Now that I'm on springbreak...Update on progress

So basically I haven't really been making progress LOL, just been maintaining for the most part. Weighing anywhere from 171-174 lbs morning weight. Weight definitely depends on what time I go to bed and what time I wake up. As of lately, before spring break started, I've only been getting an average of about 5 hours of sleep. Therefore, waking up and weighing myself after just 5 hours, I do tend to weigh heavier, but on the other hand, it is vice versa. If I can get at least 7 hours of sleep, of course that gives my body more time to digest over night, and probably leads to a more accurate FASTED weigh-in in the mornings, so I do tend to weigh a lot lighter after 7 or more hours of sleep.

Basic update: Calories are around 2400/day

• 55-60 grams of fat
• 250 grams of carbs
• 225 grams of protein

Basic Cardio:

• Just whenever I feel like doing cardio, sometimes i dont even do cardio at all for the week.
• if i do do cardio, i try for typically at least 2 days a week, nothing hard and nothing long
• Low intensity steady state cardio, about 20-30 minutes on stair master (65 steps per minute)
• OR 8-10 minutes of High intensity interval training (TABATA Style, which is 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, whatever type of training machine you want to use)

Working out:

• Definitely been noticing strength loss!!! Which sucks and beats you down mentally, but Oh Well!!! Technically I have lost 8-10 pounds which is a big difference and therefore, is expected to lose strength!
• Endurance is also struggling but, I did take a de-load/rest week about a week ago, so I do feel it is helping me refocus and slowly helping me to be more effective in the gym again
• Biggest hit is Squats and Deadlifts!!! These definitely went down, but like i said, slowly trying to maintain strength as I lose weight, but very difficult!
• Upper Body Strength (I.E. bench press) is still pretty good. Naturally ive always been pretty decent at bench press, but for sure endurance has gone down.

 Nagging issues:

• I don't know what I've done but my left wrist and right shoulder has been killing me.
• Left Wrist: Definitely cant do supinated bicep curls at the moment, so been doing a lot of hammer curls. Using heat (such as the jucuzzi/hot tub) has increased extensibility in my wrist allowing for more range of motion and less pain, but only for the time being. Hoping this will heal soon
• Also my right shoulder has been hurting. I think it might even be a type of impingement problem. Probably because my internal rotators (Chest and Lats) are overpowering my external rotators (teres minor and infraspintatus) causing impingement of my biceps tendon. 
• So im trying to be careful but still lifting as heavy as possible! The less i think about it, the less it hurts, but that might not be a good thing.

FUN FACT: This past weekend, March 15 and 16, I went over my caloric intake on both days, drunk beer, and ate pizza on both days, and guess what??? WOKE UP WEIGHING MY LIGHTEST IN ABOUT A MONTH. 171!!!! Typically i have been weighing in around 174, crazy huh???   

Morning Weigh-Ins (March)

Every morning I weigh myself fasted and after I use the restroom. My weighing scale is pretty cheap so I think it weighs me less then I really am (by 4-5 pounds, because at my school gym, we have a huge hospital electronic scale that always weighs me heavier, and i think its more accurate!), but since it is my default scale, it makes it consistent for me cause I know it will read my body the exact same way every morning. Furthermore, the weight of my body is JUST A NUMBER! It however it does help me keep track of weight loss. Ultimately I judge myself on the way I feel and look, not by my weight!

I will update and log my weight everyday!

3/1 = 174.6 (a little carb-up day today, in a surplus of 400 calories)
3/2 = 176
3/3 = 175
3/4 = 175
3/5 = 176
3/6 = 175
3/7 = 175
3/8 = 173.5
3/9 = 174
havent been updating cause, due to being busy in school with midterms and everything but here is an approximate of what my weight has been looking like lately, its pretty much been the same, nothing has really changed in my routine or diet, so ive pretty much been maintaining
3/10 = 174
3/11 = 174
3/12 = 175
3/13 = 175
3/14 = 174
3/15 = 173
3/16 = 171.5
3/17 = 171.8
