Day 91 and beyond - you thought you'd heard the last from me didn't you?

Diet post regime has been fairly strict.  I haven't gone off the rails with my new found freedom.  Still eating the same volumes of food, still eating the same types.  The one thing that's changed is that I am no longer counting grams.  The general rule of thumb is 60:20:20.  60% vegetables, 20% protein, 20% carbs on any plate.

The no-counting rule also extends into the exercises.  The only counting to be done nowadays is the number of sets.  All exercises are done to failure.

Failure.  An interesting concept.  There are two types of failure when working out.  First is where your mind fails as a result of the pain of the workout, second is where your muscles fail and you can no longer carry out the required movement.  This is the one to go for.  You must feel and embrace the burn, accept it and move on.

Onwards and upwards eh?
