Morning BW - 67.4 (!)
Kcal - 1600
Prot - 120g

Notes

Weight continues to go down pretty fast, but I don't feel weak/hungry, etc., so not too concerned. Could probably safely be eating like 1800-2100kcal, but I don't see the reason to as long as I'm feeling okay?

Sleep has been bad, lately, though this predates the calorie restriction. Haven't been able to sleep past like 7am, even when there's no need to be up, for ages. So, skipped workout today to nap, 3 days off is fine. Tmrw a big sesh + feeling a bit more rested, I hope.

Notes

Slightly odd workout. Went for the triple at 40kg on a whim, was v hard but managed it. Don't really know why I failed the pick up the 16kg on that one set of pinched, but felt okay overall on them.

Ab wheel progressing nicely.

Pushups + maybe hangs + some cardio-ish stuff tomorrow.

Interested by morning vs workout weight disparity today, they've been pretty similar to each other in general til now.

we've been waking up super early too, because our room faces east-ish and daylight savings makes the sun so bright way too early. it got markedly better for me after the clocks changed a couple days ago.

Notes

Solid. Was a little frustrated that BW had stalled despite low cals, but that workout weigh-in tells a different story. Wasn't dehydrated or anything, either, afaik. We'll see what next couple days hold on that front.

Tempted to try a pullup 1rm soon.

Notes

Weighted the pushups with weights in a backpack. I get bored doing the higher reps, so that was nice. Also good to do the OHPs after a bit of fatigue from the pushups for same reason, doing unilateral stuff for 14+ reps is tedious, esp with something so core demanding as OHPs, so being tired when I do them makes that more my style.

Pinch stuff coming along v slowly, but, again, last two sessions have been done immediately day after a demanding hang sesh, so that's more or less expected.

Morning BW - 67.2

Workout

took a page out of adarq's book and did 300 walking lunges, more or less non stop. Took 11:42.

Notes

Happy to see the needle move on BW. Think it's probably because I had a good bowel movement this morning, haha.

Notes
 
Well, that's a pretty big PR. Failed on the 1.8xBW attempt, but hit 1.785, so am pretty happy with that. Should start to work OAC stuff on alternate pulling days, now, as I guess the strength is there.

The weird numbers for the higher weight pullups are because i got them by measuring total BW on a scale while loaded, so 119.4 was highest successful weight I managed. If I can keep that total aroudn 120kg while dropping closer to 60kg (probs not getting passed like 63-64), then I'll be golden.

Morning BW - 66.5

Notes

Rest day today.

Have to say, despite low calories, recovery has been really good lately. I think that's probably mostly to do with really focussing on protein intake, can imagine I was usually just getting like 50g a day, maybe 70 on days I had a shake, before this.

yeah as i've transitioned into being mostly vegetarian i'm starting to wonder about my protein intake. should probably journal it out for a while to make sure i'm not shortchanging myself. was never an issue when i was eating meat or fish every day.

i haven't found myself missing extra protein sources at all, but i'm also not trying to put on/maintain mass. though, without as much physical activity, i had gotten up to 157 just eating veggies/rice/occasional milkshakes. without milkshakes & eating alot less (mostly what i grow + rice or pasta), back down to 145. can't feel any difference with/without protein.

i actually got some protein supplements because of the recent craziness, only used it a few times. feels completely useless.

beyond that, i'd eat a ton more veggies/fruit if i had them. would love to see how i'd feel eating way more fresh veggies/fruit right off the tree. predict it'd be incredible.

pc!

Notes

Very low BW this morning, wow. Big drop last couple of days after feeling semi-stalled last week

Lock offs felt pretty good at 90*, not so good at 120*, need to get stronger in that bottom portion. Even weighted was pretty relaxed at 90*, which is fun.

Including one arm scap pulls to hopefully help round out the weakness at the bottom. Haven't have shoulder pain since doing pushups/OHP/pushback/ab wheel regularly, since I think they're all really good for shoulder stability, but the scap pulls reminded me that my left shoulder still has a way to go to get left arm fully up to snuff.

Think the ab wheel w/ weight in backpack is really hard for the amount of weight added, because the weight sits at the bottom of the backpack, so is right over my hips/lower back, so loading specifically at the least advantageous point. That's good, lots of time to progress them then!

reminds me of an old lyle mcdonald piece about the weird non-linearity of weight loss: "of whooshes and squishy fat."
