106/69 Blood Pressure
68 Pulse

I still do not have glucose test strips. When I go to the doctor next time I'm going to see if he can write me a prescription for them so they don’t cost so dang much. They want 125 bucks for 100 test strips or 50 for $75. That’s nuts!!!

This week I added 250 calories to my daily intake. The scale sure shows it this morning since I weighed in at 174 which is up 1.8 pounds from last week. I am not surprised at this. I stuck to the right foods but ate over my maintenance calories two days this week. Normally I would be stressed about the extra weight but at the beginning of the week I decided to take some body measurements in case this sort of thing happened. Both my waistline and my belly have not increased in size so this tells me that some of the new weight could actually be muscle gains. I am still happy with the progress I see in the mirror so I am going to stick with this plan until I start to see my waist or belly size increase. If I find I am adding girth in these areas I will scale back the calories a little bit. Basically I am at the point where I am trying to do a body re-composition where I build muscle and lose fat at the same time. (hopefully)

On the exercise front it was a good week. I feel better overall with the extra calories in my diet. My workout recovery has been a little bit better and my workouts have felt strong. I didn’t skip any days this week and I felt like I had beneficial workouts each time. I went up on my deadlifts again. Next week I will deadlift more than I weigh for the first time. That makes me feel good! I also started doing regular squats with the barbell instead of dumbbell squats. I am doing light weight (75lbs) and concentrating on form since I plan to have my power rack by the end of next month. Then the real heavy lifting begins since I can be safe doing it with the cage! When it is time to switch up my routine I think I may do the stronglift 5x5 program for a while, then go back to my current routine after I stop making gains on the stronglift program.

I hope everyone has a great day and nice Memorial Day extended weekend.
