This was an interesting week. After tweaking my back last Friday I took it easy this week. I still walked two miles for 30 minutes every weekday. I only did one chest/shoulder workout this week. At the start of the week I set my calories to 2100 since I was not working out. I actually had a hard time eating that much many of the days. The hunger just isn’t there if I’m not working out. I ended up losing a pound which was expected even though my goal right now is to gain mass slowly.

My back is feeling good again. No pain for two days now. It’s just extremely tight feeling. I will continue to stretch it. Next week I’m back to working out and plan to eat a over maintenance calories for the first time. I mini-bulk I suppose. According to IIFYM my TDEE is 2440 with exercise 5 times a week. According to Fat Secret my calculated TDEE for April was 2842. I will average these two and round up at tad to come up with 2650 calories for next week. I’ll try this for two weeks and see where I end up.

Blood sugar was a little higher than I would have liked right when I woke up. I took it again once I got to work and it was down to 99. Overall it’s higher than I would like to see but my average blood sugar for all my tests this week is 106. This includes a lot of post meal readings. I feel like this is acceptable for now but I hope to see some lower morning time readings as I continue to get healthier.

Have a great weekend everyone!
