Well yeah… I’m kinda jumping into Canoeing now? I’ve been waking up around 5:30AM everyday just to get to the paddle place at 7:00AM. Sleeping around 10-11PM everyday now. Oh and uh… Apparently, I might be a natural at canoeing? So at least I’ve got that going for me. I figured since I’m supposed to be cutting right now, this wouldn’t be too distracting from my goal. I’ll be training in the gym(on my own, not with the canoe team) only twice a week starting April. Gonna cut down on gym days and focus more on the other stuff like paddling and running. Will be focusing more on pull ups and core work too. Added in the push up program cause I figured it wouldn’t be too much of a distraction since I’m intentionally going easy on it?
Pictures of your food should be mandatory. I am googling all these and they look awesome!!!
Also you just had a PR weight loss so until that stalls you minds well enjoy yourself. You are young and very active. I will just read through here being jelly dreaming of cheat days
I can’t wait until I can walk my skinny ass into Trader Joes and buy Cookie Butter. I’ll eat the whole fucking thing in one sitting… until then, I drag my fat ass in and buy peanut butter.
Yep, pretty much. I’d love to have steak and steamed broccoli and stuff(I’m assuming that’s what most of y’all eat) on a daily if that makes you feel any better.

took 36 minutes 58 seconds, I was pretty much dead after the 2nd 100m sprint. I suck at running, gotta get better at it. Lifting is taking a back seat for now.
I’m not really sure if I’m happy with the way I look right now to be honest. I’ve been getting comments from friends that I just look small and skinny now as if I’ve lost muscle mass. That being said, I do feel a heck of a lot better. I’m not sure if I feel better as a result of the cut or as a result of the early mornings, sleeping earlier and increased low intensity cardio(paddling).
Any thoughts guys?
Photos were taken in the morning (so I guess I’m rather depleted?) at a bodyweight of 72.7kgs on the 4/4/2017.
wasn’t exactly flexing for the photos, I was however trying to blow all the air outta my mid section. Photos were taken at a bodyweight of 75kgs at 11:10PM on the 4/4/2017.

No training at all today, nothing. This must be the first time I’ve done no physical activity of any sort the whole day in weeks. Yup. Previous time I took a full day off was on the 12/3/2017.
I’m thinking it’s probably just the pull ups/barbell rows along with the slightly smaller waist giving the illusion of a bigger back haha. My waist is at 29 inches now haha, I think it’ll be done to 28 by the time the challenge ends.
