Progress!

So, it would seem that progress is happening?

I'm eating at least 3,000 calories every day, and on days where I work out, usually more. Sometimes as much as 3,900 calories.

Although I'm still struggling to eat this much, mainly when it's in the form of largely flavourless peanuts. Yuck!

However, I have progress to report! My work-sets for deadlift was 30kg, or roughly half my body weight at that time. Not only that, I feel much better this week, I'm not nearly so stiff and sore. I'm actually thinking I might be able to hit the gym twice (!) this week.

I weighed myself this morning, and came in at 64kg. I'm cautious about it, as my other half has been getting inconsistent readings from the scales recently, so we're not sure what's going on in that region.

It's worth noting that 64kg was my original target, given that 64kg is a "healthy" weight for someone my size (judging by BMI). I'm not too fussed about how heavy I get now, I have a lot of goals that don't revolve around the scale. I know how I want my body to look, and I know how much weight I want to be able to lift.

Also, not getting entirely shattered in a V would be super.

I also got a camera:

So now you get actual progress pics, hurrah you, "lucky" reader.

My other half also thinks that my eyes are looking a lot less sullen, which is good. When I got my hair cut, I thought I looked like the walking dead due to how gaunt my face was.

On the Jitsu side of life, tonight is the pre-grading. I've missed a lot of Jitsu this term, so I wouldn't be any good in the grading. No orange belt for me. Obviously, I'm here, writing this and not bouncing off the mat. That's for next week.
