Reflections
This was another one of those weeks where there are a lot of words up there, but it looks like more than what it really was. I had a lot of power and energy at the beginning of the week, but by the end it was really starting to lessen with each workout. I would say that part of the problem was that I was trying to experiment with my workouts a little too much. That really becomes messy, especially when you don't think these things through before going to the gym.
I kept on a decent Primal eating regiment this week. I actually made and enjoyed two meals from the Primal cookbook I reviewed, and they were delicious (BLTA Chicken Breast Sandwiches and Salmon, Egg, and Asparagus Rollups!). True to form, I did manage to find a way to screw with my diet by snacking on some of the worst primal approved foods possible. That might have been the downfall that helped with me gaining back two pounds this past week.

Goals for Next Week
This coming week is the time that I need to get my motivation back! I've not lost it by any means, but it definitely needs to be restructured. I've got to get firm with my diet and exercise. My free time needs more structure as well.
I'm going to have to start keeping some eggs hard boiled and some broccoli, celery, and carrots ready for times of weakness this week. Other than that, along with sticking to a strict primal diet, I plan to at least cook two more recipes from my primal cookbook. I want to start taking pictures and posting about it as well.
My gym routine needs to be planned out for this week. I want to be sure of what I'm going to do before I get in there, whether it's 30 deadlifts or 30 squats, rows or lateral pulls, and etcetera. I don't think that variation is a problem, as long as it's structured. I want to keep my muscles guessing that way the workout never gets boring, but I don't want to waste my time in the gym with guesswork in figuring out what I'm going to do next.
