wife noticed a faint line on COVID test.
Makes sense as I have been ill all week, light headed and a bad gut.
I had to wear a mask in work.

What barriers are you running into this is preventing this from being a reality?

None that cannot be overcome. I ate fruit today instead. I might start taking protein shakes in a cheap battery charged food processor.
I have two days off now.
I get up early to cook so miss sleep. Then I am too tired to prepare food by the end of the day. Bit of a vicious circle.
My wife gets in about 8.00 pm . I should be in bed by thenâŠI get about 5-6 hours sleep more than a lot of people but not nearly enough.
To be fair if I batched prepared the steak ,I could sleep more.
I do cheat a little here and there but mostly Iâm at maintenance or slight under.
Youâve been given that advice multiple times before as well. Whatâs currently limiting that from happening?
Why is this happening?

I will have to think about that. But I guess it comes down to do or do not do with regularity .
I need to form a habit.
Well the frozen cherries were meant to be a hack fir my sweet tooth. But I kept eating too many of them. They are fairly low calorie though.
Eh, maybe. I find that humans tend to do what they want to do. From my observations of your log, you like the idea of losing weight, but what you want to do is eat chocolate and bread.
One day, if you reverse that equation, youâll have no issues complying. Until then, youâre trying to fight against your nature. Your nature will win.
When kept to a reasonable serving, but as youâre observing: they can be binged on. Rather than satisfying a sweet tooth, perhaps itâs worth looking into if youâre actually hungry, or just bored and seeking food for entertainment. If weâre actually hungry, weâll eat egg whites and chicken breasts. If that âdoesnât sound goodâ, weâre not hungry.

This was 200cals you could have banked. 0 reason to even have this in the house when dieting.
You continually sabotage yourself. I give you a lot of respect for posting the bad as well as the good.
When i first asked you to clean things up and keep protien high I also asked you to eat around 2200-2500cals. You tried and said it was too much food. Thatâs because you were eating higher protien and were satiated. Now your back to high carbs again and over eating/cheating. Do you see a correlation here?
Set yourself up for victory.
-Prep most meals 1 time for the whole week.
-Have some meals frozen that you can defrost in a pinch.
-Have food at Mums or pick up lunch meats and have a sandwich.
-Donât reinvent the wheel. Eat the same food for a whole week. Then next week eat different things if you get bored.
Remember, this is about consistancy. The last couple weeks youâve been all over the place with foods and now weight is rising again.
Get back to the first few weeks. Cut out the vending. Limit the bread to 2 slices per day with a meal. Watch the amount of fruit juice and fruit you are eating.
Set a goal. What is it?
This thread has gone on since 2017 and itâs been groundhog day. Start to diet, fall off the wagon, disappear for a bit and come back to diet again. Whatâs gonna be different about 2024?
All of us want you to succeed. We are here for you. What do you need for motivation?
FYI- There are a ton of meal prep services in England. Purchase some premade meals and keep them frozen. I always have 5-8 meals in my freezer as backup.

Nice work
Congrats on the PR dude. Trap bar is a fun lift.
Whyâd you buy it in the first place?
Yes itâs fun. itâs easier to lift a lot of weight on it.
itâs a shame I strained my right lat though. Still feeling a bit. I am quite prone to that happening too with squats and deadlifts.
There is a shop next to the gym. I was fooled by high protein content. Granted I should have checked the label.
Well, even before that, why did you need a protein milkshake? Did you not have enough food with you?
I donât take food to the gym . I am only there about 60-90 mins maybe less sometimes.
perhaps I will start taking some with me. Will be more feasible in the winter. Still a bit warm now.
Iâm more concerned about this than a post WO shake with sugar.
Only 72cals are protien out of 532.

But that appears that itâs clearly long enough for you to need a milkshake. So why not bring your own so youâre not paying high prices for junky products like you saw here?
Or, if you DONâT need the food: then you donât need the food.
17 stone 3 now 109.5kg.
It would nice to get into the 16 stone region. Need to lose another kg and a half short term.
I will up the cardio a bit to target visceral fat
