I honestly think upping the protein was what actually pushed it down. My weight is up a bit, and I look much more filled out but body fat has dropped steadily all week a tick or two every time I've checked it.
Back workout went great today and I was able to push a few extra reps on most exercises.
Now that I'm where I wanted to be, I'm gonna ease back on the cardio and only do it twice a week at this point and see if that's enough to stay right where I'm at and just continue to eat higher protein to put on some extra mass.
