at a weight of 212.5 this morn I need to cut 2.5 pounds of weight before Saturday Morn in order to qualify for my reload on Saturday.
If it doesnt happen then its reload every 10 days instead of 7 from now on.
I would say I could tighten up my efforts to make this weight by Saturday…but honest to god im living so perfectly in compliance I dont think I can do anything more!
So we will see if the plan is successful in achieving, because im damn sure going to be 100% compliant with the plan!
finished workout today,
starting to notice my body not liking the restricted calories.
several days out of the last few ive felt drained!
just reporting this for reference, if it goes on too long I can think about a little extra morning and post workout carb
212.25 weight
temp 35.7
weight 211.75
temp 35.6
weight 212.25.
temp 35.1
not the greatest readings! my body temp has dropped, and my weight loss is slowing…metabolism maybe slowing!
no panic yet, see what sat morning brings.
weight 210.25 !!
body temp 35.6
OMG I broke down and had an apple and a pear after my workout today.
looks like my 100% compliance went out the window.
If thats my biggest concern then i think im doing just fine.
weight 208.25 (!!)
temp 35.6
took measurements today:
chest 43.2
right thigh 25
left arm 15
flexed chest 46
flexed arm 16
Waist size at narrowest point: 33 inches
Waist size at your naval: 36 inches
Hip size at widest point: 39.5 inches
Neck at narrowest point: 15 inches
18.1 % bf
37.7 fat
170.5 lbm
little concern over my lbm dropping…but none of my arm, chest and leg measurements have dropped so I guess its just inaccuracies in my measurement calculation.
anyway superb fat loss so far! question is to carb reload or not! I think not.
if my lbm doesnt recover, or moves down more I may instigate morning and pwo carbs (oats)
body aft via skin fold calipers: 15.3%
via hand held bio imped: 21.7%
The bio impedance seems to be a little off compared to the other two, as looking at myself now I am definately not 20% bf +.
Skin fold calipers down from 17.3 → 15.3 % which gives me 2% bf loss over 3 weeks which isnt bad.
logically (not taking into account a slow down as I go lower) I should be able to get to about 9% in about 9 weeks.
I have 8 weeks left until my birthday which is D day for this cut.
so , do i:

Well my target was 310 by sat morning, which i achieved (got 208).
so reloaded yesterday.
2 medium cheese and tomato pizzas
12 mini choc doughnuts
2 dozen jelly beans
6 choc fingers
12 pringles
thats all in addition to my normal eating for the day for 70% of the meals.
its the smallest amount, but yet the least wholesome of my reload days so far. should be interesting to see how i handle it!
weight 212
temp 35.7
cheated for the 1st time yesterday.
4 choc brownies.
i was bored, had nothing else to do and had just worked out, which was all the justification i needed.
lol
oh well 100% compliance out the window. Lasted 28 days though!

need to loose a pound between now and sat morning to make progress!
clean carb meal only this week i think!
So Saturday weight in will mark 1 month since I started.
Im presuming my weight will be 208 or lower which will mean 6 pounds of weight loss in the month.
considering this doesnt include the ‘newb fat loss fortnight’ I did previously (lost 7 pounds in 10 days)
id say that pretty good. hit 1.5 pounds a week right on the head.
The plan now is:
On average my cheat day has made me put 2-3 of some kind of weight on each week start, so im thinking ill be seeing more dramatic results with it reduced.
weight 209.25
temp 35.6
im having 1 hamburger bun and some ketchup as my carb reload this week. teach me a lesson for last weeks binge!
weight 206.5 woot!!
my 1 step back two steps forward method seems to be working lol.
Keep going, man.
And don’t you dare to shave your bear pelt!
No matter what all those chicks are going to say.
I’m very adamant on this myself (for now, at least) -.-
