week 6 & 7 - curve ball

So when I first picked this period of about 6 months to focus on losing weight and gaining more muscle, it was chosen because of the relatively lax schedule. Some how out of the past 7 weeks, I've spent 1 at home. I've driven over 5000 miles this month and spent 12 days somewhere else. As such my iet and exercise routines suffered as to be expected. I don't have an iron will power or anything, plus some family members ( all of them) don't even understand what a diet is or takes to stay on track. 

None the less with some smart decisions and fast paced workouts, I'm down to 281.4. 17.4 lbs down in total which leaves me still on track to lose 2 lbs a week. 

My strength training has been really good as well. 

New benchmarks: 

bench press 225 4x5 

squat 260 3x5 

dead-lift 265 3x5

overhead press (full clean) 155 4x5

that puts my 1 rep max for dead-lift over 300 lbs now, which is pretty crazy. However I did suffer a back strain on Monday which has put the heavy dead lift and squats on hold for another week.
