Fat Loss: Week Five, Day One
All right, another week closer to sub 10%! 
Today (except for the very end) I was pretty strict with myself on limiting calories due to coming off of a Saturday where I went way over the top and yesterday's free day back to back. I didn't have anything at all until late in the morning, just a protein drink at noon, and then just one slice of pizza mid-afternoon (leftovers... what are you gonna do, toss 'em out?). It's the end of the month and we're a bit light on groceries so I opted for an old standby: a can of tuna with some mayo and pepper in a bowl.
When I totalled things up, I saw that I was only at about 1,150 calories for the day so I decided I could afford to spring for some tortilla chips and salsa... which are my personal version of kryptonite. I still came in almost 200 calories under target, which is fine due to the previous two days of eating.

Although I didn't have one continuous gut-busting workout today, I did have a few smaller ones that were very intense, for a total workout duration of a whopping 14 minutes.
Now that I've adjusted to working out daily I'm determined to continue to increase the intensity/difficulty level of my workouts. Today I threw in Turkish Get-Ups and jacknife pushups in addition to giving one-handed swings with the 54 lb kettlebell a shot.
