As I get closer to goal I notice that a lot of things are really starting to get tricky. My biggest complaint isn't lowering my calories it's actually the fact that I can't put on muscle anymore atleast that's what it seems like. I use to get use to my workout routines fairly easily and I eat plenty of protein but now it's like it takes longer and longer for my body to adjust to changes and I haven't even been able to up my reps or weights in almost a month. It's frustrating because I need to lose the fat so I can't up my calories to build the muscle so I feel like I'm stuck.
I've also noticed that when I am bloated it makes a huge difference now. Before if I was bloated I didn't look that much different I just felt different now it's visible and you can see it in my face and how my pants fit. Makes me sad when I'm seeing progress and then I'll eat to much salt or my hormones act up and bam my progress appears to have disappeared.
Finally, I have no idea why but I'm starting to feel extremely socially awkward. I don't like the way people notice you more when your smaller and I feel like I'm being put under a microscope more and I don't know what to talk about since most of my time spent is on my weight loss, exercise, documentarys, meditation, and taking care of with my niece. In a weird way I find the new attention a little insulting and I don't know why. I think I prefered it when I didn't get many looks.
