Fake it till you make it.

Been in the Verizon situation before. It’s frustrating but I got free accessories out of it. Go to a corporate store not a licensed retailer if you can. Easier for them to change stuff on the accounts. My only bad experience with Verizon was with an authorized dealer.

It’s 2pm and I’m currently in a 1k surplus

oops… I wish I could get away with eating 2.5k - 3k every day

Adding some muscle to your frame could help there. It’s a metabolically active tissue.

Week 4: Day 3

press: 7x2-40kg EMOM
Incline Bench: 2x8,2x6, 1x5-35kg EMOM
curls: 5x8-40lb kb EMOM
Tricep pushdowns: 5x20-22.5lbs, superset w/50 jumping jacks
BTN press: 3x10-20kg
Conditioning: 20min incline walk-pushed it

  • am I ignoring bench? yes. do I care? nope… Press felt pretty strong, the incline bench was a lot harder than expected, triceps felt easier so ig they must be getting stronger.

Update:

  1. my econ advisor is amazing. We had a very nice and rather lengthy meeting about the model. He’s going to let me use a simpler one if I can’t get the current one to work . Topic advisor probably won’t be so happy. I just need to get this done. It’s actually quite uncanny how much the dynamics with my two advisors mimics the dynamics between my parents and I lol. Topic advisor is great, but she is sometimes quite pushy
  2. I met an econ friend for lunch yesterday to discuss an idea for a model. It was very fun. We actually got somewhere with it. I wish I had co-opted him earlier.

My cat always loved to sit on TOP of my calculus book so I wouldn’t do problems :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Week 4: day 4

Deadlift: 2x9-105kg, 1x10,11-100kg, superset with 20bodyweight lunges
Good mornings: 1x6, 2x7, 1x8,9-60kg
Lying leg raises: 4x20
Rows: 1x8, 5x5-EMOM
Leg extensions: 5x5-95lbs, 4x5-90lbs

  • this was mentally the hardest workout I’ve done in a long time…… I skipped the last set of deadlifts. I was also really sweaty for some reason, the actual lifting wasn’t too bad. Legs and lower back ded

Nutrition wise, I went completely off the rails on Tuesday and Wednesday. I ate in a deficit on Thursday and weighed in 1.5lbs high yesterday. Yesterday was pretty adherent then went a bit off the rails this morning (300kcal of dairy free ice cream left over in the fridge from a “final destress party” my floor RA organized + a chobani + 2.5oz grilled chicken). It’s not the end of the world if I just cut back the rest of the day, but I’ll still end up in a small surplus.
I Hawaii will be…. Interesting…… there’s going to be good food……

I’m going to allow myself to balloon up to 108 over break then drop down over spring semester

Not 100% sure what “ballon up to 108” means, exactly, but if it means you’ll let your mind and your body relax, if it means you’ll savor the time with your family, and if it means you’ll enjoy the food—like really ENJOY it—then I’m all for it, @anna_5588!

Please eat all of the bbq and fish tacos for me. Hawaiian food is amazing. Calories don’t count on vacation, right?

I wish…
I’ve definitely looked up menus and have found good options that won’t completely blow up my nutrition

it sucks bc calories are never out of mind

9521

Just a suggestion, but have you thought about not counting calories while on vacation? Unless you already don’t.

I’m always estimating and even if I don’t explicitely count, I’m always thinking about it.

I imagine it is difficult for you to not think about numbers! I was wondering if it would be a mental help not to use a calculator for the duration of your vacation. If the number is still in your head though, I could see how that may make it worse.

Are you ok with this?

it’s a net positive

better to have a constant sense of accountability than not. Just gets annoying sometimes, like maintaining my bedtime
