Sunday is my weigh in day, so i usually wake super early with a nervous knot int he put of my stomach. As much as I tryt to go back to sleep, the scales are at the front of my mind so I get up, and after trying to pee and poop out as much additio9nal weight as possible, I step on the scales. Today, I'd expected to be a similar weight to last week on account of re-saturating with the creatine, but I was pleasently surprised with a 3.3kg drop! The scale read 104.8kg which is 0.2kg less than what I was at the end of sprint 1. It always feels great when a weeks efforts are rerwarded by a drop on the scales. I also took a few measurements of my neck, hips, waiste and chest - I'll look at these on the weeks where the cale doesn't move. I had a committment freew day today, so started with a long walk with the dog netting me around 6000 steps. I went shopping for some clothes later in the morning. I remember feeling such despair when trying to buy clothes a few years ago. I could never find anything that I'd like and would fit. Occassionaly I'd find clothes that would fit which I'd need to buy out of necessity. At one point I'd started buying 4 or 5xl shirts through the mail. Shopping was always so depressing; excitement of finding something I liked, then the bitter dissappointment of not having it close to my size. The fitting rooms always made me sad as I was forced to look at a body I was ashmaed of while trying on cloths I couldn't fit. I'm currently in between a xl and large size in most clothes, so at least I can find things to buy when I shop. I still hate the mirrors in the fitting room as they often make me sad about the reflection I see. The best time for me to shop is towads the end of my fast late morning after a walk and a cold swim. Any inflamation, from food, or intense exercise will make me look fatter in the mirror (trying on clothes after a weights session is especially bad). I bought 3 singlets which I'll wear for the gym, a hoodie and new cap. I always reflect how good it feels to buy something new that fits well after I shop. For my workout today its a strength sessionm; Strength Sunday I've named this. 6 exercises covering all body parts with looooong boring rests or 3 - 4 minutes in between each set. I Between AI and me we came up with this list: - deadlifts - 6 sets - shoulder press machine - 3 sets - lat pulldown - 3 sets - fly machinbe - 3 sets - heavy sled pushes - 2 lengths x 3 sets - weighted ab crunch with cable - 3 sets The workout was good. I left hardly sweating on account of the massive rest periods. I kind of see this workout as a bit of a rest day prior to going, but it absolutely frys me a few hours later. I know 2 laps of the gym walking is about 90 seconds, so I do 4 between each set on Sundays. It adds up pretty quick if you consider I have 21 rests between sets! I had my usualy protien shake immediately after getting home and soon after jasmine rice and a mushroom, onion ommelette with a few grapes after to fulfil the sweet craving I sometimes have after eating. I need a lot of water after the workout and steps so plough through multiple cans of zero sugar flavoured soda water after lunch. I checked my phone after lunch and noticed I'd clocked up over 15k steps for the day before 4pm! I didn't clock up too many more until I wook the dog out for a walk after dinner getting me up to just over 19k for the day. Dinenr was a roast chicken, some carrot, peas and corn on the cob. No gravey or dressing. Sleep came pretty easy at around 10:30, giving me close to 8 hours and leaving me ready for day 9!
