weight is back up to 200 this morning. Havent really changed anything except drinking a bit more water, so its expected. Cut off time for eating is 9pm. If i supplement with K, Mg, and salt water i usually dont wake up with muscle cramps, so thats that.
Not really seeing any changes except for the waist area and back area, which is good, but im wondering which areas are going to now be the most stubborn because i look nothing like i used to look. Probably going to be the backs of my legs. Maybe.
Ive been tired, but not in an exhausted way, just in a not used to having less amounts of carbs for this scenario kind of way.
Can fit back into my Tool shirt. Ah, i love that band.
Doc prescribed some pain medication, thats pretty much some kind of strong muscle relaxers that you probably compare to morphine. I dont really like them because it feels like im trying to pull myself from under a rock when i first wake up. I dont have to take them everyday, mainly aiming for maybe 1-2 a week? But if im hurting, theres no point in making myself suffer because i dont like medication.
10,000 days, undertow, and And Aenima are my favorite albums, cant really choose either. I also like A Perfect Circle.
I haven’t been to keen on taking any meds. I don’t know, I didn’t like taking my depression meds either because I thought everyone would think I was psycho or something. But I realize that’s not true.
I’m feeling semi-okay cutting down carbs, I realize I’m not going to be as energetic as I would when I was eating enough of them. But its okay, I still have energy, just not spikes of it.
Also a killer option I still remember vividly the first time by friend had me listen to Judas, very loud, on a Sunday morning, as we stopped at a red light next to a church. Unbelievable set of circumstances lol
~1 hour tire flips, mobility work, Agile 8. Just priming myself for work.
*Back is feeling pretty good, ive noticed my hips are chilling out a considerable amount from walking so darn much.
*morning weight is at the high end of 203, low 204. not really tripping because when I looked in mirror I looked leaner than usual. And most if not all of that normal muscle fullness is pretty much gone. I feel all small and whatnot lol.
*calories are at 2,200, dropped off an extra 100 calories, gonna keep them at this number for about two weeks and then reassess.
If it makes you feel any better I decided to do a slow, clean bulk for a while. I gained 10 lbs in 4 days and I now have a square physique instead of that nice V taper.
I already want to quit and cut back to 220 lbs but I’m going to ride this out.
I understand how you feel when everything about your diet makes you look worse than you’d like. Hopefully with some patience and persistence we’ll both come out on the other side better than when we started!
waist measurement has gone all the way down to 28 in. Yasssssss!
Morning weight upon using the bathroom before eating is 199 on the dot.
Measurements for my lower body haven’t changed, bust area and circumference of biceps has gone down by half an inch, give or take.
Strength is doing pretty well, still have bouts of inflammation in my lower back, but it no longer hurts to bend over or tie my shoes, or twist my torso to the left or right.
I swear on everything I look all skinny and whatnot, but its really not as bad as I think whatsoever. Mostly with clothes on it seems that way.
I also haven’t really been eating enough at all. I don’t know what it is about eating less, but after a while I just lose my appetite. Pretty used to the low carb thing now, so I have no problems with having energy throughout the day. Calories are at 1700-1800, so ill probably level it out 2,000.
