I have this goal to lose 6-8% body fat while maintain a weight of 190lbs before my wedding day on 9/28/2018. I'm currently at 26.6% and 202.5 lbs as of this morning. I haven't worked out in a very long time and I'd like to look good as possible since my Bride will be taking all of the attention anyways ;). I can say that my workout routine is pretty abysmal. I never leave the gym feeling like I gave it my all, I'm not sure if it's the lack of motivation or if I'm not challenging myself enough. I will be updating this forum pretty much daily, but always a day behind, with a recap of my Macros and any workouts. I'll take any suggestions from anyone. As for a picture of myself, I'll post that when I have a few minutes unrelated to the wedding. However here is what I've done so far and I'm sorry for all the data, I am a very thorough person.

Yesterday was my leg day. I'm not sore at all so I don't feel like I did much, a little stiff but that's it. Maybe my endurance isn't up to par yet or I'm not lifting enough?

Honestly wasn't motivated to do crap. Work kinda ruined my day, stuck in my 17-mile commute with no AC in 106-degree temps for over an hour didn't help, street blocked because someone was moving in. I really didn't feel like getting to the gym after all that. However, yesterday I said I wasn't feeling sore, today I feel a little sore after my workout on Wednesday. I did keep my macros mostly in check, my bad day made me want to eat a taco bowl from the local taqueria which had cheese, which spiked my fat intake.
