left elbow lightly strained. i felt it a little toward the end of the last session but it was okay in the meantime. but this morning i started feeling it a little more and so i cut myself off early. will do some research about elbow rehab and prehab and then start a little self-administered PT, and also take a break from climbing for a bit. bummer but better to stop now than after it gets really hurt.

- run 26:27, 4.75 km

ran to and from gym, before work. wife biked and met me there. let's see if we can start going semi-regularly in the morning, it's much less crowded. plus i've always liked getting workouts done in the beginning of the day, and it's about to start getting hot.

i think that makes sense! sounds like you got very lean anyway - not many people have a visible six pack under any lighting - so it was a success even if you didn't quite make your arbitrary weight goal.

Notes

Decided to call it quits on the cut. Not particularly fun anymore and just a source of stress. Aim is maintenance for a little while then a very slow bulk of like ~5kg in ~12 months.

Fatloss cycle 1 - Week 5

Height = 5'8.5"
Weighed = 89.6kg (+2.7 )    Macrofactor app trend weight - 87.8kg (+0.2)
Waist = 35 1/8 inches (-0.25)
Hip = 41.5 (+1/8) 
Upper thigh = 26 3/8 (+0.25) 

Total loss so far - weight  +0.9kg  Waist -1.25 inch 

All that water weight increase from adding in carbs...
Whole body has blown up as well.

Animal based diet - averaged 2623 calories for the week - 219g protein, 157g fat, 77g carbs

Changed up diet 2 days ago, so numbers no accurately reflecting changes yet
Calories are higher, so if fat/waist loss holds steady then my TDEE has increased from diet change.
Mainly carbs boosting thyroid and hormones back up

Did notice slightly better energy and mood from diet change today
And more stable blood sugar.
Blood sugar tends to start dropping low around this session time on carnivore
And I sometimes get blood sugar drops after I start eating, none so far since diet change.
