One more day to go and my mini cut will be over. These 21 days flew by, and I’m satisfied with the results. I will do a finally weigh in, but I lost around 4.5 kg / 10 lbs during this period. Not too shabby for 3 weeks. I feel like training has be at the right level of intensity, and despite having been REALLY hungry at times, I never felt like I was going to jump in a tub filled with carbs and dive in. Or other weird stuff that goes through my mind when dieting for a long time.
On Wednesday it’ll be my best friend’s birthday and, on top of eating out, I’ll indulge in some of the many foods I’ve been missing lately. Mostly junk, I’m talking about. Then I’ll go back to dieting until Sunday. I’ll do this because I have another birthday party on Saturday and if I diet the remaining days of this week, I can virtually pig out as much as I want on those two days and have no consequence.
As of next Monday, my new mass gain period will begin. I want to implement a slightly different approach than I’ve been using and be more precise with my weight gain. I did that for a while last year but then I got bored and stopped tracking. This time I want to do it until summer at least, and I want to get there having gained around 3 kg / 6.5 lb over three months, this time with minimal fat gain.
Last week I had a moment where, for maybe the first time ever since I started training, I looked at my body in the mirror and went, “damn, I look good.” It was so satisfying. It’s like these almost four years of effort are finally coming together in terms of looking like I lift on a normal, everyday situation.
