It’s a very strange feeling. I literally want to drink egg yolks and eat butter while chewing on raw meat
This is because you are deficient in key nutrients.

You need protein and fats…
The thing is, I’m getting in at least 80g protein a day
Is it really a problem when the solution is so simple?
“The problem is I’m tired”
“Do you have to stay up?”
“No”
“Trouble sleeping?”
“No”
“Then go to bed…”

Now get some more of it, and carbs and fats.

Ya, this is a ridiculous thought.
Anna, why don’t you just plan off days? If you don’t trust your intuition, take 1-2 days off each week. Simple and easy to adhere to.

I think that’s what I’ll do.
2upper,2lower, 1-2 “fun” days, and rest
why 1 rest day rather than 2?

I’d not start there. To me, the reader, you’re already run down. We’ve revisited this topic a lot this year. And unruly cravings, hunger that’s out of control. That makes me suspect you’re in debt from a recovery standpoint.
If I were in your situation I’d dial it back so you can recoup. Then after becoming fully recovered you can find your ideal balance.
4 training days.
Maybe 1 conditioning day.
That’s where I’d start if it was me. If I still don’t end up feeling better after a month, three whole body workouts per week. 1 conditioning day.

Sometimes I actually feel good
Sometimes
Should be frequent/often if not something is wrong and I’ve seen enough of your log to know, you know what it is.
For as hard as you train, this is not nearly enough. Plus, eat some fats to get enough calories/more energy throughout the day.
Like I said before, if you bumped up in weight (healthily) to 110 or so, with adequate rest/recovery, you will probably feel much better. As hard as you train, at least 2 days a week where you focus on recovery (i.e. don’t exercise, just normal daily activity) is a must.

This is dangerous, you have to be explicit about what this entails. Its like when my sister asked how long after breaking her collar bone she could return to biking. “normal” biking for her is downhill Kenny Rogers danger zone. Normal daily activity for Anna isn’t walking the dog around the block.

well… I kindof want to stick around 100, or cutting down to 95 would be too painful if I were to compete in powerlifting. Point taken though
I’m averaging 27-30k steps a day
This is three times as much as I’d say is okay

Just from knowing you through here and seeing how your thought process works: Whenever you ask yourself if you should take the day off or not in fear of being lazy -you should take that day off.
