Fasting today… I have actually been looking forward to it as a break from eating. I had an interview, so I divided it between 2 days. The hunger and energy levels haven’t been much of an issue.

Glutes are still sore from HIIT 4 days ago, which tells me it must be the rolling?

Neck 14.875
chest 41.875
arms 13.5/14
Thighs 24.5/25.5

waist hasn’t moved much, but everything else has dropped, so not too happy w/ the results. I weighed in at 209.

Weights felt heavy today. Think it’s lack of sleep… maybe the fasting

Weighed in at 208 this morning, so weightloss has resumed. I also went from ‘trace’ to ‘small’ amount of ketones detected, so the tranisition ton keto is coming along… which may also explain the slight headaches I’ve been having.

I’m taking every other day off now to kind of give the body a rest, and I’m eating less subsequently, just because I eat less on off days. I am only doing 1 HIIT session this week (tomorrow), and no HIIT next week. On my off days, I have been doing a light bike ride and walking… either to the store and coming back with a bag of groceries or on an inclined treadmill.

Part of the reason for the reduced HIIT is to give the body/metabolism a break (jade teta), but also to help the hammie heal. It’s been progressing in terms of sprints and strength, but it’s tight and the pyraformis has been feeling off. At first, I thought it was glute DOMS, because I’ve been doing short sprints and focus on staying low, which requires more glute action. Then, I thought it might be glute/pyra rolling. I’ve eliminated the rolling, except for thighs, ITs, and hams to try and trouble shoot this, but I’m not convinced that’s it at this point.

rest

looked up reverse dieting… showed layne norton’s YT vid. Turns out he goes to my gym.

been horrible about logging lately. Luckily, my strength hasn’t really been moving.

I did my push 2 and took a rest. I have only been doing 1 leg lift to help my glut heal. Lately, I’ve been resting after each workout because I’m eating less and exercising less, a la jade teta. And you know, it’s actually working. I weighed in at 205.5 today and haven’t done cardio in 2 weeks. I did, however, re-implement supplements, so I’m on Vit D, Multi V (never went off either of these), fish oil, and bcaa’s.

I’ve also been trying tribulus the last few days. I think it takes a while to build up, so I don’t think anything would have actually happened by now. I didn’t take it for better gains or any of the low T reasons… I just felt I needed a boost of aggression and a mood jump start. So far, I can’t say I’ve seen any results.
