Nothing too special about this week. Did gain some strength. Which is always a plus. I can see myself becoming smaller, as my pants and underwear become looser. The tops are becoming loser in the mid section but remains about the same at the shoulders and back, as I my width remains the same.
Diet is still 1600. Nothing to complain there, except trying to find very clever ways to eat 1600 calories, and eat things like chicken breast.
Other than that, a basic week.
