I CAN HEAR THE MICE UP IN THE ATTIC!
Recently there’s been mice in the attic, So far they:
Ate 2 boxes of candy we were supposed to have in our stockings
ALL of our Indian corn decorations! (They are stripped to the core now)
Hershey kisses (Mom and the Neighbor found wrappers strewn across the floors of their attics)
Who knows what else, both in our house and the neighbor’s house.
I can hear them scurrying now! Theyve stopped since I scared them by banging the ceiling with my exercise ball, but they’ll be back… Just they wait until there’s mouse traps up there hehehe…
They won’t come down stairs because we have 4 cats. They are in the attic because the cats aren’t allowed up there. Mom won’t let them up because they don’t want the cats to get sick from the mice. Probably good.
I feel good today. Back isn’t hurting as much anymore, just a bit tight. Il do some more stretches. Knees seem fine too. Should be able to Deadlift today!
Breakfast in a bit.
resolution6 is… uh… reset. Day 0.
I looked in the mirror, I am looking pretty jacked! Im a little softer than I used to but I have a good amount more muscle! My pecs are looking pretty nice. Mass is working well.
Breakfast:
3 eggs
1 bagel
1tbsp butter
1.25 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein oatmeal
4 cherries

Did my workout. No deadlifts again… argh. Did everything as planned except for the last set of curls, which was 65lbs x 5 + like 5-10 solid seconds of trying my best to get it up.
Im going to work on making a better bridge to get across the creek.

Couldn’t finish eating all of this food yesterday. Measly protein.

Jan 4 2025: W6D7 Measurements
Took them yesterday. Might have been a bit bloated.
171.5 lbs, 34 inch waist, 41.375 inch chest, 14.125 inch bicep, 24 inch thighs, 37.5 inch glutes
Hopefully my parents will let me go to church today, its been awhile (I haven’t asked in awhile though, too)
I may be leaving here soon. Maybe, maybe not. Im not sure.
I feel it may be more spiritually beneficial to not use this site, atleast for awhile. If I decide to leave, it will likely after I finish Mass (Valentines day). Il post my last physique pictures that day probably.
I might stop tracking measurements, since I don’t find it that “helpful” to me. I know this program works, I don’t need it as a gauge. And when mass if over, Lent I starting soon, so I won’t be worrying about getting a bunch of calories, plus it calls us to fast (in the Orthodox sense). So I suppose a worldly view of this is that it will be a cut, although its NOT a cut. It’s not for losing fat, although I likely will, along with some muscle likely. I still have shrimp and other shellfish I can eat though! and there’s plenty of high protein plant sources. So I can try to eat more of those, being mindful not to eat a ton. Il probably aim to get about 150-170g protein a day. So if I eat some shellfish with every meal, in a moderate portion with the other food, I will likely be able to reach that goal. I wont track calories during (at least most of) that period, since I’m not focusing on physical growth, since that will come and go, but it is for spiritual growth.
I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with Father [name] today.
I love going to church. I forgot how good it was. I really feel at home, I got to talk with people, and made a new friend, which is great. People are so kind there… this is Christianity. I haven’t found kindness such as that in almost any other place (well, I suppose I don’t actually go a lot of places, but still).
I need to eat today. I have eaten very light today on and off. about 300 and some or less calories for every meal I had. Bringing me to… 810 Kcal today… not much.
Blessed Sunday before Theophany (Epiphany)!
Need 863 Kcal and 77g protein. Will have Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, and then something too.
Yesterday’s total: 2800 something, and 193g protein.

Blessed Eve of Theophany everyone! Christ be with you.
Prayer to Christ our God is the sweetest food there is, and does not cause hunger, like the food of this world does.

Didn’t update yesterday, sorry everyone. I didn’t really take eating seriously.
Since I’m aiming to develop spiritually, I’m thinking of ending mass. I did a good 6 weeks stretch, gaining 7 pounds, and It definitely worked well. However, I think Im done with it.
Yesterday my workout was tougher than usual. I assume due to the low amount of food yesterday. Couldn’t squat still, I think next week, or on Saturday, I will be able to. But not sure.
Jan 7 2026 W7D3
Tired this morning. Sleep schedule wasn’t great last days of break.
Today is a fasting day, but fish, oil, and wine are allowed too. So I will be able to have those. I asked my priest if I should continue following the fasting schedule, for reasons.
Breakfast in 17 minutes.
My priest says that It might be better for me not to follow the church fasting discipline, at least not yet, since it might cause separation in my family, when Jesus Christ and His Word is about love. Plus some other things. So… Im back to eating! Though I will show a bit of moderation on some days, I still will get my calories and protein in. Im back at it!
Jan 8 2025 W7D4 OHP+Deadlift+S2
Getting back into the swing of things today. Gonna eat all my calories and protein, and hopefully get back to lifting everything, not just upper.
Today’s workout:
OHP: 75lbs x 8 x 5 sets
Deadlift: 215lbs x 8 x 5 sets
Dips: +10lbs x 8 x 4 sets
BB curl: 60lbs x 12 x 4 sets
Lunges: 40lb DBS x 12 x 4 sets
This bulk is working really well for my physique. And I can tell I’m getting stronger, too. Im glad I’m doing this. Im going for the full 12 weeks no stopping midway thats not good to do.
Breakfast in 7 minutes
Today was a good day. Currently eating the last meal of the day to get my protein in.
My workout went well. I think next week I will be back to training legs good! I was able to do 1 set of 215 x 8 on deadlift today, but the second set my back was hurting.
I couldn’t do lunges either, my ankle wasn’t very happy. Gonna try to take it easy the next few days to let my body properly recover.
Il track stuff here soon maybe. Or tomorrow, whenever I really have the chance.
I have to limit myself. Orange slice candies are way too tasty, I like them too much.

I got my protein under my caloric requirement. So I will have some pistachios.
I’ve been thinking about doing more strongman-type activities in the future. Just for fun of course. Would be interesting to do I think.
Ive been getting lazy with my logging. I need to get back on it.
January 10th 2025 W7D6 Bench/Squat/S1 day
I need to get my homework done today.
I don’t know if I don’t like the new way this website is looking, or if Im just not used to it.
I weighed myself… 168lbs… So maybe it was a bad idea to not eat much on Monday… I had 3 very small meals, what I would consider each to be a not great snack. Il be back up. Not doing that again, for awhile.
My right knee hurts when I straighten out my leg… not good… I think I need to eat more nutritious foods. That might be a big possibility (I’m sure the Monday Malnutrition wasn’t helpful for healing my body either)

2.5 yolks (some yolk spilled when I tried to flip the eggs on the pan today)
3/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein granola
1 tsp honey

1 tbsp chia seeds

A bit backwards walking on treadmill, for my knee.
Knee still hurts, so will probably not do much tomorrow.
Got my homework done. Tomorrow’s agenda; Nothing, except for church if I am able to go.
I’ve been out of lower body work for nearly a month now. Next week I should be able to pick back up. I will use the numbers I was supposed to do last 3week cycle, and the timing lines up so I will not have repeated a week.
Time for bed

Todays that 9th anniversary of my Pop-pop’s passing away. Can’t believe its been 9 years already…
Today is a Rest day for me, I know I need it.
Il probably try to get the other tire on my bike, if I can.
Measurements:
170lbs
Waist: 33 inches
Chest: 41.5 inches
Biceps: 14.125 inches
Thigh: 23.5 inches
Glute size: 37.25 inches
Not surprised with some of the decreases. Oh well. Starting good this week.
Going to sleep last night, I was in a state of what I will call Schmerzhaftefrieden (They always using German to name strange stuff it seems, so Il join in). I don’t know how to describe it other than a tormenting peace, contemplating nothing, slow, dreary, and intense, and perfectly flawed.
Time for breakfast.
What am I doing eating this crap.
My body doesn’t want this crap. It wants nutrition. I want more crap because its not getting the nutrition it needs. I need to eat more nutrients.
Breakfast:
2 oz ground turkey

Need 1269 Kcal and 121g protein.
I was thinking this way, and I was reading on here about how sometimes the body isn’t actually craving a specific food, but a nutrient that is found commonly in that food.
A lot of people crave sweet foods. Which is good! But the sweet food is meant to be fruits, not candies and cakes. That’s why they are not satisfied. The body wants nutrition, but the mind doesn’t understand that, and so it thinks it wants more junk food, because it doesn’t know, or has forgotten, real foods.
Great song that I was listening to thinking about this
