The third week is over! Slowly getting routine of eating 5-6 meals and cardio! Training has always been good for me, so I don’t focus on it. So, when I cut I shift my focus over to cardio and my diet. I believe that a strict, well-followed diet will produce better/more results than simply training harder.
Physical Changes: Down 2lbs! I am now at 174lbs. Core is getting tighter. Legs are showing more striations (quads). My whole body is more vascular and tighter. I am getting weaker though, which makes sense because I am on a caloric deficit. I do not expect to gain strength from this cut, only to maintain what I have.
Mental Changes: More focused on my goals and my life. I am able to deter distractions in my life whenever I need to accomplish something (basically, less junk food lol). My main mental focus is getting in my meals in a timely manner and doing cardio.
