Thoughts:
Good workout today. Definitely feeling better. Though i will say hunger has become more apparent! No cardio today. Also thought I should mention the reason why my squats are so low (WEAK) is because I have been suffering from runner's/jumper's knee, which is basically patellar tendonitis. It causes a lot of pain especially when doing squats. So what I have been doing is terminal knee extensions almost everyday, especially before cardio AND I dropped the weight down on my squats from 260 down to 135 and have been building my strength back up adding 5lbs every week. Plus that I also altered my form, where my stance is wider and making sure my knees are in line with where my toes are pointing. So far, doing this, my knee has been painless. So hopefully this continues and I feel no pain from here on out.

Meals (so far):
Breakfast - 242g LF Cottage Cheese (2%) + 50g Kashi GoLean Cinnamon Crumble Cereal
