Thursday 20
Resting HR 70. My lower back is tight allowing limited lumbar extension. I felt some tightness in the gym yesterday but I'm not certain what is the cause. One day eating out (Calhoun's Oriental Chicken Salad, Azul Tequila 2 grilled chicken tacos, rice, and beer) and I'm back over 170. I still think I'm eating cleaner and this will pay off.
