Then don’t. Unless it helps keep you accountable.

My gut instinct tells me that you’re eating too much, but you might have that under control now.

Regardless, you haven’t been dieting without any hang ups for any significant amount of time, so progress in the lean department is gonna be slim.

Drop your Calories if you’re not making any progress. The template outlined earlier was an estimation.

i think the last 3 weeks ive been eating too much shit. I had 2 weeks at home where i pretty much lost the diet completly, and then this last week of being back at uni i have been up to 5am each night doing coursework and just snacking on shite and getting no sleep… then trying to justify the carby/sugary meal becasue “i need energy”

monday it shall change. all my assigments etc are due in for monday, my gym is closed untill tuesday, so ill get them all out of the way. and then i have 3 weeks untill my first exam.

i need routine and that starts on monday.

Fuck it im uploading pics tomorrow.

Scott. I get really frustrated with you sometimes. I don’t think you realise how far off the mark you are as far as attitude towards dieting/training. Exams/coursework/family/funerals… we ALL have to deal with things outside of the gym. You are far too easy on yourself IMO. Why do I know this? Because I used to be exactly the same as you. I was an expert at justifying bad diet/inconsistent training. You want extreme results but I’m not convinced you are willing to show the character required for it. I’d love you to prove me wrong but at the minute all I see is you setting yourself up for a fall. Forget about the supplements and all the other shite and get your head right.

Sorry for being blunt here but I’m hoping I’ll get the right sort of reaction from you. Now start setting some achievable dates/deadlines and go for it. You know I’ll be the first to pat you on the back when you finally get there.

Hope this helps

Man up and do what it takes.

I agree with everything you said.

I get frustrated with myself a lot aswell.

Although i do think routine helps alot, and i need to plan to succeed. if i have my day/week planned out in regards to food/training then i will hit it 90% of the time. i did noy have a plan for the past 3 weeks and as a result fucked up. but thats not me justifying my fuck ups, its me assessing why and looking to improve.

On Monday i start revision for exams about 3 weeks away. that will mean revising from about 10am - 3pm everyday, then training, then working that night and sleeping. For me, routine breeds success and makes dieting a lot easier as im not lying about my flat with nothing to do but feel hhungry and cheat.

Also on Monday i start a nootropic trial for friends website. www.enhanced-minds.com/. My log and diet will be under scrutiny from there aswell. which is increased pressure of a good kind.

from now on:
2600 cals on workout day
2200 cals on non workout days
more cardio
less rest time
more reps - less strength work
better log

Ill stop typing now as it seems im trying to justify my failings, which im not.

But thanks for the kick in the arse, ive got too many people patting me on the back for losing the weight i have already.
20 kgs and i might pat myself aswell.

Scott
