Logging fell behind, was going to do a week in review but last few days threw that off and frankly I don’t want to lol.
Weight Avg: 216.3lb
Weight Lost: 220-216.3 = 3.7lb (probably some weight loss hangover from last week - I know I didn’t lose 0.2lb the week before last lol).

Need to go heavier on Leg Press
- Wife and daughter heading out to see family in Seattle for the next 2 weeks. Driving to airport and taking a day off threw my schedule off a bit - getting reset.
- Quiet house is both peaceful and uncomfortable.

Weight: 217.1lb
Recovery: 56% (4h 59m sleep)
- Went into this one feeling “meh”, came out the other side feeling accomplished.
- Having some motivation issues, need to address this. Also need to unplug from PWI… place is a time/energy suck.
- Diet is a bit off track today. Work provided free burritos for lunch and they were “healthy” burritos, but macros are uncounted. Going to assume today is maintenance once dinner is eaten.

I have always used the excuse that im allergic twOro something in the thing and just said it out loud that “if you dont want me to shit all over the place, better let me eat my food”. No one has ever asked me twice after. Fucking up a goal because someone brings something to the work is not necessary if you use the right excuses:D

Well, people bring in donuts, bagels or chic fil a on the daily, often multiple of those in a single day. I usually pass (like 99% of the time) but a burrito with steak, guac and rice really isn’t going to hurt me all that much… better than a donut for sure lol.
I probably should have passed on it, but it’s pretty low impact, all things considered.
Passing up on the office sweets and donuts etc is easy, not sure I could ever pass on a burrito a that is nectar from the gods!!!
Back in little O’ England, people know not to offer me cake or anything but when they bring round birthday samosas I have to have at least one.

Alright so training and diet really went down the shitter the last couple days… i always find myself in a funk when the girls are out of town. No diagnosis needed, I’m back on track.

Recovery: 68% (5h 53m slept)
- need to work on my front squat, which was actually 14x185, 8x185 because the bar was slipping. Note to self: chalk on the shoulders next time
- busy day at the gym today… looks like all the normies are trying to burn off that turkey weight before eating the turkey. Speaking of which… i wonder if i can just buy like 20lbs of dark turkey meat…
Anyways, class tonight, snake’s first feeding tomorrow. Kind of want to name her Lagaertha because i can’t find any mythological female snake names. Would have opted for Jörmungandr if it was a boy though. Totally badass name for a snake.

Had a super stressful day at work and knew i was going to stress eat, so i brought home a rotisserie chicken and ate the whole thing (except a couple of bones… not as many as you’d expect though). Answered the mail, stayed on diet and stress-ate!
Fed the snake a pinky rat today… she waited 2 whole seconds before attacking the poor thing. She must have seen how i eat whole chickens and assumed that was the right way to go. She was right to do so.

Recovery: 63% (4h 15m sleep, felt this)
- Bench went down in reps, going to blame the sleep/deficit and give myself a pass.
- Nice boring day off tomorrow. Let’s see how long it takes before I start having conversations with the voices in my head.
I think this will be the week i break the 215lb avg barrier. Gonna earn myself an epic cheat meal.

What’s your chest meal going to be? I’m already excited for you!

Honestly not sure yet. Will be looking for inspiration and hopefully get a plan together for Saturday I think.
All of my ‘special’ meals don’t actually count as a ‘cheat meal’ because they’re like Lobster, Crab, Prime Rib Roast (subjective, can be really fatty)… Who would’ve thought it would be hard to pick a cheat meal?
At any rate, I’m nearing the halfway point to my goal and am very near 6-pack status and feeling very happy with myself for the progress I’ve made in a mere 2 months:

I have a hard time picking cheat meals too! I usually just end up having a cheese bun with my regular food and calling it a day LOL.

Meant to eat more, worked longer than planned and felt pretty burnt out. Got home and didn’t feel hungry enough to eat my meal prep.
Idk if squatting tomorrow is a smart call, may take another rest day to recover from the ~2400cal deficit im in today. Works in my favor too as i was planning to have my cheat meal tomorrow. We’ll see.
Edit:
I talked myself into splitting a whole container of deli turkey between 2 sandwiches and eating them. +650 calories.

Alright well you guys asked for it.
Included in today’s selection of cheat foods:
- 3lbs snow crab legs
- 1lb each clams and mussles (cooked in beer whine and butter)
- 1 bag mushroom ravioli, cooked in seafood juices and topped with meyer lemon and premium parmesean cheese
Lets see how much of this manages to escape my belly.
Edit:
There were no survivors; the shells were lucky to be spared. Was going to get king crab legs but the $40/lb price tag was a hard pass. Got away with only spending like $50 total for this cheat meal… if only i could be a normal person who eats like a $10 pizza for a cheat meal 
Woke up weighing 217.5lb this morning lol

I am burnt the hell out. Only day I’ve had off in the last 3 weeks was Thanksgiving day. Slept terribly last night, decided to pass on training.
