Week 1 results.

216 lbs. Goal for next week 214-215

Been eating between 2600 and 2800 calories a day, averaging 2700. I tend to lean out from the outside in so I've seen some changes in my arms, shoulders, and chest. Abs and lower back will be last.

Full disclosure. I'm going to take a performance enhancer today (Cialis) Sometimes it fun to be a rock star.

Pretty sure I’m heading down this path with yah too, might be more of a recomp than a full on cut. But I like the comraderie idea.

Probably start a log monday....

It’s Monday, bro.

Running a low grade fever ( aka nature’s thermogenic) due to the infection. Went to the doctor today and told a little white lie.....that I am a vegetarian and I self inject b12. Somehow that crazy is a little more acceptable than I am on trt.

Did back and cardio tonight. Felt week....probably due to fever. Weighed I. This morning at 215 and change. May need to revisit my goal and revise down to 205-210

Fever broke. Off day today. Took the dog for a long walk. Not crazy about how I am looking ( starting to look small and depleted) but from a day to day sense of well being, I think a lighter weight agrees with me.

Weighed in @ 213 and change this morning. Feel like it’s too rapid of a pace to sustain. Going to evaluate this weekend if I should bump up my calories a hundred or two.

Leg is feeling normal again.

Did back again tonight because I was disappointed in my performance on Wednesday. Tried out a different gym for a change of pace. It’s old school... metal plates, small, with loud music and no air conditioning. I went through 4 t shirts and a half gallon of water. Great gym, but I am not sure I could hang during the summer.

Post 2 week shot. I weighed in at 219 this morning. Have ranged every where from 226 to 213 over this past two weeks. The scale may be a tool, but it is a finicky one. Holding water this morning. I going to keep to plan and eat 2700/day for the next two weeks. Hard to believe this cut is 25% over. I am starting to mind fuk myself and second guessing whether I'll be able to look the way I want in another 6 weeks. The hardest thing about dieting isn't the food choices. It's the mind games.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes keeping a log feels a little bit like whistling in a graveyard.
