dinner weigh in after 211.0 this morning. Have had regularity issues for three days, which explains much of it. Upped my good fat intake tonight (almonds) to get near my macro and pulled out the big guns on the issue: Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears. These little translucent, multicolored beauties have achieved legendary status as the ultimate go-to laxative. There are tomes written about their efficacy and they are recognized as being so effective that vendors now charge a surplus for them -- when you can find them at all. For months, they've been on amazon.com for 30 dollars, but I scored a pound of them for about 15 the other day. First day, I took three to be safe. Nothing. Yesterday, I upped it to six. Nothing. Tonight, I went to 13 (the recommended serving) and had dinner. An hour later, nothing. So I popped ten more. At this point, I'm going to see what it takes (if it works at all). If not, well, I guess I'm the new champ over what is considered the baddest product out there. By the way, Konsyl psyllium had a good rep, too, and it failed with me.
Anyway, will do a bit of weight lifting and as much treadmill work as I need to hit my maximum fat metabolizing rate for today. Happy May, everyone!
