It's not often I disagree with Senor Chillen, but I wouldn't start a journal or do anything other than what you've been doing. 16# in 2 months is ideal! Your protocol has worked fine for you so far! Keep it up. If, after a time, the benefits start slowing, then try the other ideas, but for now, KISS.
I'm interested in seeing how lean you become and then how muscular you become afterwards.
No problem, one doesn't fix what is not broken, journals are not for everyone, it can be done without one. It was a more of a suggestion. One does what works for them
But a journal for feelings has a place for some, and can be a tool to adapt and overcome alot if mental complications along ones path, and this can be implemented....anytime.
I posted this in Beth's diary, when she was having a complication with her leg fatigue, and this base shows how being detailed can assist: (see below)
I mean sometimes nutritional factors can play a role. Calorie consumption can play a role as well as recovery factors, in a feeling like this. In addition, to consuming enough water. In other times, it can "be the body" just being plain lazy, but your mind is wanting to run the indy 500. What I am saying is there could be some variable here causing your situation.
This is one reason, I like training journals (where you input your feelings, along with the training and rest times), and another reason I like diet journals. One can use this to "sometimes" pin point possible problems and narrow down causes, and can provide potential solutions.
Personaly I would rather have data to work with, then not at all and wonder what the problem is or where its coming from. Especially with a new person, but this is just me. Im not a certified personal trainer. I mostly go off my self education and experience.
