Alright, I spent a buttload of time trying to lose weight for the week. I was down to 246.5 my new low. This was in preparation for Thanksgiving. So I didn't eat all day. I wanted to save up as many calories as possible. I ate at my parents as is the usual custom. The food was the best it has ever been. I had three servings on the big ol' holiday plates. Of course I also brought home leftovers.
All in all it was a far cry from my usual eating festivals. The next morning I woke up to a surprised and bloated 253.5. Seriously, seven pounds. I wasn't even trying. I thought I'd wake up maybe just a pound or two over.
What's worse is I thought I'd have a killer bench session on Friday. That wasn't the case. I could only muster up 410 for 6 reps. I thought I'd be good for at least eight. So be it. You can't be your strongest every week.
Guess it is time to treadmill off some weight.
