Down 5lbs and Still Lifting Heavy!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog:)

So I have previously mentioned the importance of building lean muscle, eating whole foods and focusing more on your energy levels and how you LOOK versus the numbers on the scale...

I have been focusing on eating cleaner by the week, incorporating more,  new nutritious food items to my meal plan and drinking a LOT of water... This seems to be working because I'm still able to lift REALLY heavy, my energy levels are high, bodyfat % is dropping and the scale is barely shifting... Since January 7th till now I have lost a total 5lbs on the scale, but my clothes are fitting much looser and I'm able to do a lot more chinups.. This means my back is stronger and more muscular and my lower body is a lot leaner, exactly what I was hoping to achieve! I've gone from 160lbs to 155lbs and from doing 10-12 assisted gravitron chinups with 30-40lbs of assistance to 5 chinups ZERO asssitance !!! This was a long time goal of mine, something I wasn't even able to do during my contest prep for Ontario Naturals in 2010!

I even took a pic of the scale today... I know I look a lot lighter (according to anyone who tries to guess my weight) .. but, NO! I am not 130-135! Im a solid 155lbs :)
My diet consists of a lot of lean protein, dietary fats and clean carbs!! Still having a lot of dairy and I won't be cutting that out anytime soon. Sodium is still very high aswell.
I will be posting some workout vids soon, just waiting on my high resolution camera! :)

Have an awesome weekend and stay tuned for more updates ;)
