Outline for the week aheadā¦
This week is going to be a little messed up. My gym is not open today, sunday or monday because of a bank holiday. and then i am going to newcastle on friday for a mates bday. then my flat mates birthday is on saturday. i wont be drinking either night, but most of my food intake will be bought from take aways etc so ill have to make the best of a bad situation.
So im going to do some sort of body weight circuit in my flat tomorrow. And then sprints on monday.
Tuesday i will squat. Something similiar to i did yesterday for deadlifts. a 4x6 at 130 and then a triple at 140, and an attempt at a triple at 150. Then maybe a triple at 155/160. Some high rep front squats after, prob 3x8 at 80 ish. if i got gas left then i will also lunge. 20-30mins cardio afterwards.
Wednesday i will do bench, Row, military press, shoulder prehab, Tricep/bicep work. 20-30 mins cardio after. And 5 intervals on the rower
Thursday i will do dan johns complex A again with an added 2.5kg weight. 20-30 mins cardio after
Friday im in newcastle.
Saturday flat mates 21st
Sunday i will be back in the gym for Deadlifts and cardio.
Will be keeping the diet the same as last week, trying to restrain the amount of mayo i use as it is calorie dense. Apart from that ill be shooting for ~ 1900 cals, under 15g carbs, 200g protein and about 110 grams fat.
Critique me.

Scott. Try to prepare your food for the few days away. Leaving it to take aways is asking for trouble. Youāre obviously aware how things might pan out but I think these type of tests really show you (and us) what youāre really prepared to do to stay on track.
Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Your absolutely rightā¦
Im leaving at 4.30pm friday and im back 5pm saturdayā¦ So i basically need 4-6 meals. That could basically be a bag of chicken which would be a few meals and a shake or two pre-preparedā¦ Really not that hard at all.
On Saturday I will be back in Glasgow at my flat so thats not a problemā¦
Should i keep my calories the same on these days or less?
Scott
Ive had some more thought about itā¦
Im gonna get a tubberware box, make up a whey/casein/BCAA blend and use this as a 3-4 meals. especially before bed and maybe for breakfast if im on the run.
I have bought 7 pills boxs and i make them up in advance, just for instances like this. So that should be fish oil etc sorted. If i can do this i think it would be mental achievement more than anything.

But i dont want to get ahead of myself. The pics dont look like that the measurements would have you beleive to me. So i think it might have something to do with taking the measurements first thing in the morning.

Your measurements will definitely be the smallest in the mornings. Morning or not, -2 inches from the waist is a fuck ton, and your pic does show a marked improvement. Keep it up dude

Too much fat imo. Thats the corned beef. I have fuck all food left in my flat. I need to go on a ābigā shop tomorrow. tuna, chicken, eggs and veg being the main bulk.
I bought a cool new camera today. Ive always wanted one and with the money ive saved from not drinking for 5 months, i bought one today. Nikon D60 with VR 18-35mm lens. Having alot of fun with it so far. just messing with it. Scott Taggart | Flickr is where all my best photos etc will go.
I caught a glimpse of myself from the side in the mirror today and i was blown away. I can really tell from the side. I really wish i had taken side pics from the beginning.
I have also rethought out this week completly. I am going on two big nights out this weekend, one of them i will be seeing a lot of people from home who I have not seen since easter and i want to get a reaction from them for my weightloss. I also am amped about how last week went and i only really had 2 different sessions in the gym. So this week im going all out for the fat loss. Complexs, 30 sec rest intervals, HIIT, and cardio each day pretty much. Same diet plan. I want the same improvements as last week. same decreases, thats what im shooting for and im going to fight hard to get it.
I will post progress pics and measurements on friday morning. So i have a day less than normal.
No gym tomorrow, so sprints again.
Scott
did you ever have brain fog? if so, how long did it take to go away? ive been fighting it almost every day and im wondering if i should just fight it out, stick with high protein/lo carb, or ingest some carbs to keep it temporarily at bay.

I had ābrain fogā for a few days. It wears off IMO. I actually prefer low carbs now. More consistent energyā¦ less spikes.
Thanks for the input Intersweat. Iāve been trying to keep calories low (mainly by reducing carbs) and have noticed a lack of energy/mental acuity. Iām hoping it will go awayā¦
but i really didnt want to hijack scottās thread, so check out my log if youre interested.

The brain fog i did have for ages and i think thats my own fault. I battled it with caffeine and shouldnt have done soā¦ I think i had the whole brainfog thing because i was lingering on the threshold for ketosis for ages and have only just properly dipped into it. Now im in i feel alot better and i havnt had a energy drink in about 10 days.
i made the mistake of ingesting come carbsā¦ hence the whole āneed to eat carbs before a deadlift sessionā thing. but it was becasue i was eating too many in the first place. Stick to it, or drop it lower to reduce brain fog quicker.
Scott
ok; thanks for the inputā¦will lower the carbs accordingly.
