YEAH. Beat that Gabor.

All indicators point to this being a good time to de-load. Of course, looking back on yesterday, there's a more logical explanation for my fails with the OHP: strength and energy are down because the diet has been reigned back in. I ate like a mofo over xmas/new years (it was glorious) and was utilising those extra calories at the start of the week. But now it's back on the re-composition road; daily calories are locked in, along with my workaday routine. 

Still weighing in at around 127 kilos. I'm happy about this, but walking around at between 120 and 125 (without sacrificing strength, of course) still remains the goal. I don't know for sure how the months of little to no activity post-surgery are going to affect my weight on the scale, but I will be upping my calories to assist the healing process, and possibly shaving some more junk off the edges of my food pyramid as I go, to try and minimise fat gain.

Much is still pretty uncertain.
