    Day 1: Today I did workout A for the first time. It was pretty good and I went pretty light as it was my first time back after a month or two. I worked up to a high weight for squats, which was around 90kg for 12 reps which was alright for a first day back. I went light on everything else however, and due to time constraints I rushed the final two sets. Workout went pretty good and I've had my eating in order for the past 3-4 days or so which meant that I felt way less fatigued but maybe that was due to the sugar free red bull I had an hour before lol.

    This update is kind of an update for both the 19th and the 20th (today). Eating has been the hardest part of the program because I'm so used to just shoving my face and staying somewhat fit, but everything starts from diet right? I'm trying to get 100+g of protein a day but it's difficult as my date won't let me by whey protein and the school dinner barely give us enough food as it is, much less protein. I'm heavily relying on the food that my mom makes at home and store bought protein shakes and bars. I'm not able to workout for the rest of the week as every wednesday evening I get forced to church and today (thursday), which are normally free, I had to help my school with an open day/evening. Saturday I'm going to do a bit of football and a bit of basketball with friends which will definitely last for a few hours.
