Notes From Rest Week

So... I'm pretty frustrated about getting sick.  I really wanted to see how my body responded to the rest and the extra sleep... but the virus made it really difficult to tell.  I definitely feel rested... but also yucky.

 

Weight loss seemed to continue without interruption.  I have a suspicion that cortisol may play a big role for me in all this.  Time will tell.

Workout and Food Log

I'm going out this evening, so I thought I would log my day now :).
