No time is no excuse for doing absolutely nothing and having a crappy diet again so going to try to squeeze in some kettlebell stuff and get back down to 1500 cal a day.

Trying not to die from a stomach virus i have had for the past week. Seems like it eased up today a little so hopefully tomorrow Iāll be able to start something.

Just trying to navigate things right now. Kids are taking up all my day lately. I even had to start making a schedule so I can get other things done that I have been neglecting.
Thanks for checking in man.

day 3
front squat 3x 225
push press 3x165
dl 6x 295
row 135 x 3x 10
5 min kb swings 55 lb
Not much but I am trying to see what I can fit in. If time permits will do a amrap with a lower weight at end. Only 5 min today of kb swings bc I am still nervous about the heart skipping thing the other day. Plan is to do this as many times as I can a week up to 3 and then a 4th for beach muscles if I can fit it in.

Mother wound up in the icu and they said she might not make it so I went down to see her. Busy time. Got a stationary bike and plan to do that at least 3 days a week for the ticker plus whatever lifting I can.

208 lb today. Found out a little hack that works for me. A kind of pseudo intermittent fasting where I have coffee with creamer and a bit of fruit in the morning but most of my calories between 2 to 9. I found the biggest issue with dieting so far has been I eat at 7 and am hungry all day and then have to eat another 400 to 500 calorie meal with meds at night (or else I throw up and they donāt absorb properly). Not eating till 2 kind of sucks but is easier than trying to spread 1500 calories over 14 hours. Been doing this for just a few days but it is pretty easy to get 1000k deficit and up.

Honestly, I think this is great, and do something similar myself. I donāt really know if intermittent fasting is magic like some claim, but if I am only eating from noon until bedtime (around 9), then itās a much smaller timeframe for me to be gorging calories. Bring a lunch to work, thatās all I eat until I get home. So when I get home, Iāll be a bit hungry, but Iāve eaten so little throughout the day that I can have two good sized meals, feel pretty fully, and still be pretty low overall on calories for the day.

Yeah that is why I never tried it because I didnāt believe the hype then I kind of accidentally did it a few days and noticed that I could not break my fast for quite a while and be fine. Also stole the bike idea from you lol.
