BW: 78.3kg
Activity: 6000 @ 2200
Waking HR: 58 (PR)

Post refeed weighing of 78.3kg on the halfway point of this cycle is pretty good. I shud expect to be in the 77kgs anytime by the next 5 days. I think i will look leaner and weigh less tmr morning after the refeed water comes off.

Nutrition
Meal 1 - 75g whey in water
Meal 2 - 90g whey in 300mL lowfat milk, steamed veges.

done, that shud be around 120g of protein.

Mental fog is heavy but im keen to get thru today and punch in the clock. While running my heart rate went crazy, hovered over 160bmp and got up to a max of 214!! so idk, either im really unfit or theres measurement error or both.

Of course your HR would have nothing to do with the PSMF I guess  :ninja:

I don't want to sound like a prick and half the time I'm not sure I even know what I'm doing but seriously mate, you start a no carb/no fat diet, have a shitty workout and then go and smash some maccas to make yourself feel better. Because #recovery. Stop thinking in terms of 10 day cuts and mini cuts and mini bulks and whatever else. It's so frustrating to sit here and see you spin your wheels. You say you're unathletic/obese but I call bullshit. You've got great ability, dedication, super long arms and when you train and eat in a sane fashion you get great strength gains too. Fix your relationship with food first and everything else will take care of itself.

(yes I realise this is a case of pot/kettle given how I train but fuck me it's so frustrating to see someone else do it)

BW: 77.5kg (PR!)
Waking HR: 54 (But the very first reading i took was like 47, couldnt replicate that and eventually the readings were about 60)
Activity: 10k

Yesterday i did 2 shakes and no solid food. Today and tmr i will do the same thing but on friday nigth im gonna eat carbs so i sleep better and LIFT well saturday. Then sunday and monday can be all shakes too. Paradoxically last night my activity meter registered some of the best sleep ive had yet at around 2hrs of deep sleep! So that's interesting, not waht i'd expect at all.

I have that stupid basketball game tonight .. and i cant get out of it this week :( going to try to stay on the bench, saturday's squats take precedent and i must conserve recovery resources.

well fk, i played the game after breaking my 19hr fast with 75g of whey in water an hour before the game. i still havent eaten a solid meal since i think tuesday night. literally felt suicidal driving to the court .. couldnt focus, my mood was shit. after the game im buzzing off a high. i cant explain it, i guess something about competitiveness turned on switches in my brain and suddenly things dont seem so bad lol.

edit been talking to this girl online for about a week, kinda my type and we've had good banter. Tonight after the game on said high, I mentioned have gone to Ikea and Myer over instagram DM to look for something and she said i love ikea, and i said we should go. you miss every shot you dont take. i prob wasnt gna ask her out any other time but im kinda glad i took the opportunty when it came up. she didnt say flat out no but it wasnt a yes, more of a polite no, 'time is a commodity, my friend'. would be dumb to try again i think? I wish she'd said yes tho, oh well, let me salvage some pride and move on

yeh you right. i didnt meet her on some online dating app tho. knew her irl kinda thru acquintances so i cant just ask her out straight up, would be a bit akward if she declined. but nevermind, at least i wont waste more time now. also girls will agree to something just to go out wiht you and then change the venue/activity to suit them in my experience .. it's saying yes thats' important not so much what you initially propose doing

ah, then yeah best to be careful. a friend of mine is dealing with a related situation right now: crushing on/flirting with her neighbor but needing to play it real slow and make super sure he's interested before she makes a move because he lives literally 20 feet away from her. don't want to create an awkward-elevator situation if you don't have to

BW: 76.1kg (PR)
Total Activity: 10k units

BS 2x110(p1; yikes), 3x100(i think i paused 2 of these), 6x90, 8x70
BP 2x3x85(LPR)
Back Xtn 35deg 2x15x35kg(PR; vest+25kg plate)
Prowler push - 10 reps with 100-20kg
HIIT C2 rower, 6x20:20
TM run 3km total in 2 sets: 1km @ 10km/hr, 2km @ 7.5km/hr

Notes:
good workout, except the shitty squats. gna have dinner (rice and beans yay) and get some quality rest. sunday and monday are the last 2 days of this 10 day cut, ima try to get in decent amounts of fasted walking in and burn some extra adipose. Has been a successful cut dare I say, although i do wish i had better squats but it's understandable considering all the extra codnitioning i did.

BW: 76.7kg
Activity: 6000

Small bounce on the scales after the small refeed. I wonder where i'll end up by end of this cycle. Didn't sleep super well tho, was super humid and that no doubt affects recovery but otherwise feel pretty refreshed. Gna try get activity to 6k but nothing crazy last minute.

Nice job on the weight loss

It's easier to keep up than it is to catch up...
